Jamesqu: Not at all, though it is unreasonable for a contractor to eat into his profit but it is not unreasonable for me to hear it from you .

Regards to madam and the little girl.
From the bolded I can deduce he has been in doing so in the past. But I hope your client will appreciate this very kind gesture.

milehigh06: this is really disturbing....this new has been confirmed to be false and still yet people are praising what did not happen...What is going on in this country that we are just stuck on deception and corruption.....why are we still celebrating a false story...dont get me wrong,the schools being able to do what they did is highly commendable but when we go about claiming what we are not and have not achieved we give credence to the hype that Nigeria is a country filled up with fraudsters..

segcymoor: And regarding cost implications . ordinarily piling is quite costly than raft. However, our client has limited budget so we are looking at how to do better foundation (piling) with figures not too far from initial quote. ........e no easy o

Chekitaut: await, i pray the client adopt the option...because many client(s) do not like to hear pile.
I wouldn't think the client has a choice here unless he wants to build a bungalow. From a close scrutiny of the photos, I think that is why there are more bungalows than storey buildings around the site.
PropertiesRe: PILE FOUNDATION FOR TERRACE BUILDING AT LEKKI by cleric(m):
segcymoor: Absolutely! However, for that to work we need 2 options:
1-To excavate all building area with depth of 2.7m. So 2.7m in addition to 1.5m to road level. Odd!
2-To excavate all building area and back fill with sharp sand to natural ground level then proceed with normal 5 board.
However, any attempt to adopt any this option is to create a 'swimming pool' here because the water level here is quite high.

Hence the best and most safe and economic methods:short bore pile!
This is serious but in the end, one has to do what has to be done otherwise the options are to either sell the land or risk other peoples' lives and the funds invested in the development the property because sooner or later, the lapses will begin to show.

PropertiesRe: PILE FOUNDATION FOR TERRACE BUILDING AT LEKKI by cleric(m):
segcymoor: Anyway as scheduled we conduct the soil test and investigation as schedule and behold the result make me afraid because within the area was raft foundation done but I tell you the best and safe foundation to adopt for this particular project is nothing but PILE!
.....it was revealed that 1.2m we assume safe is not good enough. The safe bearing capacity for this site is 2.7m
Hmmmm....this is interesting. So even an inverted "T" with broad base will not suffice? embarassed . We are talking lots of money here because I assume you will need a minimum of 9 columns of pile.

segcymoor: To start with:Intend to conduct soil test and investigation.
The problem with this particular site is that about 1.2m top soil below natural ground level is mud .and we intend to do 1.5m height foundation considered road level
Wow, okay, let's wait for the report of the soil test (I know most clients will not want to hear about soil test including me grin ). Wishing you all the best.

Well, as much as I understand you, I however still think that was a very heavy statement. When it comes to matters of the ministers of God, we need to be cautious.

I hope so. I am learning a lot from the threads especially from spyder, aventure,skimanski, and the owner of this thread. Mufutau's comments on most threads also helps.

spyder880: I can vouch for the depth of expertise this guy can bring to the construction business. This is one of my people in PH. There are a couple of young builders I can surety their services in Port Harcourt and this guy is one of them. The other will hit nairaland soon.

Please let him handle your building and I will be around to make sure everything goes smooth as usual. At a point in ones life, you have to cede some ground for your boys coming up, this guy is good.
Very strong recommendation.

segcymoor: Will get back to you soon. ....on the hot sit at the moment!
From the subsequent pictures, I have seen the answer to questions 2 and 3 already unless ofcourse you just want to throw more light. I am quite curious about the difference between swampy and water logged.
I remember that either you or aventure mentioned that there are more challenges with erecting a building in places like gbagada and maryland than most parts of Lekki. I am still trying to get my head around that. cheesy.

segcymoor: DAY 1:aggressive pumping in progress
That is quite some water.

Question time:

1. Does the fence have a raft base? I ask this because it is obvious the area is prone to flood.

2. Any idea of the level of the compound to the near by road? I mean is it higher or lower?

3. Is dere an access road to the site? I mean will it be possible to drop your utilities directly on the site?

PoliticsRe: Jonathan Calls Sawyer 'Crazy Man' For Travelling When Sick With Ebola by cleric(m):
ilugunboy: Yes I agreed with the President wholeheartedly.....the moddafuckkeer is worse than a crazy man.
As much as I agree with the president, the Liberian government is at fault for not blacklisting Ebola patients from travel without further clearance as well as for not monitoring him properly when they knew he had intentions to travel. Well, knowing the Liberians, they have serious inferiority complex to the white skinned man as well as to any black man holding an American passport so I am not surprised he was just allowed to walk through their airport.
