More pictures, just before we start the concrete cast of the decking..........

Let's start the concrete cast........

Using the concrete poker to ensure that all concrete is vibrated into the beams, this helps to eliminate air pockets.

From observations u cast the beams before the slab,any advantageous reason or is that the standard.?

That's the standard.

Second staircase area cast with concrete.......

I have been following your threads for a long time. While decking, you don't do that temporary ramp used to carry the concrete up. I guess that saves some cost. But how do your workers climb up and down before and during the casting work?

We have started casting the slab of the decking........

This whole decking and the BQ decking might be completed this morning, more pictures later.

Decking cast now fully completed this morning.......

More pictures.......

Around the house today.........

We will start the next stage of this project as from next week, the new decking is still curing, the rains falling every day around here is an added blessing.

We are planning to resume this project as from tomorrow or next. More pictures from the site when we start.

Taking blocks up on the deck, in readiness for block setting for the first floor.

Let's start forming the walls........

More walls being formed........

More work........

It's raining every day here in this site, but we keep working.........

More pictures from other parts of the house under construction.........

Construction works in this house is in progress.......

More......

The living room today.....

From the side of the house........

Front of the house today........

We are going to have two straight columns made to stand in the front of this building, so we are making the base and the top.............

There this practise I observed around the western region( sagamu to be specific) the columns of a story building aren't extended to roof base (ie colums are casted only to the suspended slab). What's ur take on such design.

The design is good, as long as the client likes it.

U mean no structural implication?
If u got me right I meant no colums on the top floor just the ground floor only.[a one storey building]
