Hello guys, I’m currently working on a personal project. (3 bedroom duplex). I’m ijebu, Ogun state. I gave a senior colleague at my former work place my Design’s to help me process approval and one way or the other he kept promising postponing things. Due to rapid increase in cost of materials, I started the project without approval done yet. Now I have gotten to decking stage and still nothing with the approval. so I had to pause to make sure the approval is done before I continue, even though I would have to pay fine now that I’ve started. The process is going fine with the approval and I hope to continue the project next month. You can see the plan and level where the project is at. I would have brought this up here earlier but I was only searching for some solutions when I got to know about naira land and this thread seems perfect as I can easily get recommendations for professionals to use at every part of the construction. Any ideas and critics are welcomed as no one knows it all. I would love to see your views. Also I would like reviews on the roof design I intend using. I have several questions which I would ask accordingly as the project moves forward.

That way I will be able to use physics to determine how successful my efforts have been, and what I need to remedy.

Weldone sir, I have quick question to ask you in tye design and tye photo of structure you are building.

- Are you trying to modify the existing foundation ? Looking at the pictures critically I could not find any columns/pillar erected ..

The design is a 3-bedroom duplex that means a storey building

KolaShangOne:


Good plan..

For me, I would look for a way to cross - ventilate the Master bedroom.

Secondly, the lap length of your rebars are way too small.. That thing is not lapping at all and will affect load transmission. The Engineer should have lapped it before casting the lintels / columns.

Thirdly, I hope you have a structural drawing? Because why aren't columns on those edges?

Lastly, God is your strength. Building is not easy at this time.

KolaShangOne:


You should open a thread for this remodelling. But I understand you're keeping it low-key.

Good evening.
Please how effective is this against wall damping?

In my opinion, the capillary action of the water also occurs through the plaster.

You may may a very dense plaster mix from the ground to the level of the water proofing barrier properly done as suggested by the experts including the whole ground floor.

This damp issue is manifests on the surface of the wall. Even though the blocks are more porous, I think there are several layers of mortar used to bind the bricks to slow the capillary action of the water through it.

FEGEITOK:


My personal experience, I eliminated plaster sand when plastering internal walls.

My walls were very coarse to the touch and to sight, but my paints adhered like forever. There were no patches and no peels to date, and if memory serves me right, I did this in 2017 so this is 2022, some 5 years later this position is true. I painted it like that initially and felt like who cares, after all I overcame the patches and peels internally, in a house that has been fighting that for several years until I made that decision.

I considered it a badge of honor that a non-engineer achieved what the entire building industry seemed unable or unwilling to tackle.

That said, if you want a smooth wall, then do screeding afterwards. Same effect achieved, but now you have walls that water can't do damage internally.

You may spend more but you will have peace of mind.

Now I need to experiment by using the same mix to my external walls, observe and report.

I also did not economize on cement for plastering when doing the mortar mix, the formula is somewhere on this forum.

I am posting an article to this link to help homeowners and builder realize that when you build, if you want the house to last, you must do everything in your power to slow down water.

This is science and physics at work. You need to understand how things work first before you can change the effect on your build.

https://www.nairaland.com/7351815/home-remodeling-diy-fight-against

One more thing, I have read that capillary action is so powerful that it can raise water by up to 1m up your walls, so this mix does not have to be for the entire wall, it needs to be at least 1.5m and you are safe.

I did that for half the distance between the ground and the ceiling or about 153cm/ 5ft. I left the rest of the plaster from that point to the ceiling as is.

FEGEITOK:


The first time I fought damp walls, I took down the old plaster from the floor to the midway point between the floor and the ceiling in all the rooms of the house. Then personally supervised a cement mix in the following formula

1 part cement to 3 parts stone dust to 2 parts sharp sand and 1 part plaster sand.


Five years later there is no evidence that the house was not properly built, the paint no longer pealed, and anyone workman who has worked on that part of the house said, the plasterwork is like concrete.

I also added a water proofing powder whose name I cannot remember since it is more than 5 years ago.

By the way this was internal not external walls.

I must admit the walls were not smooth. But screeding or another layer of plaster with a different mix can easily resolve that. I later screeded it to make them smooth.
