jites: spyder880: @ Jites, how I wish I can help, but Sapele is far for me now. Is your inlaw knowledgeable about buildings? Jite, Sapele is actually far for Spyder880, Asaba or Agbor should have been a bit favourable, I had wanted him to handle my project there cos of his expertise, but there are still trustworthy and Knowlegeable builders in sapele, my dad and brothers who are knowledgeable in building are keeping track on my builder and project and also sending pictures on every development so my absence is not felt at all, I will see how it has gone when I will there in february, just ask your inlaw/supervisor to screen and investigate the builders before hiring and he should also go to the market to confirm things for himself, and talk to owners of projects they had handled for their reliability and trustworthiness. Shikena. I will try to post some pictures and development for others to learn from my experience. |

Your love, support and encouragement to us was so much that we can only say a big thank you.We all in one form draw inspiration from eachother and I honestly won't have started my project if not you! You play me wayo making me believe it cost 50 naira to build a house but it worked because you turned around and provided every single building step free of charge which a lot of people wont do and every dime I invested in that project is worth it and honestly its much easier when you kick off! Thanks for being you and God will open more doors and even windows lol this year! Cheers 1 Like |

Re: Building A 5 Bedroom Duplex In Ebonyi State by spyder880(m): 6:31am On Jan 03, 2013 |
bugmenot: @Spyder Before I comment, I assume all block work for the upper floor is completed, is this quote for beams as well as pillars before the concrete facial? |
Re: Building A 5 Bedroom Duplex In Ebonyi State by bugmenot: 11:37am On Jan 03, 2013 |
Actually, the block work is yet to be done. And yes, the quote is for columns, beams, and concrete fascia on the first floor only. I don't know if this is a good idea but the engineer plans to cast the beam and concrete fascia together. I'm thinking it might be a good idea to do the fascia separately, what do you think? |
Re: Building A 5 Bedroom Duplex In Ebonyi State by spyder880(m): 1:40pm On Jan 03, 2013 |
bugmenot: I was asking because I couldn't see the blocks on the list. Ask him again, how does he plan to do the concrete facial on the beam except if he raises the normal beam till after 12 coaches of blocks? |
Re: Building A 5 Bedroom Duplex In Ebonyi State by bugmenot: 7:05pm On Jan 03, 2013 |
spyder880: In all honesty, this might have been driven by my push to have all structural members of the building completed prior to having any blockwork done; the engineer did actually suggest including some blockwork at this point. Going by the drawing I uploaded earlier, the concrete fascia / parapet is attached to the columns / beams, am I missing something? Your advise on the order in which I should have the builder proceed will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks! |
Re: Building A 5 Bedroom Duplex In Ebonyi State by spyder880(m): 7:54pm On Jan 03, 2013 |
bugmenot: Okay, first answer is that the quote is fair haven taken all the works involved at this stage into consideration. Different builders have different reasons for using the systems they use. The quote could have been higher had he done a first beam before the beam/parapet. |

Happy Sunday friends Contrary to the quiet nature of this thread, we have been very active here. Despite the natural inclination of workers to rest during festive seasons as this, I have still found willing workers and we have since concluded everthing about the parapet fascia, treated the roofing wood. The roofing proper was supposed to start yesterday but negotiation about price for the job broke down and I left the site with annoyance on Friday. The carpenters didn't call me yesterday and I tactically avoided speaking to them, but they just called to confirm they will be starting the work early tomorrow morning (Monday). I will be there and possibly, pictures will be here by tomorrow evening. |

For some of the arch casting we did, we are starting to remove the wood to see how sweet it looks.

The roofing wood work has started, we are going to raise the height of the roof to command some respect in the neighborhood. Currently it is standing at 20ft.

Re: Building A 5 Bedroom Duplex In Ebonyi State by spyder880(m): 2:20am On Jan 09, 2013 |
prince_onx: It is too tall of course, 20ft is too tall for a house like this. I have already given instructions to my men for them to reduce it. |

There are indications that we may do another duplex of almost this size in Enugu very soon. As we are doing the plastering and windows/doors/ plumbing and electricals in this house, we might be starting the foundation of the new Enugu duplex. Arrangements are in top gear and we shall keep you guys posted. Meanwhile more work to be done here tomorrow. |

@Spider, Dear God Father, I hope by now neighbours have fenced their land - so that mine will remain back and front view? Warming up to start something soonest. Fear has always kept me back but each time I come across your thread I get a good dose of inspiration. To send your balance soon. I stayed awake throughout the night to peruse this thread. @ all in the house, taking you down the memory lane! Mr spider helped me secure a plot 2 yrs ago. Stupidly, am yet to pay him his money which he commited to exigent expenses as per purchase, (Osie) |
