Except for soak away, there's a level to which you can excavate the peats. Building is a science that evolves with time thus birthing new techniques and methods for construction. I have said this for the umpteenth time, Lagos Island and part of the mainland that are swampy should embark on PILING+RAFTING in construction. Any other method can be applied but at the discretion of a professional engineer. Think Safety, Build safely. Have a wonderful day.

Morning, Congratulations on your purchase. Welcome to the league of LANDLORDS. ½plot of land could be alot depending on it's location. ½plot can be used for several things such as residential building(duplex and bungalow), commercial building(shopping complex, bars, restaurant) public building(church and mosque). My advise will be on the premise of knowing the location of your land and WHY YOU BOUGHT IT. There's so much you can do with ½plot of land.

Linda Ikeji's apartment is sitted on a ½plot of land(unconfirmed).

Wonderful

The Ooni of Ife is humble man. His demureness is unequalled. However the Ooni must learn to sit on his throne. Over familiarity causes negligence and dereliction. I mean no harm.....thinking aloud

Too bad....this is just beginning, Today's children know far more than you do.

Any land you buy today will be worth millions tomorrow.

In depends on the kind of job you're searching for; most corporate and commercial jobs are in Lagos while government jobs are in Abuja.

ThankGod nobody was hurt.

Causes of Building collapse
– Poor service delivery by supervising Engineer or contractors

– Sub-Standard Building Materials

– Illegal Conversion/Alterations/Additions to Existing Structures

– Structural Defects

– Inadequate inspection and monitoring units.

– Use of Inexperience Engineers

– Non-Compliance with Specifications/Standards by Developers/Contractors

– Natural factors i.e. earthquake, tsunami, flood

– Faulty Construction Methodology

– Dilapidating Structure

– Defective Reinforcements Design

The building shown by OP may have collapsed due to poor structural design and execution, this is because of the point of defect. There seems to be a long span beam which isn't properly supported whilst carrying additional slab load . That section of the building was not properly reinforced thus it collapsed. The state of ground floor shows that the foundation was properly reinforced. In conclusion, people should involve professionals when embarking on a building project, it will save you money, time and stress in the future.

Real Estate development is booming around that axis.

21.) More than 21,000 will be employed @ the refinery, you can imagine it's effect on the economy.

Seriously?

FastShipping:


Don't be shocked to know that it cost a lot cheaper to have Lafarge or other cement/concrete supply companies supply concrete to your site. Our people are still stuck in 17th century mind set. I asked a popular engineer here if he was aware that companies bring ready mixed concrete to the site, I was shocked he wasn't aware. The person actually said such service can only happen in America but he was shocked when I told him I first saw such thing happened in Abuja in 1997.

Great idea, I'll definitely give it a second thought.

Points raised are applicable to rural areas. What is the essense of working hard if you can't build and live in a beautiful home? Even God himself loves beautiful homes thus gold and sapphire are materials used for building mansions in heaven. OP please don't take us back to 1570s, Nigeria is currently setting the pace in the construction industry. What do you tell a client who has a piece of land on the Iagos Island? If people were to adhere to your advice I wonder the kind of houses we'll be building.

There seems to be some disagreement amongst us the Engineers here. I'll like to state that there's no One-method to build a house especially with regards to structural detailing. We must at all times be open to learn new things, no one is a monopoly of building. Same method, same result. Different method, different result. @ OP, I still don't believe that someone can build on sandy soil without excavating, but however I was forced to study the method you stated. Assuming the foundation is properly chained with a beam there might be no differential settlement especially if the building is a bungalow or simple duplex with a negligible dead load. But I sincerely doubt that any Engineer no matter how quack will apply this method for High-rise building. What ever you do never forget the CLIENT is FIRST.

Very sad. I'm more saddened as an Engineer who has had several experiences on site. This issue shouldn't be taken lightly, it's making a mess of Lagos. I had a client whom I developed a property for in Lekki, these so called Omoniles kept disturbing her until she finished"our" project. I said "our" because anytime I design or build houses for people, I take it to heart. When some of the Omoniles sell land to people, the come back to make outrageous demands; the charge for development, the charge for building materials e.t.c This shouldn't be a norm. It's really frustrating you know.

Everyone is suddenly a builder and a quantity surveyor. How we unprofessionally come up with these estimates amazes me. I have built many houses and still building houses for several clients on Nairaland here, I'll never give an estimate without considering the following factors;
Building plan
Site Location
Type of soil
Cost of labour in that area
Cost of supervision
Cost of building material in that area e.t.c
The cost of the house I built in Lekki-Ajah was different from that which I built in Enugu. Similar building, different cost. Ajah was swampy whilst Enugu was very dry. In order to give you a proper estimate, you need to state the aforementioned factors. I wish you good speed.
