Quick Update: The construction crew has arrived and we're now ready to break ground. We are happy to see construction is ready to begin. |

Construction Has Begun: We broke ground, and now we have moved from "Paper to Dirt". Today we broke ground and I am excited to see this happen. I'm excited because this is where my client begin to see where he will live for many years to come. Yesterday, we marked out the house, the property line and road to make sure that they were right and so that we could have time to double-check all measurements.

Chekitaut: Weldone bro, Good work wot is the measurement of the dept of the foundation...? 1m (deep) x 850mm (width) Our foundation depth was designed based (slope nature and gravel sand) on the ground conditions and issues with the trees (as trees draw a considerable amount of moisture from the ground beneath the foundation). 1 Like |

Granite So Full Of all the items delivered to site, I'm so astonished to see the quantity and quality of the granite supplied to the site. I can say it that I've never seen such quantity in my years of building. It's so full than I can ever imagine. Goodluck to the 'Lagos Cheat Suppliers'. God dey watch us all in 3D!

brabus: Granite So Full You are surprised by the quantity and quality of granite stone supplied because we are yet to handle your supply. As soon as you are back in lagos, holla at us at penthouse nig ltd. It is always good to patronise a company that has a DIRECT dealership agreement with chinese quarry owners. |
Re: The Chateau In Ile-oluji: Our Construction Journal by brabus(m): 7:14am On Jul 06, 2013 |
jam04: I better be surprised when I'm back. It's a complete rip off in the time past and I'll encourage CLIENTS to patronize companies and not the road side suppliers in order to get value for their money. Our current project is massive but I'm not worried with the quantity of granite on ground. |
Re: The Chateau In Ile-oluji: Our Construction Journal by jam04(m): 7:42am On Jul 06, 2013 |
Seeing is believing..those that have tried us here are our witness. Gettin ur supply direct from companies like ours is the best because we have direct dealership agreement with chinese quarry owners. Also I will advice clients too not to be too gullible when they are trying to get a good bargain. You want a full and correct measure of what you order for but you are not willing to pay the price. How would a client want a 30tons load of granite at ebute metta for 115k!!!!!.are you not 'directly' telling the supplier to cheat u? Forget about seeing the loading tickets that display 30 tons. Fake Loading tickets are gotten for a token(500 naira or 1k max). Always patronise companies with RECOGNIZED presence to save cost. |

Gettin ur supply direct from companies like ours is the best because we have direct dealership agreement with chinese quarry owners.On point but "agreement is agreement" in paper and in words. if a supplier cant deliver at the agree price he shld just leave the supply but never under the sun he want to cheat. |

Chekitaut: On point but "agreement is agreement" in paper and in words. if a supplier cant deliver at the agree price he shld just leave the supply but never under the sun he want to cheat. You think road side suppliers care about their reputation or name? All they want is to get gullible clients to fall prey and unfortunately they do fall. Standards have value and a client who want to spend his hard earned money should know where to look to get value. |

The Driveway, The Uphill Task Taking the driveway through uphill into the site was an incredibly arduous task. We knew it had to be done, but at what cost? How long? What are the alternative solution? How close could our materials get to the land and the project still continue with a reasonable expectation of survival in the season? Yesterday, excavation work was completed early enough but we had to resolve the major challenge of the site. Prepare the driveway so that building materials can get closer to the home site. Of course, the client who's physically present at the project site at the moment sees reasons with us and he's kind enough to forgive schedule slip due to good reasons. The project won't survive long if we have to move materials over 100m drop spot. To help everyone understand the topography of the build site, the land is broken up into three distinct areas. First, we have the river bottom (approximately 4 plots) with 40m setback from the river. Next, the land rises approximately 60 feet to create a long, narrow ridge (about 3 plots) which is our building site. And lastly, the wooded area at the backside (with really beautiful soil and a nice landscape when we're done!). This means there were many hikes across the field, uphill face to the land and its obvious we needed a solid driveway to reach the top of the ridge, the home site. This driveway posed many challenges. First, it is long. Second, it is uphill. Third, it must not demand a four-wheel-drive vehicle OR high clearance. We worked tirelessly yesterday to fix the driveway. Pic 64: The land subdivision as shown from the bridge leading into the estate

Even with best effort, we discovered one of the delivery truck is not sound enough to do the job. The first set of blocks (5,000 pcs of 9in block) ordered are now been delivered to site. Pic 65 & 66: Block delivery. Supplier 2's truck stucked on the driveway.
