Good practice but moisture will and cannot just affect the walls, it can also affect the rest if the floor hence the practice by some to do that to the entire concrete slab.

Such as in this video, watch from the 12th minute.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGUsJmWIrhQ

Just so you know I did this exact same thing to my house when I rebuilt the entire floor.

However I used double the DPM for additional or enhanced protection against moisture.

You also need a DPC based on M15 concrete ratio to prevent water ingress.


In this second video, it is applied to the entire floor ahead of pouring a fresh concrete floor.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DiWxo3xQXI

My point is that whether the floor is built from scratch or being repaired, some professionals insist that it be installed to prevent moisture not just on the walls but for the entire floor.


Hope this helps.

Hopefully others will contribute
Yea it helps.
I chose this method because of shortage of fund. I m not trying to cut corners.
Hopefully during the flooring stage the polythene will be spread all over the floor

Wish whatever evil you want. My Life is covered by the Cross and the Promises of Jesus. I have no ill against you , all I want is a complete and reviewed work.

My God will frustrate any evil plans you have, rather all your evil wishes and plans against me will fall back upon your head if you don't repent.

I shall not die , but Live and declare the works of the Lord in the Land of the Living in Jesus Name.

Your impatience and haphazardnees can't cajole me into paying for a seemingly incomplete work.

The money I'll pay you is also my sweat, sometimes sleepless nights.

I will pay you but, I need some conclusions first from people who know about the work here which is what I initially agreed with you.
Send the drawings let me review for you

I sound like a kid to you right ? The things you see are over 11 years of blood, sweat, tears and fears, coupled with God's help.

The first you see is over 7 years old, the second over 6 years old.

Don't portray me as someone who got money all of a sudden. Maybe thats the reason you think I'll send you for something unreviewed.

Not everyone buys Akara with thier first earnings.

Maybe, there is a 'certified' age for being rich or only elderly people are supposed to be rich grin . That's from a 'professional' point of view.

A harmless question.

When did it become fraud to ask for a review before final payment?

Maybe the time it has taken is the issue, review shouldn't be an issue.

My thoughts too. Nothing wrong with the review, but what has been happening for the last 3 weeks? Why is it after 3 weeks he too is bringing it here for review? Wasn't that to be done the very day he got the documents or the next day? It took DoctorWh00 less than 1 hour to do the review just now. So why delay payment for 3 weeks?

Mind you, delay isn't up to 2 weeks.

I met him here about 3 weeks ago.

I spoke to him first, on 8th of this month

He is just an impatient kind forcing me to conclude something unreviewed.

Can someone honestly answer me.

Is architectural and structural drawings something that is rushed ?

If not for someone who reviewed here, and standing to my words, I wouldn't pay, cos I am even yet to understand everything he sent.

Guys please stop exposing your privacy like this, the world is watching. Both of you can disagree and and agree. @ CivilEgineer90 please go and remove all those threats about your client internet does not forget or forgive. Mr client you can share proof of payment without exposing his details, I will advise you to rethink from what he wrote about your project. Spending 2 to 3m to correct things to have rest of mind is better than taking risk of spending 70 to 100m with sleepless nights. Ikoyi gate is not far from our memory. I wish both of you best of luck.

You took too long on review

Kindly complete your review on time and balance the vendor if satisfied.

As for the vendor, I don't see your attitude so far on this thread winning potential clients to you.

Work on your attitude and professionalism. See as you dey spread clients info up and down like the cunny man we all know, it doesn't say good about your service rendition and you're also exposing your clients to scammers out there.

Wishing you good luck in the coming year.

I'm very professional and I work very hard to deliver jobs on time to my clients. This is real estate there's no wasting time. Most developers send me 3-4 jobs and request to get it in less than 48hours and you have to deliver BUT the Only thing that brings out the tiger in me is when my money is being delayed. I hate it. Time is of ensence so just do the damn payment and let's move on that's my policy. A contract quotation is only valid for a specific period of time or if prices of cement or bitumen increases will that not affect a payment made to a contractor 2months ago and put on hold. That's the point here.

To be honest with you, that drawing isn't fit to be called an Architectural drawing let alone done by someone portraying himself to be an Architect.

The drawing lacks the basic features required of an Architectural working drawing.
For instance, take a look at the floorplan posted there; no indication for floor level difference, no door and window codes, very poor dimensioning, no north arrow, no floor/ceiling finishings codes etc etc.

For the elevation;
no spot heights, no indication for doors/windows, no specification for external finishes etc etc.

How could you probably call this 8 sheets of drawing a work of Architecture?

For the records, the minimum basic features of an Architectural working drawings includes;
Location plan
Site plan
Floor plans
Roof plan
Roof covering plan
Roof framing plan ( for wooden works only)
Reflected ceiling plan
Sections
Elevations
Details
Door/window schedules
Finishes Schedules.
Finally 3Ds

In each of this features, there are a lot of information each should showcase which I may not be able to go into details here.

Following this basic features religiously one could get as much as 20sheets of well detailed drawings for a 4-5bedroom bungalow not to talk of this one with about 2/3 suspended floors.

Lastly, @ Oga Unzend please pay him his money after all there was no agreement on the basic deliverables.

Left for me, this does not qualify to be called an Architectural working drawing, infact any Architect that seals such drawings needs to be questioned.

I rest my case.

bros be paying attention I said I have Designed over 150 buildings. You think there are any kind of client I haven't dealt with before. Teach what lesson, soil what image? Bro I always move on. I never had any intention to keep those posts there because payment is the only rift bw us. Quarrels and conflicts are allowed but the end is what determines how the relationship continues. I rather you deal with me because of my knowledge than for friendship sake. Before I went self employed I worked at a consultant firm, almost all those buildings at banana island and lekki phase 2 were designed by me via my previous firm then. So bro this construction line we have it on lock down. If you want to remain a pal fine but if not I wish you well bro, all I just wanted was my payment so we can all be balling and happy. You said the last review, has the file been sent to whoever is to do the review? Let me know boss. You are a good guy but you are just too doubtful, though it may prevent you from scams but the day you eventually fall into it will be a massive cashout for whoever gets you.

I buy everything I use online, my first car on jiji aka olx then 2014. All my PC I just order them, who has time to be checking and rechecking for errors or faults. I just talk to someone and know the kind of person they are. My appliances , everything is online. I just ask you to do a video call and I talk to you that's it. I may even be too busy to be there to receive it but surely it will work fine because I know that one of the hardest things to do is lie. Stop thinking everyone is lying or scam. If I show you alerts of jobs I ve done here, someone here Babalola something credited me 600k for his build at ibadan, till date I don't know how he looks like but the building has been completed already. So bro be calm and you will enjoy people, Nigerians are good people .

I trust this forum and people like you here

Thanks, He agreed that the work would be peer reviewed before final payment. Moreso, He prides in the work he does, and I believe He can do it maybe, lazy.

We agreed only 3D wouldn't be part of it.

He can come here to refute that and I'll add screenshots.

It'll take more than one or his incessant denial to make me count this as a loss.

bro I challenge you to an architectural drawing, are you kidding me. Let's start uploading our works and you won't stand a chance let's go. All your jobs both As-Built and proposed, including 3d. Stop talking anyhow!!! New contemporary structures not those old ones with pillars at the front. Before you start talking anyhow there.

You are senseless I know your Posts right from like 2years ago and you never contribute anything useful here. Let a foundation be uploaded with issues on it and no one will see you online, if you think unzend will notice and give you job you are fooling yourself.

The one smart person I miss on this forum is oga Spyder and next. Next is fraudulent but his smartness if of the chart. I always visit his site kobocity and I gain useful knowledge there and I encourage you to go there sometimes too. You no even follow, those are the kind of people I take the reviews seriously not you.

Okay let me ask you, that is a four storey building, how much do you think the Architectural should cost??
