MissShakara:
Did you say 4 units of 2 bedroom apartments on 161sqm? can it really enter? can you pls post the plan of the building?

While Waiting for d OP to answer u.
In d mean time and to answer on behalf of BITSWORKS, i will say yes becos i av been to d site and i also think it's a story building wit 2 down & 2 up.

@missshakara, yes its 4 units of 2-bedroom terrace and its on 648m2 (36m x 18m plot). I will crosscheck the total building area (161m2) again to be sure there's no typo but each semi-detached unit is roughly 9.5m x 6.5m

@smiley001, thanks for the assist.

We are currently casting the columns and lintels and laying 2 coaches on that before we start the formwork for the first floor suspended slab (decking).

Columns and lintels have been casted, getting set for the casting of the 1st floor suspended slab.

Thank you

For the first floor suspended floor casting, these are the materials we used

1. 1nos trip of 20tons 3/4 down granite
2. 3nos trip of 10tons sharp sand
3. 80 bags of cement

The casting was done by a team of 16 people and they started at 9:30am and finished by 4:00pm.

First floor block work has started in earnest and we will be casting the columns and lintels this week.

Septic tank and soak-away digging and blockwork is also ongoing.

Septic tank and soak-away work currently ongoing. Running this works simultaneously will help reduce total project timline.

The size of the septic tank is 11ft x 11ft x 11ft while the soak-away is 5ft x 5ft x 6ft. We used 6inches block for the soak-away and will be using 9inches block for the septic tank.

The cost incurred as listed below

1. Digging - N40,000
2. Blockwork, flooring, plastering, reinforced slab cover, columns - N80,000

Perimeter wall is also ongoing, we will be taking it up to 12 coaches. We are using 6inches block and will be using the block to brace the wall at 3m intervals to act as columns. This is a cost saving measure once the soil is good.

In all, we bought 5 tons and here is the breakdown

2. 12mm - 2.5 ton
3. 10mm - 1.0 ton

We still had like 0.5 ton left of a mix of 10mm and 12mm.

BITSWORKS:
The size of the septic tank is 11ft x 11ft x 11ft while the soak-away is 5ft x 5ft x 6ft. We used 6inches block for the soak-away and will be using 9inches block for the septic tank.

Thanks for sharing this.

Lol, thanks for the good words sir. On a low budget and with a good soil to support it, 6inches blocks are perfect for perimeter walls.

That's an impressive N34 per block layed.

Can I expect to pay the same for the foundation of a bungalow?
