Watching from Kenya and honestly I am impressed by this video. Well articulated, the terminology used shows prowess in the field and the attention to detail is spot on. I noticed the ceiling slab: specifically the ceiling of the ground floor with red bricks, is different from how we do it in Kenya. Is that normal bricks, precast blocks? Kindly elaborate on this and if you be so kind to do a video on how you do slabs over there we would appreciate it very much. Keep up the good work. I love your content.
@@mukizadarwin The same way, but the difference is you will get less plaster on the burglar proof bars. If you're going to do it your way, the workers should cover the burglar proof bars with plastic or cardboard, etc. so that plastering does not get on them.
Why is it that brick layers are very sloppy in Africa, the brick laying skills are very poor. crooked, not straight, cracked and uneven, that will need more plastering work to make the work look neat. they should watching more videos to learn skills.
sir, I have watched the entire video and I am amazed on how you articulated everything. from Kenya and now in the US, I have been doing construction in the US and I have amassed a lot of knowledge here. There are so many things from the video presentation even though they make sense, some of them are not done correctly. building codes in the US are so strict and after learning how they do things, I came to the realization that we do a lot of things wrong but they look right. I would love to have a chat with you so I can share some insights. ( Electrical, plumbing, Kitchen etc)
Very solid basics for residential construction. Thank you engineer Darwin. Also like the music you selected to introduce the content. What's the name of the song/sound track?
Thank you for sharing, very good design and workmanship. Is the slab on first floor a solid slab or with maxpans? And how do you secure it from water leakage and sun damage. Thank you
I have a question I have a 50x100ft plot and I want to build semi detached house like that on this channel, is it advisable to first build boundary wall or house first?
Your video could have been more informative if you had referred your viewers to the building code. This is where one would find minimum distances for sockets from a wet area or cooker.

@@wodetiana It is an issue they have to update their skills and help reduce cost of building. Go on RUclips and watch how blocks are laid you will see the issue. you cant be doing the same thing for 70 years and say it still ok.
thanks for the great job brother.....i love the ending ...thank you for your time ...but please continue with this great job

We call them max pans, made from clay. They're used for filling up space in Holloe slabs
Guy, you shared a great deal of insights! Oba because I am at that stage... The intel is so handy. Thanks much.
Glad to hear
Great video, thanks for sharing...one thing I would do differently is, I would install the burglar proof bars after the plastering is done.
And how would you anchor them into the walls?

This is not jus a house, its a paradise 😊

Failing to plan is planning to fail. I hope many potential home owners learn that from this video
Surely

Glad it was helpful!
This was a timely and very useful video for me . Am about to start plastering my house and incorporate some of these ideas
Glad it was helpful!

Depends on alot of factors. We'll need a deeper discussion on that
Great work ❤

That's too technical, the ordinary client wouldn't be interested in such level of detail. Remember this is a brief video highlighting basics...
Notification recd
wireless power is called batteries ,solar etc.
That's not wireless.
@@mukizadarwin so batteries have wires?
Wow 😮 nice work
Geat work
Why aren't suspended timber floors used in Uganda?
Many Reasons....
@@mukizadarwin can you explain
How many bedrooms is this building?
How much does it cost to build it?
4 Bedrooms
Can you build in Kenya
We're not yet in Kenya, hopefully we'll be there in a few years

We don't use bricks
😂😂😂😂😂@@solomonwang430
That's not an issue

@@solomonwang430 blocks and brick it laying of them must be neat. I will send you videos.
