Work still ongoing on the interlocking stones, the ground has been compacted and polythene has been laid on it, and after that sharp sand will be laid on the polythene.

Perimeter wall is also ongoing, we will be taking it up to 12 coaches. We are using 6inches block and will be using the block to brace the wall at 3m intervals to act as columns. This is a cost saving measure once the soil is good.

We are currently testing the eletrical wiring and fittings (switches, sockets, light fittings) to ensure all lights fittings and switches are in sync an ensuring there's no bridging on wires.

The change-over switches have been fixed and the electrical armoured cable has been buried and connected to the PHCN pole.

Well done brother, please how much is interlock Tiles per square meter in surulere area. Thanks.

The one we are using was moulded on request and its N1300/sq.m and I believe that's the prevailing price, but moulding it on request guarantees the quality and strength.

The size of the septic tank is 11ft x 11ft x 11ft while the soak-away is 5ft x 5ft x 6ft. We used 6inches block for the soak-away and will be using 9inches block for the septic tank.

The cost incurred as listed below

1. Digging - N40,000
2. Blockwork, flooring, plastering, reinforced slab cover, columns - N80,000

Septic tank and soak-away work currently ongoing. Running this works simultaneously will help reduce total project timline.

Septic tank and soak-away digging and blockwork is also ongoing.

First floor block work has started in earnest and we will be casting the columns and lintels this week.

Please include material details for the decking.

Thank you

For the first floor suspended floor casting, these are the materials we used

1. 1nos trip of 20tons 3/4 down granite
2. 3nos trip of 10tons sharp sand
3. 80 bags of cement

The casting was done by a team of 16 people and they started at 9:30am and finished by 4:00pm.

Ikorodu is a good choice if you are ready for the long ride to-and-fro the mainland or you are an entrepreneur. You can get land in Ikorodu between N2million to N10million in good locations that are not too far from the major roads (you can get cheaper in some locations too but they might not be your choice).

I know some locations I can ask you to check out which are quite reasonable and have good access roads. Yes, am a architect/builder but am more of an entrepreneur.

Hello, you can get a plot of land in Surulere with an existing property that you can demolish and build on. Budget between N15million to N25million based on accessibility if Surulere is your thing. Getting a plot of land in an estate on the mainland will not come cheap. If you have another location in mind, let me know.

Interlocking stone work in progress, they are taking levels and compacting the ground for the sharp sand and dpm. The ground has already been treated with anti-fungi.

Baseplate foundation footing for the marquee is also in progress, the consultant contracted for the marquee is a brilliant guy and took his time in making sure all the baseplates align properly before we did the casting.

Site visit to Ogbomosho on the 9th - 12th of December. Windows have been fabricated in Lagos and transported down to Ogbomosho. Installation of both casement and sliding windows in progress.

Nice kitchen cabinets.

Thanks for the compliment sir.

External painting of the building has been done, but just one coat for now to give us a feel of what we want. Once all other external works are done, we will apply the finishing coats. The walls were screeded before painting though.

Internal painting is ongoing.

@HajjM, my oga you did not even ask about your humble servant.

Finishing the project has been top priority and we thank God we are about to wrap it up for the year. Much has been achieved and I will update them seperately now.

Staircase and terrace stainless steel balustrade in progress.

The main entrance gate has been delivered and its being fixed.

@drdreluv I will need to see a floor plan atleast, to be able to give you an estimate. Without a floor plan, am either over-quoting for you or under-quoting and that's risky in this construction business.

More pictures, the staircase formwork in progress.

Progress made so far on the first floor suspended slab in the pictures below. We are done with the platform which is ready for the reinforced iron work and the carpenter is on the staircase formwork.
