johnson232:
that means u are going to cast the dpc on top of the ground beam?

yes.

johnson232:
impressive... what abt the rings and rods sizes for the pillars? thanks.

16mm for pillars while the rings are 8mm.

johnson232:
same to u architect.
nice job...
what size of rods did u use for the ground beam?
are u going to add to the four coach before casting dpc?

16mm sized rods was used for the ground beam. we won't add more blocks before casting the German floor because the height above ground is okay as can be seen from the pictures, any more blockwork on top would necessitate building small steps in front of the house which is not desirable to us.

without the floor plan and structural drawing, there's little we can do for you.

femifemo123:
Hello builders in the house! Please I want to know ao much it will cost me to do foundation of a 4 bedroom bungalow. Also I will appreciate if you can provide the list of materials needed and their current prices. Thank you.

paste the floor plan and give the location/soil type.

misleading title.

foundation walls,the internal walls are four blocks high while the external walls are three blocks high, the fourth block on the external walls is a 9"x9" beam used to tie all the pillars on the external walls, it's shown on the pics.

I've just seen a very big fool in you!Even Seun could place a life ban on you because of this statement.In business,there's no sentiment and I know people like you don't have head for business.If all Igbos decide to leave this forum and create a better one,will it be good or bad business for Seun.
Think before you talk.

story to the gods, seun has placed too many of you on life bans already. he has his sentiment and that remains that you can't promote a treasonable biafran agenda on a pro Nigerian forum. thanks for the insult by the way. it shows that the bitter truth i told you really pained welle.

Discipleship:
Pls don't start what you can't finish..

I only told you the bitter truth,deal with it.

all these biafrans here,are you guys not ashamed of yourselves? you're not wanted on this forum yet, you don't want to leave, it makes you guys look like jobless teenagers.

nwanna, kwusi igwa Ndi a ogwu, BIA ka anyi me forum nke anyi ka o di MMA, Ndi Igbo Si Na "Nkem bu Nkem Mana nke anyi bu nke anyi".

more foundation excavation pics

Foundation depth is 1 metre (3ft). the excavation took us more than a week due to the highly stone nature of the terrain, we eventually employed some local women and their children to sieve the sand for smaller stones which is been used as gravel while they pack the larger sized stones on an adjoining plot and hand break it every Saturday for gravel.

Following.. Good luck

thanks bro, more pictures coming soon.

Weedcrusher:
Since you are lazy to do your research, I will take it upon myself to educate you. Benin republic which is nigeria neighboring country is named after bight of Benin found on its coast. The same bight gave name to Benin kingdom in edo state. And for Niger, Niger state and Nigeria, you should know that they are all named after the river Niger. Mention a country in Africa and I promise to give you the origin of the country name that has something to do with such country

But the ish with you guys claiming the name biafra that's not close to your region is a plot to mischievously steal other's land

whether they decide to call themselves biafrans or Japanese is really none of your business. just give them a peaceful referendum.

chairman, you're welcome.

you're all invited to my construction journal www.nairaland.com/2795950/construction-diary-six-units-three

this thread is to document the construction of six units of three bedrooms flats at nkwelle ezunaka,anambra state.
contractor: greenermodels design and build limited
location: nkwelle ezunaka, anambra state
building type: six units of three bedroom flats

pro biafrans don't expect level playing ground on a pro Nigerian forum. you know what to do to have a voice of your own on the net.

mufutau55:
So, if you will never have tiles in your bathroom floor; what do you intend to use on the floors, just bare concrete?

Hajji M.

yes, bare cement plaster on a concrete floor, since tiling of bathroom floors became fashionable in Nigeria, the number of bathroom slip and fall accidents have increased astronomically, i once read somewhere that about one person dies everyday in America from slip and fall on a wet tiles floor.
