Hi guys. This is a bit of a long one:

So I have been away (hustling and stuff) and decided to build a low budget functional house for my family and stop the house rent which is becoming a drain. I decided to build on a 50 by 50 plot of land. A basic 2 bedroom bungalow.

I did very basic floor plan (see attached) to allow for enough space for rooms and a packing space which can take 2 cars. I used this tool http://www.sweethome3d.com/ for my floor plan.

Due to my busy schedule, I left the supervision with my brother since he had experience in construction. He hired the technicians and hands for the project while I provided money.

They took the project to lintel level when I came back to inspect it. Unfortunately I was very unhappy with what I saw. Here are my concerns


1) Against my instruction, my brother still went on to mix 9 inches with 6 inches for the outter walls. I told him to use 9 inches for the outter walls of the house all through and reserve the 6inches for the house. This was not done instead 9 inches blocks was used up to window level and 6 inches used to lintel level. I fear that this might affect the structural integrity of the house in future, since the house was designed not to have pillers and DPC was not used in the 3 course foundation.

2) I halted the roofing of the house because the carpenter recommended I use head course which is a casting done round the house 2 courses after the lintel. Is this really necessary?


My brother said the style of laying 6inch blocks on 9inch was fine since I wont be doing parapet and the soil was dry and good and " people do it alot without issues" but am not sold.

Is they any remedy to this before roofing? please gurus in the house. I would appreciate your take. I have attached pictures of the property in its current state.
This might not be an exact science but you just have to be sure. Its your money and at the end of the day you house. If i find my self in your shoes, with my wealth of experience, I would neatly crack of some coners in the house and simply erect columns for the sake of reducing the load bearing on the Blocks. At least 10 to 14 column points will solve the problem. Because with the way it is, blocks are the one bearing the load.

We are trying to totally write off PVC and Copper Piping on our small scale Projects, as the difference between pVC/copper supply lines and the Green Fusion Pipes supply line is abt N200k in cost. But with the green Fusion, you can have a Water Pressure Pump and Get your self an unbelievable water supply like you are Overseas.

Water Pressure target as you see in one of our project.
