With the design of your POP you need strip light (rope light). Recess spot light and strip light will give a good finishing on this pop. Wall light is becoming an old school installation these days.. You can put me in a conference call with the electrician to guide him on what to do.
Alright Sir. Thank You

I have practically used this topic to almost complete my house and also discover that I am being ripped off by my former site Engineer. Thanks to those who have contributed to this topic. I have a question. 6 inches blocks was used for the upper floor of my house . Now I am in a dilemma regarding pipping of the toilets. Is it advisable to do a full conduit piping on the pipe that will send down the toilet waste to the chamber or I should just do an open pipping that is visible all the way to the chamber? Because I am being told that it will require seriously cracking the walls because piping was not made provision for during the decking phase. I don't mind the walls being cracked to conceal the pipes but is it advisable and doable?

I have two questions to ask you sir.
- Is it storey building?
-Did you use 6inches block on first floor external walls and internal walls?
If the two questions above are yes, then you to follow these process.

Your soil pipe must be 4inches pipe and your plumber must look for way around it to make it possible. The upper floor vent can be reduce to 3 -inches pipe to avoid toilet wall being collapse during the first fix.
The conduit on the decking might be somehow difficult because of the reinforcement on the decking BUT if the house doesn't catiilever it is still achievable., you might need to install some Buckhead during pop installation to cover
some exposed pipes. The pop will do it like a design.

Coring would have been the best but the machine is too expensive and renting per day is about 120k.

In the construction environment everything and anything is possible. It's only manpower,finance, the skill set and right tools to do the work.

Please try and respond to this question(s)...

(1) The positioning of the toilets on the up floor on the same position/alignment as that on the ground floor?

(2) Have the toilet waste pipe installed in the wall of the toilets on the ground floor?

It’s a storey building. And the criminal former Engineer used 6 inches all through upstairs. Someone said he is supposed to use 9 inches in some areas. The decking isn’t cantilever. I just don’t want the pipes showing from outside all through out the house (3 areas - Masters bathroom and two rooms upstairs which aligns with the two rooms downstairs) I’m being advised that cracking the wall may weaken the wall and lead to a collapse. I detest seeing duplex with pipes outside the wall and that’s what I’m trying to avoid.

Actually the Engr didn’t do bad work by using 6blk for the upper section of the building ,
It’s not a bad practice , infact in most area in eastern region they do construct this way but it’s just advisable to consider 9” Blk for external wall walls in upper part of such structure to accommodate pipe, burglar bars etc c easily.
As it’s the conduit piping system can still be achieved but it will required some wall chiseling by a good plumber to do this, All the vent pipe will be smaller diameter pipe like 75mm size.

You avoid such by starting your foundation trench excavation from the sloped area and transfer it's levels to the rest of the foundation plan so that you get a uniform level spread.

That's just it.. It is because of high demand of those equipments. In economics the higher the demand the higher the price of the goods... (Law of demand and supply)
