BOOOMNAIJA:
LOOKS TOO IGBOTIC FOR MY LIKING...TUEH!

That's what she is being paid to act in movies. She is well read and schooled and her real accent doesn't sound igbotic.

Btw, what's Nigerian issue with accents. We like to copy alot.

If an Indian speaks English you will know he is an Indian, so also is the Arab, Chinese, European and American. They all have their accent.

I wonder why we Nigerian choose to copy.

Shine on beautiful creature

Amastermovic:
do u have anything underground(below ground level) in this bungalow of yours.

what's in stage 2

no coarse aggregate

for others to contribute when it comes to crucial stage of work like this u need to tell us what the soil looks like if u don't have soil test..architectural plan included . then considerable opinion can b given

No.

The area is a swap area so the piling is to prevent the house from sinking in the future.

It's just a normal 4 Bedroom bungalow foundation. Nothing special

Stage 2 is the casting

I want to do foundation for my 4 Bedroom bungalow.

The engineer gave me a quote for stage 1 foundation

Profiles #10000
Pilling #85000
Basement #45000
1 trip of sand
7 bags of cement

Please isn't this too much

Dangote cement is currently #3500 in my area in Lagos.

I want to do a foundation and I'm confused whether to proceed or still wait for the price to come down more?

Will the price still come down more?

This covid figures are virtual

LordIsaac:
The Pastor Kumuyi she mentioned, she knows he would never be party to evil. Let her take it up appropriately without dragging the personality of the pastor. That's my take.

When a team doesn't perform well they fire the coach. Do you know why that is done?

RIP Dr.

But if dangote cement is hoarding their product by creating scarcity in order to inflate the price. What about other cement makers like Elephant, Ibeto and others.

The difference in their price with Dangote cement is not more than #200.

Chekitaut:
Cement price hike, we should stop disturbing ourselves over it, Dangote is silent about it, no regulatory bodies on price control. There is this loading order call ATC mostly with Dangote, you can believe even without logistics the dealers claim there reason for price hike still sell the ATC @₦2900-3100. I think we are actually the reason we are where we are. Greed, Anarchy, Self-centred the reason we can not grow in Nigeria.

Do you realise far north cement is not sold @ the rediculious price sold in other part of Nigeria.

We go get sense last last.

Any possibility for the price dropping less than or equal to #3000 before the new year?

Please what's the current price for cement in Lagos? Any possibility of the price comes down? And how soon?

Congratulations Williams

zuraking:
from 0-100? that's cool. Please lets know the brand name

I have disposed the cartoon already and the submersible is already immersed in the borehole

yinkaoke:
Ok do u remember d brand name or name of machine, power capacity or by chance the carton?

I can't remember the brand name but I remember it's 0.75hp and it fills my 1000 liter tank within less than 10 mins

yinkaoke:
Please do u v the pics of the machine ?

The machine has already been installed inside the borehole. I have done the borehole already

egoldi01:
Please see below the cost of installation of borehole given to me for my koboko project after drilling. Only two pipes were put in the drilled holes as the guy said no need for casing or so from down. The depth is slightly above 110m

1) Pumping machine intadable 58 000
2 ) Tiger pipe 12. 45 600
3) cable wire 2 roll 16 000
4) rope 1 roll 8 000
5) socket 12. 2 400
6) gate Fab 1 1.000
7) cover 1 1,000
bushing 1 500
9) cellotape 5 500
10)l boo 3 600
Workmaship 15 000
Total . = # 148 000

Please assist me to review and advise.

Which pumping machine is #58000? I bought a semi submersible pump for my borehole project which I did early November 2020 for #30,000.

Which one is cable wire again? The semi submersible pump comes with the wire. The wire is even very long and you can't use all of it.

Which one is rope 8000? I bought rope for #3000 and less than quarter of it was even used.

How many casing pipe did he tell you that u need? Although for my own project 3 and half casing pipe was used and I have to return the remaining. I initially bought 7. The casing pipe I bought then cost #7000 per one for 5 inches. This casing pipe are the strong ones. Very original. Although there are lesser quality one for even #4000.

I advice you go to the market and buy your stuff yourself.

Thanks

Live your life bro and don't put yourself on unnecessary pressure.

Work on your own pace. Good luck

One4me:
For a Bungalow, a structural design is not a requirement but it is good if you have one.
Now, a Bungalow does not require Pilling, even if it is in a Swamp.
The weight of a Bungalow cannot sink the building, in the worst Swamp, if you do a proper Foundation.
Sinking is caused when the weight of a Building exceeds the bearing capacity (Upthrust) of the soil.
The above can be tackled in three ways:
1) Increase the weight bearing capacity of the Soil, using a Pile Foundation (so that it sits on a layer of soil with better capacity, deep down in the ground)
2) Reduce the downward weight of the building (especially a Bungalow, which is already close to the threshold upward thrust capacity of the soil) by using lighter materials to build
3) More importantly, design the foundation is a manner that increases the foundation base of the building, to increase surface area and thus reduce its weight/downward pressure on the weak soil.

#3 is achieved by designing an INVERTED T- Raft Foundation.
Upthrust = Force/Area
Since the downward Force of the building is considered static/unchanging (total Weight of Bungalow), by increasing the area covered by the raft Foundation, you are reducing the Upthrust of the Floor, on the building and thus its carrying capacity, without a Pile Foundation.

If a Pile will cost you, #6M - #8M, if you get a good Engineer to do your Build, the Foundation l described above will save you a minimum of #3Million.
Contact an Engineer on this site, @Abdulwatecx, give him your build to do for you.
He is honest, reliable and good at his job. Yes, l can vouch for him but l dont know if he is free right now..
I am trying to think of who else l can recommend but my memory is empty right now.
Dont try to do it yourself, you dont have the knowledge, dont use just a Bricklayer and you will be wasting money doing a Pile foundation for a Bungalow, its an over-kill.

BTW: I am not just saying this, l have put it into practice on a One Storey building, in the worst Swamp you can think of and the building is standing for over five years now. It has settled to its final state.

If you need a reliable bricklayer, let me know.

Thank you sir. I will consider your suggestion

sconp:
Hi,

Let me try to breakdown what has been said.

You have an architectural plan for a bungalow and you are making plans to build. However, your land is a water-logged area I.e A swamp.

As such you shouldn't take structural advice for this kind of project from just anybody, so that you don't end up with regret.

The right thing to do is to consult a structural engineer, he'll head to the site to see for himself and he'll recommend that you do a soil test to ascertain the allowable bearing capacity of the soil and type of foundation that would work in that area.

After which the structural engineer would do the structural design and he'll be the one to estimate from the structural design the amount of rod you should buy.

Ooh. I now understand. Thank you very much sir

megacontrol:
Bros,

Pls pause, infact STOP! and re-access cos you're getting it all muddled up.

You don't have structural plan yet you've been told you need a pile and pile is to prevent sinking.

Pls do a soil test, followed by a structural plan, before proceeding.

If indeed you need a pile (which your soil test will reveal), then this is no more a standard bungalow that usually doesn't require a structural plan and doesn't qualify anymore as kobokobo.

While all your points may turn out to be correct, it should be guided by technical facts and not "them-say".

Cheers

Sir, can you please explain to me in a simple term so that I can understand you clearly. I was told that piling will prevent the building from sinking due to the nature of the soil there. Or is it that bungalow doesn't require piling?

n3xt:
Piling? I think you’re doing it wrong.

You need an experienced engineer to guide you. But by the way, who recommends pilling for a bungalow? Where’s your location?

Piling is to prevent it from sinking because it's a swamp area

coldcandy:
Please always give complete info on your project when requesting for help.
Pile foundation is a different ball game.
Have you done d soil test?
Do you have structural design?

Sorry boss. I don't have structural design

segzy14:

You can post here or send me your structural design and soil test, to get the number of iron rods that you need.

I don't have structural design . Just architectural plan. The area is a swamp
