Wrapping up work on the block setting, we are laying the fourth and final coach and getting ready for the column casting and back-filling.

Blockwork setting continues today, we have achieved 4 coaches with the 2nd unit and will be putting the 4th coach on the 1st unit tomorrow.

Blockwork setting on 2nd unit in progress.

Blockwork setting on 1st unit done up to 3 coaches, 1 more coach going ontop before backfilling starts.

We continued with the block setting for the foundation this morning on the 1st unit and we are making good speed. We plan on doing between 3 - 4 coaches, taking into consideration the future road level, existing german floor level for houses close-by and the level of the compound landscaping when construction is done.

Foundation foot blinding completed for the 2nd unit, the first coach of blockwork has commenced.

Excavation work on the 2nd unit foundation is complete and we have commenced with the foundation foot blinding.

I really like the thickness of your foundation footing, I believe it should be up to 9 inches, not like some footings we see regularly in this properties section.

Keep up the good standards!

Thank you for the vote of confidence. BR

We are currently setting the 1st level of blockwork.

Excavation work on the 2nd unit going on concurrently.

We started with the floor blinding (concrete foundation footing) of the 1st unit of the 2 bedrooms apartment today while the excavation of the 2nd unit is also ongoing.

Foundation setting prayers is very important, so the client committed the construction into Gods hand.

Excavation for the 1st unit of 2-bedroom apartments concluded today, we will excavate the 2nd unit tomorrow.

The cost for the setting-out, excavation, blockwork and backfilling for both unit is N200,000.

More pictures showing excavation progress on site.

Thank you Hajj M for the vote of confidence. Hope you are doing well.

Setting-out and excavation work on the foundation started this morning. We are digging to a dept of 12inches because the soil is firm.

For this phase of the project we are doing the sub-structure work, up to german floor level. Basically, the steps involve for this stage are

1. Site clearing/grubbing
2. Setting-out
3. Foundation excavation
4. Floor blinding
5. Foundation blockwork
6. Backfilling
7. Columns (for foundation)
8. Iron reinforcement work/BRC wire mesh laying
9. Carpentary formwork
10. Concrete slab casting (german floor)

I might have omitted some steps that work hand-in-hand together so please take note. Materials have been dumped on site by the client.

No matter how SMALL or BIG our projects are, to God be the GLORY!

Omonigeriarere:
Where is the location of this project in Ogbomoso?

Project is located in the Aroje area of Ogbomosho.

We carried out the soil test yesterday, the result will be used in designing the structural framework and for processing the approval.

Doing a soil test helps determine the right type of foundation to be done on the site and saves the client from future regrets of the house tilting or sinking.

More demolition pictures.

Its been a long break but we are back on site this week to start with the old structure demolition and carry out the soil test also.

1 or 2 of the old tenants are still hanging around the premise and we have given them till weekend to move out completely.
