Reinforcements.........

How come you don't use the pre manufactured decking planks? The ones with branding on them.

spyder880:
The quantities of materials we bought on Monday for this very house are;

20mm pipes 7 bundles
25mm pipes 1 bundle
20mm couplers 2 pkts
25mm couplers 20 pics
Male bush 2 pkts
4 ways plastic box 2 pkts
3x3 knockout boxes 50
3x6 knockout boxes 55
U box 1 pkt
Y box 1 pkt
Gum 2 tins
Cooker box 1
Bending spring 2


But the actual materials your own house will need will be determined by your electrical drawing, and size of the building. It could be more or less than these quantities here. Thanks.

Spyder as always. Thanks a lot.
I know it won't be same. Mine is a 4bd dup so I go use this one arm myself make the guy do him estimate

bixton:
Is that a double matting on the entire slab?
What could be the reason for such?

The double matting is only on a portion of the decking which has a very wide span. The area is also planned to have internal walls as additional loads in some of the space.
I also ensured I separated the top and bottom layers with a separator.

Nice horse bench as separator.
It can also be used in place of the baked biscuit.

More of this decking mat.......

Now, the decking biscuits, baked to act as lift for the mat to protect our electrical pipes underneath .

Already framing the back.......

Concluding works on carpentry, electrical and plumbing works for this site. Decking cast starts anytime from now.

From the top.....

Our walls here are 10 block courses high, plus the lintels, then another two blocks on top, before we do the decking beam. Enough headroom in this house.

I have seen a situation where the rods in the column concrete casting extends 5inch out of the German floor. Please how do you remedy such a situation considering that the minimum length is 1 foot. Won't it be difficult to tie in the rod for the block wall casting.

Lap length of rods is supposed to be at least 1 meter. If only 5 inches show, maybe you insert rods to lap on the short rods before the next continuous reinforcement.

Do you wait for 3 weeks for the concrete to completely cure before continuing work on a decking

diehard:

No. We can commence work in 3 days after the cast, provided we don't remove the supports under the decking.

We are right now pumping water on top of this drying decking, this is to help the curing process. More water is expected to be sprayed on the deck tomorrow.

Frontal decking wood removed. ........

Lifting the blocks to the deck.......

Work will start soon.

After getting enough quantities of blocks up, forming walls starts in this site by tomorrow.

Forming the walls of the first floor........

Powering upwards. .......
