In the frame work building, raise the columns/ pillars up to ground level and joint all the pillars with plinth beam, also lay beam for walls to be constructed at ground if any according to plan. In the beam where we want to construct the wall additional reinforcement will be laid.

Thank you for your response. I want to know is this safe because usually in building foundation they link pillars at foundation level i mean below the ground. But here my engineer is not linking the pillars below the ground instead he is constructing the plinth beam frame work at the ground level. I just want to know why this is ? Is it safe during earthqaukes, also does this bear the weight of the duplex on the first floor ?
Thank You, Tej

The safety against earth quake for laying beam at plinth level is o. k.As you want safety for duplex, the weight is to be bear by columns/ pillars.not by plinth beam.

I have one more question regarding this. Please excuse me if I am repeating the question.
Since my foundation does not have Stone Foundation and I have only columns/pillars and plinth beam at ground level. Since i am construction G + 3 levels. I this a safe and strong construction or do I need Stone foundation. I am just worried.
Could you please let me know.
Thanks,
Tej Patil

The load is to be bear by RCC column / pillars no by walls.

In my opinion there is no use to lay RCC Beam on brick work as ultimately load is bear by the foundation below it.
