Dude you are too druggz, you have taken a building and made it a contemporary sculptural piece. Outstanding signature, soon they will start copying you.
The dude is good... he could make you want to build a house if you were initially refusing....to.

@babaeko1, First thing First, the Number of boards for the foundation is 5. which makes it a 1.5m High Foundation. Plus the German floor is 1.6m. Now, before we ever commenced Filling on this soil, we did a soil test which indicated that the soil property contained less than 0.3m high clay soil on the top layer, and sharp sand beneath. which means the bad soil is very minimal and not signification to affecting our foundation. but we had to fill up due to the fact that it was water logged on top of our soil, thus enabling us to work. Now, our total high of filling used was just 0.9m to 1m high. which means even if the building had to magically dig through the filling, we still have about 0.3m to 0.4m above the ground. but the building can't dig through because we had specifically chosen the sand to be white beach sand to be filled to the level of the water. Now note something about the beach filling sand that makes it different from the red filling, is that because of its more stone sandy and less dusty components, it settles into water in less than 48hrs, the loosed part you saw in pics are the extra filling that are above water level. underneath those loosed once are very strong and well compacted white sand.

Furthermore, if you notice the foot of our foundation was wider than the remaining part, this is to further reduce the settling levels. as a result, we have made a foundation hight of 1.6m height to fit into a 1.2m floor requirement (giving us an extra 0.4m), and has put it onto a floor sand filled with sharp sand on water and wider foot foundation. All this factors individually is ok for our building, talk less of having them all together.

Feel free to further more questions

Thanks for answering the first part of my question, do you have any answers for the second part of my question as per engineer and who independently checks the integrity of the building ?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Dezyns and Structure is a team of building personel. From architects to structural engineers, and quantity surveyors, electrical and mechanical engineers. Professional craft men, tilers, masons, plumbers, carpenter, any aspect of a house, our team is complete. So we have our structural engineers available all the time if you need.

More over, yours truly, "SKIMANSKI" is a graduate of Architecture and building technology. Hence the reason why I am bold enough to attempt various kind of designs. The best is yet to come anyway.

Even as we build we endeavour to consult the attendance of Lagos state building team to test the integrity of building as you can see on pics.

Also in pics you can see the foundation base of our building is still very visible and hasn't settled a bit from its maiden point despite having built our house to the point we wish to build to. So oga, when you need, professionalism, in building which includes creativity and efficiency, kindly contact Dezyns and Structures Ltd.
