After completing your house, you definitely need sofas and here are the options you can choose from.

It is characterised by a pronounced hump or two on its seat back. Slender rolled arms are their contemporary shelter arm as seen below.
2. Modular Sofas.
These are versatile and adjustable as they are made up of a number of separate segments. Each moveable portion can be configured to fit into most living spaces. These couches are generally L or U-shaped and are very comfortable.
3. Daybed Sofa.
As the name suggests, it's a part time bed and sofa at the same time. They are often constructed of upholstered, wooden or iron frames.

As you can see the beam-like bars around the edges of the slab opening below, it helps mitigate cracking and also prevents cracks opening far enough that they would become a problem by stopping them from propagating further into the slab.
It can be placed in diagonal or straight but also must be installed near the surface of the slab as that is where control of the cracks is most important. However again, it is best practice to support the trimming reinforcement using spacers and cast the concrete around it.
If concrete cover is not controlled, it renders the trimming reinforcement redundant and cracking will not be controlled. It's also good to have the additional number of bars equivalent to the rebars interrupted by the openings.
An RB slab is erected with steel bars reinforcement and arranged bricks within the spacings. Steel bars are arranged with some distances based on the structural design determined by how load of the slab is distributed & the desired shape of the final slab.
It's ideal for roofs in buildings. The distance among the bars is occupied by bricks which are arranged on its edge. The bars are provided among the bricks in both directions, then mortar along with the least possible water quantity is used to fill up the distance among the bars.
As you all know bricks are permeable, therefore the slab should be plastered with mortar having enough water-proofing compounds on the upper surface. On the bottom part, it can be left unplastered as seen in the photo above.
It's not ideal for places with heavy rains because..
When building, a staircase is designed to bridge a large vertical distance by dividing it into smaller vertical distances.
1. Curved Staircase
This style has no landings, stairs are continuous following a bend to make a striking architectural statement.
2. Straight Stairs
This type of staircase as the name suggests is literally straightforward. Straight stairs feature a single linear flight with no change in direction at all.
3. Quarter Turn Stairs
The classic straight style, meshed up a little. In this design, the stairs make a 90-degree turn at some point, going left or right after a landing.
This masonry type uses fine dressed blocks that their edges around the exposed faces are beveled off at an angle of 45° for depth of 25 mm or more. The courses are of the same height in ashlar masonry & joints are all uniformly thick, thin and regular.
600mm long straight edge on the surface is never farther than 1 mm from any point on the dressed face. In the finished item, the face will be discernible. No point on the surface of the top or bed deviates from the straight edge by more than 3 mm. There are no side surfaces...
that make up the vertical joints where a point is dropped from the straight edge by more than 6mm. Furthermore, the surfaces of the internal joints are prepared such that no portion of the surface is farther from the straight edge than 10 mm. Every corner & edge visible in the..
