I have always said that the young men and women are the proper set that can head Nigeria in the right direction if given the chance. If you had left without giving him the chance, he would not have been able to show you the more effective design appropriate for this site. I'm a Civil Engineer too. Piling is the best foundation design for wet land period. I feel sorry for Lekki corridor each time I see how their foundationsite are being built.

Thanks for the encomium.

Hi Frankpiska

Thanks for your enquiry.

I am a regular visitor to Nairaland but today I decide to sign up to express my pleasure at the effort of a Nairaland Engineer to help me manage my project finance prudently.

Some time ago, I was looking through the property section and came across a comment by a certain Engr. Osaz of Heavens Contractors Ltd (username: jeftalene). The name of the firm got me tho. I extracted his mobile no. & called his attention to my proposed project at Isheri-North GRA.

Interestingly, he was handling a project in that area too, so he asked that we meet on site. I got there without informing him that I was around, just to do my due diligence. The workmen confirmed that the gentleman coordinating them was Engr. Osaz so I simply stayed afar off and watched. Just one young chap probably in his mid or late 20s. I almost underrated him and take my leave but on a second look, I was very pleased with the maturity at which he managed the site. No noise, no quarrels, no untoward behaviour, no bad work and I saw the speed and accuracy with which the work progressed. He didn't even notice me anyway.

There were at least 15 workmen on the site, well kitted. He was very attentive to details and his workmen could understand him even through simple gestures.
Before I left, I beckoned on him and introduced myself. He was very pleased to meet me. By
the way I am a Medical Doctor so dont mind my long sermon. We write a lot.

I then took him to my own site. I was going to start from the scratch and there and then he told me the foundation including german floor up to a height of 1.2m above the ground level can be completed with about 4.6M Naira using short bored piles. Short bored Piles? I have never heard that before but he sound convincing and explained how it was more stable and cheaper than Raft.

Land is very swampy & delicate.

Curious, I asked my neighbour whose similar one-storey 4-flats building had reached parapet level how much his raft foundation of about 10-boards cost. He told me his foundation up to german floor cost him nothing less than 8M. He told me how he filled and filled and filled to acheive the level and he is not done filling yet. I also confirmed same from his Site Engineer. I even asked around and it was crazy figures everywhere!

Then I decide to give Osaz a try. I attempted to negotiate for a downward review but he bluntly refused.

He rejected the 'fake' Structural design an architectural firm did for me & prepared a new design at a little cost. I provided funds the next day and travelled back to my base outside Lagos.
They told me he brought in a rig, took some soil from the site for test the day after.

I asked a family member to keep an eye on the job for me as I followed him up via whatsapp. By the 2nd week, they were done with the perimeter fencework which looked like a bridge construction. By the end of the month, they were already on german floor level and it was just perfect! The piles were about 300mm diameter, 6metre deep, 57 points. They did pile caps, ground beams, etc. I didn't even know how the swamp water disappeared without filling. What an amazing tech!

The day I visited, coincidentally I met my neighbour studying the work on my own site perhaps with envy. He was pleased with the quality of work. I told him I only paid N4.6M for the foundation of the main building and 1.8M for the entire perimeter fence on my 700sqM plot. Using raft, his fence cost him some 2.5M and the whole thing is even sort of rough. He almost terminated the contract with his Engineer and wanted to immediately engage Engr. Osaz not for my intervention.

It was later I discovered that he was a regular contributor on the construction section of Castles Property Magazine and some daily newspapers.

Thumbs up Engr. Osaz (jeftalene) of NL and your great team @Heavens Contractors Ltd for helping me save a whooping 4M Naira. That change can take care of blockwall you know.

Thank you Doctor Precious. I just got to see your post now. You sort of made my day!
Grateful, Very grateful.

I have a friend who wants to venture into hotel and tourism management so he's making inquiries about these things

- a good place where he can get a good piece of land
- like how many square meters (size of the land)
- price range to expect when making purchases for the piece of land.
- he wants to have a hotel of say 40 - 45 rooms.

Now he's asking the total cost (land + construction + expenses to be made)

Estimates, like how much could he be letting down for this kind of project.

I have an acre of land with C of O in a very cool spot at Wuye District, Abuja. He can partner with me to build a hotel on it depending on his budget. Partnering with me will save him the cost of purchasing land and being a Construction Professional, the cost of design and Construction can be minimised too. Mail me: engineerosaz@gmail.com

Two people have been confirmed dead after a four-storey building collapsed in Abuja, trapping at least eight people on Monday.

Rescue workers on Tuesday recovered two bodies from the debris of the structure at Gwarinpa, Abuja. Six people had earlier been rescued.

The first body was lifted from under the rubble at about past 2PM, while the second was removed at 6:15PM. The first victim was identified as Sadiq, and the second, Joseph.

The rescue and recovery were carried out by a joint team of officials from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Abuja Development Control, Federal Fire Service,
and Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC).

A NEMA official, Abbas Idris, confirmed that six persons were rescued. "We are able to rescue six
persons from the building alive. Their condition was not so bad. Some of them were here with us before we took them to hospital,” he said.

A survivor, Timothy Ortega, told PREMIUM TIMES how he survived the the collapse
of the four-storey building.

“I was sleeping in the second floor of the building when I heard the sound not too long before I went to bed at about 11-11:30 pm on Sunday.
“At first I thought it was a bomb before I could realize anything I heard crack sound again and the entire building went down with the whole eight of us sleeping in different rooms.

“Sleeping next to me was my cousin Joseph; we were both displaced when
the building collapsed,” Mr.Timothy said. “God saved him from the tragedy. He was sheltered by two beams that created a relief over-lay that prevented the concrete from crushing him to death.
“Everything went black when the building collapsed and I could not move. The only thing I did was digging the sand with my two hands looking for a way out but all effort could not direct
me to any exit point.

“I was in between the building for 14 hours until the rescue team found me at about 3 pm Monday afternoon,” Mr.Timothy said.

What you are requesting for is an expert guide, I perceive.
You are providing the materials by yourself, what you need is a professional touch at reasonable cost.

From Design to Completion, we can help with that.

Note: You could have saved some costs and get a stronger and more stable fencewall if you had used short bored piles instead of raft for your fencing work like what we are doing presently for some private Clients at Isheri-North GRA, Ikeja, etc. Feel free to do an inspection. This system is fast gaining popularity in foundation construction for perimeter fencing and buildings all over. Raft is becoming out-fashioned because of its high cost, time wastage and structural inconsistencies.

Lol. Send drawings to engineerosaz@gmail.com, let me instruct my office QS to come up with an estimate for you for free, if you don't mind. It can serve as a guide.

Ogwuchristian:
Pls what is the error? And I am trying to adjust the plan. Pls builder and architect in the house help me out. Thanks

One of the errors is that the minimum setbacks of 3m that should be allowed between the fenceline and the sides of the building was not provided for. Its only about 1m on the site plan.

Ogwuchristian:
Ogwuchristian@yahoo.com

Okay

[quote author=Ogwuchristian post=47891360][/quote]Okay. Quite visible now.
You may drop your e-mail address so our office QS can prepare a cost estimate and send it to you directly or you write me via my mail.
