While you guys are sleeping...
I really didn't want to get involve in this thread.. but here is my take.. The building was structured for story(ies) building.. you can see that from the earlier decking.. There are columns (pillars) in there, you can't see them because they have been plastered already.. and look at the picture with the iron joined together.. you will see an earlier iron there joined with the new ones... When a house is decked the pillars does not protrude only the irons protrude so that other longer irons can be weaved/joined/daisy-chained together to continue the pillars.. and I am sure the pillars you saw on the outside walls are not the only ones.. there MUST be internal ones to carry the inner load that the cameras did no show... I am sure the intention of the owner is to live on the downstairs for a while until he/she can accumulate more money to raise the upper levels.. so he decked it and put outside fence/wall on top and hide the irons that protrudes, I know this because one of my father's house was like this in the 70's... I hope my ramblings has helped... And remember I am not a Builder or a Building Engineer, just my observations. (I can't believe I get involved in Brabus thread).

Note: Study the photo below carefully, you will see where the old pillar and the irons (interwoven) meets the new iron for new continuation pillar.
Brabus.. If you say I am wrong with my analysis/observations, I will delete the post so as not to mislead others.

@Brabus: is the 450K in that advert for formwork (which was my original interest) for:
*Supplying the boards only?
*Supply and nailing them together only?
*Supply, nailing together, concrete pouring work (material and labour as you call it) of the building or just per floor?
When you say "material", what does that include apart from the Boards itself? Cement, Sand, Granite, e.t.c?

Take as you deem correct, to clarify things for me.

^^^^Pricey a bit (my opinion) though l may be wrong!

On the other hand, l wont expect a formwork that covers say an area of 2400sq/m to cost the same with say one that covers an area of 1200sq/m (just examples).

It may be cheap for the larger size but will appear expensive for the smaller size.

What if l suggest to you that you should "break it into modules" like saying "X' amount of naira for "Y" sq/m of Formwork?
Something similar to the way you broke the building proper into "small-small manageable modules".

This is just a suggestion to make it more attractive to would be customers.
It will also make it seem "fair" to them and yourself in the long run.

Pay me later ...........if you think the idea makes sense!

BTW: You can quickly corner the market now, make your gains before others venture into it........ like an early bird, because l think it s a good method.

I think what 'fastshipping" is talking about, which l think is being evaded, is the two pictures l have tried to recapture below.
He is asking if those Pillars going up from this floor, seeing that they actually have no continuation/origins from a floor below, can support the weight they are expected to carry.

Now,
*You say YES, they can.
*You can also say "They are a continuation from bottom" in which case you just have to show which from the picture cannot be true!
*You can also say, NO, they cant.....and make amendments on that building before its too late.
I cant even see a V-shaped support under it, which would have been an option to distribute the weight using principle of "Moments about a fulcrum".

I understand it is the job of the Engineers to explain this and Brabus has said he is just dong formwork on the building, finito!

Just Pouring WATER on the sand fill, to make it compact properly.

Brabus builds a lot of "effizy" into his work... and it works.
