Hello Spyder,
Are you able to send me an estimate of materials for a 6 bedroom duplex from foundation to completion?
Do you suggest buying or moulding the 9 in blocks?
My emai address is kinzodigital@yahoo.co.uk

Thanks

Welcome, are you the Oga that sent me his building plans? What is the location of the proposed house?

The decision to buy or mold blocks is better made when the location is known, how fast you need the blocks and the space you have in your compound. I will send you a mail later, thanks.

We are still working around the challenge of filling sand. Small quantities coming from here and there as there is no large deposit of sand around here, shifting from distant locations will be very expensive, but we are working.

Re: Construction Of A 6 Bedroom Duplex At Owerri by kinzodigital: 7:50pm On Sep 06, 2013
Hello Spyder,the location is Benin City
I would be needing the blocks in 2 weeks,
Are you able to undertake this building project in Benin City?
Re: Construction Of A 6 Bedroom Duplex At Owerri by kinzodigital: 7:55pm On Sep 06, 2013
hello Spyder,how do I get the 9 inch hollow blocks.Is it buying or moulding?
It is for a 6 bedroom duplex.
Can we use 6in and 5 inch solid blocks without a 9 in hollow block?
What is your advise?

Benin is a little far for me now, but in time to come I will be covering all the other cities. If you have the space to mold the blocks, go ahead and mold, its always cheaper in the long haul.

In this location, a 911 load of sand sells for N7000k, there are no possibilities of hiring a bigger truck because of the road and costs of doing so, I think as many as 45 trips of 911 sand will be needed here.

thanks for the prompt answer, that means we are looking at about nearly 400to450 k to fill the foundation with labour , waoo its outragious anyway oga land should be equol to the task

Thanks Spyder for the prompt reply.
I wish you were able to undertake the project in Benin City.lease are you able to send a rough estimate of the materials needed to undertake the 6 bedroom project from foundation to roofing ie bags of cement,types of rod and quantity,trips of sand etc.
You may not necessarily add the cost- just the quantity,Thanks
Re: Construction Of A 6 Bedroom Duplex At Owerri by spyder880(m): 7:14pm On Sep 08, 2013
We are still sand filling this very high foundation, more than 30 small trips of sand has gone in already. More pictures tonight.
Re: Construction Of A 6 Bedroom Duplex At Owerri by kinzodigital: 7:37pm On Sep 08, 2013

We are still filling this foundation

Re: Construction Of A 6 Bedroom Duplex At Owerri by spyder880(m): 9:47pm On Sep 08, 2013
We are still packing the blocks already made near the house, to be used immediately after the casting of the DPC of this house. More blocks to be made tomorrow.

Re: Construction Of A 6 Bedroom Duplex At Owerri by spyder880(m): 9:48pm On Sep 08, 2013
portions still remaining to be filled, meanwhile more filling sand to be delivered tomorrow.

spyder880:
The owner is in a hurry to move into this house as early as December 2013, but due to the rural nature of the area there are no block industries in close proximity as to make buying a better choice, economically.

I know there is a reason whey I love this my Oga.
I no go rest until you build me my own house oh!

No, this is the "foundation top beam" where blocks are very high, we add a beam to stabilize the partitions.

Sand filling is almost completed on this site, we are starting compacting the soil today, lots of water to be pumped here and ramming arranged. We intend to cast the DPC by tomorrow, thereafter the walling stage will start. We should work with plumbers today.

Re: Construction Of A 6 Bedroom Duplex At Owerri by spyder880(m): 10:09pm On Sep 10, 2013
Now we have completed all of the sand filling, it consumed 47 trips of sand to fill. We are already pumping a lot of water into the foundation to make it sink further, meanwhile I went and bought some plumbing materials to be used in this foundation. Casting of this DPC is so near now.

Re: Construction Of A 6 Bedroom Duplex At Owerri by spyder880(m): 10:11pm On Sep 10, 2013
