abdulwastecx:
without a proper soil test no land or foundation can said to be ok for foundation of a building the reason been that soil exhibit lot of complex properties.

soil text may not be recommended for small building project like yours but sufficient depth of atleast 600mm is recommended for a bungalow built with load bearing partition wall.

soil within abuja and its environs has high clay contents, during the raining season, the soil closer to the ground exhibit wetness because the clay doesn't allow the water to sink down into the ground ( creating a fadama kind of ground). During the dry season the soil quickly dries up to give an impression of solid soil or ground for foundation.

Thanks sir. You are on point

@op please how much did you spend for excavation and what is the cost of 9inch and 6inch of block in nigeria. Please I like to know the cost of a trip of sand and gravel as well. Thanks

Excavation = N30,000
9" Blocks = N135
6" Blocks = N120
Trip of sand = N15,000
Trip of gravel = N35,000. This is the quote the site Engineer got for me.

Please note that this is not fixed, as it depends on location and your bargaining power also...

MANGAM:
This house is coming out nicely Daviejay.

Thanks my Oga. I'm really encouraged. God bless you.

What came to mind immediately I saw the plan was captured in ihebrooke's post.
Natural lighting and ventilation are key in making a space functional... you should ideally swap the positions of the rooms and bathrooms.
All the best.

Thank you Sir. Well noted.

The Site Engineer says the foundation level is ok for an upland.

Good day All! WORK IN PROGRESS. Getting more blocks. blinding is activated. Help us O God!
