You need to go and do a soil test and you need a good Structural Designs of that place.

By the way, what type of structure are you putting on top of that place

Thanks for your response. 4 bedroom bungalow.

My question please, if you dig the ground for up to 6 feet on my site, you will have a normal well full of water. How can I go about my foundation in such a land? Not a wetland really. Please I need urgent answer because work will start soon.

Hi good people, my site is close to water. Do I need foundation beam or I should just do my normal foundation and put membrane before German floor?

Anti business Nigerian govt.

Dstv subs in Nigeria are the lowest in Africa.

So the only reason, they put the law was because of startimes a govt company.

They want to collect things for free without paying.

Socialist government, that is why this country will be forever poor.

I want to know oo... Is Mi9T the same phone as Redmi Note 9? If it isn't please I want suggestions, which is better to get... Mi9T or Redmi Note 9 (Pro)

They are not the same. I personally prefer mi 9T because it is AMOLED and it is a random phone. Redmi note 9 pro will be outdated in 6 months time when redmi note 10 pro will be released. I use mi 9 lite

I heard that customs has started charging exorbitant fees for phones from AliExpress. Some talked about how thetcharged him ₦15000 for a phone of ₦100,000. Is it true? I am presently expecting mi note 10 lite no o

Using SE as an example
one bag of cement gives solid 30 pieces of 9 inches blocks

Ten bags of cement would be 300 blocks

Compared to ready made block industry one 9 inches block which is sold at #180 each. 300 blocks are; #180 x 300 = #54000


Now to make 300 blocks,

10 bags of cement including transportation is about #26500
one trip of sand (small tripper) is #15000
Labor is #900 per bag , 10 bags would be 900 x 10 = 9000
Water #3000
Total # #53000

9" is ₦230 from the factory now oga. 6" is ₦170. Price is sharp sand in my area is ₦11000

Read and understand.

Ok boss

The total cost of the foundation is N1,660,835
The cost will be less if the size of the building is smaller than this one.

Are you building 10 beddroom bungalow or what? How can foundation gulp 1.6m?

We're still in the business of making new blocks daily. We are molding these blocks in our new site which we started work on this week.

If you know that you are tight on budget, use hand to mold your blocks. This is what most people here want to hear because oga Spyder himself used hand mold blocks.

spyder880:
It's cheaper to mold blocks manually, its good to mold blocks manually only if you can ensure the quality of your blocks are better than the ones made in block industries.

The advantages of factory blocks are the relative uniformity in production, ease of purchase and timeliness of delivery. In fact, convenience.

Thank you my boss

Brave to all our great builders in the house. Please is it good to mould blocks manually? What are the advantages of the factory blocks over the blocks moulded manually?

Hi Bro,
As I had explained to you, the number of bags used during the blinding stage was accurate as I witnessed its usage. My blinding thickness was about 9 inches to 12 inches depending on the topography of the blinded area. I also want to say that I don't see it as a waste, it's my house and the best is what I want.

As it relates to setting of blocks, 1 bag of cement don't set 80 blocks, 1 bag of cement will set between 50 to 55 blocks.

All the best bro.

Thanks for your response. I actually got here before we discussed on WhatsApp. Thanks for your time.

Oga Spyder, well-done.

Boss, money spent in some of these stages are too much o. How come they used 30 bags of cement in blinding and still used another 30 bags of cement for foundation block setting? I thought they usually use 1 bag of cement to set 80 blocks.

Madam, you dey craze o. Me as a husband no dey check my wife phone talkless of emails. You get issues o walahi. Na you dey find trouble for yourself.

Waiting for your feedback on parapet quotation for this plan

Hi bro. Thanks for sharing your building plan here. I have chosen your floor plan for my building. Please, do you still have a space that can accommodate 2 bed room flat at the end of your building after the foundation? The reason I asked this question is because I am using this your plan straight away and it seems that the building is long. Thanks once again.

Tchew!!! Kikikikikikik, hahahaha, I dey laugh in Akoko. Biafra cannot work. Igbo=hate.

FFK wants Shekau dead so that he won't mention names of those who sponsor his activities...Jerry Gana and co comes to mind.If it means signing a deal to free him and capture the bigger fish then so be it.Shekau is a small fish in the pond,and can be replaced.What is needed are the big guns,the godfather,the sponsors.

That's true, in terms of revenue generation, Rivers state generates more more than Lagos State, so why should Rivers state not be given grants, or is Buhari waiting for the cases to get up to fifty before responding?
