Please I need help on rod sizes for staircase. My engineer is trying to use a combination of 12mm and 10mm for the staircase and I have a site supervisor telling me staircase should be only 12mm rods. I’m not sure who’s advise I should follow .
My suggestion, your supervisor in my opinion is right. Is better to be safe then sorry, at the end is your house. Be wise.

I don't know the span or purpose of the building but I think u shouldn't allow ur supervisor give you advice on reinforcement issues.. he said stairs should only be T12mn shows he doesn't understand some design rules which engineers abide to..

As your Engineer ve suggest if he's the one who made the design use T12 and T10.. 12 for main and 10 for redistribution he should provide the center to center though you might also use T12 all true

Did you negotiate and he didn’t agree for 100? Because MR A charges you 180 doesn’t mean he’s ripping you off,different builders with different prices it’s left for you to negotiate or find someone else to fit your budget that doesn’t mean he’s a rip off

Please kindly ask them to combine 16mm and 12mm.
16mm as the reinforcement beam at the lander (or table) while 12mm will be for the mat or runners using their term.

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.

Ok, thank you so much for the great information. Is it very important to do it, we have a plot of land which is a dry land to build a duplex on?

Thank you. 10mm for the brackets and 12mm for the reenforcement beam is what my engineer has advised we use . This is a 4 bedroom duplex. Do you think this would suffice and be safe.

Your site is in ibadan na. You really don't need it. But your engineer might request for it. Its professional.

Is necessary, though with Y10 you are good but not a must.

However, if the building have a parapet, decken above the kitchen or is massive ( too many rooms) you will surely need pillars though the ground may be solid.

*Always design your building with a professional architect and impliment it with a good engineer for posterity sake. Thanks
