To get water will only take him some feet's to get, just at the front.

We already dig borehole but the area is full of some pilfere, you won't believe they can to cut the pipe believing there is machine inside .
We just mounting perimeter fence now. Thank you sir

mufutau55:


Ah! Ok. If the distance to fetch the water is not that far, the he should surely do it. But may be he does not want anything to hold-up his work or add any un-necessary hardship to his daily work.
But still advise your brother about borehole, so he can save some money. Thank you.

To get water on our site its just some feet's away(very close)

EgunMogaji2:


It's on a case by case basis.

I am about six plots away from a river (uphill) and my current bricklayer has never brought up the issue of water. I noticed that it is slowing them down so I will be buying a gasoline powered pump to get water to them starting tomorrow as we're gearing up to do a build.

3million naira? Hell no!
Pls try do a good work because the price for correction is going to be more expensive than cost to do standard work at initial stage, God will provide for you

n9jaboy:
Hello all,
I'do appreciate you can help take a look at my 3 bedroom floor plan for criticism/recommendation. While i am yet to conclude this plan and get BOQ (out of curiosity-can 3M build this + roofing)? your input will be appreciated. Thanks

Yes o

EgunMogaji2:


Of course Sir. It’s the way things are.

These high development cost is why I prefer to cuddle Ibadan

I think this is sepage(capillary), probably you didn't use dpm

Pascopele:
I think you quoted the wrong person.

Meanwhile, here is the picture of my own problem. Please help me. What can I do to remedy this situation ASAP!

Wedone sir, more fund to your acct

EgunMogaji2:


From pic 1 to pic 2 is over N1M and I’m not done yet.

Still have to do:

Painting and Toilet Equipments.

Greetings

It has been a long time here

mufutau55:


Yes. You can surely use sand dug from your soak-away to fill your foundation.
No problem, that is what everybody uses it for, and just add laterite from other place to it.

Hajji M.

Thank you sir

Thanks. I appreciate

rotecch77:


So far the sand is laterite or sandy soil you can use it.
The standard oversite concrete slab is 150mm but 100mm is very good also but make sure you use good ratio for the concrete.
Also Make sure you filled the foundation in stage with enough water and well compacted.

OK.. Thank you sir

Beframia:


My candid advice is for you to start with what you have as there is no better time to start other than now. I started something about two weeks ago (a 4 bed flat, all ensuite) and you will be amazed at what I was able to achieve with a little over 1M. Although, the major factor that determines level of achievement is location, I stay in the north where the soil is stable to a great extent and labour cost is relatively cheap as well as cost of building materials.
Furthermore, make the property section of NL your building Bible (especially this thread)as you stand to gain a lot from experienced professionals that abound on the forum - they are always ready to help and I pray that God bless them all.
I've had instances that my building contractor would want to cut corners but the experiences I've gained so far helped me out.
Another point to note is, during the course of building, don't add too many unnecessary extras that are outside the original plan as this will help you to save cost.
My bros, Start with what you have!

Thanks for the input. I did learn alot from this section, especially how to tackle damp/wet wall...DPM/DPC. It's a major issue in Abuja and surroundings. My plot is located in Nasarawa State. I will definitely create a trend and tag the gurus in this section along (please kindly share pictures of your project, if you don't mind) Thanks

kenazuu:


Bros nor go there. 3M for 3bedroom flat? Do not be deceived ooooo. Just take your time small small. No rushing ooooo.

2. Granite or gravel
3. Sand
4. Cement
5. Pillars if needed (rod)
6. Setting and digging of foundation
7. Setting of blocks
8. Cost of labour
9. Omo onile if na you yoruba land
10. Water
11. Lintel stage and so on.

Hope this go guide us small.

Project lost
No project was lost. The project do not have a dedicated page. It was a thread on another major project.

Hello Oga Brabus. I know you are lurking here somewhere. Well, lost or not.. that was not the original thread. May be you can point us in the right direction to the original thread. Thank you.

Hajji M.

That last sentence make me smile ,"It’s amazing how you manage to get anything done"

EgunMogaji2:


Thank you my Brother.

I thank you guys that kept a country going for us to return to. I continue to respect all of you entrepreneurs in Nigeria. It’s amazing how you manage to get anything done.

Please do not do any business with hsl-broker. He's a fraud and scammer. Took #3m of my money to deliver various building materials for me. It's almost a month now and nothing has been delivered. One excuse after another. Told me his father passed away. I gave him time to mourn his dad. Even why preparing for the burial, I begged him to have the materials ready that my contractor would pick them up. Just tell us where they are. He refused. If he had a legit business, he could have called his distributors and have them get the materials ready for us to pick them up without him being there. He said nothing can be done in his absence. I never thought I would experience this on nairaland. Deliver my materials is an issue, refund my money is an issue too. Roofing woodwork was done, but no roofing sheets. Now the rain has washed off the anti-termite treatment.

Hslbroker should come and defend himself.
When did HSLBROKER become a scammer.

Hajji lurking again

The project is on the last few pages of The Chateau in Ile Oluji

One of your favorite thread back then.

mufutau55:


Exactly what I can see, the concrete mix ratio is ver my low. Look, you can hardly see any cement/granite mix but sand. And looks like filling was not well compacted either.
Look at the picture #2 for the lousy mix-ratio.

Please house,
Can someone help me to identify the square meter for this roof?
Thank you.

You can see what is happening!

Pascopele:
it's a storey building. Finished. The problem is occurring in the room
Pics 1 is the bathroom directly opposite the master bedroom on the right side of the picture

Pics 2 is the master bedroom where the problem am facing.

Pics 3 is upstairs close to the roofing.

No1... Check your toilet pipes for leakages.
No2... Is this a parapheted storey building?
