Hello everybody. Please what could be responsible for the crack of this foundation wall? Pic below


In construction there's what we call LEP it overturns foundations weather block or cast walls if proper measure is not taken.

Lateral Earth Pressure: is a continuous physical force exerted on the soil right inside foundations horizontally.

That is exactly what cracked up your foundation.

I thought this was a one off. But no.

Morning House,
I just received this quotation from my Capenter to roof my 5 bedroom bungalow house in Kaduna. Please is this quotation ok.
Thanks in advance for your review

Why not buy your wood from Bauchi Its way cheaper.

Spending 1.7million on woodwork of 5 bedroom is a gigantic waste of money!

Kindly help me scrutinize the area of the workmanship to know if it is reasonable enough and if some of the other items asides cement and block can be gotten cheaper.

Setting of 1 block in OTA is about 60-70 naira. 3000 blocks should be 180,000.

Casting of lintel too can be reduced.

Hello people,

Is a BRC wire mesh or some sort of reinforcement required to make coping above a parapet wall.

See attached picture for a sample.

One engineer says just high proportion of cement with sand will do while the other says BRC is required.

Thanks

A BRC will serve as anti crack. Better safe than sorry.

Hello guys.

Finally completed the soil test for this site today.

Machine reached it's final stop at exactly 28 metres deep into the sub structure. shocked

Location is around Ogudu Ori-oke

Like how much should be Budgeted for pile foundation?

Just a rough estimate and not the specific.
saydfact


Hope it's not just one point tested? Sites in that area can have varying pile depths on the same land.

You cant get an estimate WITHOUT sharing the floor plan for knowledge of how much block / work is involved....

IF what you've been advised to use is pile foundation (IF), you'll need more than a rough estimate, you'll need a structural engineer doing a detailed design and a Q.S for cost advice based on that design.

Goodluck
