It's not about changing the size of the reinforcements bars but the load the columns will be expected to support. The size and numbers of rebars provided for each column is a function of the load and area.

You need to let us know the numbers of floor that will be supported by the column as well as the distance between each columns.
This can be determined from the structural layout of each floor and roof.

You should also seek the services of a structural engineer for an on-site assessment.

Safety first.


D total structure is length is 30 by 50 and the there are 16 (sixteen) columns in total. The space in between them are likely to be 10 feet maximum to the next column. As for the numbers of floors, it's just a storey building.
Currently, we did 5feets for the foundation and the total foundation casted is 3feet while the remaining 2feets are visible above the foundation for continuation. The sizes between rebars should be close to 12inch nd I was told to return it to 250mm henceforth. The column itself are all 9" inches wide.

Image attached below.

Thanks in anticipation of ur response

Is this the foundation column cos I don't understand this picture..

Can you show the full picture with other building elements?

And if you can share the structural floor layout of the foundation and the first floor it might help too.


If you are at the foundation stage., then you can chisel /break the concrete cast to add the 16mm rods.

It's not bad to ask questions.

But I feel since you're a QS, you can easily get those data from QS forums rather than asking on this public forum.

You don't pay road tax because for bought your car brand new? Really? So road tax is for the poor people of the UK then who are unfortunate to by second hand cars. Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) - also known as road tax, car tax, or the road fund licence - can be a confusing topic to understand.

If you're buying a new car, you will pay road tax based on the latest system that was introduced on 1 April 2017, and most recently adjusted for April 2022 onwards. If you are buying a used car that was registered before April 2017, then the rate you pay will be based on the system that applied at the time of registration, even if the car is still in production.
https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-exempt-from-vehicle-tax

You better call DVLA (Licencing authority) now to send you your road tax invoice or one day you go wake up them don clamp your car. If you bought a brand new car, you may not pay road tax for one year that is because the car company has paid it for you as part of their sales gimmick not that new car owners don't pay road tax. Where is that done? We the poor people that can't afford new car for done halla. After one year, you carry your kaya and start paying road tax by yourself.

The discussion is about Nigeria tax base as it applies to the housing sector and you said Nigeria has a broader tax base than the UK. This is screamingly so inaccurate. Let's leave road tax, petrol tax and the rest and focus the discussion on the housing sector.

Does Nigeria operate and implement the below listed:

CAPITAL (PROPERTY) GAIN TAX - for the home base, Property gain tax is simply if you sell a property that is not your main residence and make a profit, you will pay tax on the profit and you will pay income tax and you will pay VAT. Nigeria know weather you sell property? not to talk of collecting gain tax.
https://www.gov.uk/capital-gains-tax/rates#:~:text=28%25%20on%20your%20gains%20from,gains%20from%20other%20chargeable%20assets

INHERITANCE TAX - again for the home base, here in the UK, if you inherit a property from your parents that is above a certain amount, you will pay inheritance tax. This tax is so huge that some kids will sell the property in order to pay the inheritance tax. Some children to avoid the tax will sell the property while the parent is alive and put the parent in a care home and use the money to pay for care. It is that serious. Nigeria get inheritance tax. Not that I know of.
https://www.gov.uk/inheritance-tax

STAMP DUTY LAND TAX - You must pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) if you buy a property or land over a certain price in England and Northern Ireland. For the home base, you pay the tax when you:

#buy a freehold property

#buy a new or existing leasehold

#buy a property through a shared ownership scheme

#are transferred land or property in exchange for payment, for example you take on a mortgage or buy a share in a house.
https://www.gov.uk/stamp-duty-land-tax

I'm not sure you understand or grasp the extensive tax regime system in the UK. So you think the UK is about the 5th biggest economy in the world partly only form income tax collection and VAT? I shake my head in Urhobo.

Any which way you turn in the UK, you pay tax if not directly then indirectly.
Do you know how to check for a car.s road tax fee,ULEZ and congestion charge with thier Number plate??

[Good day, I see we are talking about columns only what about the foundation mat. By Rule of thumb 4 nos of 16mm is required for a starter bars but don't be surprised a proper design may show you that some columns can use 12mm sufficiently. What I see here is that there is no prior structural design in this project you are building on what people say and do within that vicinity. My piece of advice pause the project engage a good structural engineer and use the out put of the design for corrections. And ensure you go for TMT Brand of reinforcement at the least.quote author=Akerewe post=114625232]

D total structure is length is 30 by 50 and the there are 16 (sixteen) columns in total. The space in between them are likely to be 10 feet maximum to the next column. As for the numbers of floors, it's just a storey building.
Currently, we did 5feets for the foundation and the total foundation casted is 3feet while the remaining 2feets are visible above the foundation for continuation. The sizes between rebars should be close to 12inch nd I was told to return it to 250mm henceforth. The column itself are all 9" inches wide.
