Fantastic job chief, excellent delivery. the masonry work, is particularly very neat. And the roof gutter idea is just
Ingenious.
From a quick glance i'd say, it reduces the amount of roofing material generally needed,
greatly reduces (if not totally) the chances of the wind blowing the roof off. There's little to no room for the wind to exert any upward or lateral force .
and with conduit piping for the rain water, that eliminates the need for unsightly pipes running along the length of the building.
Fantastic

How did you cap off the roof? Did you deck the roof or construct low angled roof tiles?

Great job Oga Aventures ,
We interfaced a while back, early last month i believe. I sent across the 8 Schneider distribution boards for this project.
Came across this thread a number of times but as usual, I had no idea I was supplying to you or that the items were for this project. Enterpreneur is indeed a man of remarkable taste and very clear preference . I hope to make out time and visit this beautiful project before its completion.
Glad to see the project is coming on great. God's grace and God's speed

How deep do one need to dig for foundation of a 2 storey building? Not water logged area. Also, won't the foundation need to be chained?

Still available

Well I don't mean to criticize, just sharing what I know.

1stly The reason hollow blocks are used is 'cause the hollow in them prevents heat transfer thru conduction. That means a house build with a solid block would be hotter than that built with hollow,especially in our climate.

2ndly its the width of the block that actually spreads load, not how dense it is. That means wider area would be better. 9" width would be better than 6" width. Also your house would be heavier since u re using solid blocks, which would require deeper and wider foundation to spread the load.

3rdly, cost-wise, Moulding a 9" hollow block consumes less sand than a 6" solid block.

I don't know the rational behind your choice (maybe space conservation) and the work has commenced already, but consider these point for future projects. If space conservation is the reason, I suggest u frame the building, (I.e. construct the columns and beams first, then add 6" hollow blocks later). In that case the blocks don't bear any loads, just the columns and beams.

Thanks!

In all honesty, there are only three builders on Nairaland. In alphabetical order, They are (1) Aventures (2) Segcymoor (3) Spyder. These are builders that has set the pace for others to follow. No controversies, no dirty games, no sharp practises in their dealings with clients. Gentlemen, keep up the good work! Aventures, you have done extremely well with this project so far.
