We were able to do this today 31st July 2018.

We resumed the upper floor just two days after casting. That might surprise you. However we are applying safety propping in place and reducing weight on the building in the best way possible. After which the building would be left without touch for a month before plastering can commence...

More pictures from July 31st Work.

Upper Floor was adjusted to be two unit of one bedroom Flat now.

Thank you sir. Pls feel free to ask your questions anytime for anything about construction. I am very deep into building design and construction and am willing to help.

As we speak. Am currently doing some projects for two Nairaland clients. Big projects... And I can share the pictures here

An ongoing project I designed for a Nairaland client and am currently building it too in Ajah. Started it February this year. Here is the 3D and the real life construction images.

This year alone I have been opportune to do 4 projects currently ongoing. I designed all and am doing the construction.

I have an in depth knowledge of these foundation types.

- Strip
- Strip and Pad.
- Isolated Pad
- Raft
- A combination of either of two or more foundation types.

The locations I have projects ongoing are
- Lakowe Ajah Lagos
- Oke Aro Ogun State
- Gbagada Lagos State
- Uratta North Imo State
- PHC River State of which this thread is capturing it. Other projects listed here have their own thread and posts here in my profile. You might want to take your time to check it out...

We design and build homes not houses...

Client: Nairaland
Project Location: Gbagada Project Lagos State
Architect: Dennis3D
Contractors: Dennis3D

You said it all. Also what was a major constraint is space. All my 4 other projects this year has Malam steps. But they aren't built up environment like this one.

Also looking at time and cost. This method in fact rocks. Can't you see how neat the staircase looks

Ever considered concrete and materials lift. It pays for itself overtime. I try to bypass waste.

You are trying o! Rain in PH is on another level. I had to abandon ship in June after rain no gree make we progress.

No rain on Fridays because of Ikwerre burials ( ) that's what I heard and it seemed to work.

Well...Kudos!

Dennis3D:


It's called Kalsi Board. POP Water resistant plasterboard can be used too or direct concrete facial casting

It is called Cement Board sir. Kalsi is a brand.

Beautiful thread by the way.

Hmmm rain in PHC is something else especially at this time of the year. It's been raining everyday here but thank God that the times I don't need the rain to fall it wouldn't. Thank God for that. Not my power. Example. The day we cast decking. It rain heavily on the Sunday morning 30th July in PHC. In fact I almost gave up on the rain. By 8am it stopped and was drizzling. By 10am sun ☀ came out and was really shining very well. Till evening. The next day was sun too for two days. It's been nice and challenging at the same time.

Thanks for the information. Do you have any idea of the size and cost of the board?

I have a contact for the board dealer in Lagos but not here in ph. In fact I went out this morning to look for the board at mile 3 in PHC here. I didn't find it. So am going to change the roof facial now to concrete facial with its own design. Am currently designing it on my system now. I have communicated with the client about it though so we have other options...

gordonbarrett:

Cost depends on size and thickness. Ranges from 10k - 35k a piece

Sizes: 1.2m x 2.4m, 1.2m x 3m

Thickness: 6mm, 8mm, 10mm 12mm, 20mm

You are 100% correct with this info. I confirmed from the dealers in Lagos this exact information you wrote here.

August 2nd 2018

We are at Lintel already. That's day 17 of our work
.. More pictures to follow as we cast today August 3rd.

After going to check for the design roofing facial we initially designed and couldn't get it in the market here in pH. We therefore resort to casting parapet now. But first I have redesigned the roof pattern just yesterday. Reviewed with client and its accepted.

Here is the new approach now. Now that's why we are extremely competent and fast because from design to construction. We are always on ground providing additional support to our client.

Note: this parapet design is more cost effective than the curved shaped one. Which we did the design too and presented the 3 different roofing designing to the client to pick from.

Today 3rd August - This is how far we went. Casting of the upper floor Lintel and Columns just after two days block work.

DAY 18 of the Project.

More photos from today August 3rd...
Seeing is believing...

You don try well, well o. Keep it up Sir.

The kind of feeling you get when you stay inside what you designed and built to finishing is exceptional. The photos you are about to see is the renovated Bungalow of the same client am working for. I did the renovation design too and this new project is in the same compound too.

This pictures were taken today still August 5th 2018
Then work resumed after church.

Photo back up...
The interior is far much better than some Duplex. High class tasty finishing.

I have been following you and your jobs and, you're doing well but, I have to point out to you that you're very unprofessional in your approach to showcasing your jobs.

Take note of the following;
1. Try as much as possible to post pictures of your jobs and not of you.

2. It is very unprofessional to post the interior of a client's living room no matter what statement you're trying to make.

3. Another unprofessional attribute you have is posting actual names of clients. I would rather you post the clients moniker (for those on nairaland) or blur the names (for those on or not on nairaland).

That being said, I wish you well in your jobs. Thank you.
