Good morning to you all, pls I need help.
My brother bought a land(waterlog), there is a raft foundation on the land, 12mm iron rod was used for column(puller) in the foundation but my brother intend to build a story building with the foundation met on the site.

My question now is;
1.should we continue with the 12mm iron rod for the column? If No, how can we introduce 16mm iron rod to the foundation?
2. Secondly, the foundation plan we met on the site is not the structure we want to build on it. Should we just do monolithic floor and use our own plan on it?

Cc: engineers and experience builder. Thanks in anticipation

This roofing woodwork is less than 1 million naira (materials and labour inclusive).

The project is ongoing for those who want to see. It was being roofed by Tilcor

I didn’t even enter bush to buy wood. I bought premium price from the nearest sawmill.

Total Coverage: 520sqm

I really love your work and business acumen. Keep it up bro! Your big job is coming.

On this particular job, the local welder got the upper hand with his pricing and nearness to the site. He’ll be mobilized this morning.

How much per linear metre is the sidestep below? I really wish you would handle this job but the other guy too na my gee �

Thanks for your understanding bro.

for you to appreciate my works is enough for me at this point. And the price for the rails is 65,000 per meter depending on your customization.

I'm happy for you my brother. I still believe there are people with integrity on this forum, despite my unfortunate experience with that fraudster called hsl-broker. He's now claiming he was kidnapped. First his dad died, then COVID19, after that he was in the hospital, now he was kidnapped.
I'm not in a hurry to go after him now. My money with him is now yielding interest daily. Dead or alive, I will get my money back with interest. He can bet on that

You must be new here.

Hslbroker has a bad reputation from a few years
back.

I guess he added new "formats" to his scam.

you know there's always a room for negotiation. And this is a new product in the market so importers are making a kill until it becomes rampant. Why not contact us so we can reach a favorable place for us both.

This is one area I have issues. I don’t know how to negotiate. Just give me most reasonable pricing and let me know if there are any other things that makes your job different.

Two of my close friends lost a bid on my ongoing project because of pricing. One wanted to do plastering for 1.8m and the person who got the job charged 800k.

I don't about plastering business but when it comes to my work, you will have to negotiate. Someone might want same thing as you but with less customization and his choice of materials less. Meanwhile someone else will be willing to go all out to get the best.

So how I run my business is to play out all the scenario and customization which are possible and then let you choose. But whatever thing you choose is EXACTLY what I will use

Number of 16mm depends on number of columns but 100pcs is too much. Use estimate of 1 length of 16mm per column starter. The 12mm too may be too much. Do 1 basket and multiply by the number of columns. You have to be on ground!
Pls use only 9 inch blocks for the foundation.
Post the structural drawing for better advice.

Thanks for your input sir,
The staircase was later reduced to 1800mm on the final plan sir, tho initially I intend on leaving the store without a door, but on second thought I think I'll need to place one where you highlighted, during the building process, or what do you think? sad

Below is a picture of the final plan

GREAT - just relocate the store door and perfect it is.
Thanks...

Either VT or pantry should be under those stairs.

1stly Congratulations. But you should consider that mistakes or improper application of material, idea or skill (unprofessional ) in building construction is a trap or conspiracy against yourself the owner. OK?

1. Pls consult any good structural engineer around you for a proper inspection on the existing foundation and the right materials needed. You can consult 2 or 3 of them.

2. If the structural engineer is positive about building on the existing foundation get an architect to see your dream house you wish to build then he will know the best way of designing the existing foundation to suit what you want to build if not he or she will advice otherwise.

It's always cheaper to hire professionals.

Good morning all,

Please I need someone to help me with steps/stages to follow next in my building construction.

To the glory of God, we've completed the roofing and also concluded the piping for the plumbing and electrical works. I suppose plastering should follow next.

Since I'm overseeing the rest of the project myself, I need to know what what other tasks should follow sequentially until the house is fit to live in.
