joycluv:
Like how many feet should be normal for that size?

Chekitaut:
Thanks you identify the difference after use, that is what i have being doing over a decade, quantity as demand, no compromising, am not perfect, is not on Quantity, but logistics, the condition of road, trucks of 1980 still ply our road, i am trying to adjust with demand, i do it myself i will not want to be rub in the mud anymore.

ChiefSupplier55:
As we all know this what I market

Chekitaut:
You correct, what scared me most is N5m. i am only trying to throw light possible where & how the rip off went. She may not be aware of it.

Enyinne:
Hummmm , no ripe off yet,my bro inlaw who happens to be a builder is helping supplying me with quote as he doesn't know the engineer ,my foundation is 5 to 6 planks with double strip type of foundation,i bought my materials by myself Tmt for 238k per ton and cement 2550, and i still hv material left enough to do dpc even though i will be buying filling sand and pay workmanship. Site in question is 10mins from my residence so am always on ground for the past 2weeks to follow up daily.

Muyi002:


Hajji,
What is wrong with passing 16ft? because I am considering either 18 or 20 o.

E joor enlighten me.

megacontrol:
Nice detailing of your foundation.

If you dont mind, can you state roughly how much it cost you?

Chekitaut:

Enyinne:
The house is a fairly water logged area ,3 *2bedroom and 1 *3bedroom making a total of 4flats . With the material on ground ,foundation to dpc will cost me 6.5m including 117 ft raft fence i did from the material bought .My Foundation height is quite high as this raining season opened the engineer eyes to the issue of water level already affecting the residents around that vicinity.5 and half planks with no dpc yet with first underlying foundation done before the second one put on it . , note that i bought alot of wood for the foundation cos of the pattern but i will reuse it for the decking to minimize cost . I guess after the decking i will know my exact cost of foundation to decking and possibly use the wood for the parapet . The wood will regret ever meeting me.

topsy23:


I can recommend transformer for you if you send me plan of the estate. Total load of each building, street, etc will be added to get the size of transformer. Also is there high tension line closer to the estate (I mean 11KV or 33KV). All these information is needed

Chekitaut:
100kva transformer

rotecch77:


Nice one there is a way to do simple design/construction to safe cost, but some others factors still contributed to some structure cost.

I did same but my is 7 BEDROOMS for a CLIENT

coldcandy:

Thank you Chekit.
One phcn staff said 50kva is ok but I was wondering based on what?

coldcandy:
Ok.
Seems the substructure was completely cast. No block work.

diordaves:


Enyinne, abeg no vex o. How much is two and one bedroom flats in this area? No go, no go, you will spend close to 10 million for ground work and foundation alone. So how much would the final article generate?

No mind me o, I just want to get my head around that 10 million just for groundwork/foundation. The thing dey do me one kind like say na my money. The Lord is your strength.

Enyinne:
Completely cast to height of 5 and half plank and its white like Julius berger concrete slab .

Enyinne:
I dont really know about 1bedroom but standard full finished 2bedroom is like 800k and 3 bedroom like 1.2m . Building is an asset depending on location and land value,it will generate funds for a long time to come,if u spend 20m for 4 flats generating upto 3.5m to 4m yearly is not a bad deal and remember u still have ur building after many years ,well appreciated and can still sell for a good price then

yinkaoke:
In addition l chatted with a contractor yesterday on how to get a good plaster outlook with those ugly cracks and mention the below three factors are important:
1. Cement, he said l should use elephant because it has less chemical and will allow gradual solidity
2. Whether, he said cold whether is best compaired to intense whether that hurriedly dry up
3. Type of plaster sand: he recommended one w less sticky or with less gum or best still l use only sharp sand.

He emphasize that using only sharp sand as against mixing with plaster sand is best.

Please great engineer how true is this before l recommend to my bricklayer?
