Or just a storey building having 4 Bed rooms with a living room for the whole building that can be occupied by just a single family?

Yes. Your line above is what a 4 Bedroom Duplex means.

From my little understanding,a duplex is a story building comprising 2,3,or 4Bed Rooms depending on the taste of the owner of the said building.Please note that,a duplex must be a story building comprising a combination of rooms,sitting room,wash room etc on ground floor and upper floor areas.In other words,the occupier or owner of a duplex do not share or have any business with a tenant within the ground floor and upper floor area that he occupies.Finally,a house built as a bungalow regardless of the no of rooms or how big it is,can never be considered as a duplex.The entrance and exits doors to a duplex house can't be shared with another occupier.Experienced professionals in the house,kindly throw more light on this issue.Thanks

I now understand it with ur simple and concised explanation.
Thanks alot

I will continue the fight, even as it is so difficult. Ask to come to site with complete safety gears and they may never come tomorrow. Buy and share to them and many will intentionally sell, destroy or lose theirs because they think it's too heavy or cumbersome. It's a continuous fight.
Get them to change into them on site and leave them on site at the end of the day.

This is a good suggestion, and I will try it tomorrow, starting with hand gloves. We shall see how it goes later. cheesy

We have been busy in the last couple of days, wetting this filled foundation with lots of water pumped into it to sink it.

Re: The Making Of The Port Harcourt "Duplex + 4 Flats" by spyder880(m): 9:46am On May 12, 2015
It has been achieving the desired results as all the sand poured into the foundation are sinking lower.......

Soil compaction technology in use at the duplex side as we conclude arrangements for the casting with concrete.

Re: The Making Of The Port Harcourt "Duplex + 4 Flats" by spyder880(m): 6:25pm On May 13, 2015
We'll walk over every inch of the floor, stamping the soil into the ground for a more stable foundation.

My oga pls can you link me with ur soil compactor operator. I will need his services next week in PH too(Ada George side).

Also in a water log area will you advice one use sharp sand or laterite for foundation filling? Which is the best?

God has used you tremendously to push some1 like me to start something, which i plan to share soon here with the house.

Thanks.

I dont have a different worker operating the compactor. I just hire the compactor and one of my workers can operate it all day long. You will find compactors in everywhere construction materials are hired.
