Project Design

Outside of the project blue prints and ability to view the model in real time in 3D (but at a reduced level of detail), it is nice to be able to get 'renders' to have enough detail to allow design decisions to be made.

Main Structure

The structure is composed of concrete footings located at about 3 - 4 meter intervals. On top of the footing is a large ground beam highly re-enforced with 12mm rebar and appropriate cross sections. From there oversize cinder blocks were used as the foundation for load bearing walls. They have large holes (about 15cm. x 10 cm.) which are filled with concrete and vertical rebar to make internal support columns (within the walls). There are 3 re-enforced horizontal beams to give the walls lateral strength.

Roof Structure

Roof trusses are normally not used here. However, they have a number of advantages. They can easily span about 12 m. By definition, a truss does not need any intermediate point of support within the span. The truss design in this house is an M shape. Heavy duty 4 x 2" box section metal (3.2 mm thick) is used to give more than adequate support for the heavy tile roof.

Plumbing

The kitchen is serviced by a grease trap which exits into the a dirty water septic. The bathroom solids route into a safety tank, liquids go into another dirty water septic. The appliances are properly vented, with an air vent rising up through a designated opening in the oversize cinderblock, vertically through the roof material.

Electrical

This project employs proper electric throughout. The system will consist of grounded electric which is run through tightly affixed (the screw attach type) power point boxes. Conduit is routed in the open cavities within the wall to the proper destination. No electric tape is used, wire nut fasteners are used throughout.

Great Room ViewThe kitchen area and the main room are different shades of paint. There is a composite strip base board used as a skirting. dozerSep 27, 2011

Front WinowThe windows are done in quality white aluminum with frames. The walls are thick due to use of 14 centimeter concrete blocks allowing space on the inside for decorative metal burglar bars. There are 4 exterior lamps on the front powered by 2 way switches (interior exterior). dozerSep 27, 2011

Leveling Brick EnclosureLeveling the brick enclosure at the front right of the garden area. The enclosure protects the deep water well casing and pvc piping. There is a submerged pump at the bottom of the six inch borehole, which is secured via heavy duty electric wire + a rope safety. dozer

Glass BlocksThis shot shows glass blocks being installed and the use of plastic spacers at the intersections to keep the blocks equidistant (spacing of 1 cm). dozer

Project MovieA short walk through of the finished project.dozer

Bathroom nearing completionNote the raised elevation water heater and the decorative glass blocks. The water heater was selected because it is more durable than the adjustable water warmer types, it is a Seimens brand. The warm/cold water is mixed at the faucet. dozer

Roof ValleyA scored 1 meter wide strip of rust resistant galvanized is used in the roof valley. A leak proof valley requires a wide piece of metal to ensure that water doesn't splash in during heavy storms. dozer

Initial Formwork for the Lid PourThis shows the initial formwork for the lid pour. The plywood is supported by 2" x 3" form work below. After the pour the form work will be removed.dozer

Decorative Glass BlocksThe design calls for decorative blocks at several places. Within the bathrooms the blocks are laid in place 2 thick. Each block is 8 cm wide and the rendered wall will be 16 cm - 18 cm wide (the oversize cinder blocks at 16 cm wide). Notice the use of 1 cm wood spacers, which keep the blocks and equal distance apart. Both wood and prefabricated plastic spacers were used.dozer

CPAC Quality ControlCPAC Quality Control staff take a sample of poured cement for a compressive strength test. They will let it dry for 2 weeks and then remove the concrete sample from the form. It is taken to a testing center where the stated KSC (Kilograms per Square Centimeter) compressive strength specification of the concrete is tested. A report will be generated.
