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.
Weldone bro, best advice.

You can use fiber cement board after the woodwork. Screed and paint. It looks exactly like parapet when properly done.

I never try gain access into a house through fiber cement ceiling before. So I no go know. The key word in my submission is "looks". So it is not concrete.

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.?

You're ready to break your german floor, dig, cast between 10-15 footings and cast the column to the slabs height for a concrete fascia? That seems like a lot.

Why not let go of the concrete fascia and just do a normal roof.

For the purlin, 320mm is normally required for the spacing (centre to centre) of the purlin. For the rafter, 1200mm spacing should be adequate. The valley and gutter depends on the wood carcass. The overall dimension of 1 stone coated roofing sheet is 1340mm x 420mm.

In addition, I had a brief stint as an undergraduate.
