DHAJJI-DEWARI CONSTRUCTION
The dhajji-dewari construction is based on a
braced timber framed structural system, in
which normally 4-9 inch thick brick or stone
masonry is used to infill the gaps.
Normally this system is limited to upper
floor levels or attics ( kani ) of the building.
Walls are plastered in mud mortar.
Dhajji buildings are typically 1-4 storeys tall
and the roof may be a flat timber and mud
roof, or a pitched roof with timber/metal
sheeting.
The floors of these houses are made with
timber beams that span between walls.
Timber floor boards, which span over the
floor beams, would traditionally be overlain
by a layer of clay (or mud).
