UWC sir

Plz sir, can this plan fit into an 11m by 21m piece of land? I intend to include two rooms and a cistern on top of those two rooms at the corners

Evening, yes it can fit - you would, however, need to introduce a stair for your proposed pent floor.... We can help with that...

I'll send you a mail

Hi Saydfact,

Afternoon and thanks for checking back..

Estimate looks OK and workmanship is class....

keep it up...

Thank you.

What would you say of the structure of work done. also the cost of labour is N180,000.00 which comprises of setting blocks to lintel plus cost of digging and blinding.

That's why I said the workmanship is class - I wont have done better under same circumstances.......

180k from foundation to lintel is a good deal - how where you able to achieve that?

Thanks Boss.

I had agreed this fee with the head labour before we commenced at all. I have paid 80k to this level and 100k is the balance to take the above foundation block setting.

We're still in the business of functional and affordable designs.

Same name you can trust.

Our latest...

Plz sir cud u send d mail again?

Will there be space for septic /soccer well tank

Mail me on Cadsolutions2009@gmail.com

Please what size of septic tank and soakaway size can occupy a space of 20ft×10ft
Please ur response will be highly appreciated

Estimated Materials:

Granite = 30 tonnes

Sharp Sand = '2 double tippers'

Floor Thickness Used = 100mm (4 inches)

Approx Cement = 75 - 90 bags (75 from experience, while 90 from calculations)

Labour = 65k - 70k (depending on the cost of renting concrete mixer) - I'll advice you use a concrete mixer cos its a BIG floor you doing

1 by 12 wood = 11 pcs BUT sliced into 2 to give 22 pcs (i.e buy 11 pcs of 300 by 3600 {1by12} Somi, slice it into 150 by 3600 {0.5by12} each)
you would need about 3 pcs of 2by4 for the bracing and 3 inches nail of about 1k worth, plus binding wire of about 2k worth.

Carpenter Workmanship = Daily pay (about 3.5k - 5k)

Budget some cash for the people who would do the 'RAMMER', i.e wetting and compacting of the filling.

Water =

I don try....

Goodluck

Please this quote is for which measurement ? I mean what is the diameter of the propose DPC ? Thank you

@saydfact, Good day sir , hope you are good today?

Can you please give me materials for doing this German floor of 14.2m by 27. 4" thanks

Cement ?
Granite?
Sand ?
Wood ?

Thanks

Morning; Ok to your request but can you please put the measurement in a regular UNIT? eg Meter, feet etc

don't combine 2 UNITS (meter and inches) as you did above.

Regards

The quote was for about 20m3 of concrete ie 20 cubic meter of concrete OR 135m2 of German Floor (using 150mm thick concrete).


I hope you understand....

Thanks for you respond . I mean 14meters by 27meters 383m² and the thickness of the German floor is 4inches

This can only be a church, public building or a big hall

You would need 160 - 170 bags of cement; about 40 tonnes of sand and about 60 tonnes of granite.

Is a residential house with big big rooms

Plz criticise n cost of foundation to dpc with concrete on blocks at dpc level

Pls send me a dimensioned drawings - I cant work with a non-dimensioned drawing because I don't know how big or small it is.
Thanks..

You can also chat me on Whatsapp if you need further clarifications.

THE MAIN ENTRANCE IS TOO INWARD.... can you show the location of the main road to help me understand why the main entrance is that inward?
thanks

I asked him bt he said the dimension is 8.4m by 14m. Width-8.4m n length-14m

Tnx sir, here it is.

I'm assuming the soil is a good one and I'll use strip foundation and send soon - if its a waterlogged soil, let me know soon.

Goodluck

Nop, it is not water logged. Solid ground sir, tnx

Morn Boss;
Here is your material schedule up-to german floor level (OR the concrete beam over blockwork as you requested)

MATERIALS:

Cement in Ground Beam ie Fondation Footing = 35 bags (using 150mm as thickness) OR 45 bags (using 200mm as thickness)
Cement for Block Setting = 16 bags
Cement for Concrete on blocks at DPC level = 12 bags (using thickness as 100mm ie 4inches) OR 55 bags for German Floor)

Block in Foundation = 990 nos (using 4 courses as the basis)

8mm Rebar in Starter Column = 2 nos OR purchase 3 dozens of ready-made 9'' rings
12mm Rebar in Starter Column = 8 nos (using 12 columns for calculation - ie just the pent floor area)
16mm Rebar in Starter Column = 16 nos (that's the exact nos needed buy 1 more incase of waste)

Granite = I always advice 30 tonnes BUT 15 tonnes would be enough for the Foundation works (without a full german floor)

Sharp Sand = 40 tonnes OR 2 nos of 10 tyre Tipper

Add N20,000:00k for setting out (if done the right way with profiles, pegs etc)

Budget 5 Tanks of Water @ N2,500 each for the project if there no free water source around


WORKMANSHIP:

Negotiate and ask for advice later.

Goodluck

NOTE: We design and build also

Thank you so much boss, I really appreciate this.
May God bless you this day in Jesus name, amen.
Please the reenforcement bars, u mean i wud need:
2nos of 8mm or 8 nos of 9" 12mm ready made rings and 16 nos of 16mm rods? Plz clearify dis items for me, tnx

8 lengths of 12mm

16 lengths of 16mm
