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

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?

[@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

[@JohnAdamsy]

That's lightning fast!

[@skyshooter4009]

​@@PropertyNomaDoes that include the labour's or just the materials?

[@bartlikbartlik]

How do you ensure no slab leakage?

[@ahmedmuktar3493]

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

[@luckychugu5416]

Must be great

[@bartlikbartlik]

The t beam is it per square meter or per linear meter or rather per meter?

[@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

[@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

[@user-lp2yz9zl4c]

Does t beams add too much weight to the house than flat beams

[@PropertyNoma]

Yes, t beams are heavier than flat beams

[@skyshooter4009]

How heavy are they compared to the traditional ones?

[@Nakes786]

[@osmutlimedia6754]

You can’t do this in Nigeria our block/cement is not strong

[@bartlikbartlik]

Again safety compromised

[@djbutchkenya1191]

In what way?
