Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly .....I am not a builder though.This stuff was taught to akina Mwenza and Pablosmile

Substructure = Foundation walls.
Superstructure = Structure above the foundation.

I stand to be collected!
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

And by the way, machine cut stones are still quarry stones, but now cut with a machine.


Can the machine cut those hard blueish quarry stones ? Zile zikigongwa na chisel zinatoa fireworks ?Eh?

@ Capri - those stones r really hard, they could run through the circular saw in hours. thus i think the cost wud be prohibitive. can the quarry pros shed mo light.

Njunge - kudos on your ability to know this stone costs.. hio ni mjengo proper...

i hear the stone prices have risen thin the last 3 months. something to do with mobile axle weighing machines.

the issue on using machine cut stones for the foundation is not right. you are better of having no foundation at all.
