I am desperately in need of the info
need clarity on architecture
Hi All,
1 . My plot size is 30 feet * 56 feet.
2. In the gorund floor, I build the house using 12 pillars (each pillar contains four 16 mm rods and two 12 mm rods).
3. Each row contains three pillars and like that pillars built in four rows.
4. Each row is separated by 15 feets.
5. In the last 30 X 11 feets, we dont have any pillars/columns and its roof is simply hanging.
6. Can I build the first floor on top of the ground floor? is it safe to build first floor? or do I need to add any extra pillars/columns to ground floor?
Thanks,

Every thing was ready for the roof concrete (gang , centering, bar bending..etc - Indian style roofing )
Sunday it was sunny day ..so we decided to roof on Monday(place bangalore) ... everything was arranged for roofing .

then the rain drizzles continued , we finished the roof concrete work@2pm
Rain started heavily @4..and it continued

cement used - Zuari Primo
