let's say a standard self contain takes 700 blocks, it might not be upto 600blocks

(1) 700 x 250= 175,000

700block÷70 will give you the required number of cement to lay the block= 8bags of cement

(2) 15bags of cement x 4,500= 67,500

(3) you can run half DPC

(4) 1 trip of plaster sand will be enough at 35k

(5) Gravel 1 tipper, there will be leftover 50k or less

(6) iron and wood for lintel and pillars plus workmanship for a self contain budget 60k

Taking a house to lintel level is not quite expensive and very easy. The main spending comes in after lintel level.

So with 500k or less you will get a self contain to lintel level.

You are paying community 250k for building a self contain. For what?

Good day good pple,
Pls is it possible to use 1inch granite size for columns and lintel for a storey building? If yes, what is the right mixing ratio to achieve grade 20 strength?

Lekan239:
did you do it recently, and does the 750k include the material for the screeding?

By my calculation 750k for 1088sqm. Therefore 750,000/1088

Which give us 690per sqm.

Yes, EVERYTHING.

I've been thinking of how to replace materials for construction of "fins".

I really do not like the steel / concrete fins especially as they aren't structural members.

Been thinking about how toughened PVC will fair..

I don't really like giving out estimate like that, i think it's best we get the exact figure from a professional quantity surveyor

1- Clean your tanks
2- Incorporate filter to the pipe network,

1 - was done few months back.
2 - Got some filters around the pipe networks already.

But was just told about a particular filter that can reduce the presence of sand in the water.

Thank you.

Your roof frame is done and ready to receive covering. At this point reducing the height means that you will have to dismantle all the rafters, purlins,kingposts, structs, ridges and valleys as all would be affected. Practically you are starting a new roof frame.

Roof pitch is a factor of design. Assuming you wanted a high or low pitch roof, you should have monitored the kingpost at the design and formation stage and not now that the job is 100 percent done.

Cost of deconstructing this roof frame may be as much as the cost for constructing the frame.

They already began dismantling it at initial cost, since they did what we didn't agree on.

I wasn't happy with the design.

Best I can do is compensate the extra work

the best time to buy cement is during and end of rainy season. By October and November, people are rushing to complete their projects and so demand will push prices. With no government agency controlling price, consumers suffer the effects.

Only if roads are motorable.

yes it does not necessarily need to be a replica of the one I posted earlier. MFC was used for that, using same MFC or MDF what budget can you work on to give good and simple design for my kitchen?
