perfect job. weldone sir

Wood formwork and iron reinforcement work in progress. We got a bit delayed by the rain drizzling but got back on the platform once it fizzled out.

Iron reinforcement work in progress, top bar and return bar work in progress.

Staircase wood formwork in progress, 1st and end unit formwork done, working on the 3rd unit.

nice job Engr

@twinskenny, thanks for the props.

Electrical conduit work ongoing and plumbing conduiting also.

The iron bender is done with the floor slab reinforcement and has started work on the staircase reinforcement and hopefully should be done by Monday evening so the carpenter can wrap-up work on the stair risers also.

By Gods grace, we will cast the second floor suspended slab within this week.

I am afraid of this guy...this your work is too super, you will cost an arm and a leg...nice job!

Where in Surulere is this that requires Pile Foundation?

@Jamesqu, I actually don't cost an arm and a leg, my fee is quite reasonable and is based on a percentage of the estimated total cost of construction.

The location is off Ogunlana drive in Surulere and the pile foundation was recommended from the soil test done for the approval process.

All works on the second floor platform concluded today with the completion of the labourers stairs.

Clearing of the site for delivery of granite and sharp sand now in progress, by Gods grace, we should be able to cast on Friday or Saturday.

@Bitworks... what is your email address? Thanks.

The work I am seeing here is work of real engineers who are solely into building strong structure. You can't compare sleep with death. There are engineers and there are also "builders/engineers" (riffraff).

Choose wisely.

@mufutau55, email addy is seyisodiya@yahoo.co.uk

@fastshipping, thanks for the compliments, we try our possible best to deliver strong structures to our clients.

Casting of the second floor suspended slab about to commence. Two trips of 20 tons sharp sand delivered and 2 trips of 20 tons granite also. One trip of 20 tons of both sharp sand and granite has been put on standby.

By Gods grace, we should be done by 6pm.

BITSWORKS:
Wood formwork in full gear, the platform should be ready by tomorrow, Saturday and the iron reinforcement work can commence on it.

Staircase formwork will start on Monday and hopefully should be done by Wednesday.

We decided to use marine board for this suspended slab to hasten the process of formwork and also do a neater job while we can also still reuse the boards for our next project.

Great Job Boss! What's the cost of these 'marine boards'? A unit of 8ft by 4ft.

Regards...

@Dominionng, a unit of 8ft x 4ft marine board cost between N5500 and N7500 depending on quality and reusability. Thanks for the compliment.

Dear BITSWORK, thank you very much for sharing knowledge. It is one of the greatest service one can offer humanity.

I really appreciate your work. I am looking at building a terraced triplex like these, however just semi detached, but bigger floor areas.

I will really appreciate a cost breakdown of this present breakdown updated and how we can work together if you have the time.

You may choose to post the costing here on the forum or ivrytilers@gmail.com

Cheers.

Still allowing the concrete slab to cure before we start the blcok work. However, we will start with internal works on the ground floor and first floor.

The electrical works of pulling cables will start this weekend once all the wires and distribution board needed are purchased.

We will also start with the internal rendering work (plastering) on the ground floor.

Good to see you are back sir. I believe you are now as the concrete floor you just finished .

Block work started on the second floor slab today, having given the slab 10 days to cure. We only have 2 bedroom space on this floor so the work will be a bit fast.
