Saydfact, Brabus, Abbatoir, Aventure, segzy14, many more.

Thank you

segzy14:

Firstly, the number of iron rods is much.
Secondly, it is not the duty of a welder to place the iron rods, it is a iron bender that is responsible for such.

How many will be needed. The foundation needs piling because it is a swamp area. So that the building doesn't sink in later years

saydfact:
Hi, I want to believe the building is (to be) on a WATER-LOGGED land? hence the use of so much Iron?
Even at that, 2 tonnes of 12mm in particular is not possible.

Chekitaut: thanks for the tag...

Yes. It's a waterlogged area. The piliing is to prevent the house from sinking because it's a swamp. How many rods do u think I will be needing?

michlins:
I'm a welder sir but I don't think it's ok for me to advise you on the work of an iron bender. The engineers here will be helpful

Thank you for your honest response. Kindly refer me to someone credible on this forum

coldcandy:
Run for your life!
Consult a building iron bender not a welder.
Buy 10 lengths of y16 for the columns; 20 x y12 for lintel and 20 x y10 for stirrups and monitor how far they go.

Wow. Thank you. Will this be enough for a foundation that needs piling

n3xt:
1/4 of the quantity above should be more than enough.

_______
1 length of 16mm iron rod will complete one column (pillar)

So how many length will I need for a foundation that needs piling and what diameter? How many no of rods do I need to buy

Chekitaut:
This is crazy, pls pick an engineer on the forum to help you, as not a serious job he will just send his boys with shikini money you are covered.

Please refer me to a good one here

michlins:
please sir what business does a welder have to do with this type of thing

I don't know that why I asked him.please advice me accordingly

Please suggest the number of rods and size I will need to buy. Thank you.

Please how many rods will be enough for this project. I met a welder and he gave me the following list of no of rods for this 4 Bedroom bungalow. But the list looks much.


His list include :

2 tonne of 16mm
2 tonne of 12mm
1 tonn of 10mm

No. NYSC will use your jamb date of birth

Please how how many rods is required to do the foundation of this building below. And what diameter of rod will you suggest? And their prices?

Location: Lagos

Current price of iron rod?

Happy birthday young blood

Happy birthday dear

NwaAmaikpe:



Just like it is with women.
If these policemen want to go, the IGP should let them go. "Never beg who doesn't want to be with you to be with you."

Agbamuche learnt the hard way that when a woman tells you that she is fed up; you should neither try to beg, coerce, blackmail or cajole her to stay back when he found out that the pastor who he begged to counsel her on the importance and sanctity of marriage was the father of their 3rd child.

The IGP should not be scared.
The truth is that; even if all these policemen choose to retire today, there are many of us who are willing to pick up their batons and guns and replace them at those checkpoints collecting every 50 naira bribe with the truest diligence.

Welcome back bro

Jmarjr:
am interested only if my HND cert will be accepted for my masters program in engineering then we can talk on whatsapp

Do you want me to lie to you? No, I won't. I have no knowledge of applying through HND. But, if you have a post graduate diploma I think you stand a chance. Also you have to have a strong academic and research profile in order to be awarded a full scholarship

Those interested in applying to China in 2021 can contact me. Inclusive of self sponsorship, partial and full scholarship.

But, my services are monetized.

Jmarjr:
so the chances of securing a scholarship with HND is not possible? Of chinese unis dont accept HND graduates? Besides what is the connection between my HND and securing a chinese student visa? Pls explain

I think you should have a postgraduate diploma to apply. I may be wrong though

I wish you speedy recovery young ka3na

Happy birthday first lady

I'm still the lion

I'm still the fight

I'm still the liquid metal

I'm the Indaboski Pahose

Cha! Cha!! Chaa!!!

Arggg!!!!!

Rennie303:
Also...
Would you advise someone to apply through SICAS, CUCAS or China Admissions..

Why use them when you can do it yourself and save your service fee.


You can contact me and I will help you get admission in China

obalolaunited:
Na so dem push me o bros have spent more than 2.5 I still dey do tiles I tot with 2million am ok.

Lol. Receive strength bro. E no easy

frozen70:
Having being involved when I built my own houses, I will give you advice base on that

Don't repair the old house, it doesn't belong to you alone

You can start a foundation for three bedroom flat and with additional 500k, you can roof the building and concentrate in the finishing of just the parlour and one room close to the parlor and then kitchen

Toilet has been taking care of because it's part of the room coverage

Gradually, you will do the rest part of the building

Casement windows are more expensive than slide windows

Tile the parlor and the room they will stay in

You can forget about plastering inside but plaster out side to look good from public viewing, gradually you plaster inside

If you want you put bulglary then follow it up with net later you put slide windows for this

Wait till October to march before you start any project so that raining season would have gone away

Dont do any fencing yet because fencing a land is twice more expensive than building a three bed room bungalow

Buy granite of 10tones once and you may not need granite again to finish your building, buy 20tones of sharp sand once, don't buy 10tones once severally because it will not pay you. Buy plastering sand of 10tones any where it got finished, stop there. Start plastering from parlor, the room your parents will stay, kitchen and the remaining ons go out side and plaster the external

As for the soakaway, dig it in the dry season and use the sand to fill the room and parlor with kitchen, then set up the soak away with blocks and pillars at the four edges

Pls do the soakaway where you don't need to ever park on it if you know that you don't have enough money to buy 16mm rods to support the 12mm rods for the covering of it because of heave weight of cars on it

Feel free to ask more questions

Thank you for your advise sir.

unclemaths:
I hope it is not in the same location of flood.

BTW: talk to bricklayers in your neighborhood.

It's the same location. But I plan supervising the project myself instead of hiring a contractor because of my low budget

Chekitaut:
You have every reason to leave the place to another area, fighting flood will not help, you can sell the property and relocate. N2m will not complete a 2bedroom bungalow.

Location is not stated, if i can advise.

If I should leave the area, there will be a cost implication for new land. Whenever it rains heavily, there will be flood that stays for 1 or 2 days before leaving. I just want a bungalow that flood can't enter inside the house unlike the old house that once the flood comes it enters inside the house.

Can you imagine sleeping inside the flood for up to 2 days? It affects one's cognitive ability.

The location is Lagos

Nezero:
I built mine with about that amount.
3 bedrooms,1 living room, 1 kitchen , 1 toilet/bath, 1 dining room. I used less than 1500 blocks. All plastered and tiled. Electrical wiring done. No fence.



No well or running water yet

It's small though. The whole house is 33 by 22. I used 9 bundles of roofing sheets. I used Louvre windows.


If you really mean it, you can do it.
It could be better but I trusted the wrong person..


Do a lot of homework. I got plenty of info on Nairaland.. like how to calculate no. of blocks. Foundation, window, lintel and roof levels.

God help you

Thank you sir

Poorboy:
The person there gave you an in-depth analysis so nothing more to add. 2 million you supervise alone will take you with roofing.

Materials you are buying alone from the market, that's what I mean by supervising alone.

Thanks sir
