Stevo30:
What is the type of foundation called? I have seen some pre-independence buildings with this type of foundation. Most building in the former 2 division army Barack in Agodi, Ibadan has this type of foundation. Infact children use to play under it. Why is it not favoured by builders now?

It’s not the builders job to determine the foundation type nor the owner’s decision. The decision is beyond both.


We did this sometimes ago

Well I will just summarise it for you. My advice to you and any one doing any building project is to never be ashamed or shy to price down the cost of a material to your favour especially when you feel the price is way too high. My foundation is a 3 bedroom flat at the front and a room and parlour self con at the back.

Even the people I buy building materials have known me for always dragging prices with them and jokingly call me "alaroro customer or ijebu man" even though I'm igbo. Well I can't blame them, I no get much and my project na just the grace of God and na Kobo Kobo.

This is the prices I bought my materials and the amount i paid for workmanship. Bear it in my mind that I'm building in a waterlogged or swap area so my foundation has to be piled and a basement has to be constructed before the raft so that my house doesn't sink.

All this estimate was done within the month of December 2020 to present. For the piling, 20 piles were done. Initially those doing the piling charge me #3000 per piling though it could be more than than but as they saw say I no too get, them gave me that price. Even at that I priced the piling to #2500 per pile. That is. #2500 times 20 piles.

For the material used. I bought 2 small tipper of concrete for #40000 each per trip, 2 small tipper of sharpsand for #17500 each per trip. As advised by someone in the forum, I bought 30 10mm, 30 12mm and 10 16mm rods. But I will suggest to those who will do their project to instead used only 12mm rod and 8mm rods in order to lower the cost spent on rods. As for cement I bought 15 bags for the piling and basement. 7 bags was used for the piling, 8 bags was used for the basement. Each bag was sold to me for #3500 . I tried my possible best to beat down the price of cement but e no work.

For the labour work, I used cheap labour. That's is aboki to do the mixing of cement and carrying it to fill the piling and basement while the engineer supervised them and tell them where to pour it. I paid the aboki a range of #2500 to #3000 depending on the number of them doing the labour work.

For the iron bender, I paid him 15k total for bending the rods for the piliing. Mehn, it was the engineer that helped me beat down the price and advised I opt for daily pay so that it can be easier for me. While for the basement I paid the iron bender 10k total. Initially the iron bender was asking for 25k for the basement (i.e 1k per base) but I no get that kind money to spend for bending iron for basement.

All my materials was exhausted for the piling and basement except for my concrete that remained like quarter trip and sharp sand remained like half trip, iron rods finished.

So I had to buy half tonne of 12mm and quarter tonne of 8mm with half bundle of binding wire for the raft

I called carpenter that will bring him own wood to construct the raft for me and carry back him wood once the raft has been casted, he charged me #120,000 but God knows say I don't have that money to pay him. With the help of my mom she beat down the price to #40,000. Trust women, they can do magic for you sometimes. The iron bender was asking for 40k but I was able to beat down the price to 20k.

I would like to give feedback on my transaction with mountmoriah regarding the woods i bought from him yesterday. I saw his post here on nairaland that he is into wood business, lo and behold his post came at the right time that i needed to make a final decision on who to supply me my decking woods. I contacted him via whatsapp and he responded within a seconds and we finalised the deal within 30 miunutes. I linked him with my Engr. for further discussions and both agreed to go on with supply within 5 minutes. Mountmoriah supplied my Engr with 1by12(600 pieces) and 2by3(300 pieces) the following day, the woods are very good and very complete. Mountmoriah has been one of the best supplier (if not best) in term of responds to customers and sticking to agreement. Please kindly patronize him for your wood supply

Amen . Roofing is another tough area . The money involved is like that of foundation. So finding a way to reduce cost is key as per kobo kobo project .

Can you share clearing details in Nigeria.

I've been disappointed by my agent.
Since March, 2020, all switches, DB, sockets are yet to be cleared.

The Nigerian Customs seized the containers over 6 of them the guy shipped from China, but not saying the truth if he imported contraband.

I need alternative.

He gave me ₦100,000 per CBM

They're selling at 3100 everywhere right now. Price may not likely go back to old price. We may be looking at 2900 - 2950
