By right all foundation should be dug 3feet wide when laying blocks and concrete depth A/ thickness at least 14"" thick

where are you located

[@kwamebrefo5656]

I am a Quantity Surveyor based in South Africa, I do not understand why west Africans do not use insulation when building your roof given the heat in this area, the rock filling should be done first, fill with sand then your damp proof membrane before the concrete is placed, I see they are doing it the other way where they placed the rocks on the dpm, well this defeat the purpose as the rock will punture through the dpm, just given an advise

[@bigpot]

What’s the function of a DPM, to resist upward moist movement’s. It’s wrong to carry out the process the way you have stated. The foundation should first be infilled with laterite sand, and the hardcore placed, followed with laying d DPM and a BRC mesh placed on top. And then the final DPC

[@IntellectualBadman]

We do not need insulation for our roofs, the height of the roof solves the problem of heat. Insulation will only cause more heat rention within the roof. Secondly, the DPC was done right, go and check The Perkins Builder brothers channel on KZbin and you will see that Americans do their foundations in similar fashion as we do in Nigeria.

[@RobertSAIYAMA-yd6qr]

Honestly no installation at the roof given Africa is too hot. Goodness me. And no strong foundation, should apply gravel😅

[@isrealdurotimi]

Well what I'll say is, I'm learning 😂

[@MrKwadwo10]

The majority of all the buildings in Africa are NOT based on science. Everybody builds the way they want to build.

It is advisable to use solid blocks in foundations if you don't plan on putting concrete in the hollow part of the foundation blocks. All concrete are advised to be vibrated to reduce voids by use of a poker vibrator. Hollow blocks are ideal for interior walls as they help with acoustic control/soundproofing. All hardcore in foundation should be sand blinded or soil filled to reduce gaps that may use up more concrete and also create large voids that could later cause the floor to crack from settlement if concrete is not well distributed between those hardcore gaps. Damp proof membrane (plastic) is then laid upon the sand blinding or soiling and over the foundation blocks before the grade slab is poured/concreted to prevent rapid loss of water from concrete, groundwater absorption during the rains by the slab and walls, which will create dampness in buildings, leading to the walls always being moist hence leading to paints flaking or peeling off. Neat construction by the way.

[@vona5251]

Hollow bricks are not ideal for African houses as they trap heat inside the hollows and dispose that heat into the house. Its ideal to use sold brick or clay brick as they repel heat. Hollow bricks are for fencing

[@rap3208]

The hollow blocks are not load bearing, they're just walls.

[@justmelanico4136]

@@rap3208 hollow blocks are used as load bearing units so yes they are load bearing

[@promisec.8665]

@@vona5251 you're very wrong here. Holo bricks are insulators ( they shield you from both cold and hot weathers ) unlike the solid bricks/blocks which are pure conductors of heat and cold. All the same, it's advisable to use solid blocks in your foundations as they assist in load bearing.

Im from south africa. We had our house built in 1995 and still standing strong today. Most of these things were not used to build our house. Once again, this house is unnecessarily expensive. There are ways to do it with out all this admin

[@cluelessjunkie]

Thank you for watching! You have a valid point. Plus, at the very beginning of the video, it was stated that "it's one of the many ways in which a house could be built." Yes, there are other ways to do it. Cheers

[@chukwuemerie]

Share the cheaper ways

[@YOURJOURNEY]

If it wasn’t standing strong today tht would mean a very poor job was done.. concrete houses are supposed to last for a very long time

[@Sensible_Money]

The soil structure in Southern Africa allows for building without iron bars/rebars. Most cities in coastal west Africa are in a seismic zone so these are entrenched in our building codes

[@zavugaderek3306]

Wood requires great skill, it's too fast, relatively cheap and less labor. Alternatively concrete and block is labor intensive, less skill but great supervision, it's expensive and if the work program isn't given attention, the process can be slow.
