Thank you @A4Arch.. Any reasons? I have two neighbors with wells. One is as per your suggestion, the other 'hid' his behind his house.

Naam. Been seeing them too in my rather infrequent sojourns those sides. Very nice colors.

@mukiri..welcome. Reason is that the front space will need to be left free due to local authority byelaws so its best to utilise it with the water well.

@A4Architect am looking at purchasing/making metallic plates that are used for supporting a slab as it dries. Is it possible to advise on cost per unit and which metal is best for such? Thanks

@mibbz..will find out n revert.
@african coloner..your structural engineer should be in the best position to advice. 3 to 4 weeks is the norm. Spreading sand over the slab helps to retain water and aid in the curing. For columns, covering with gunny bags assists in retaining moisture during curing.
