The design of a structure must satisfy three basic requirements, even while at that, it shouldn't impede the asthesics of the structure

Stability
To prevent overturning, sliding or buckling of the structure, or parts of it, under the action of loads,

Strength
To resist safely the stresses induced by the loads in the various structural members; and

Serviceability
To ensure satisfactory performance under service load conditions – which implies providing adequate stiffness and reinforcements to contain deflections, crack-widths and vibrations within acceptable limits, and also providing impermeability and durability (including corrosion-resistance), etc.

I will pay for 65blocks only.
That has been the agreement with my bricklayer.
Wow
Well I guess you have fixed bricklayers you work with even outside you locality.....
However in brick laying, laying header's are more difficult than stretcher's..

Now on a lighter note, ensure you are always on site o less you come back and see something like this grin

I came here to CHEKITAUT on new development only to find out that people are shouting BACK2SENDER. I'm beginning to feel SOMEHOW especially about the persistent EARTHQUAKE2 in this thread as it's becoming increasingly difficult to get new knowledge here except you scan through in DENNIS3D. Even THATHISTORYGUY cannot keep tab of happenings here again. This use to be a GLORYHOUSE where you get ideas. Great gees like SPYDER880 hardly visit here anymore.

Since MUFUTAU55 is not moderating as expected I may have to inform a good friend to advice EXPLORERS to ALWAYSREWARD only those who contribute positively. ONE4ME, I have taken it in GOODFAITH. No need to frequent this thread again except if KOLASHANGONE will strike them down for PEACE12345 to RAIN04. This is not only about FUTURISM but also a way to SAYDFACT.

For those looking for CHIEFSUPPLIER55, you don't need to go far. There are still good ones here. FASTSHIPPING is possible only when MONEY121 is paid trustworthy merchant. Spend your money wisely, money is not TISSUEPAPER. Not after you have been conned you come and form TALIBAN here. This is not GIST4KIDSBLOG.

Please let's maintain the focus of this thread. It's not for calling out contract defaulters.
Genuis... Thumps up

But I don't know how you need to do it, I think roteech77 the great mediator name should come in at some point wink

My brother I don’t think you can get this done in 2-3weeks in Nigeria.
Don’t forget the building is at lintel stage.

Can you achieve these in the said time.

. Block settings to the final level.
. Concrete facial (optional)
.Roof cacas .
.Roof covering.
. Plastring in and out.
.Electrical work
.plumbing work
Burglary bars, doors, window
.pop or any ceiling work.
. Screeding. (Optional)
.Tiling
.All external work I.e suck away, septic tank, bore hole, compound flooring, fencing and many more.
70% of what you mentioned here can actually be done simultaneously


I still maintain my stance, that with favourable weather conditions and the right fund, it can be done in 3weeks smiley


Ideally, how long does it take to erect a bungalow from scratch to finish?

Even if it's a storey building that requires concretes, admixtures can be introduced, what I am saying in essence is, things can really be fast tracked if the client have the fund, if for instance naturally you are using 3 Mason's and 2 labour's, for more productivity it can be increased to 6 masons etc. It just might not be economical, but it is achievable

Sometime ago here on nairaland, a popular nairaland engineer built a storey building in about a month.

Happy new month sir smiley

I was developing a three bedroom and a two bedroom apartment on the same plot of land sometime ago but stopped because the person overseeing it was siphoning funds.

I have decided to travel down to oversee things myself during my annual leave. How much work can be realistically done in two weeks? Both buildings are at lintel level(lintel has been done)
If your funds are right, you can get to turn key stage in 2 or max 3 weeks

Bankyshinani:
I don't understand what you mean by placing hardcore
Hardcores are large aggregate's or simply put crushed stones like your normal granite, but this time in bigger size.

Although somepersons use broken bricks/blocks rumble for hardcores.

Generally hardcores provide strength to foundation, and most be systematically placed for evenness.

Bankyshinani:
what about a building in which the block setting has been completed to lintel level,can I still sandfill it at this point and how good will the compacting be?
thanks
Nothing can replace anything that is properly done, however if your soil is relatively stable and not prone to water problems, you can go ahead and compact it well, if possible place hardcores, then floor

Good day friends, here is a 3 bedroom flat and 2 room and parlour self contained foundation as shown in the picture.
Filling is on going presently, next after that is the setting of the blocks to the final level.
My enquires are;
How many blocks will it required?
How many bag of cement and cost of sand (mind you, there will be 15 pillars)?
Can it later be floored after block setting, mind you, am using 9 inches block all through?
Thanks in anticipation.
It is better to get things done properly now that you are still in this stage....

Doing your German floor now will save you from lot of headache later

From experience here are some advantages we have noticed German flooring have over normal flooring

1) German floor is also part of the foundation, it should be seen as a structural elements that makes your house to stand. Loads transmitted from the building is recieved by the German floor before transferring to the foundation

2)German floor stops the upward movements of water from the soil into your building. I am sure you wouldn't want your walls to be damp or see algae grow on it.

Lastly, oversite concrete can Serve as a breaking point when there is a non major crack to the wall, it prevents this crackline from getting to the foundation.

About the cost estimate, you will have to provide the plan as that will serve as basis for the estimation

I don’t reside in Nigeria, therefore I was not there to know the type of soil used or what was done during the construction. As for the engineer, he is no longer building for me, so I can’t reach him to get the answers.
Well
The situation can still be savaged if you are sure the foundation was done properly. Just employ the service of a very good engineer or an experienced builder to help you..

These are what you should look out for and ensure its perfectly done.

1) Break the entire floor if need be.
Import and place laterite, then ram, ram, ram and ram, if possible get a compacting machine for better compaction.

2) introduce brc wiremesh
3) To avoid upward movements of water, introduce damproving membrane
4) let your engineer try not to be economical about the oversite concrete, it should have a thickness of at least 100mm eventho 150 is preferable.
Then they should use the correct concrete mix

Moreso if it is a storey building get a structural design, as all this details are spelt out therein as guides to whosoever that's supervising

Hey guys, I have a house that’s currently under construction. It is past decking level, but we started to notice some holes on the German floor. What could be the cause of these concrete collapse? Is it an indication of foundation problem? How can it be corrected.
Someone said the floor is not German grin, it's italic (that's on a lighter note tho)


Now consigning your oversite concrete (German floor)
I think you or your engineer should answer this questions, because therein lies your answer

1) was the soil underneath or the soil used to fill the dpc laterite? Because what I am seeing here (I might be wrong tho, is loose peat soil). The importance of using laterites for filling can not be overemphasized.

2) was the filling compacted enough to be able to sustain and carry the compressive load of concrete coming on it (this i obviously doubt)

3)Let even assume that the first two was done properly, where is the brc wire mesh, that is supposed to be introduced because I arnt seeing any traces.
Simple, wire mesh are always very important because, it provides tensile strength to supplement concrete's compressive strength

4) Did you follow the right mix ratio for the oversite concrete
