There are different technologies to construction. i believe what tito meant was using 'precast caly hollow block cast on the ground and erected.To elaborate further,
You arrange 1row of the clay hollow blocks on the ground . The blocks have a groove at the top where you place a steel bar running through. you then place meshwire above the blocks and lay about 50-75mm thick concrete overlay on top. what you get is a 'precast beam,which you can place on top of a beam. The beams are place abutting each other and when the slab is all covered you can lay 50 mm thick concrete. this is deemed a cheap technology and faster method of construction.

@mosby; you are missing one important point: one of the most important objectives of final year B.Sc project is to help build the student's creativity....in coming up with a project. Now if wel tell you the project to undertake,we shall have effectively helped you cheat in your exams!

Come on; you are young and energetic; you are the kind of people that Kenyans have put the hopes for the future on....to come up with creative solutions to our problems; Get your creative juices to work and come-up with your own project!!
