Qc1:
work is still on going but the master bed room should look like this....
This Master bedroom POP is nice and the problem is can the person doing the pop replicate it.

I remember a friend that gave a dinning Table catalog to one Baba Afusa to re create and Baba Afusa did a bad job grin

Why blame baba Afusa? The blame should go to the person that saw the name " Speder 880 interior deco Inc." But decided to give this kind of job to local Baba Afusa!

Who's to blame here really?

Thank you Hajj Mufutau55.

For now, the water is stabilized. Moreover, there are more people building in the area and the near by canal is about to be dealt with.

Congratulations.

This is one thing I won't stop till I achieve it. Borehole drilling has been a problem because my area has rock but with three wells to be dug on my property, I should be able to achieve this too.

I know that there are many building color experts in the house, could you guys suggest some beautiful but rare colors or tiles or mixture of both?

Two or more heads are better than one!

Thanks.

Hmmm. I hope you're wrong about not doing the slab initially. When was the slab finally done? After superstructure block wall? To what stage?

Many don't realise, for a raft foundation to be effective, the slab has to be there. In a raft, technically the slab carries the weight of the building. The raft beams only keep the soil under the building within the raft area. It may be a little confusing, but if the slab isn't there the foundation is as good as a strip foundation.

Ive looked at the pix well now. I also modified my comment above. Pls read everything again as I just added comments here abs there.

Good luck bro, and well done so far.

The problem is this type of foundation is not a raft foundation. It is more like beam on grade foundation but we always confused it with raft in this part of the world. The construction techniques and reinforcement pattern of this type foundation is quit different.

All raft foundation must have the beam and slab monolithically cast together and the slab is designed to have contact with the soil with reasonable bearing capacity to support the building , hence excavation must be done to a suitable soil specify by soil investigation. These raft may be only slab (an inverted flat slab) or with beams to reduce punching shear of columns (up stand or down stand beams). That is the major reason why all raft foundation comes with basement.

The type of foundation use for this structure is beam on grade foundation. The settlement problem results from the uniform settlement of expansive clay and not from bearing capacity failure. If water can be avoided along the foundation area then the building will stand
