Good morning engineers in the building.

Please I want to ask a question. Is it possible to start roofing immediately after casting the parapet?

Just 24hours gap.

Depends if you're building those sandhouses we used to build as kids.

You think it’s a show ?

I asked to confirm something and your calling it show ?

Well I’m not here for any show. I only did my findings because engineer was saying I can start the roofing the next day after casting. Which wasn’t comfortable with me.

That’s why I came here to ask. Well gotten my answers.

If you feel it’s a show then so be it.

Am not rushing. Engineer was saying I can start the roofing next day after casting. That’s why I want to be sure because I know the parapets hasn’t set for load

No

It's not recommended to start roofing immediately after casting the parapet with just a 24-hour gap.

Concrete typically needs more time to gain sufficient strength to support additional loads.

Don't rush it

Why the rush?

Just imagine the question someone is asking.

Later they'll start blaming village people when things go wrong.......Only Chinese technology can make that possible.

For safety purpose, please, calm down. Don't rush in and later rush out.
Wait for like 2 weeks or a month then continue. Those engineers are after what to earn
The more they wait, they sometimes been idle

Where you dey see people to build this kind house.
Your dad must be a relative to dangote

Why does he want to start roofing immediately, is the house running away.

Make it 6 hours ….

You are blessed to build a house why not make it worthwhile …

You should record your conversation with that engineer and get him arrested immediately

Na people like him dey endanger people's lives because of his stomach

Hmm in this rainy season?

It's like you want small breeze to come and carry your roof and go

Yes, but dont remove the formwork.

Parapet is not a load bearing wall, the roof load directly transferred on the parapet beams, not the projection (outside) and then the load distributed to columns finally to foundation footing.

Let me handle your block decking professionally to save you some cost and achieve maximum strength

I did mine after four days

Lol why you dey rush is ur Landlord after your life or what...

Warn your Engineer

Concreate takes more than 24 to really solidify

Take a hammer to it after that 24hrs. You won't have much issues breaking away a chunk

Try again after a month. If you can break out even a small chunck without stress it's not a good mix you used

Concrete needs time to strengthen up

Why rushing.....

Parapet aren't part of load bearing structural members.

It means it doesn't carry any impose load apart from self load.

So you can continue your roof work the following day but leave the formwork in place to prevent any damage to the parapet itself.

No u cant. The concrete is still curing and setting. You are supposed to be watering that concrete for proper curing. Give it two weeks to set properly and have a good development before talking about roofing

He probably wants to impress some people

You can start roofing 24hours after you finish the wood work which might take you 5 to 7 days depending how fast the workers are.
