Bros. Supply me in Port Harcourt nah. 60 tons of granite.... Do you supply in PH

Nice for him. Enjoy your love life Mr Ye

5m is a princely sum to lintel level without columns. The foundation much have been a challenge right? Neat work. Well done.

Foundation alone took about 4.5M due to two beams in the foundation and the challenged face with the foundation. Paid more for labour dues to the soil falling back into he dug foundation. Here is breakdown for the foundation as spent. The blockwork to lintel took about 685K

bixton:
Very nice brotherly.
Good output.
Are you saying all works done from excavation till present pix, the cost is around the amount as posted?

Yes. I can share the breakdown.

More pictures. The client wanna stop at lintel level. And progress in January.

More pictures

bixton:
Good Morning.
Nice to hear from you. Construction work is a challenge and it takes great courage from both the client and engineer to play their roles efficiently as best they could.
Please try to give us little feedback as the job progresses.
Nice work, keep it up.
Thanks and God bless.

I really love to give feed back to the house on the progress of the job and construction.
In the last 16days. This was what was achieved . From foundation to lintel level. The client has decided to pause till January 2019. Also if it permited by Hajji. I will share the cost of foundation as spent. But in total the stage the house has gotten to has consumed a little above 5M.

Hajivince:
I would like to advise u sir, A little soil test & a little investigation of the Natural Flood plain of that area might have saved you a lot dah u have spent on this foundation. A simple Pad, Strap or Raft might have been the result of the soil test or @ worse deep foundation. Bare eyes can't determine the strength of an Homogeneous material. Soil test could have saved u the stress of going through this much. I always advise soil test.

Thank you bros. A soil test was carried out. The recommendations were very straight forward.
1. Raft foundation highly recommended or
2. A pad footing with 2 tie beams.

And aftet analysis from 2 of the best structural engineers here. I decided to go for this type of foundation.

bixton:
Good Day
I'd very much appreciate what foundation type you'll settle for when this project commences.
Please be kind to fill us in.
Thanks.

Good morning. Am back again to give feed back. We discussed this project alot concerning the foundation. So after proper analysis by the structural engineer and other input from engineers here. we eventual settled for pad footung with two underground beam. A lower tie beam and upper tie beam. Although as someone (aventure) suggested, the soil is a loose soil so we had great challengea of backfilling. It was a great challebge. So we have to employ the service of labourers that will continously pack and clean the backfilled sand.
At the moment, the underground beam has been done...

Fake News network....... Media and incomplete story..... Nigeria with oil based economy cannot afford to let 550,000 bpd down the drain like that. When even the government dont pay pension and gratuity of ex-service men and people that have worked for them for over 30 decade. which mouth them get to tell IOCs what to do. Welcome to the Jungle called Nigeria.

Expert advise needed !!

I would be traveling to Texas (USA) next month and would be there till December for delivery. And I’m traveling along with my children (2years and 10 years old) If I decide to put my children in their public schools for the duration of my stay, would that affect my next US visa application ? Would they refuse to grant me another visa ?

Thanks for your anticipated response.

Are your children Missionary Kids? If they are Missionary kids you really dont have anything to worry about. If they are not you might just need to ensure you follow the requirements of the school for foreigners/international students. But generally, I dont think its really an issue that will affect your visa renewal

waiting patiently for 5 bedroom duplex with two lounge and Student Hostels

ok. Noted

This is a welcome development for a good trade exchange with china. Although this may affect our economy as we will further kill our industries and prefer to import from China instead of revamping our manufacturing sector. That being said, it is good for those that import from china.

you will need to give location .

Port Harcourt

Good Morning everyone,

I am planning to carry out bore hole drilling by this weekend. I will like to get information for the type (Brand) and capacity of pumping machine suitable for a private/personal 5 bedroom duplex in woji area of Port Harcourt. Please kindly help me with this information as it will help with negotiation.

Thank you for your anticipated experienced responses

i am done with all those, have gotten my building permits, both state n obiakpor, just dont trust the govt soil test, thats why am considering doing another private one, thnks all the same for the heads up

Thank you for the response. Please kindly feed the house back if the result from the Independent Soil test is different from the one recommended by the state government.

Thank you in advance.

FADEO:
Thank you so much for you great insight and indepth knowledge that has been expressed here

Its better you go to the ministry of Urban and Regional Planning (TOWN PLANNING) on moscow road. they will give you a reference to on of the state registered Geotechnics. The soil test will be done for you for about 50K if not in a waterlogged environment. If you bring result from someone not registered witht he state. The result will be rejected during you State government approval process. Am talking from experience Cos i just did my soil test on the 15th of July in Woji area of Port Harcourt.

I have gone through the soil test report and here are my observations.
1. soil safe bearing capacity of 100kN/m2 gotten from the soil test report using Terzaghi bearing capacity equation is adequate to carry an isolated pad footings
2. the water level is 3.6m below the existing ground level at the pick of raining reason will have little effect on the settlement pattern of such footing
3. A settlement value of 85mm gotten through the consolidation test is okay for an isolated pad base for the proposed foundation
4. From the soil test, the site was also observed to be above the road level, hence the ground floor level don't need to necessarily be too higher than the NGL. Also, the runoff value shows that the site is not prone to flooding, this also helps to reinforce the need to have a very high ground floor level.
5. Finally, a suitable bearing capacity occurs between 1m to 3m below the NGL, hence the depth of the foundation can be located with this dept (preferable at 1.5m below the NGL)

Here is my conclusion:
To get the most cost-effective and safe foundation,
1. A preliminary load estimation of the superstructure should be carried out to determine the expected superstructure load coming into the foundation through the columns ( this load should also include the ground floor walls)
2. A preliminary area of the pad footings should be estimated, from P/Q (P = unfactored superstructure load, Q= safe bearing capacity)
3. A grade beam of 300mm thick should be proposed to tie/link or the foundation columns at the ground level, this will also help to carry the ground floor walls ( this should be a preliminary depth, which should be subjected to further analysis and design according to relevant codes and literature
4. the foundation level should be raised to not more than 750mm above the ground level since the NGL is already higher than the road level and the site is not prone to flooding. This can be done by adding 2 courses of block to the grade beams and a DPC thickness of 150mm after the two blocks.
5. The depth of the pad footings should be not less than 1.2m, preferably 1.5m below ground level.

Note NGL= natural ground level
DPC = damp proof course/ german floor

Thank you so much for you great insight and indepth knowledge that has been expressed here

Good day knowledgable people, I want some clarifications. I carried out soil test to certify the kind of foundation to be done. The result cam out as SBC (Safe Bearing Capacity) is 100KN/m. The recommendation from the result is to have pad Foundation with underground beam but was also stated that Raft Foundation is highly recommended. My civil/structural engineer was of the opinion that i we can have PAD FOUNDATION with Chained underground beam with one board, Continue with 9" block work to 0.9m and then finalize with one board of chained beam before the slab (german floor is casted)

The building involve here is a 5 bedroom duplex.

Please i need opinions on this based on experience.

Thank you all

Just Curious... what do u mean these are not precast but are permanently made?

Architects in the house,

Please whats the difference between ARCON certificate and Architect Practicing Licences?

Ministry of Urban in PH is requesting for Architect Practicing Licences but my architect says he will get me ARCON certificate instead.

what stage is this project now?

Hello, happy fathers day to you. I need to do soil test and borehole in my plot of Land in PH. Please do you do around the nation and what is the price range for the soil test

what is the process of doing a soil test and i need a good and reliable engineer to carry out the soil test for me in Port Harcourt
