Thank you for this. I will check the drawings. Just that I am not comfortable with low ceilings seen in some houses.

So let us assume there is no constraints with funding, what will you recommend? 3.0m? Thanks.
OAKGroup:

Well, it depends on what everyone wants or can afford.
If you are not following the height specified by Ur architect which you can find in the sectional drawings then you may adopt 2.4m/2.7m3.0m or even more.
Mind you; staircase has it's own role to play.

Please experts, one engineer was suggesting that load bearing external walls that were constructed with 6 inch-block can be reconstructed with 9 inch blocks with columns at necessary places. But my concern is that the substructure block work (the foundation block block work under the german floor), was also done with 6 inchesbblock.

Is it a good idea? I was the one that posted about the partial collapse of my project 2 days ago.

Is this to hold the parrapet?

The concern I have is that your columns are starting above the German floor instead of on a footing in the foundation.

Apologies if my assumptions are wrong.

For extra strength to be able to carry the veranda beam and parapet. And what if the german floor is broken to get the footing of the columns from the ground. Or can l still use the 6inches blocks for external walls with necessary columns footed from the ground.?

I’ll yield the floor to the professionally trained guys.

If this was my house and I was this concerned then I’ll contact @AbdulWastecX for a paid analysis.

In the meantime, it’s generally frowned upon to build foundation out of 6” block. But I’ll leave it alone and just focus on doing pillars with proper footing.

Why do you need to have a concrete fascia on a house built with a 6" none load-bearing wall?

The problem with the fascia is not only the reaction load on the walls but the twisting moment generated due to its cantilevered nature. To have a fascia, the house must have beams that must be connected to a well-spaced column. In other world must be a kind of frame.

My advice, don't do the fascia and if the veranda space is not more than 3m go ahead with the constriction but make sure the beam is at the head beam level and it must span across the entire wall. Otherwise, consult an engineer or a builder with know how.
