Happy Sunday to everyone.

We are doing the column formworks, casting of the columns and today we are kicking off earth filling of the backstage and hall areas.
While tomorrow, we set out other parts of the building which we haven't done due to want of space.

Please keep following.

We have some isolated pad foundation at the center of the mini halls.

It has been raining since these few days.
Earth filling ongoing.
We may not be buying laterite as the rubbles and earth on site may be enough.

Good day good nairalanders.

We have successfully completed the earth filling and placement of rubbles as hardcore for this structure.
Iron fitting for beams to connect the columns together and placement BRC wire mesh ongoing.
Materials are being delivered to site for casting of the oversite concrete.

We budgeted
200bags of cement.
90 tons of granite.
80 tons of sharp sand.
14 rolls of 4mm BRC wire mesh.
85 lengths of 16mm for beams.
10mm available from the Left over purchased before.

All earth filling material was from the demolished building and some part of the excavated earth.

We will be working on the approach risers and risers to the individual halls soon.

This your foundation looks very neat ooo!
Please what's the depth and the thickness of the blinding?

We did 150mm (6inches) concrete thickness for the footings and 450mm (18inches) for the column base as stipulated in the design.

Thanks sir/ma for following our thread.

Happy Sunday Nairalanders, we are still pushing on with our project, keep following for updates.

Slab formwork 90percent done, ready to receive nylon sheets. This is to help prevent loss of concrete nutrients.

Iron fitters are doing their work already, we are using TMT rods.

#Progress.
We quickly did casting of our first staircase for easy access to the first floor, this would eliminate waste of doing a wooden flight.

Iron works still ongoing.
Laying of nylon sheets on formworks.

We are making adequate preparation to carry out concreting of the suspended floor.
Formwork is ready.
Iron fittings done.
Plumbing piping ready.
Electrical piping yet to finish.

We have two R.C stairs on this project. One serving the backstage and the other serving the reception. Both have been completely cast for easy access of labourers for casting. No wooden flight hence no waste.

We will have to extend all the column rebars before we cast.

Let's see the exterior.

Granite is ready.

Good evening sir/ma.

We are done casting the suspended floor slab and have commenced the formation and erection of the walls.

More picture update.

Link will be dropped soon.

Block work is almost at the lintel course here.
