Gud afternoon Sir,pls is it advisable to build a Soakaway/septic tank at the front of ones house that car can drive or park on top.My builder advice me to do it but am not too comfortable with it. Ur opinion will be appreciated... tanjs





It can be built in front of the house with a good reinforcement and quality casting such that heavy duty vehicles can run or park on it. Its usually last option

However, if there is no cogent reasons Eg: lack of space or water logged land Etc. I advice you avoid it, because it's cost intensive.

The septic tank is getting tougher every day yet not up to 8ft and we aim 14ft , the excavators advice we should dump some water in there, in view to soften the land. It was funny but I later bought the idea to see what the outcome will be like. After the exercise the ground seem harder grin

Please what was the cost of labour for the electrical cost of this building.

A family member received a quote for 350,000 for a buglaow with a penthouse.6 rooms total and they priced 350,000. Originally 450,000. I feel like that is too expensive. It’s for conduit wiring. And this labour cost doesn’t include wiring oo. Just the piping and fittings

dubemcapital:



Yes the labour is for, cast workers, masons, carpenters Iron workers is 235,000 +50,000 for electrician and plumber (As at that stage not for the whole project)


That is just the labour no need to make up what is not (my belief anyway)


Please I will communicate the size of the deck soon I need to reconfirm that.

#350,000 ? Well there are some electrical engineering companies that charge higher than that, but I think is for the client to know if that is what he want.



The charge for the electrical work for this project is approximately #150,000 to finishing. ( including thunder arresting installation and earthing)

The electrical Fittings cost about : #242,000
While the wire (Comet star) cost about : 628,000 (but we have some coils remaining)
Conduit pipe and boxes cost : (can't place it now)

Totaling : #1,020,000 (excluding conduit pipe and boxes)

So far on septic tank.... We stopped at 12ft (dept) because of the Rocky nature of the ground

Re: *** Building on an existing structure a storey Of One Bedroom (4 Flats)*** by dubemcapital(m): 2:31pm On Feb 01, 2018
Looking differently... the house would have been better on 3 colours but we need to carefully consider the untarred dusty road just in front of the house. ( so we are looking for the untarred street road similar colour grin pls bear with us)

Pvc ceiling is on, but not a good idea for a pvc ceiling to be fixed before wall tiles it should be the other way round.

Nice Job. What the cost of the PVC ceiling and the manufacturing.

Thank you

We did plaster Window hood because it's better , hood design are simple but appears Beautiful especially on casement windows. However our considerations are:

*Size of the window hood is 3inches by 6 inches
*Light thickness ( if huge it's likely going to fall over the years)
* At least an inch gap from the window frame
* Immediate cleaning of the window and lubrication for proper opening after work is advised

Nice work on the window hood. How much did they charge per window for the window hood.

Thank you
