From little experience, absolutely NO. 12mm has to be used with 10mm as rings.

In fact, if it is a gutter that you are going to constantly have large vehicles climbing on it on daily basis, you are going to need rod with strength higher than 12mm.

All the design elements are present

Decking, cantilever, ring beam, etc

I forgot pillars lol

It's soak away time.

I'm trying to get an idea of costs in Ibadan.

If you've recently paid for one please do share.

Against my better judgement I think I'm going to let limited and agreed upon jobs continue in my absence.

please how much did you buy the 3.5mm wire mesh

Been a while I bought these things by myself. Its not so expensive.. About 7k per bundle or so.

about what quantity would do for a building measuring 41 feet by 43 as anti crack reinforcement for the oversite concrete bed.

abouzaid:

I haven't bought it yet but priced it to N8.5k, I intend to push it lower when I actually buy.

Each bundle/roll is 420 sq ft (60 X 7) feet.

Buy 3.5 - 4 bundles
If you buy 4, you'd have left overs.

thanks a million.

Good morning everyone...please I need the professionals in the house to please give me a detailed analysis for the cost of this building...

1. From foundation to Deck level only, I want to do it slow and steady... thanks to u all for enlightening a lot of us through this thread

about 10 - 13k for a mesh of 1.8m x 25m

abouzaid:

41 X 43 = 1,763 sq ft divided by 420 square feet = 4.20 rolls. So you'll buy 5 with lots and lots of left overs.

that should be 12.3m ( 41ft) x 12.9 ( 43ft)
with a with of 1.8 m along 12.3m you will get aprx. 7nr
with length of 25m along 12.9m you will get 2nr

you will need about 7/2 = 31/2
At the cost of 13k/nr = N45,500.

other alternative is using Y8mm bar, spacing it 350mm c/c


along 12.3m ( 12.3/0.35 = 35nr @ N600/nr = N21,000)
along 12.9m ( 12.9/0.35 = 37br @ N600/nr = N22,200)

Binding wire ( N2,000)
TOTAL = N45,200

OPTION B IS STRONGER AND BETTER

It will be wiser to do a structural design considering the drainage side as a retaining wall with vehicle movement around it and open channels flow ( during wet season)
It will be better and safe more cost since accurate concrete sections and reinforcement will be provided

Guys

Quick questions

Anyone know good reputable somebody to supply wood for roofing, akun or itara is preferred ?

Anyone can recommend good pipes for plumbing project for 7 flats. I cannot afford imported but I have heard of the Tiger brand and was wondering if that was the best local brand.

For 7 flats, 6 flats and a pent. How many tanks would be ideal to have for the building on a tank tower. 2,3 or 4.

For a rental building, is it better to have burglary built into window casement or separate that you can see. One has to consider the nija factor and also the fact that it's a 2 bed flat and most likely young people who like to see fancy things.

Lastly. Can one use construction reinforcement bars to do burglary. I may have some left overs.

is this supposed to be a block of flats or what exactly? do you realise that the only way you can access the staircase is from the lobby in the middle of the house? i also don't like the sacrificing of cross ventilation for an outside visitors toilet
