What I also like in this part of the world is people working 24 hours even in the dead of night.

I will like to disagree with you Sir.

I completed a 4 bedroom bungalow all ensuite from foundation to turn key (with ties, doors, windows) in 30 days.

The project started Nov 1 and ended Nov 30.

(But before Nov 1, I already purchased all the materials in the BOQ.)

@bold thank u for being honest sir...u already took care of some key logistics...meaning u made some preparations...that was why sir..

spyder880:


I think its possible, we have done a 5 bedroom duplex from foundation till painting level in 3 months flat. DubemCapital was in charge of that project also.

We just started a house in Warri with one of my young engineers, a bungalow with flats attached, fence, floor and finish in just 60 days. Yes we can multi task if the cash is all available.

Have u completed a bungalow within a month in the past sir? What u have here is comparison...

EgunMogaji:


I diasgree.

Different trades can multi-task and push the finish at the same time.

Spyder880, Skimanski, gents if money is on hand and land is not rocky or waterlogged (as seen in the pictures) can you build a 3 bedroom bungalow in 30 days?

Sure u are entitled to your own opinion..many may come here to say it is possible, but when faced with such challenge will not be able to meet up.

dubemcapital:
Septic tank is on now.

Sir what is the size of the septic tank? are u planning on partioning or having two seperate holes? thanks.

Without adequate preparations beforehand, one will end up delivering a shoddy job.

dubemcapital:
Wow, the water sank very few corners. OK, refilling and compacting /casting no time please .....

Nice job
are u proposing concrete fascia for this building? Since your client was able to afford doing a german floor, why didn't u make use of polythene to conceal the sand before casting?

12 length * 6--width * 10ft --dept

Is going to be partioned, It's saves cost.

No concrete fascia design ( parapet) it's a straight roof design bungalow.

Since we have a good high foundation and considering the soil texture of the land. I know polythene Wont be neccessery anymore. That why we didn't use it.

Cool
I asked if u are doing concrete fascia because of the columns, seems u didn't only used it on the edges. You intend doing a roof beam?

Excellent. Preparation is key and what sets men apart from boys. Having materials ready onsite is astute. The countdown starts from breaking ground and stops at key hand over.

There's as such as a construction schedule.

The OP also have blocks already on site.

Very correct and some slabs before the roof as the design demands.

Nice...same size with mine.

The block work so far..

Boarding of lintels and pillars

Lintel cast work, we couldn't travel with our concrete mixer at the moment.

Since is a straight roof bungalow it will not have concrete or wooden fascia board so the block work continues...

Mechanical and some electrical material are already here.

EgunMogaji:


If the project money is on hand, then I think a 3 bedroom bungalow can be completed in a month.

If it can't in today's Nigeria then we need to look at the process.

Sure, but he wish to buy material for the project, that why it may not be possible but we will still do our best to meet the timing.

Pillar formation, this pillar defines the house not going to look like Bq anymore . The size is going to be 700 by 900 is a big one.

We have about 2ft king post for this kind of roof. Its a straight roof.

... See more pics

Neat job i must say
Is there need to do chain lintel if one will also do a roof beam? thanks

Barryton:

Yes please, because lintel is a horizontal member which is placed across openings in building such as doors, windows etc. you can't trust the blocks we have here, so chain your lintel before the roof beam. It helps the building wall not to crack or even slide as the building gets older. It will also serve as a bearing to subsequent blocks which makes the building stronger.

Hi dubem, can I see pictures of the completed roof both woodwork and aluminium. Tnx

Neat job. Am Interested in this straight roof design.

Here is the complete roof and it's simple pattern but if you are not careful one may have alot of linkage in the roof. But for sure is the cheapest roof ever and one of the strongest at that....

The red maker is the sloop on the roof . we have like 3sloops so is not straight as the name implies.

The roof has a gutter which is about 1ft sloppy from the end of the building to the outlet.
