Around the house. .......

The design of this house is for the walls to stand a full 3.3 meters. .........

This will mean that we will have 10 courses of blocks as against the traditional 9 in most house designs.......

Rooms partitioning inside this house. ........

Lovely house.....

More work ongoing. .......

Ok, I will call Fashola to create an office for me
It's a dry land there, damp has not been a problem in all the houses we inspected in this location.

Thanks Chief, you're truly an inspiration to a lot of us but I think you know that

With 10 blocks, that means your looking at door heights of around 2.35m against the regular 2.1m.
That might pose a problem during door installation depending on the type of doors to be used.
I'll suggest dropping the lintel height around the door areas (i.e the carpenter should drop the bottom below the block level)

Our double mats for stand alone columns..........

Why are you double matting? What load will be carried by this pillar? And where is this particular pillar on the floor plan?

Strictly following the structural drawing requirements.

This might pose a small problem. I have spoken to the architect and he confirmed it's his design. I also consulted the owner of this house on this.

However, I have seen some doors as high as 2.4 meters in Nigeria before.

Yeah I've seen metal doors of 2.4m, but if your client intends to use imported wood doors,
That's when the small problem will surface.

The alternative will be to make the doors locally and that's when I come in.

Lintels, columns, casting ongoing. .......

There are about 5 columns in different sides of this house. .........

I have the same height problem for my door ways.

Did you make the doors you attached here?

Still moving ahead here......

Planning the decking already. ......

Is the 3rd door in your post a pocket door? I'm looking to have some custom made in the near future.

Ok sir,
I'll probably do that via email so I don't derail Oga's thread

I plan to do that sir,
KOMAN KRAFT LTD is into a lot of things and I need to showcase them on Nairaland.
Thanks

It's not a pocket door,
Note: to make a pocket door, you need twice the openable space, i.e to make a 0.9m pocket door, we need 1.8m space.
