Hello Segzy,

Please will you be kind to help me estimate the same for this german floor casting below. I just want to cross check quantities of cement, sand & granite;

L = 20m
B = 12m
H = 200mm

Mix ratio 1:2:4

Thanks

segzy14:



Cement-167-188bags
Sand - 40tons
Granite- 60 tons

question...is 4" the typical german floor slab thickness or it could vary by design?

thanks

segzy14:


I think you mean 4inches(100mm) not 4mm.
I will get back to you.

you probably don't understand how building approval works.
the ministry should have intimated the builder of such requirements at the building approval processing stage but they deliberately don't do that. Especially in that Eti-osa / Ibeju axis where Ajah falls under, even if you inquire they will never brief you proporly of the requirements.
This safety thing is one of the other supplementary clearances/approval that should be processed simultaneously along with your building approval but they wont do it. You imagine after waiting close to one year to properly process building approval (because you want to do the right thing) and spending big bucks, you go o site and one asshole shows up with this nonsense claiming safety and demanding money. the system is designed not to work but to frustrate and exploit you, even for those that want to do the right thing.

This doesn't compare to a regulated offshore construction project where there are known standards. this one is just mere paper exercise, they don't check nothing for compliance as that'e not the intention.

Oduok:

You would have spent less should you have engaged the services of a safety engineer for construction safety presence. I never knew there is this level of regulation for construction projects onshore - I'm happy to see this. It is only on offshore construction projects, that I represent contractors as safety rep, that I see this level of enforcement. Nigerians, it is high time we started doing the right thing, in line with global best practices. Construction safety has been a serious concern to the world safety body - ILO. The Nigerian situation a serious concern to me as well.

i don't think your soil test scope and cost should depend on proposed structure.

The deliverables of the soil test should tell you how much load the soil can safely support and various depth, you then use this to cross-check with your proposed structure if it falls within the safe range. its not the other way round where.

Infact you shouldn't tell the soil test engineer what you plan to build, otherwise they can work from answer to question for you. rather, they should tell you the maximum structure you can erect based on the soil test results

Evaowokotomo:
Please, does anyone knows how much it cost to do a soil test?

Larwin:


Soil testing cost depends on the scope of work, the size of the land and the structure to put on.

For a simple duplex in Lagos and suburb, the cost is generally not less 300k. It should include cpt, spt and laboratory analysis.

you may need to clarify what services you have already awarded and which you are open to source from here or not, doesn't mean people will abide to such rules tho.

100% correct. This is the correct way to compute and make financial justification.NPV, IRR, discounted cash flow etc. applies.

I should also add that the first paragraph of the post is not entirely correct. Further processing (or adding value like he said) does not necessarily translate to higher profit margin all the time. you have to follow a decision rule which considers the differential cost vs differential revenue.

Abdomox:


I am sorry to say, this analysis is wrong. When we talk about pay back period in Finance, we don't use the initial investment cost to analyze the way you did. The only amount you use is the salvage value of the property (for properties we've always agreed that the salvage value will be more than initial cost due to Land appreciation).

For instance, if you build a property of N40m today, and have an investment horizon of 5 years....all you need is Cash flow for all the 5 years.

Let's assume you rent out the property for 2m p.a, and assume the property will worth 60m after 5 years. The cashflows will be as follow:

Yr 0- Initial investment- 40m
Yr 1- Rent- 2m
Yr 2- Rent- 2m
Yr 3- Rent- 2m
Yr 4- Rent- 2m
Yr - Rent & Salvage Value- 62m

After setting this out, you will discount all these at prevailing discount rate (let's leave this).

In short, you don't breakeven based on appreciation of property yet to be disposed except rental income covers the initial cost. Note that the future rental income need to be discounted because one dollar of today is not of same value as tomorrow.

Please house help oo,

I need an idea of the required documents for a 3 bedroom flat approval, I had already got someone that works for LASBCA to help with the processing (He is actually the same guy that brought the paper from LASBCA saying we are building without permit from LASG), at first these were the list of documents I was asked to provide:

Original copy of Survey Drawing, Architectural drawing, Assessment sheet, Receipt of Payment of Assessment, Receipt of State Certification, Letter of Supervision/Structural stability from a COREN registered engineer & Non Destructive test report from Lagos State Materials testing laboratory.

Original copy of Survey drawing, Architectural drawing, Assessment sheet and Receipt of Payment of Assessment has already been provided, now he is back with a new list which I honestly find a bit sketchy, He is asking for, 2 passports photograph, Original Receipt of Purchase of Land, Original deed of Assignment, C/O, Stamp duty, Oath & Affidavit from high court, My question is that is this new lists of things he gave me truly needed as well or this is turning into something else?, Please anyone that has an idea please help!
