I haven't seen any plumbing or electrical conduits in the foundation. I am just curious as I am using your postings, pictures to plan my own project though I will be primarily doing all the work with a few hired hands. This is a good thing that you are doing. |

@Euromeka, good to know you are following the steps we are using in this project. Again, this is not a one-size-fit-all project. Different solution applies to different situation. To your question: Placement of plumbing and electrical pipe under slab is a critcal issue. Although, it is possible to make changes by cutting the concrete but that is expensive. A lot of plumbing problem do occur under the slab - this problem are very expensive to repair, takes a lot of time and causes a lot of disruption to the house. This is a battle you can win in the future with little or no demolition at all, if you bring all your plumbing pipe out from under the concrete slab. As for this project, it will be very unwise for me to make that move, knowing fully well that its gonna take some months before the owner take possesion. I rest my case!!! |

Hi Brabus, thanks for your response. I absolutely respect your opinion as you're on the ground getting it done. Could you take a look at my thread and give your opinion based on what you know about the industry and the available raw materials at home https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-703235.0.html |

Good morning Brothers and Sisters! Another bright and beautiful day it is on my bed! The man wey hin house dey burn woke up this morning only to find out that friends, suppliers, and well-wishes had put off the fire. I'll be visiting the site this morning to see what happened while I was away. Let's see if my presence at the site is really required or if the workmen had mastered me so much that they can work with little or no supervision. I'll be visiting another site in the neighbourhood which I'm going to tell you about. This will interest a lot of home owners who are thinking of conversion - from 1 storey to 2, or 2 to 3 storey. Bungalow conversion in this case - stay glued! |

I was on site briefly today after spending almost 4 hours in heavy traffic on Lagos/Ibadan expressway. Update: The Abokis had completed the filling of the foundation. We are now praying for rain. You may want to ask why the wait? The answer is simple - We've got enough time. My link is very bad today and as a result cannot post pic update. But there's no much difference from what you saw two days ago. Pic Update to follow later. |

We will join you in praying for rain . . . . |

I had the opportunity of visiting a client whom I got in contact with on NL to discuss how NextHome can help him solve his problem. We were at the site and everything looks perfect - except for the dramatic slope of the land. I can read in the clients face disappointment but we discovered opportunity to increase the land's livable area with a basement. We are still in discussion stage. More updates to follow soon. Between me and you - I'm conceptualizing a raised bungalow for the client. Building a house on a steep slope requires creativity. I'll post pic of the site when I get approval to do so. |

Its business as usual again today. I met a new client today. This time - our project site does not require creativity but TECHNICAL expertise. We are building on loose or compressible soils or let say building on water-logged site. At the mention of AJAH, LEKKI, V.I - the first thing that comes to the mind of a layman is RAFT Foundation. Vast majority of homes built in aforementioned areas are built on soil (irrespective of the foundation type), not on bedrock. By definition, soil is a mixture of small, decayed bedrock particles; organic material such as decaying plants, wood and animals; air; and often water. Therefore, site investigation/soil test is highly recommended to obtain the information about subsurface conditions at the site of proposed construction. A RAFT foundation is not a solution to underground issues that will affect your structure. My decision to carry out a soil test is influenced by the following: 1. The size and type of project. (3 floors and a Multi-dwelling apartment) 2. Characteristics of soil in the area 3. Risks involved and the cost of not doing so. Soil samples were collected from 3 different locations on the site and they will be sent to Lab today to help determine the depth of our foundation, ground water level and engineering properties of the soil. More updates later.
