Aventures: the proposed internal fencing to create privacy for the main bldg

So, there is no linkage between the two Flats at all? I would have put another iron door on the fence by the main buidling where the car is park in front..

we intend to use Glass block around that area, but i am having a second thought we might consider burglary cos of ventilation.

My point is that, if the owner is not around and the guy in the 2 bedrooms is supposed to be taking-care of the house
how is he gonna know what is going on unless he actually and physically goes to open the front gate to check.. I don't
think I like that.. there should access to two the flats internally without going out of one to the other.
Even the glass block may not be well visible to see what is going on in the main flat. But for total privacy, your option is the better one..
Think about it more.

The cost is not bad.. but this does not include Filling with Latrite sand yet, right?
What will be the cost of filling the foundation? Thanks.

Yes the laterite filling sand not inclusive yet. We are budgeting about 15 trips of 10 tons of laterite which is being currently sold btw 11K and 12K in Ikorodu. Soonest we are doing this, once the client is ready.

I can see that there are no pillars used for this building, correct me if am wrong.

olubuffett: I can see that there are no pillars used for this building, correct me if am wrong.

I guess because it's a bungalow. Some people don't use pillars.
In my Mens Quarters, I did not have any pillars instead I used 9inches block all around the house
and used 6inches for the inside partitions. And I have no intentions of raising it to Duplex in future.

Aventures My OGA @ THE TOP this budget is not bad DPC or foundation as you guys call it oh. Can these method or style be translate to other type of buildings that is not bungalow. I have this crazy Idea, with these your methods is it possible to lay beams on all around the foundation and pillars before casting to hold the load of the building without Germany floor on a dry or solid land.

good

Very possible. As a matter of fact, I am doing my personal project like this and it is a Duplex.
....over to u Aventures

@olubuffet this is just a bungallow and we do not have the intention of raising it, the foundation is filled solid and we are using 9 inches block externally and some critical wall internally. The lintel will be a ring beam. this is just adequate fro bungalow.
@Kopell Yes segcymore is right, and it is even the best where you have the height of your foundation block is more than five courses.

Aventures,Segcymore. Thanks you guys, I thought it was an crazy Idea. I always think of doing something different form what other do. I love to support creative Ideals. With these method and german floor, which of them is more economic viable in term of value and durability, or cost effective. My ideal is to get maximum quality at minimum
Cost without compromising safety. I 'll love to hear from professional guys like you.

I assume u are building on dry land like myself. The beauty of this idea is that the more ur filling stay without Germany floor the better compacting and stronger ur floor.so u may adopt this method by just fill and do German floor later

Nice job!

Exactly what we planned to do here in the next phase of work, we are diging up the septic tank and soak away and we will use it to fill the foundation buy some more and spread it to the level, as works goes on it exposed to weather for natural compaction which is the beast.

Sagewood: Nice job!

Thanks

Good Job Bro!

We had a little break after completing th foundation block and the capping. Work commenced recently with the foundation in filling, excavation of septic tank, and superstructure block setting.
The pictures speaks:

1 Excavated septic tank and soak away
2. Foundation filled with im[ported laterite sand and the excavated sand from septic tank.
3. Block setting commenced: laid on the capping on top of the foundation block
4. More view of Block setting ongoing.

Block work raised to lintel level all round as at of today, more pix later, we sre alredy gathering momentum for lintel work to roof level. May God help us..
