- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Our rammed earth project took place in the Nothern part of Ghana during the Christmas period of 2021/2022. A lot happened in that short time but I can only share as much. If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments sections.
One of the best detailed rammed earth construction video i ever seen.
a house like this, here in Brazil, is worth millions lol
Amazing young men of Africa.build your own homes and be self sufficient. Great 👍
Great video, I’m a female living in Chicago Il. Luv the rammed earth home....I want to build in another country n I’m interested in learning the process! Mena
Wow.
You guys are insane! Love it
Hafiz, I love your Video! It is REAL! No Plastic Moment! Thank You!!! Nigerian Writing from Dallas TX
Beautiful
Nice
hello there , thats an amazing job do you provide any training §?
Thank you for the answer.
I rather wanted to say, what is the dimension for a wall block made (width x height x depth)?
How much earth, lime and aggregates did you use for this wall block (kilos or tonnes)?
Can you construct a flat roof from rammed earth? Also how do you finish the internal floors?
Looking to construct a rammed earth house over a 2 car garage in Kokobin...Approximately 8mx8m.
The quality of your work is beautiful. Nice smooth walls. Do you respond to email? Do you have a website?

Thanks for sharing informative video.
I have a quick questions
What is ratio of clay and sand?
How do you count % of material?
Did you use cement or not?
We did use cement and we measured using wheelbarrow and buckets.
@@HafizAbass
What was ratio of clay, sand and cement?
@@abhajihadi if you look at some videos you will get that anser, some use 45% clay to dirt.
Thanks for the video sir. How can I contact the the management team please?
Once again thank you.
i like this building method but the video is abit lengthy yet over repetitive so i think one can easily bored.
Noted.. Beginner at editing. Your feedback is appreciated.
Can you build a few house from scratch to finish with this method? Contact?
This is really beautiful, what mixture of sand and cement did you use. What kind of sand did you use? Did you use any dye?
Thank you. We didn't use any color pigments in the walls. Just different laterites(gravel) and river sand. Only the test cylinder shown in the last part we added some color pigments. We might consider adding some color for the main project. Maybe for some aesthetics.
@@HafizAbass looks awesome. Any cement for stabilizer or coating on the outside or just pure earth since you are in drier region? Keep up the great work!
@@tfregin1 We did add about 8-10 percent cement and a waterproofing admixture. We are using these walls as test to see how they perform against the raining season.... The northern part of Ghana has only one major raining season which is mostly heavy rains for about 3-4 months so stabilization is necessary.
@@HafizAbass Are you going to use this as a perimeter wall or for a home construction? Just wondering if a slightly longer roof overhang would mitigate the rain issue.
@@kentm8052 The wall in this particular video is a perimeter wall.. As you can see, the top most piece is a concrete capping. We hope that will suffice. Time will tell I guess. I will definitely do some follow up videos on how they stand the raining season.
Can a deton ceiling be built on this earth wall , will it Carry the weight?
Where are these guys I have obtained property in Ghana and I want a rammed house. Please responds
did you find any companies/ good builders?
@@MrJimSmith not yet

Do you offer nationwide services? @ Hafiz Abass
I'm currently out of the country and my team in Ghana is busy on other projects. So for now we do not offer our services. Perhaps in the near future.
What’s your mix ratio ? Soil sand cement what layer of lifts ? Material was it transported in ? Or local and sizes of materials? Looking to build in Fiji remote like this with villagers off grid.. your video is just man hours.
We're using 10% cement. Soil is laterite sieved with a 10mm net to get out debris. Laterite is sourced from a nearby quarry about 20km away. Layers are 15cm rammed down to 10 but there is variations to create a wave-like look. We also used laterites with a little color variation.

@Hafiz Abass will like to know if you made or bought the clamps on the iron rods. If bought where are they being sold?
@@ekowarmah6444 clamps were bought from a local building materials shop.
@@HafizAbass man that's been my worry for months now... where to find those in Ghana.
@@ekowarmah6444 I can recommend H&M Timber on the Spintex road - not cheap though 😀
What exactly are you building? What's the estimated completion time please?
In this particular movie we were building the front facing of a fence wall. The bigger project is a lodge/resort. Not everything will be built with rammed earth though. It's a 2-3 years project. Work is currently ongoing.
@@HafizAbass how do we get in contact with you?
Please do know anyone that can build this in Nigeria?
There is a company called Asaduru.. It is not Nigerian but I know they've had projects in Nigeria. I'm only not sure if they take non commercial projects. Please do subscribe to our channel. In case of any updates, you won't miss it.. Asaduru's website: asaduru.com/rammed-earth-africa/
