Using T-Beams & Blocks to Make a Flat Roof Bungalow (Part 2)

The client wanted a flat-roof for her house. She opted for T-beams and blocks to make the slab. T-beams are self-supporting, meaning they don't require timber props for support, unlike flat beams.
-117 SQM
-Ksh 4,200/SQM (incl materials, transport & labour)
-75 mm concrete topping (150 mm total depth of slab)
-The T-beams & blocks were laid on the 28th of March and the concrete poured the following day. Hence a 2 day job!
-BRC A142 mesh used

Hello Norma...always watching your videos. Does this firm ship to Trinidad & Tobago? 🇹🇹 I would love to use the panels to build my dream house 😊 I am willing to travel and visit Kenya 🇰🇪

[@PropertyNoma]

I'm not really sure about shipping abroad, but you're more than welcome to visit

[@specialtgodbless1388]

@PropertyNoma can you perhaps point me in the right direction to get this information please and 😊 thanks

[@georgeochieng6625]

Good job guys 💯💯💯

[@oumlowe8885]

I just done constructing my farmhouse using this method in The Gambia

[@smeargut1809]

hello, may I ask if you waterproofed the roof and if so how did you do it?

[@bartlikbartlik]

How do you ensure no slab leakage?

[@elormking7975]

well to avoid moisture contents penetrating into the slab, it's advisable to apply DPM or waterproof paint after concrete works. Buh it will be of good if you ensure the pipes laid do not burst during construction processes and the floor tiling works at the washroom and kitchen should be overseen diligently.

[@ahmedmuktar3493]

Is it possible to transport T-Beams & Blocks to Wajir town?

[@luckychugu5416]

Must be great

[@columbuspalmer846]

I like that type of structure cinder block and concrete. It will keep the interior cool all year round at 50,60 degrees if it 100 degrees outside.

[@PropertyNoma]

Yes indeed

[@zubutv.]

Wonderful video Nick! Thank you 🙏🏾

[@PropertyNoma]

Thanks KC

[@PremierLuzuryLifestyle]

Can this be used in first floor of a house , where gadgets like freezer , wardrobe tv stand and everything other household items will be placed on top of it

[@PropertyNoma]

Yes if it's a suspended foundation

[@bartlikbartlik]

Again safety compromised

[@djbutchkenya1191]

In what way?

[@fikrug2]

Can you please give us how much the rebar’s(wire) is tensioned?

[@PropertyNoma]

I'll do more research on this

[@fredrickokoth1578]

Hey Nick, which one is cheaper to build a slab; between beams and blocks and slab precast pannel.

[@PropertyNoma]

It depends on the size of your plan and time

[@anozienicolas7654]

In the absence of a precast company, can one precast the beams on site?

[@PropertyNoma]

No you can't

[@skyshooter4009]

How heavy are they compared to the traditional ones?

[@Nakes786]

[@ajwangesborn]

[@PropertyNoma]

Yes, t beams are heavier than flat beams
