But Spyder my plumber told me that the second hand(Belgium)is stronger and last longer than the new ones.How true is that?

I mentioned it here in the earlier pages, the second hand is stronger, costlier but not glittering like new ones. I think my client asked for new ones, will call him to verify.

@ spyder880, can't somebody use a solid 9" or 6" blocks and lay them horizontally on the foundation floor of the fence after excavation to use them as foundation footing of the fence instead of casting the floor with concrete ? have u seen it done before or ever done it urself ? isn't it a better and cost effective way to minimise the cost of the fence, what do u see the idea ?

I have seen it done in many places but I have never done so myself in any of my projects. I think you should consult a building engineer or a relevant professional to take a good look at your land before you conclude. Thanks.

Oga Spyder, pls what's the height of that fence?

Also, don't forget cost of security barb wire for fence. Thanks.
Re: How We Built The "Luxury Block Of Flats" In Enugu by gtrust: 9:52pm On Nov 22, 2014
Oga Spyder, assuming you change the design to 7 terrace houses instead of 7 flat, same cost or which is more expensive?

Just thinking out loud that it maybe more "luxury" if they were terraces
I maintain my own territory kind of feeling with nobody living below or above me!!

I will measure them next time I visit the site, the fence had been built before I came into the project. I am still waiting for some items to conclude on the barbed wire. The initial price laid is about N86,000 but thay will not be enough. I have not paid the guys that will fix the wires or the other fitting accessories.

Kerbs are the longer ones? What's the size of the area to be covered by the interlocking stones and what's the estimate to get the job done?

The size is nearly 600mts and the total package is about N1m. The amount includes the production and laying of all interlocking stones and kerbs, filling sand, waterproof, compacting, landscaping, designs etc.
