We should all knw that Doctor can only kill a person at ago, but Builder/Engr can kill thousands at ago ( that's when building collapsed)

Please let give chance to a professional when comes to any technical question. Though you Homeowners can also buttress or comprehend.
Guess by adopting this system we won't mislead people. Thanks Good morning to you all have a wonderful day.

Please house what could be the cause of this crack at each 4*4 windows of simple bungalow. The crack line from top four course down the foundation and did not reach foundation. No crack walls. Only on windows

See pxc

diordaves:
Try post pictures but if the cracks are occuring by the windows as you said, it may be your lintel work. Your lintel might be too short that is if you've done the lintel.

Post the pictures for a better diagnosis.

Rubbiish:
When u say the cracks did not get to the foundation blocks, does it end at the German floor? See if u can post pics for better clarification

rotecch77:
Very correct.
I don’t know why people will say hand made block will be stronger than machine made sand Crete block, when you used same ratio for both (same quantity of sand, cement )to produce same quantities of block

segzy14:



The compressive strength of the vibrated block is more than the hand mould.

How many days was d wood removed after casting?

thaqib:
So this bungalow has been basically completed but the drainage wasn't taken to consideration during the foundation stage. It drains back to someone site( not yet developed though). It was a sloppy land backwards really. What can we do now to drain forwards to the gutter? If we fill the rear, it Will encroach on the entrance. Urgent advice needed sir

yinkaoke:
Good day House.

Please I am planning to continue my building. the last I did was the lintel, now am contemplating filling or doing the roof, please what is the best for me? filling or roofing?

if filling, any special ways to reduce cost, its a very simple and small 4 bedroom building with square shape. I learnt I should dig septic tank and use the sand to fill first.

if its roofing, any special ways to manage cost?
Thanks as I await your professional responses.

Try reducing the size(MB) of what you intend to upload.

bixton:
When you say "sharp" are you referring to the "smooth" type..........
I have no business using smooth type in my jobs ooooo. Don't think I've seen smooth Y10 in my environment, except Y8 and the square type.

bixton:
Standard is Y12.
You remind me of one of my clients who asked me to do same.
This is my response to him and same to you.
I will used Y12(rectangular) on the external.
Y10 for internal(triangular) but at a lesser stirrups spacing.
And will use Y10 every where in the building but stirrups spacing with be 150mm c/c if triangular.

If you intend putting concrete fascia, please kindly use Y12(rectangular) on the outside.

Professionals in the house. Please I need your advice urgently. I have just plastered a duplex and I did a decking or slab for my water tank on top of the roof. I just realized during the heavy rain that the slab or decking where we have water tank on it is leaking. I see water finding their way from the water slab to the wall inside. Although my plumber has assured that he will fix everything but I am considering doing a scaffolding and put my tank on it. So I want to know if it is possible to fix the slab as claimed by plumber I should just go ahead and do the scaffolding. I was told that slab will always leak even if it is not now, it will leak later
