olabukola: please what is architecure, structural, m&E plus BoQ. All these are getting me confused the more. 2 bedroom pass 2 bedroom o. A very nice plan you've got there. I think N1.5m is a good price for the proposed development. |

Good Job mr. Brabus |

Demain_man: The question is if the design (see arrows) is another way of building parapet using wood instead of concrete? Mr Brabus good job and keep it up. This is for you I have seen raft foundations done this way ie straight off the land like in this case and then there is the one where they dig 2-3 feet into the ground and then do the raft foundation. Aside from the obvious that you need less filling sand for the second option what advantage does the first which you have done have over the second. I really would appreciate your response. Thanks |

olabukola: please what is architecure, structural, m&E plus BoQ. All these are getting me confused the more. Architectural Drawing is the drawing that shows the plan and elevations, Structural Drawing shows the well structure of the building. M&E shows the mechanical/plumbing and electrical design for the house and BoQ is the bill of quantity that attempts to show the material and labour costs required to finish the project |

gabbytabby: gabbytabby: The depth of the footing is ground dependant. You don't go deep because you want to save cost. Here are few reasons why may you have to go deep on your foundation. 1. The ground is weak or soft, and you need to dig deeper until the ground at the bottom is very firm. If you can easily push a rod into the ground, you probably still need to go deeper. Don't always rely on structural drawings alone (in this age of copy-and-paste). A physical assessment is a must when you're building on weak soil. 2. There may have been trees on the ground, the roots of which will render the ground disturbed. 3. Your land is on a sloping ground which requires deep foundation until stable ground is found. 4. Foundations of other building nearby are lower than the road level. Back to your question, we're are building on a stable soil with established level. We only need a footing that is adequately substantial to carry the proposed development. |
Re: From Paper To Brick: Construction Of A Semi-detached Duplex by gabbytabby: 12:30pm On Apr 23, 2013 |
Thank you Mr Brabus. You probably dont save on filling sand cos they put 2 coach of block before german flooring when they dig down but it must give better peace of mind about stability when you dig or i'm just old fashioned? |
Re: From Paper To Brick: Construction Of A Semi-detached Duplex by segcymoor(m): 10:42pm On Apr 23, 2013 |
brabus: To buttress your point. The basic thing suppose to ve done prior to excavation is to remove the top soil, although many people don't consider that. The top soil is usually a black sand of about 4 to 5' on d ground. All top soil in the building area suppose have remove prior to excavation. |

olabukola: Just the masters B/room and a sitting room/bar. Solid, can you send me the upper part to see at broadeni at gmail dot com? I plan to do a cost effective semi detach bungalow on a plot. I think we have spoken about this design before on phone. I still have some free plots in your area. |
