Construction 2 flats (3 Bedrooms at the front and 1 Bedroom at the back on 50x100 fts
Day 1: We commence with Site Clearing and uproot of the root on Site.
This root is necessary in order not to affect the Foundation. If
wood is cut on d surface without uproot deep down. This may lead to
crack of foundation later on.

Epà, Domó!!!


I will be following this thread and I will use it as a motivation to start my own project soon.

This is a detailed architectural floor plan on a 50by100fit plot which comprises of a 3bed room flat in the front with an ante room and a laundry, all rooms ensuit and a bed seater attached behind from my Engineer. I would appreciate any constructive criticism, any feedback would help me out.

Nice one,the engineer really knows what he is doing

Day 2
680blocks Per day.
34blocks (5inches) per one bag of cement

Following!

Thanks guys for all the criticism and observations, promise to make all the needed amendments and also, I believe there's always room for improvement

My observations:
1. Kitchen in 1 bed flat has no exit door or veranda. I know this is similar in design to most self contained apartments with only one entry and exit door, but I personally prefer my kitchen to have a separate exit door.

2. No kitchen stores

3. Laundry has no door

4. I personally prefer a living room that one wouldn't need to pass through anytime one wants to step out through the front door, so I'd prefer my ante room opening directly into the lobby rather than into the living room.

5. I'm guessing there is no door between the living room and lobby in the 3 bed flat, and if that's the case then ventilation in the lobby should be taken care of. However, I believe u may need to provide for some source of daylight in the inner parts of the lobby, like maybe glass blocks on the wall separating lobby and laundry.

Here is Modified Plan. Thank you for your observations!
The Living room has a walk through to the dining with an Ack.

DAY 3
Pegging and Digging process
Dept of trench=2fit
Coach that will go into the trench=2coach
Number of coach after foundation to filling level =4coach because of the terrean ( water lodge area )

4inches concrete thickness for foundation blinding

How much did you get the 30ton granite? What’s the cost of digging the trench and casting?

Well I did mention it was a personal preference, but in my opinion a house that size should have at least 2 entry points - one in front and another at the back.

Good question, i will refer you to my Builder (+234 706 487 7995 Whatup). He said, "hard to tell."

I thought you talked about having one door from the anteroom to the Living room and then another door from the same anteroom to the lobby?

Day 4

Great job!

Hatesin:

Oh no, you misunderstood me then. I meant a single entry from ante room to lobby and then the entrance into the living room would be from the lobby, not directly from the ante room.

DAY 6: Filling in progress

Work is moving with God's speed

Presently sir, we can't really tell the actual price duce to the current instability of the exchange rate

Day 7
filling complete and gate set. To God be the Glory

DAY 8

Day 10
Lintel and Pillars casting in progress.

nice job
