Lol you'll know the difference between someone who had msc& bsc and just bsc in engineering na😅😅

[@ruqayyahakinwande787]

I would recommend going 3 blocks higher than your road level(reference ground floor), especially if the building is in the south with high rain fall.

You are welcome.

[@ArasomwanMarvelous]

Can we have a detailed video as regards ground beam from architectural drawings, do you have to bring out all the partition walls as drawn in the floor plan in the foundation? Or strategic pick of walls to serves as ground beam

[@ebybrandy9880]

1. What's makes up the weak Concrete used for filling the hollow blocks? I want to know if it mixed with chippings then poured & filled up? 2. What is your take on the use of sharp sand to fill to do 100 percent filling Or the use of Latrite & sharp sand for 70:30 filling 70 = Latrite (below) 30 = sharp sand (on top)

[@themillionairesgroupaxenic1515]

Can’t one use solid blocks instead of hollow blocks please?

[@Emmanuel_Ejike]

Sure you can

[@themillionairesgroupaxenic1515]

@@Emmanuel_Ejike Many thanks for this response. Should I request double side by side or 1 in a row is OK?

[@themillionairesgroupaxenic1515]

Can’t one use the solid blocks?

[@dorisejike2475]

Clear and precise information. Great work...

[@Emmanuel_Ejike]

How many mm of Rod did you used for the rings was it 8mm or 10mm?

[@Emmanuel_Ejike]

@Uduak Harry We used 8mm for the rings

[@ikwuochejohndavid7000]

Can't rocks be used for the foundation instead of hallow blocks?

[@bansdeiasare293]

👍❤️

[@kingsleyanyadiegwu6105]

How many ton of latran for the filling

[@ozoejikechiamaka8495]

Can you use Sharp Sand to fill your foundation or which Sand is the best to fill foundation or pit

[@Emmanuel_Ejike]

Sharpsand (or a combination of laterite and sharpsand) is the best filling material , especially for water logged site because of its good drainage properties and stability. Traditionally, laterite (red sand) is used since it is cheaper and because it offers stiffening advantage when dry. If your site is not a water logged, laterite should suffice.

[@Emmanuel_Ejike]

[@TomOmo-h7s]

Can you do it for me

[@oshoadeseye9325]

Instead of literite y not go for rough sharp sand

[@Emmanuel_Ejike]

sharp sand could be used or a mixture of both
