NEVER BUILD A BUNGALOW ON SLOPED LAND WITHOUT A CHAIN BEAM Let me break this down like we’re on site together… If the land you’re building on is not flat, especially if one part is higher or lower than the other, and you're not doing a chain beam, you’re gambling with your building. Here’s what can happen: The foundation becomes uneven, and part of your building starts to sink or crack. Walls begin to separate from each other. In a few years, you may need to spend millions on repairs, or worse… demolish and start again. The chain beam acts like a belt that holds your foundation together, especially when blockwork goes above 5 or 6 courses due to the slope. In short: If your land is sloped… If your foundation height is not level… If you’re raising blockwork above normal levels… Please don’t skip the chain beam. It’s cheaper to pour a beam now than to fix a collapsing house later. If you are planning to build and have peace of mind, Vanguard Structures is just a message away. Let’s help you build with sense, not just cement. ©️ David Inusa Ahmed #ChainBeamMatters #BuildingOnSlopes #vanguardstructures #NaijaConstruction 8 #BuildWithConfidence
