That is the right approach.
For a one-storey building, will the pillars extend into the first floor, or it will just be in the ground floor?

odimbannamdi:

Generally, it extends.

But that may not be the case for all buildings if you understand due to load distribution and positioning/placement of columns from sub-structure to super structure round(internal/external ) the building due to its design from bottom to top.

That's why it's adviced every building comes with a complete detailed plan and adhhered to as long as it is done by a qualified person and you have the right hands on ground at site for proper interpretation.

What sort of certifications should one look out for in someone who claims to be licensed builder?

(Note: He is an elderly man obviously with years of hands-on experience, but it would still be helpful to know he is not just an unlicensed artisan)

If he says he is licensed, why don't you ask him to show you a copy of the licence he holds.

Maybe he went to a technical school and might have written his Trade Test exams and subsequent upgrades.

I know certain companies do certain form of certification for their artisans back then in the '70/80's to enable keep working for them.

Please guys, what is the best sequence, tiling and wall screeding? My engineer is saying that wall screeding should be done before tiles. I was of the opinion that tiles should be done so that the base won't require screeding after tiling but he made mention of sandpaper and painting. Is this correct?

Screed first before tiling.

If you tile before screeding, the screeders might stain your tiles.

About the base, the screeders know the length to stop at for tilers to cover with skirting. They won't screed the base.
