twinskenny:
well engr..is there a chance for cctv or dstv installation for the client,?
Thanks

Good day to you,
Well we did not make any provision for CCTV as it was not required by the client but there are adequate provisions for DSTV (all conduit)... as a matter of fact, one of the latter pictures i will eventually upload shows the already installed DSTV dish.
Thanks for your question.

Thanks for the update but I think most people are more interested in the cost breakdown/estimates and maybe basic challenges and lessons from the project. Like you rightly said, each project with its peculiarity but just posting pictures showing various levels of construction is common here already.

Your advice is well noted and really appreciated; will definitely work on it and probably come up with innovative ways of sharing cost estimates as it were... Thanks a lot

Nice work OP
I think the following would have been useful:

* which area of Lekki ?
* Some info on the terrain ?
* Some info on the challenges faced and your solution ?
* Cost/Estimate information.
* Kind/height of foundation, was it dug or the blinding done at the ground level you met.

Thanks.

Thanks for your questions... will respond to each one of them.

The building is at Ikota... infact it's in Megamound Estate.

Like is shown in the very first set of pics i shared, the terrain is largely swampy

The major challenge faced on this project was the terrain because in spite of the swampy nature of the soil, we still had to dig to get to relatively solid ground upon which the foundation was laid. This challenge was however totally surmounted once we were done with the foundation.
The other alternative would have been for us to sand fill and wait for some 2 years for the soil to compact well... unfortunately, our client did not have the luxury of time.
Other challenges include the budget i.e we were constrained for cash from the start to the finish... i guess this is common with most clients.

As for the cost estimate, i would rather not go into that now as every project is perculiar to itself... whatever estimates i put here might discourage some prospective client but that info you can get if u call or send a private msg to me.

The height of the foundation for this project is 1.8metres and we dug to hit solid ground...

Thanks a million for your questions... really appreciate u
