malkomx:

Pls bend to give 1-inch or 25mm concrete cover. i.e. 175mm for the 225 column and 400mm for the 450 column measuring out-to-out. @ what stage is your building now johnson232?

malkomx:
on-going perimeter fence work

malkomx:
And this is where we are. The real work has started

malkomx:
This is our plan

erico2k2:

From this plan are you saying you are having waste pipes in front of the house?

johnson232:

Thanks a lot for the response. Just wanted to know if my builder is on track, it's a remote place. The building is @ slab level, the builder says he is gonna need to increase the height of the beam reinforcement below the slab. Hope this is okay sir? Where are u base?

malkomx:

Johnson232 increasing beam height above drawing specification is not favourable to the pockets but if it is done to achieve purposes not anticipated during design stage then at the discretion of the builder/site engineer these changes can be made. Thanks for following this thread.... I'm at your beck and call for professional engineering advice. I'm based in Portharcout

johnson232:

Thanks for your response sir, and I hope to work with u soon, that's if u are willing to travel, as the next project will be in edo state. I can see your work is moving on smoothly, neat job, Just saw the elevation, the project is quite big.
what is the depth of the trenches and column base?

malkomx:
And thoroughly vibrated mechanically too

diordaves:
Malkomx nice job.

The plan is good and I like the flow but I will prefer the visitors toilet not to open directly into the living room (parlour). With this opening into the living room it means the toilet door has to be very air tight or the smell from a visitor doing number 2 will filter into the living area and may affect folks having their meals. I have seen it happen. As the case may be, look into the possibility of locating the door to the visitors toilet in the verander downstairs but it will be tricky situating a toilet in the verander upstairs so look for a creative alternative.

Your work is very good. Well done.

erico2k2:

brov nice one, how's the weather there? hows the rain treating you guys?

malkomx:

erico2k2 we are bracing the weather with proper timing of operations.... though the rains have abated a bit

malkomx:
Now we're good to go. Building is set-out and excavation is on-going
