If you live in a dusty area, the precast with lots of curves will be getting dirty often, making you repaint the house after some time.

True...But seems the precast is more flexible when it comes to design.

Sir,
You can kindly attach your link to your thread so anyone interested can click on it and follow through instead of continually putting up your products because someone asked a question as regards it.

So as a builder you advise to load a fresh slab after 3days, ok.

Is there any law that says its wrong?

People have been known to build a single storey building in 30 days.

I thought d op was referring to suspended slab & not german floor....Going by the number of days stated for concrete to attain max. strength, i think it is wrong...

Moreover, building a storey building in 30 days can only be possible in Nigeria when precast concrete is used...& We know that isn't the case in this instance...

Probably u can give a rough breakdown on how u intend to achieve insitu concrete for a storey building within 30days...So we can learn sir.

There are lots of articles out there but you can get a hint from this link

Proper planning and you'll hit that time frame.
Get the right number of workers on site you can handle.
Remember strict supervision is the key to a good outcome.

I have even done after 2 days

kopell:
Bathrooms window N900, regular N1,800 big windows and doors N2,300, Ark with very good looking designs N2,500. The are not even precast, these are permanently done before plastering with all materials suppled by me about a year ago.

askmeee:
I have even done after 2 days

It’s just a story building of twin duplex,3 bedroom each

It will sir...But u gonna have a linear kind of design for it work.

so for of a building project, at the beginning stage which of the options is better, and why. 3br apts x 3 on 1 plot of land

1. buy a 20ft shipping container, [cost btw 150k to 250k], and store your cement+other building accesories inside, this is in addition to the having a small batcher house where a few workers may sleep over.

2. construct the gate/security house first, and let it serve as your store room, while construction is going on

3rdly, am thinking of having separate water tanks for each of the 3 apartments, with a 4th one being for general purpose, washi g cars, security man use etc, and i intend to mount the tanks on top of the security house, what are the possible pros and cons of this plan?

The above number one, please be careful if you can send cement to site on demand
Your bags of cements might have legs to walk away

There are only 2 types of people who are not yet criminals
1.....those who don't know how
2.....those who are yet to see the opportunity

It’s a flat roof,with block works covering it,as shown in the pictures but for 2 units

Guess the structure is going to be a double storey.
1....You can build 2 separate batcher 12x12 for cement/material and the other for workers to sleep.
2....You can possibly put 2 tanks on the structure or build a separate tank stand and put 3 tanks on it to serve the apartments inclusive of the security house.

Teebawse:

Probably #220k inclusive of nogging.

Just a question
Since its a hidden roof, why don't you just slab the entire roof?

bixton:

That’s going to cost me more than the roofing is the decking alone for the first floor for the 2 units cost me almost 6m

yeah its actually a twin duplex, but 1 side of the twin would be 2units 2br apartments, 1 up.. 1 down.
i hate the sight of tank stands, i am still thinking of how am gonna ide the tanks.
the idea i have is to have a recessed/deep flat roof, like in the picture above and plave the tanks there, so that they will be barely visible from the ground, the only draw back to this is that the gate house cum tank stand will now tower far abobe the main building,

the other option am toying with is to place 2 tanks on the flat roof of the main building, and now have the other 2 tanks on the roof of the sec man house, being that the 2 tanks there would be serving the ground floor apartment and the gatehouse, it doesnt need to be so high again, so being on the roof of the gate house would be ok, and the gate house can then be only ground floor

Lounge, dining, kitchen one side
Rooms the other side.
A very simple floor plan.

Since you don't like tank stands, your architect/engineer can incorporate 2 separate slabs on the main building where you can place your tank(s) and the positioning should be in a way where you can put a roof over it so it flows with the building.

Putting a tank on the security house will look a bit odd.
