1. 1000 square metres of land can only build 2 units of 6 flats of 2 bedrooms, with a line of cars as parking space for both houses.

2. I believe that N34 million naira can still build the shell of this 6 flats, by that I mean the foundation till the roofing of the house, no finish stages involved.

Welcome Sir.

well done sir. The N34 million is for a single unit of the 6 flats or 2 units of the 6 flats?

Please spyder, I need your help. My carpenter and engineer said the Aluminum Long Span roof used for my building is 0.47 guage. I doubt if there is a 0.47 guage and beside after installing the roof, I don't like it because it looks too shinny under the sun and also doesn't look balanced and straight. Please, what should be the cause, and do I have anyway to remedy this? Because I don't like the roof and I spent millions to install it. Now I am more like disliking the house.

I haven't heard of 0.47 before, only 0.45 and 0.50. Roofs can look shiny after first installation, and will gradually lose the shine as the years roll by. If it doesn't look straight, it might be the fault of the roofers who did the wood work. Installation follows the placement and balance of the wood.

We have cast every column and every beam with concrete, we have also topped the blocks in readiness for the decking.............

We have our CC for this slab set at 60mm. The slab is a total of 150mm thickness.

As for reinforcement rods, TMT is very cool, but there are standard gauges from most local companies these days after the FG improved the standard of rods late last year.

C/c 60mm (less then 3 inches) as how, what am seeing on this slab is more than 60mm. May b am not getting u right!

150mm thickness is the standard!

Pls can u recommend a nice local iron Rod nd it's price for me nd the brand also

You were asking about slab reinforcement and the CC, in a typical slab with projected thickness of 150mm, when you remove the 12mm rods, and the possibility of some lapping in some crossed areas, you will have about 120mm of concrete left, I usually plan to have about 60mm top and 60mm bottom. The bottom part is usually easier, I can use concrete biscuits to prop up the decking mat, but the top CC is trickier as we must navigate to ensure that adequate spread is made so that the CC plan will be achieved.

B/w, 3 inches you mentioned is 75mm, not 60mm.
