12mm is 94 while
16mm is 53

Sorry.. But it isn't.
Perhaps that what a supplier gives you doesn't make it the standard...

Note: knowing the numbers has a formula and calculation, except you're a civil engineer no need to dispute the number.

Goodluck

Please can someone help me check this quotation i got from my builder. The house is in the village in oyo state and it is a 3 bedroom bungalow. Am i about to be duped? The quotation is looking so high. I am working on a tight budget
That roofing style is too long for such height.
Increase the height a bit so that water can run off it easily and to avoid undue maintenance.

I don’t know what part of Surulere you have this project but one thing I would point out to you is to be careful of water leaking from foundation in that area. Almost all the old houses there have that issue.
Have that conversation with client and ask him the situation. You don’t want to be blamed for a preexisting condition. Also, you would want to factor in the cost of fixing the leak.
The client will never be satisfied by only aesthetics if the leak is not taken care of.
For a story building, tackling foundation water leak is often compounded by the fact that the height of headroom downstairs cannot be raised. People end up having dwarfed ceiling height.
Good luck and more power to your elbows.

We dont need to argue on this, but 9mm TmT bar is 94 And 16mm is 53 directly from the Factory. Unless You're Buying from the Suppliers which is common Phenomenon in Lagos,the Suppliers always remove 1 length on each tonne as their own additional Profit. Get your fact right by Engaging a Trusted Supplier not on Google search sir.

The stacking wasn't done in columns but rows it was over laid so you will have let say 12 PCs in the side and front view but back and center would not be up to 12 each and it will achieve the same height, layman's term, if they were to arranged 300bags in normals should be 12 bags in height 5 in length and breadth, but they will arrange 12bags in height for the front rows and 5for the based then will over lap the remaining bags some will stand halfway some will interlock each other in such a way they would make way with 10 to 15 bags and if you were to count you would get 300 cos all the outer bags would be stacked completely while the inners wouldn't be complete, so if you count from top or side and multiply it would give you the exact numbers, but if you count in pieces you would notice. And if you don't until your mason, start unstacking them before you would get to know.
I got to know this when I was cross-checking the Remaining Cement left in my Store in preparation for the Casting, but It didn't met my expectations so I felt a foul play by the Off loaders as my Supervisor is Jjc,so I asked my Carppy to remove the Store woods Completely and all their Secret were Open. I quickly video everything and forwarded it to my Supplier, He didn't deny it, He called his driver and the driver open up... Well I firstly told them to return 50bags cos we hardly get the accurate number of cement they stole unless they confess but from my calculations, it's 33bags missing so I asked them to return the 33bags latest on Tuesday. If nothing done between today and Tomorrow, I'll get The Supplier arrested,nothing concern me concern the off loaders.

Thanks so much sir, we already put all that into consideration before we started the project as usual sir
But you know Lagos very well sir.

It's an old trick known to them all and they always get the depot manager permission to carry it out. Goodluck with your recovery, cos 33bags in this economy, which account are you writing that out to? And can definitely fit in bar debt in this bulab*** season

yea true only engineers can know their ways around getting the actual quantity. But then its like meat ie turkey or chicken, the weight is what counts which brings us to the quality. A steel with less quality won’t weigh much so it supposed to be more than 52 and one with the actual factory quality is expected to be not less than 52 and that us where the manufacturers tend to make their profit by trying to get more of the same weight thereby reducing the quality and still sell 52 as one tonne.

Why did you prefer this design to a 2-storey building of the same 6units of 2bedroom flats, please?

Do you feel this is cheaper in terms of cost?
