@mawinder..any pics? This sounds like reinforced concrete prefabrication. Butterfly properties/Spinners n Spinners, located in Ruiru have the machines to make prefab concrete which they use on their construction projects.

Have emailed you

majimaji can you post the pictures here??

On a different issue, i'm perplexed by a building being brought down at State house crescent which is 12 storeys and appears to have been built with bricks and no "concrete columns"? Wondering how this is possible and was thinking walking around bwana a4architect you could check it out and clear my doubts.

@a4architect can you advise on a suitable source of finance for a building project, i have already began the project and done with the ground floor all that awaits is for lay the slab for the first floor, i tried looking for financing from Family Bank however i found their interest to be steep at 22%, could you kindly advise on a cheaper source of financing.

@tomtom..good to hear that this method has actually been tried before and it works. Can you send me pics to info@a4architect.com?

a4architect, i live out of the country so not in a position to take actual pics but will try post something similar

Hello there @a4. My most profound appreciation for the great work you're doing here.

I was going through the newspaper today and came across this article. What is your opinion on the same?

@rankaz. This is the usual stabilised soil block technology. As long as cement is being used in large quantities, there are no serious cost savings achieved.

Interlocking stabilised soil blocks made out of red soil or murram would be a better cost saving solution.

In the case of using quarry dust, the block looks like stone hence the added advantage of superior class higher than soil block houses.

Is this legal?
