That land doesn't look like swampy area so why the high foundation is for you engineer know how to waste materials.

my brother its not about been swampy. We took the level of the existing road and deemed it fit to use high foundation. We build for safety and economy. The area is still developing and you don't know what will happen in 20years coming. Its better to do it now than to regret later.

Yeah I get you.

Like those old houses in my area where they just constructed the road. The road is almost on the same level as their decking and there’s no magic they can do to make a car enter those compounds again.

I understand you.

Reinforcements for the plinth beams in progress. 4y12@200c/c

Good work.
Please what's the estimated cost of this project?

STINOS:
We have about 3000 pieces of 9" blocks ready to be used and about 90 tons of coarse and fine aggregates. This will be enough for the foundation block work and blinding of the foundation footings/concrete work for the starter columns and plinth beams respectively.

Good work.

The carcass only from foundation to roof excluding plastering and screeding is estimated at N25m. It might be lower or higher depending on your location.
