You have to think about the planned location of the borehole. My advice is to locate the borehole in the front and the soak away at the back because it is unlikely that they can both stay in the same place on 25ft wide.

I once saw 1 twobed and 4 onebed on half plot of 120ft by 30ft.

Thank you. It will be the opposite because the space at the back is too small to accommodate soakaway.

There's actually nothing to fear if you want to park your vehicles on the slab of a soakaway/septic tank. All you need to do is build it the way it will serve that purpose and it will remain firm. You can get the services of a professional in the building environment or you can use any good artisan who knows it.
It's a very simple thing to achieve if you know what to do.
Very true. 16mm rod must be used inside as pillars, then chained half way and the slab probably reinforced with another 16 mm.
But of course 16 mm is expensive , so people won’t do it that way, then it collapses.

Good day.
I want to ask if using damp proof and using BRC mesh is necessary for a floor foundation of a one story building. Considering that one is trying to save cost at this critical time and also, the land isn't a waterlogged area. Artisans advised against it that it is a waste of money, Engineer said i could, if want to. What to hear from people's experiences and also from professionals here.

I will never build my house without damp proof membrane, no matter the soil type. .

While I understand why you stated this, it is not a must that 16mm is used. 12mm reinforcement bars would serve just fine.

No please
Going by the strength of material we have in market now, 16mm should be the least bar size to be considered.

I disagree still.
Standard reinforcement bars that meet the requisite yield strength, diameter and elongation are also available in the open market, just pricier.

While I understand over-engineering the design, blanket statements like the one stated by the OP using the word must isn't always the case.

Good morning professional and gurus in the house. Thank you all for always coming through for me anytime I ask question. Please sir/ma. Is it safe to fix my inner doors when the floor have not been tiled? What is the best way to go about it? Thank you in anticipation of your responses
