What do you mean by water logged? And what the remedy please, it kinda very urgent.

Hello all,
I'do appreciate you can help take a look at my 3 bedroom floor plan for criticism/recommendation. While i am yet to conclude this plan and get BOQ (out of curiosity-can 3M build this + roofing)? your input will be appreciated. Thanks

My candid advice is for you to start with what you have as there is no better time to start other than now. I started something about two weeks ago (a 4 bed flat, all ensuite) and you will be amazed at what I was able to achieve with a little over 1M. Although, the major factor that determines level of achievement is location, I stay in the north where the soil is stable to a great extent and labour cost is relatively cheap as well as cost of building materials.
Furthermore, make the property section of NL your building Bible (especially this thread)as you stand to gain a lot from experienced professionals that abound on the forum - they are always ready to help and I pray that God bless them all.
I've had instances that my building contractor would want to cut corners but the experiences I've gained so far helped me out.
Another point to note is, during the course of building, don't add too many unnecessary extras that are outside the original plan as this will help you to save cost.
My bros, Start with what you have!

Pascopele:

Give more information. Describe the situation more. What kind of building? Half finished storey building? Is the problem occuring in the room, kitchen etc? What kind of building is this? The photos are not enough to understand what is going on.

For those that are building on a budget and came here for a lesson. Please try to roam around the properties section for great historical threads from notable builders like Skimanski, Aventures, KolaShangOne, Darenyx, Spyder880, etc

These guys have selflessly shared their professional system with us so that we can learn.

I have been offered many land that sits near rivers, dry waterbeds, etc that I refused or tried to negotiate to a lower price. I know what it requires to live with water and it's expensive. We've had house collapses on here, we've had sinking houses on here.

The type of foundation is important. Those that are building in Lekki etc and spend millions on foundation are not throwing money away, it's what is required in most cases.

When you're building near water or a storied house then you most definitely need experienced pros that includes a structural engineer, you need soil test, etc.

Good luck on your projects.

Sample pictures from a Skimanski thread. If you're doing a self build and not experienced then these threads from Skimanski and Spyder880 are required readings.

You remember that our friend CQ1 I think frm Canada who's Duplex of millions nearly sank?, Damn mehn we've come a long way since page one!

Great word of wisdom from the elder. Honestly building on budget start from land Aqcuisition. If you try to economize unreasonably on a very poor soil then you may soon loose everything.
I have a project that was put on hold because the cost of foundation is more than the cost of building superstructure.

KolaShangOne:


Same way I do with cement here too. Infact we had to buy nylon to cover things once rain starts.

Is your site around Igwuritta?

Oga so U dey PH like this

God help us.
