Lateral support | My concern

The walls of the foundation of a building should have horizontal lateral supports to restrict movement of the wall at right angles to its plane.
This helps to transfer lateral forces from walls to buttressing walls.

Think of this as a slab, will you be comfortable to place your slab on the block walls. What about shear? The filling go support am beneath? I've once shared a video of what happened beneath a slab within one year after Sandfilling.

A beam round the foundation helps distribute the load without worries and also firmly secure the columns to prevent wall from failure at the right angles. This may not be a fix for the immediate but for the future.

Also, I'll suggest horizontal partition for every 36m² to help prevent the floor slab from caving in. Breaking large cells into smaller partition helps the floor. Me think 32ft cell is too wide.

I completely agree with you Mr. Brabus.

Double wall and capping beam was used at my project at Lugbe, Abuja. The approach portion of the building was about 6-7 coaches high due to the slopy terrain of the site and the closeness to a small stream, so we used a double wall on all the front perimeter, part of the left and right side perimeter and some internal walls, and then tied the columns in foundation with a capping beam on top of the double wall. We also filled the double walls with weak concrete & broken blocks.

It made the foundation cost much more but just like you said, its better to get it right from the onset than doing maintenance/corrective measures later.

Oga Olu, how come I do not have you in my contact? Your details bro.

Me, I no get silver spoon nor golden plates for mouth and hand. Na kaku we kaku everything. So I cannot afford to redo anything.

If I had to redo my foundation in a place like Lagos or Abuja, men na money be that. So, I carefully choose site. I first used grader and roller to level/compact the sloping site for two days before excavation. Someone else would have done cut and fill which is equally good but what compacts the excavated soil is the difference.

I also have option of playing around with different levels but I ended up doing only 6" step down from the guest area to the family area. I no fit dey climb stairs when I'm old.

Lastly, the option to do a ground beam was unanimously decided on site because I'm in building too close to a stream and (2) because of lateral pressure when ponding and compacting the fills; (3) there's constant blasting of limestone at least twice a day in my area.
I just asked the guys to buy pako, iron rods, cement and shaperly, shaperly we raft the foundation at the back to the left and right side of the building.
Interestingly, a part of the raft bulged out. I quickly put my creative sense to work and turn it into a flower trough.

Hello house,

Please i need your opinion about the exterior designs or sculpture work on the corners of buildings.

I seem to regard them as trendy and with time they'll fade out and make your building look old.
What do you think about them?

See pictures below for better understanding.

That's quoin. Yea, it's trending for now. If it goes out of fashion, you can easily chip it off and follow the trending style.

It's unlike having a parapet over your structure which is near impossible to remove.

If the POP hasn't been done, the carpenter should get some strong 2 x 4 to redesign that space. I just discuss similar thing with another client 2 days ago. His thought is different. He said as an electrical engineer, a n.aked live wire won't be a bad idea in such area or barb wire. grin

I was only referring to main entrance only. I'm looking at the plan, I think you should have come up WITH THE IDEA to deck just this part so that the bugler won't break in from outside into the first living room. Look at the first pic I tagged "the fix"

Burglar wey go try you go down sign death warrant o. But I think you're very right. I thought the parapet will prevent such, I've forgotten there's still an access to the living room from the porch.

I've already taken note of that. Nice pop work in the hallway.

The fix...extra six couches of blocks on added before P.O.P.

Baba, o ti pe gan o. It's seems you've forgotten the plan. First the design had only slab in the middle which is exactly the area decked. Then you'll remember you exploring the option of having a room in the roof to do your thing.

Good job all the way. Wishing you a prosperous new year 2016. More cement and mortar to your project.

It has already been confirmed as FAKE at Alausa, in fact no record of it and anyone who has been approval done within a week or so with no record or receipts, please let me know.
How come there is no receipt of payment to Lagos state government.
You still think one is a fool, I have dealt with Lagos state matters for a while and i know the drill, I have asked you for receipts for how many months now. Opeyemi the guy whom you gave me his details already know its fake and was trying to persuade me that he will do me a permit letter. All of which I do not need.

So I dont know why you are coming here trying to pull a wool over my eyes, do you think you are talking to an illiterate ??

Now you see this is exactly what led us here in the first place. Your thought process is clouded with too much negatives.

Why not look at it from this angle? I want us to both meet the guy (both of us knew him, even though I introduced him to you) to prove that the document is real or fake. If it is confirmed fake, I can ask him for a refund of money paid to him and ask him why he did that.

We've never had the opportunity to speak with together. Not even on a conference call. But if we choose to take things physical, we will definitely know the truth.

That helps me and it also helps you recover your money. Maybe I'm soft in my approach. But here I am, I am peace loving person who do not believe in violent approach to conflict resolution.

20 minutes meeting with Opeyemi will save us all this back and forth on Nairaland. I'm sorry if you think you're been ignored. I do not have much energy like yours o.

Well knowing to be careful with your choice of words is a bit late now, what I need is a settlement as I already told you.

Settlement at Lagos State Approval office which is just a walking distance from your house or nothing else. Once it's confirmed fake, your fund will be instantly credited to your account. Then you can buy me the much needed vodka of peace.

I'm available next week Tuesday (afternoon). You don't have to burn so much energy to do that.

Been careful with choice of word is just a note of caution. We don't want to be answerable for things we knoweth nothing about.

Well.

Here is the situation of things, you complained to me that approval people were disturbing on site all the time etc. You gave me the impression that you were providing me with a genuine approval, and I made it clear that this was someone you would be responsible for. Now you are telling me to meet you at some bullshit office!!!

Now people owed an amount like this in Nija, there are various ways to get the money or at least some of it, remember I know where you live.
Now, what I am doing is trying the peaceful option first, nothing concern me with police, they have told me they would take 10% of the money etc. I have been told other options who would take around 10 - 20 % as well and i can be rest assured the result will be quicker, what I am doing now is keeping my cards close to my chest.

As per the approval, can we meet on Tuesday morning? The approval office is just 800m walk from your house and 1.5km from NextHome H52. I want to go and fight dirty over the fake approval right before you. Lagos State Approval office is in for trouble next Tuesday.

Your arrogance stinks like a bad fart, am sure you have been told this numerous times.

For as long as we want to remain in business, there'll always be people to apologize to because we are first human.

However, building as we have it is onerous task that requires thousands of decisions to be made. We are yet to develop that perfect system where everything will be hitch free. People can break down just as machines can develop fault. The good supplier can delay and all good plans fail as a result of too many dependencies. Even clients expectation can be cut short because are imperfect.

The best thing we can do this season is to apologize for those mistakes and learn from them.

No, you don't have to do that. Mr Mavverick already agreed to amicable settlement if I can meet his terms of settlement. Which means vodka can still surface.
