There's an apartment block coming up in Ruaka that will house 55 studio apartments on 5 floors. We had a discussion with Rafael, the architect of the project, where he explains what the project is all about.
The project will use precast panels for the walling and slab, for a significant cost saving to the client. Enjoy the August update as I try to keep you posted on a monthly basis as the project continues.

using precast wall panel for floor slab is indeed a good idea. In this video, the placement of I-steel beams under the precast panels as support is a key factor. In this way,the building safety factor of the entire floor slab is indeed increased.

Please address safety issues with the workers. The workers need Helmets and safety harness lopes just in case. We do not want anybody to get injured. They should have these safety devices whether they like it or not. We want all the workers to go home safely to their families. All the same nice job.

@atoms2538 5 месяцев назад

Looking at this design, I have been debating whether there is a real saving as appearing in 7:57 compared to a precast T-beam of 150mm and a hollow core slab of 100mm or with a hollow block of 150mm. If you take it that both systems will require a suspended ceiling, especially to allow for plumbing works, this hybrid design leaves a bigger space and such it has advantages. However, where no works are constructed under the slab, the beam and block appear to give a superior finish.

@mwaranle 10 месяцев назад

Hi Nick, many thanks for the great work you do to show case possibilities in alternative building technologies. Will appreciate if you can ask about costs per sq meter and breakdown of costs, cost of foundation and cost of each floor. This will be useful for a landlord who wishes to construct one floor at a time. Thanks

Bwana architect the purpose of soak pit is to drain the septic tank, how do you put a soak pit inside the building since the water in the soak pit percolates in the soil this might weaken the soil stability hence the stability of the building.

@@zippynjeri8984 Dang! That's messed up. Sorry it happened to you. And, knowing the extremely corrupt kenyan government there are no protections in place to protect people from shady contractors! Lots of untrustworthy contractors. Going forward get supplies on your own and only pay the contractors on daily basis on the work they do on that specific day. I am currently constructing a home in kenya. I am overseas and won't be able to see what they do day-in day-out, but have family members supervising their work. Came under these videos because i went with the beam and brick roofing and wasn't familiar with it. But, apparently it was a cheaper option than the traditional roofing.

It's not a structural concern as the idea of using panels is to reduce the volume and cost of pouring fresh or ready mix concrete to make a slab. The steel I beams, concrete beams and columns do all the load distribution of the slab to the foundation

Love your channel. However in this site there are no helmets, no safety shoes, no yellow vests, no harnesses. This construction site has no basic PPE. The 'Architect' is wearing sandals to site! Safety is paramount in any construction site! This makes me question the integrity of the 'Architect' and by extension the integrity of the building.

Don’t judge the quality of the finished product by the safety standards of the “Developed World”.

RARELY will you go on to a construction site and see everyone kitted out as you described, but we build some pretty strong structures….
