DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION Of A 2 BEDROOM & 1 BEDROOM BUNGALOW(semi-de)IN LUGBE ABUJA by Olabamijie(m): 4:47pm On Mar 14, 2016
Hello Nairalanders,

As you may be aware, I made a post sometimes last month; stating that my client has a little problem. He bought 21m by 19m dimension of land from one of these estate developers here in Abuja on which he is expected to build a three bedroom bungalow as specified by the developer. I believe we are all familiar with their clause of having to build in accordance with specified prototype mandated by the developer. My client is a single young man and he feels a 3bedroom apartment is just too much for him for now. We consulted the developer and they relaxed the clause just a bit: we are allowed to alter the interior parts of the proposed plan but shouldn’t shift a block of the exterior (window/door positions MUST remain the same).

NOW.

At AJIBSHELTER, we converted the old design into a functional Two bedroom apartment with sitting room, guest toilet, Kitchen with a store, dining and both rooms ensuite with toilets, and another One bedroom apartment with sitting room, guest toilet, kitchen and the room ensuite with toilet under the same roof.

The implication is that the client can recover his cost of Construction within 6 years by staying in the 1 bedroom apartment and renting out the 2 bedroom.

It is high time we stopped developer and some professionals alike from reaping us of our hard earned income. This project is to be used as a case study on how to provide professionally delivered affordable housing to Individuals in good time without any compromise with quality and standards.

Consequently, AJIB SHELTER Team is to supervise the construction and delivery of the project within the scheduled time. Subsequently, I’ll post pictures/expenses and detailed information on the project at each stages via this thread: Kindly follow Olabamijie ; feel free to ask questions and make concise comments and recommendations.

I therefore present to you the project in full;

Nice one, bros. I have a personal project in the same area, behind Trademoore Estate and with the same situation of being mandated by the estate developer to build a 3-bedroom bungalow. We converted ours to two (2) semi-detached 2-bedroom flats internally with each having its own entrance.

It was a very tight and difficult job indeed for my architect to carry out, considering the fact that we had to stick to the external dimensions of the building and maintain to a large extent, the external elevations of the building.

Wishing you the good success in your project. By the way, what area of Lugbe is this project/ what's the name of the estate?

Hello Nairalanders:

Sequels to my earlier post, the project has commenced as expected.

Stage 1. Site Clearance/Setting out/excavation.

Procedure

The production of an accurately detailed plan is usually the first step in the planning and design of a construction project. Thereafter the project, as represented on the plan, must be set out on the ground accurately relative to dimensions. Setting out of building involves the transfer of measurements on plan onto the ground during the preliminary stages of construction. In doing this, the following procedures were used;

• We established the center line or construction line of the building. This was done by aligning the front of the proposed building to adjacent existing buildings which is at 20Ft (6m) distance from the fence parallel to the access road in adherence to Federal Capital Development’s specification.

• From this base line, other four edges of the building were then set out using plastic meter rule for measurement, and builder’s square to make sure the angle between two lines are truly perpendicular.

• These points were offset backwards by 1m. These offset was to ensure availability of adequate working space for the building during excavation/carting away.

• Nails were place on top of these offset pegs and builder line was used to connect these pegs round the proposed building area.

• At interval of 2.0m, pegs were placed in between two adjacent edges.

• Profile board of soft wood was used to connect the pegs round the proposed building area.

• The measurements on the structural layout of the foundation plan with respect to corresponding grid were then transferred to the profile board. The information includes the center line, width of the block wall and width of the foundation.

Finally, the setting out was checked and necessary correction were made prior to commencement of the foundation excavation work.

NOTE. Depth of excavation: 600mm
Width of excavation: 675mm

What is the total space in feet the building itself is taking. Will there be parking space in the compound given how small the plot of land is?

Total Land Area: 4216ft2

Area covered by the Main Building: 1500ft2

Area covered by the Gate House: 150ft2

Yes, there's enough space for cars to park. At least 6 cars will park conveniently.

Stage 2. CASTING OF FOUNDATION (Blinding).

Foundation; an important part of a building component, play a key role in ensuring the functional operation of a building structure by transferring building loads or weight of individual columns to the earth.   

 
Type of Foundation:  Considering that the Soil bearing capacity (bearing pressure that can be imposed without causing excessive settlement) of the site and its relative environ is above 150KN/M2, a Strip type of foundation is appropriate.

Depth of cast: 4” (100mm)

Width of cast:  675mm

Materials/Expenditures

Cement: 22 Bags,

Sharp Sand: about 5 tonnes,

Granite: about 10 tonnes

Water: 2,000Ltrs,

Labour for Casting: ₦25,000

Mix ratio: 1:3:6

Steel bars for column reinforcement (starter bars): Y12mm, 6 lengths


 

Stage 3. Block work for sub-structure.  


Type of Block: Machine moulded sancrete blocks.

Size of Block: 450 x 225 x 225mm (9”)

Number of blocks: 1,000

Cement: 27 Bags

Sharp sand: 10 tonnes

Water: 3,000ltrs

Stage 4. Filling and Compaction.

Soil compaction is a vital part of the construction process. It is used for support of structural entities such as building foundations, roadways, walkways, and earth retaining structures to name a few. In general, the pre selected soil should have adequate strength, be relatively in-compressible so that future settlement is not significant, be stable against volume change as water content or other factors vary, be durable and safe against deterioration.

Materials/Expenditures

Laterite 12 Tyres : 4 loads.
