Beam and Block Technology: Your Top 5 Questions Answered

[@eliasanyimu1669]

Good presentation....please look into the Safety measures of the labourers.....no safety gloves, some wearing crocs....etc

[@franklyn.gyamfi46]

Bro , you’re educate people and I always watched your program. Thanks

[@jacksonnjuguna2698]

Nick you are doing such a great job God bless you sooooo much

[@_born84]

Good job Nick and team! Next tuletee EPS technology

[@PropertyNoma]

I hope to get an Eps project on the channel 🙏🏻

​@@PropertyNomais the Beam and block technology safe for FLAT ROOFING?

[@petertochukwu3775]

Please sir how do we do electrical work here effectively? Please make a video on it if u can

[@PropertyNoma]

Alright sir

[@jimmymungai522]

Another great video, Nick. I am interested to see how electrical and plumbing works on this kind of technology. (I saw the electrical conduits on this video when they were applying zege) but very interested to know how plumbing for the bathrooms and toilets will be done. Inquiring from Bongo (Tanzania)

[@harrisflomomulbah]

Thanks you so much for this knowledge

[@PropertyNoma]

You're welcome

[@concreteblockmakingmachine]

im impressed by your videos. you are doing a great job. by the way the blocks you are using are too thick and they increase the total weight of the building. there are better options for asmolen block shapes and wall thicknesses.

[@tikeOruni]

I like this Technology. I just think designers and contractors should work on making the resting Ends of these ribs rigid to resist earthquake. I still think casting the Main building beams to the height of the slab and leaving the beam top reinforcements is the best way to make these ribs rigid rather than placing them with a bearing of 90mm as shown in the cod of design. some contractors like to push these ribs to go past other perpendicular crossing beams. very dangerous since it induces high values of hogging moments at these supports. otherwise good stuff.

[@-Mary254]

Quick question, are the beams , sound proof?

[@gandawickliffe4664]

Because the dimensions are standard how do you fix the blocks where the space remaining is too extra that the block may all in or too small the block can't fit in?

[@Daniel-ci8yf]

Hi. The flat beam and block. What size steel must i use for the ring beam around and on the brick wall. 2nd Question , is it necessary to put a at least one or 2 steel reinforcement along the long side for support from sagging. My supplier suggested i do. My space is 6 meters by 3 meters.

[@helleandersen1784]

Please what is the size of iron rod you used to cast the flat beam Best regards Ghana

[@petermbitsi6553]

Can floor slabs made of beam and blocks comfortably support water tanks from a certain height?

[@abasembatya]

Thanks Nick

[@danielubasinachi4808]

What of a building with cantilever, how does the beam and work there? E.g a a three thousand meter squared house but have a one meter cantilever at the first floor, projecting out? How does the beam and block slab applied in such case????

[@davidrwito6223]

What is the size and prize of one block

[@TheAdamengineering]

hi, so the strength doesn't come from the blocks i see alot of buildings now using polystyrene blocks . can you make a video on polystyrene blocks and the savings on using that as well as advantages and disadvantages

[@Agba191]

Which country can I get this block machine

[@jabulanikhumalojeybee4314]

Where can I get beam and blocks. I'm from Durban (KwaMashu)

[@etherealbeaute]

DOESNT IT USE DPM??

[@NickiChannel]

Hi, do you provide your services in ghana? I would be building in ghana and would like to use your service there. I am awaiting your reply. Thanks

[@PropertyNoma]

No I don't provide services there

[@DjTripleK]

In the 'beam and block' technology .... don't you think it will even be more cost effective instead of using the blocks, to use precast slabs that are one meter long, placed between the beams, which will result in using less beams, less blocks and less time??

[@PropertyNoma]

Precast slabs are heavy and can only be supported by steel I beams. The blocks are hollow and are more suitable for beam and block technology

[@Davalmu8262]

You forgot one thing u reduced load as well

[@PropertyNoma]

Oh yeah

[@mr.ndirangumwaura9936]

You skipped over the most important thing. Price. I personally prefer the beam that's designed to look like a railway. This flat one is prone to cracks under weight....plus it demands a brc mesh which is very expensive

[@PropertyNoma]

Oh yes, the T beams. They're more expensive than flat prestressed beams but are stronger and don't need timber supports

[@ahmedkiyimba5934]

Building is not cheap, and the different building styles dont change cost for the same structural strength so much because they are all about looks and different methods of work
