Just get ready for cracks in the future... The cantilever reinforcement and detailing was wrong.... It is unfortunate today that everyone is an engineer and builder..

The pictures didn't do justice

Lol structural drawings properly followed.
Structural drawings done by a COREN Registered Engineer.
The cantilever in question is not load bearing, it's a balcony for the master's bedroom 5m long x 1.2m.
Hidden beams Y16(6nrs T&B) and we have both horizontal and vertical.

Most of us here are qualified builders.
I have a certificate in quantity surveying and Civil engineering .

Nice work here

There's nothing like hidden beam and the cantilever does not satisfy code requirements .
Truly you may follow the drawing but its wrong and satisfied by a coren registered engr is not a rule.

Reason he's trying to play safe with the hidden . he could have drop the beam and POP it underneath or satisfy the code requirements for the cantilever slab by returning the bar appropriately. I get he's trying to save cost by not wanting you to break the slab behind by almost 50℅

.

Saying it's not load bearing is also bending the rules oo

By the way clean job following

The structural engineer specified we break 700 - 750mm in. Which is what we did.

Then as per "hidden / concealed beam" , it's widely used globally and recognized by all construction regulatory Bodies. Hidden beams carry the same depth as the slab and proper calculations have been done in this case.

Moving towards 9coaches

Following like I ve said for us not to derail this journal.
How much is block and cement along that axis

Block is 220(depends on your bargaining power) - 240

Cement is 3100

Yes it is

Front view taking shape

Been a little busy.

Work Progress.

Current stage.
PARAPET woodwork
Meanwhile we are trying modify a few details.

I will surely really love to see the 3D of the building.
Thank you.

Modified:

It's a concrete facial.
But layman language "parapet"

This is making me uneasy but I’m sure it’s been engineered sha.
