@ Mr. Spyder, pls did your building plan included structural drawing ? Or you point out the structures on your own since you are an expact.
Secondly some days ago i asked the no. of your pillars and beams, may be you forgot. My building plan is similar to yours and i think your respons to my question will help me alot. I appreciate your usual aid thank you.

I think there should be about 22 pillars on this house, sorry for my late response.

Mr spy, I have actually gone through this post and believe me it has been helpful from the start. But I have a question, how do you manage to fill your foundation trench with laterite? I didn't see the budget, number of trips as well as the cost. how far Bamboo and Labour for scaffolding? Please address. Thank you

I have learnt a lot from your construction process and costing. At N7.8mil, a 5bedroom duplex is built up to carcass level with plastering which pretty amazing and low-budget I must say.

Am working on a 6bedroom Maison (Because the rooms and kitchen are extra-large) will probably cost N9mil as built up to your current stage: Completely roofed and plastered.

Thanks for showing us 'HOW'

I had a well dug on site, very deep well of more than 40ft. I used the sand to fill most part of the foundation, the rest I did with the trips of sharp sand in the site.

Oga sir, pls are you an alternate moniker of spyder880 or are the pictures you posted from the same project he's uploading here?

Pls if it's not, I think it'll be appropriate you open a fresh thread for yours so as not to distort the flow of the original intent of this thread.

apologies if i have taken too much liberties to talk.

Thanks for understanding.

I disagree with your premise. Isn't it the more, the merrier? The thread has been put on hold for a while now, so we need people like @whyteboyz03 to keep it alive. On the contrary, his action will bring more traffic to the thread. People prefer a thread that is interactive and engaging with vast ideas to threads with few ideas. Again, discourse in blog is dynamic, it could go to areas that were never expected from onset.

In as much as I understand your points; I believe it will be more appropriate to only comment, ask questions and learn from Spyder but not to "attach" our personal ongoing project to this thread. whyteboyzo3 can reference and inform people about his own thread citing ideas he got from spyder, share picture and progress of his ongoing project there. Yes Spyder is a humble, easy going, intelligent man,who shares ideas and knowledge with everyone, but we should apply wisdom, respect and not "take advantage" of all of these, loosing sight of due process. He only took a break and will commence activities on his personal project; it could confuse, mislead or even make him uncomfortable seeing pictures or responses etc attached to his ongoing project which might have been intended for whyteboyz03's project. Whyteboyz03 can paste a link of his project and we will gladly visit and follow his progress.I don't comment much but feel I should point this out.
I apologize if my comment offends anyone.

Hello, I just came across this tread and am so happy...thanks guys.
Pls how can I verify that the approved building plan I got from Ogun state Govt, is the genuine approval. My architech handled the process. Just lik the old days drivers license that people do , but we later found out that it was not on FRSC database.
Pls is there a site or method I can use to verify. Don't want Govt to come in 5years time to tell me my building plan approval is not original.
kindly advise. Thanks.

Was just about to ask who you built this for. Then I decided to check op for confirmation. Sir, God bless you. This is like your second house if i am not mistaken. i remember following a thread of another multi-million # house in 2011 with your kids outside the house.

You really tried. Hard work pays off.

Good job mister. Nothing pretty than being in your own home.
