I think the poster requested for a 4/5 bedrooms duplex. I did not see the pricing for plastering and soft sand. Also tell me what is dagbolu sand ?  You also mentioned that you've build for 2 nairaland members and that they are very happy. Can you disclose the members for reference purpose.

pls give the details of your nairaland customers for  references

I have learnt a lot from this thread, keep it up guy

I am planning to commence the construction of a duplex in Rivers State.

I have a little challenge with sourcing the materials I want to use which is HYDRAFORM INTERLOCKING DRY STACKING BLOCKS. I currently live in a house built with Hydraform and after this experience it will be extremely difficult to live in a regular cement block house because of the heat emitting characteristic of cement block which hydraform does not have, being made from laterite (red mud) soil.

Does anyone know where I can source the hydraform in Rivers State.

Thanks for the help.

[b]I am not sure why you want to use an earth-quake resistant block for your home in Nigeria sir. Of course the Hydra-form blocks are far better and stronger than our normal hollow blocks here but most are used basically in countries like South Africa, the middle east, India, and California in the US. But under engineering, they serve a totally different purpose and not a MUST when building in an earthquake free zone like Nigeria.
Even in Dubai where they have low magnitude earthquakes once a while, the hollow blocks we use in Nigeria are highly used, though they tend to bury a shocking large amount of steel and concrete deep into the ground for an ordinary foundation, and their home foundations are usually subcontracted to road builders. I mean, they spend fortunes on reinforced concretization to beat the earthquake, and they've prevailed.
Hydra-form blocks are good blocks to use, but totally a waste of money sir. Whoever is selling it to you doesnt really understand that its only quality is just thermal and tremor resistance. Besides that, its just an ordinary block. Best of luck in finding a Lebanese or Indian construction company that will set that up for you.[/b]

Thanks for the response.

The idea is not being sold to me but something I want to do. I said I currently live an hydraform built house. Actually hydraform company has a different material for construction of earthquake resistant houses and that is not what I am referring to. In terms of cost, it is actually cheaper to built with hydraform than conventional blocks. In addition, in our own climate which is very hot, hydraform becomes the better material to use. If you have ever been inside a mud house in a hot afternoon, you will understand what I am saying. In the same way, if you sleep in cement block house after a very hot day, and there is no light for you to run your fan or airconditioner, you will value hydraform if you have the opportunity to sleep in one under the same circumstances.

I still need information on the possible sources.

Thanks once again for your response.

Go to Hydraform website,they have their rep office at Abuja.They do go self locking bricks.
