people no longer use plank for decking,we are in the new age,mbf as it is fondly called is what is in vogue now. It gives you smooth job and and can re-use it again and again

thanks for the comment, but I had to made do with what is available.
moreover cost is a driving factor, cos I still needed to sell off the woods after 21days of curing

victorazy:
The quality of the work is poor. First, the foundation is shallow and I didn't see any hardcore.

you are are making a mistake.
the foundation was 3feet 6inches deep and nothing less than 6 couches of block was used. so I don't get you.
like I said this is a dry land and the foundation footing was solid.

Eledan:
I have something like this in mind.
Nora93, how far do you think a budget of 25M will go on this project with a raft foundation in Isheri North GRA ?

25m would go far, at least, you should be able to roof, plaster,fix electrical works, doors , windows, if possible tiling too

Congratulations on your new project.. More grease to your wallet..

Do you mind sharing how much you have spent up to this stage?

foundation work- 2.1m
German floor casting- 715k
block work for ground floor including plumbing- 2.4m
decking- 4m
block work for first floor still ongoing but about 2.2m spent, and all materials needed bought already

this is the current stage we are right now, would keeping u updated as the work progresses.
feel free to throw in questions.

decided to use 9inches block for the outer perimeter walls, and a 6inches block for inner walls partition. This is to reduce load on the deck and cost effectiveness.
