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.

Project MovieA short walk through of the finished project.dozerSep 27, 2011

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

Soffit CaulkingThe soffit underside is caulked to fill in any irregular gaps. Notice the use of plastic before the soffit painting begins. For some reason Thai workers don't like to use any kind of masking material as a preventative, it takes continued perseverance to get it to happen.dozer

External Front Right ViewOn the sides of the house there are decorative glass blocks (a row two high) above the windows. The windows and doors will be of high grade aluminum. dozer

Form Work for Beam #2The formwork for the pour of the beam. Note the 12mm rebar laid horizontally within the beam is wire tied to each vertical piece of rebar.
dozer

Front of HouseThe front of the house. Note the window openings each have a vertical rebar column on each side. A 10 cm beam will be poured across the top of the window and door openings at a 2.1 m distance from the floor.

In wall power point boxThe metal boxes are used within the walls but the same tight conduit connections are made with the screw fit connectors.dozer

Plumbing Entry ExitThis shot shows the 3 plumbing entry/exit areas within their designated over size cinder blocks (1 entry/exit in the forward kitchen, 2 in the bathroom). Also note the vent pipes which will run vertically up through the ceiling, will be tied together, and exit through the roof.
dozer

Tubing Used for Level of Beam #2Thin plastic tubing which is filled with water is used to determine a level horizontal line for the 10 centimeter beam which will run along the entire structure above the window level. The beam will be located between 2.1m - 2.2m from ground level.
