It all depends on WHERE in Lekki, Lekki get grade!

There are parts of Lekki that are [color=#007700]dry land, though Sandy[/color] and you will still need a raft to build a Story building
There are other parts of Lekki that are water-logged and still Sandy, your raft will cost more and it may even be a Drill
There is the third part of Lekki, the worst of them all, it is water, looged but not Sandy. IT IS A WATER-LOGGED SWAMP.
With this last one, l can ssure you that #10M for Foundation is not an exageration. I have one of it and l still dey regret how l got tricked into committing funds into it. The cost could have erected Two building in other places
... but it is a 'Sea Front', so tha compensates.

michlins:

Good morning sir.

Here's the picture of the rail you talked about right

Good day house.
Practically , what is the maximum distance a beam can span between two supports using 12mm rods for both support and beam.

UDUJ:
I think what finished Oshiomole was pride and arrogance.

This was someone that was loved by all right from his labour union days to when he became a governor. He suddenly started feeling like a Greek Demigod and became very arrogant.

redgem:
Is there any need for leveling when a building is at foundation level

What are the advantages of using 9" blocks for external wall?

Rerin:
Hello house, please can I use 6inches block on a decking with 1 feet shootout even though i used 9inches all through at the ground floor? I used 35 pillars at the ground floor flats, can i reduce them to 20pillars at upper part flats of decking?
Is it manually made blocks are better or machine made with a bit of stone dust blocks. Please enlighten me more. Its not water logged, 6units of flats

twinskenny:

Saw it at a client site

For waterlogged area or better still places with high water table, you dont need a soak away but a septic tank. ..


Thanks for your response, I already dig the soakaway, the problem is the soakaway is not soaking anything, infact is the one bringing water from the ground.



In waterlogged sites, it is often found that the water table is exceptionally high
(ie, near the surface). In cases such as this, a soakaway is just not going to
work: think about it - to where will all the additional water you're planning to
send to the soakway drain? There is nowhere for it to go. The 'soakaway' in this
situation is not a soakaway at all; it's a hole full of water, otherwise known as a
sump.


One of the first things to consider when choosing a site for a soakaway is the
water table (aka saturation line). This is defined as upper level of the
groundwater that is naturally held within the soil, sub-soil strata.

However, there are some sites where the water table is high, because there is a
layer of impermeable clay overlying a deeper strata that might be porous. In
such cases, digging through the clay cap and into the porous sub-strata will
render a soakaway feasible, assuming that the depth to the porous strata is not
prohibitive.
