Blinding / pad foundation casting

Before I proceed, I must say this, if you are purchasing a land, please try as much as possible not to get one that’s on a sloppy ground.

That only can shot up your project (foundation cost) by 25%

Borehole drilling

Not armed with geotechnical test result, when we got to site, we already assumed by visualization based on the topology of the land, that we will be needing a boring machine for the borehole.

Long story cut short, in few hours we had our borehole hand drilled with clean water gushing.

Cement
Sand
Granite
Reinforcement
All received and we are set

Okay sir

Materials are been supplied

Site Analysis

The site we inherited is one that had an existing structure, (4 bedrooms bungalow) but since our client cannot ascertain the quality of materials used by the previous owner, the option of conversion was thrown out.

And our first task is to bring down the old structure .

It is also worthy of note that the land is really a sloppy one.

Reeefe:
I have an observation I want to know more about our bathroom plans in 9ja. most houses with bathroom n toilet space of about 4ft by 8ft usually rectangular. like putting the wc toilet at the end and then putting the shower in the middle and the washing hand basin in the beginning. main while. it's actually better to put the shower at the end wc in the middle and washing hand basin at the beginning, this model makes it possible to either install a glass or shower curtain to separate the shower area but it rarely done that way. IS THERE A JUSTIFICATION OR REASON FOR THAT?

Just like other have pointed out, it based on clients choice, But typically a Wc is around 2ft, if placed at the middle you have 2ft left, Now consider someone sitting on the closet leaning forward while pressing his/her phone( which most people actually do ,) the space left will be so small that you will be having this choked up feeling because of the closeness of the wall in your front.

I recently worked with a client that told me that he gets irritated if his leg touches the water closet. Placing it at the middle will kinda impede passage.

Also remember that placing your wc at the middle will mean longer piping, Albeit if not place in correct gradient frequent clogging may occur

Lastly, placing your WC at the far end by the window gives your small bathroom this illusion of bigger space.

The middle space can better serve as a laundry space, remember not all apartments have a laundry space, people typically wash in their bathrooms
