@bigjallow, kinda remember I posted some comments concerning your proposed project some months ago.

The 3bedroom bungalow is okay having a 4inches(100mm) German floor(slab) due to the blocks being 5 inches which is different from what's obtainable here in Nigeria.

The ratio of moulding 6 inch block is 1 bag of 50 kg cement= 36-40 blocks.

bigjallow:
Good NL,

I'm living abroad but my mom and lil sister are the ones running my building project. The builder just informed them that building a 3 bedroom bungalow with 1 master bedroom with toilet 4.5 by 5 meters and one shared toilet for the other 2 bedrooms, and well sitting room 5 by 5.5 meters with a kitchen and dinning. The size of the building is suppose to be 12 by 12 meters.

The builder said we would need 130 bags to mould 4500 blocks, 40 bags for the foundation concrete, 70 bags for setting up those blocks and a further 70 for German floor. Is it possible to use 310 bags for such a house without the plastering even coming yet. I call the builder my self and asked how comes that large number of cement and he said 8 inches German floor and i told him i see in NL many doing 4 inches German floor so 8 inches is too much.

Advice me if i should change him and get another one. I have the feeling that most of the cement will not go into the house and will be stolen since is only my mom and sister around.

Give me your advice on how many bags should be used on each of the above mention stages. We using 5' blocks for the house and i was thinking 40 per bag will suffice but the man insist on 32 or 33 per bag and this is what i read many doing for the 6' and 9' blocks.

I need you good advice please with your email and phone numbers.

Nice job sir...
What is the size of those rings(I mean the bending not thickness), and the depth of the foundation? The land seems like a good land.

God Bless You for the eye opening challenge.

I so much appreciate that, Few phone calls should guarantee permissions which in turn will enable me bring pictorial representation to your view.

I took note of that i.e swampy, which will requires a Raft Foundation, The determinant of the actual cost will be the design of the proposed structure. Quoting from experience at Ipakodo/Igbogbo area of Ikorodu.

snakebeat:
Sir he said swampy land, what if the land requires raft foundation, don't u think it's gonna exceed 5.8m?

My projects are done in respect of client privacy which i don't just showcase without client's permission.
My current project of 4 bedroom duplex at Opebi, Ikeja started with just a phone call in December from a Nairalander who saw my comment, same here on Nairaland i have seen people who can't defend themselves as Builder or even take credit for another person project here on Nairaland. here is nothing but a social forum.

Should you need a reference to jobs done till date, They are readily available upon request without delay.

EgunMogaji:
Have you built for any Nairalander or completed projects that were showcased on Nairaland? I searched your profile but could not find any.
