- 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.

I'd suggest property noma to stop interviewing him juu anawaharibia jina..total nonsense. Uyu mtu I nimemwachia mungu.
@@zippynjeri8984 haiya for real? What happened. Coz he was to come 2 Satos ago he kept me waiting so I left
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.
Nice concrete works the outcome looks good
I like this clear job. Kenya tuko na mafundi wa kweli. Thanks bro.
Good work, I've been waiting this hybrid. I've finally settled to use it
very interesting! Would love to see more of Arch Rafael’s projects
Very neat job
Just what I have been dreaming about.. great one there .. will be contacting you soon
So much inspiring for us looking to build a home very soon.
Go for it!
I love it guys ❤❤❤
Finally subscribed, your content is very good. Let us know the progress and how much they’ll spend. Very interested 👍🏼👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks for the sub!
Hello Nick, Architect Raphael has mentioned a few projects that he has done using the precast technology. One in particular was the 90 studio apartments. Would you kindly post the finished project? As
a future client, this would be highly appreciated.
Noted
Please showcase other finished precast apartments by Arch Rafael. Thanks.
Please Nick, ask about the steel beams if they get affected by rust. With rust they basically would rot and offer stability challenges in future.
I'll ask about this in the September update
@@PropertyNoma I look forward to it thanks
Wow this so creative
We now growing to other technology
Exactly safety to workers is compromised
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.
As a site tourist from the many sites I've gone to, I don't know why workers have an apathy towards health and safety equipment
The guy explaining also needs safety shoes. How can he wear open toes slippers in such a hazard area.
Why was Zippy Njeri asking for a refund? Is she asking Rafael? Its important that this is clarified
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
I'll be sure to ask in the September update
Im here to appreciate good work of Nick and Engineer Rafael , you guys are doing amazing keep the spirit moving.
on matter concerning the sewer system i didn't see any form of plumbing work how comes ?, the second thing is about those steel i beams may be you can give us a rough estimate how much they cost ,how much you can save compared to concrete columns for a 1 story residential unit .please lets us know in the next video .thanks
I'll try to talk about cost estimates in upcoming updates of this project
This will be featured on the next one
I just don't know why I love your products so much. Help me import this to Ghana for my project please
The logistics would be a nightmare transporting to Ghana. Investing in a precast panels factory in Ghana is the best idea in my opinion
Im a Ghanian watching this too, im trying to learn different options for my future house. I have seen some beam and blocks producers in Ghana. They might do this too
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.
Trees for 2x4s cool.
Wow nice, good work kaka, what is the cost difference when you construct it by normal method,
I am interested in this😊
Hi Nick great video as usual. Would you happen to know what type of foundation they used to build this building. Did they use piles or was it raft?
I'll definitely ask in the September update, though I think it's a pad foundation
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.
My friend excellent project... it is any way I can contact Arch Rafael?
Nick wapii hasa in Ruaka would like to visit site nijionee
Good job man keep up
Mucatha area on your way to Banana
I want to shout to the whole world vile uyu mtu ametucost sleepless nights, headache and ulcers.. Nick ambia uyo mtu atiridishie pesa zetu.
Would you mind sharing what problems you experienced? I was thinking of contacting him.
How is the steel I beam protected from corrosion
Whow will be the undershurter finish and can us it when u have a two flour paking space
The method is cost effective coz of no slab shutter and reinforcement provision to slab
I have been following u and i love your work..how can i contact u.i need to fence a 100 by 100 and i would like to know estimated cost
Architect? are those thge right construction gears in this case site shoes?
Aslo i requre a site visit of the ruaka house
Do you treat the steel ibeams against corrosion? Coastal areas are prone to corrosion, is there a suitable alternative?
Concrete beams can be used instead
Fantastic technology. What's the estimated cost after completion pls.
I think this will be answered as the project nears completion
One precast 9 feet long is how much
How much for entire area of 50*100?
Next time remember safety first. Safety boots matters
What is the cost per square meter?
Hi, What are the contacts for the architect?
Hi Nick. How good are precast in terms of sound insulation between rooms verses normal 6x9 stone wall and concrete floors?
It's fairly good as the hollow cores trap air which acts as a sound barrier
Why doesn't the contractor cast the beam to the level of the panel slab?
I have previously asked you the following, review Kenya railway worker's precast houses, what happens when precast house joints crack and today's question, what happens when uchannels rust eg in high humidity areas.
Kenya railway workers houses are made of precast?
This is a real concern. The beams will require maintenance, eg rust protection, but will be difficult to access when the building is completed
I really wanted a house with this panels..sai i cry daily..juu uyu Architect ametufanya tulale hosi juu ya uongo na being rude..
Sorry to hear that. What on earth did he do wrong though? Bad construction?
@skyshooter4009 no construction at all. I paid but akapotea na pesa zangu na hakujenga..aliweka foundation tu na iyo aliweka vibaya. Na ata ivo nilimlipa hakulipa suppliers wake, walikuja kunidai..
@@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.
@skyshooter4009 now I know.
Hi nick.what happening to the monthly updates you had promised on this project
Looking forward to the monthly updates regarding this project
Can you use steel ibeams instead of the concrete columns ? ?
It's possible, but that is the decision of your structural engineer
It's called the framed structure not skeleton
How much does a concrete pump cost and factory made concrete...
Ready mix is determined by the amount of cubic metres you need for your project. Once the volume is known, then they can give you a quote
Trust but verify always. Buyer Beware of your hard earned 💰
The lack of safety on the site gives me anxiety.
So how are the I beams going to be covered from below?
Underneath, you mean
How much per slab panel. My total slab floor araa is about 390 square meter and this is 6 floor including the basement floor
Kindly get in touch with Arch Rafael. Contacts in the pinned comment
@@PropertyNoma I just contacted him, waiting for response
Please please i want to know how much the house will cost.
This is noted for the next update video
Great project! @Property Noma and @Kingdom Precast, do you have partners in Ghana? I have showed your work to some people and they are very interested in this Precast building Technology.
Need the builders contact
@15:41 I just noticed two or three cracked panels.. Should that cause a structural concern on the floor and how much weight it can hold?
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
In structural engineering, we have air cracks and settlement cracks and other cracks that come up due to elements merging and earth movements more on this later
Huyu jamaa ni mkora watch out
Which guy? The architect or the CZcams page. Please clarify we educate ourselves and avoid
@@jackieoy2938 Its @zippynjeri8984 who says u avoid the architect. She has made that claim here several times. That architect also reads the comments section. He has never come here to dispute anything. I believe that @zippynjeri8984 is telling the truth
Kindly adhere to all safety standards, use safety boots not open shoes

Owning a house has become my worst nightmare juu ya this so called engineer
Why? What happened?
Waah why?
This guy is a cheat
Ive asked him to refund my money i start over hataki..na hataki kuulizwa anything, he is so rude. I have all the documents na conversation, i want to put it out kila mtu aone..juu am tired. Tell him to refund my money i start over.
I doubt the integrity of those floors
I would love to have a house using this panel but looking at the careless of this guy with sandals on construction site beat me.who on earth does that? I saw another one on kenya going on site with suit, try that in western world and you are fired.
Safety? Open toe slippers on a construction site? Is this how it is done in Kenya? Please advise the guy in the video to take safety very seriously. You can not protect your head and leave your toes to cut.
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.
Much noted thankyou
Don’t judge the quality of the finished product by the safety standards of the “Developed World”. Here in Jamaica we had a 5.7 earthquake 2 months ago, and only 1 building collapsed and another (built by Chinese contractors) had structural problems.
RARELY will you go on to a construction site and see everyone kitted out as you described, but we build some pretty strong structures….
Am hurt and in distress..
Pole...please take him to the courts
Do NOT risk it all!!
Buyer beware!!!.
This Ralph guy is a very dishonest guy. BUYER BEWARE a conman refined!!!
Engineer mwitu. Kama mnajipenda stay away from him..ni PR tu..
Nilimpea job na ni uongo tu.
Ni mkora tu
Ni mkora tu
Guys watch out
@@user-nt6rt2kv2y pia wewe amekupiga character?
Sasa Zippy, what was the issue? Curious about your experience. Camping here to read your response because was considering using him.
The architect in sandals/slippers????!!! Aaahhhh.. this is wrong.!!
This was my first concern.... hard hat yes, but sandals...No! then the lack of safety equipment for our construction workers. God have mercy (and I'm certain they have no life or medical insurance. PREZO Ruto, kindly regulate.
Wait until you give her a job..utalala hosi. I regret to the grave. Makosa
over engineered!
I've been trying to reach you guys hampatikani

@zippynjeri8984 It is so unfortunate that someone took your money and is now not responding. Nick sounds like he is a genuine guy and I am sure he does not want to tarnish his reputation. Have you contacted him for help?
Sometimes people pretend
