Vibrated blocks are stronger because there are no air pockets.

Joygalore:
Nice thread.I am following.
I just finished building a twin 2 bedroom flat and intend building 8 mini flats for rent.I felt I was cheated when I built the twin 2 bedroom flat.
I was told to budget 10m for the 8 mini flats
Thanks Op

abouzaid:
where are you building it?we can handle your job with all honesty, we're currently a block of twelve flats in anambra state, i would launch the thread hopefully by next week.

akeensbussy:
Don't let anybody deceive you here, you can actually build a low cost house.. and some people believe is not possible.

This is my second project since last year.

Don't be afraid to start your own house..it is not as hard as people make u believe.

Start doing it little by little, stage by state and always monitor your project yourself if possible.

anochuks08:
No, he meant something like this

ndosorry:




Pls is this plan on half or full plot? It looks good

anochuks08:
full plot, but I ve another 4 bedroom plan on half plot

Bhugarious:
Well done sir and congratulations,
I need to ask if the construction cost of N249k + Lintel cost of N63, 800 aside Blocks moulding cost were all you paid to raise this building to roofing stage as shown on pics?

Earnestly following the thread.

opal4real:
Nice one.

The lintel is not all round unless you are posting a different pix.

Also German floor is advisable whether dry or not. I'm having issues with my tenants because I bought a house that was built without a German floor and it's on dry land but the walls keeps peeling and cracking despite all effort. I keep renovating before a new tenant moves in and I've left it vacant for 6 months now until I get a permanent solution or probably resell it.

abouzaid:
nwanna, are you an architect?

akeensbussy:




pictures plz

anochuks08:
full plot, but I ve another 4 bedroom plan on half plot

abouzaid:
your major problem is that you did not use a damp proof membrane, it's a polyethylene like water proof material spread on the foundation after compaction. i consider that more important than a German floor in preventing dampness.

GreatManBee:


Hi I'm currently at the foundation level in my project. Can you help shed more light on the damp proof membrane and the German floor? I'm a novice.

kayzat:





seriously will love to see that

anochuks08:
Though a lot of modifications have been done on the final design, but this is what it looks like.

kayzat:





Very good one but you can't use this one Op's kind of land. This can only sit on 60*60 and not 30*120 half plot.



correct me if I'm wrong sir.

anochuks08:
That design was designed on half plot (15*15) and the building size is (13*13)

Kieldgreat:


Yeah.
