ЁЯПа 5-inch Wall or 10-inch Wall? It Depends on the Structural System.
If your house is a frame structure (RCC column-beam system), the wall between your house and the neighbourтАЩs house is usually a non-load-bearing wall, so a 5-inch brick wall may be sufficient as per the structural design.
However, if itтАЩs a load-bearing structure, the wall thickness requirements are different and must be designed to safely carry the building loads.
Never decide wall thickness based only on what the neighbour has built. Always follow the structural design and consult a qualified engineer before construction.
