I had to do this only once, so am sure there are a lot of experienced heads that can also chip in.
Here are my checklists.

# Ensure you have more than enough cement, if they tell you 200. have 250 on site
# Granite and sharp sand also follows the advice up here, dont worry if it remains you will still need it for lintel and other works
# Get your caster to come and view it and plan how they would deck it, for my first decking we used 2 machines and entry/exit points by either sides.
Your concrete biscuits should be in place, square shaped concrete used to lift up the iron works so that its buried inside concrete and not too close to the ceiling surface downstairs.
# Ensure that you consult your structural drawings or your engineer checks that all pillars are in place etc, its easy to add now but more difficult and less effective later.
# Settle omonile before hand if such applies
# Tell your caster they need to be on site by 6AM and it must not pass 1 day
# Make sure you finalise your electrics, I really hate it when something gets missed or pipes blocked, i hate hearing that word chisel. So much so that I now have angle grinder destined for nija.
# Ask about the mix and the ratio etc.
# Make provisions for water
# Make it clear that they must use poker vibrat0r (only costs 5K to rent), I nearly sacked my caster because of this. Dont let them tell you they will tap it, you don't want none of that nonsense. The tapping means that the mix will be watery, they will now use stick to tap it to avoid pores/holes in the concrete.
# Ensure all the wood work is in place and plum. I saw a decking done for someone, the thing be like a magicians shoes, low on one side and high on the other end.
# Before they cast, ensure that the board work is clean and clear. No rubble etc.
# The demarcating walls can be filled with broken blocks to avoid concrete wastage, but make sure they sweep the board and no rubbles on the formwork. Any rubbles you will chisel off and fill with mortar, why why why when you can just sweep the formwork and ensure no rubbles.
# Study the weather before the day.
# Relax and take chill pill

Good luck and all the best.

God bless you Maverick for this check list. At my decking stage too for my 8 Mini-flats. This will be very helpful

The guy is a rich, silent, oil and gas Baron. He celebrated is 50th birthday of recent.

Very rich guy I must say. I know he's from Ogun state but never knew he has this good structure in a remote place like Iperu remo.


Abeokutas and the Ijebus are the cream de la cream of the Yorubas, no doubt about that(education, money, influence, well travelled, fame etc). They even make the largest percentage of those who call themselves real Lagosians now.

My late grand father used to be Otunba of Iperu Remo. He built one nasty mansion there too with a basement as well. Wish I can go back to that crib.

. A pix of the land will help so as not to over assume while putting up an estimate. Just know that you'll be having a 4ft raft wall while the remaining 6 ft will be made of sandcrete blocks. Pls send your pix to benavoh@gmail.com or via whatsup 08039387432 for more precise details.

. Plumbing is two part...piping and fittings installation assuming you have the required toilet/bathroom, kitchen fittings to be installed. It will cost you about #100-#150k to buy the plumbing materials and workmanship to pay plumber for the works.

. Piping will not be tampered with. Just be sure to tell your plumber to use nylon or empty cement bag to cover any openings of the pipe that extends outside the building, especially the waste pipes for both toilets.

Hello

I will always advice that you have some form of security on site o, things go missing easily otherwise, it could also be workers/opportunist etc. I have had people come with vans to pack materials from site, and one even came with his car to pack remaining roofing sheets. This same person was approached to return it back, and thats what we used to roof security/power house.

With plumbing also, there are some small materials that can easily enter bag before you know it. Even big heavy materials dey fly comot site.

. In a place where there's no security or the house is exposed to the antics of petty thieves and robbers I strongly suggest you buy materials in bits and monitor the work to be done so that you don't have an excess of material on site.
