Yes 2 bedrooms per flat * 4 flats
Land is 600sqm and it is a dry land
boay:


How many rooms per flat? You mean two bedroom each ensuite?

Pending your reply, my advice is this:

1.Get quotations from different contractors


2. Get a quotation, estimate or bill of quantities to assess quotations from contractors

I think it will do especially if they are semi detached.

Hi my people
do one need pressure pipes to run waste through the chambers to the soakaway. I just got i quote for 20 pieces of 6' pressure pipe at 5.5k each and sundry sizes of pressure pipes for this external plumbing work. It sounds odd to me.

what size/type does one need to run waste chambers and soakaway things.
the insight will be appreciated.




B/w
anyone can suggest good service in mainland for laying interlocking stones
Thanks


It’s May sound odds to the people who are not in that field. Actually the plumber is right, not al plumber know this.
The system is that when you have lager number of toilet in a building ( especially commercial building) such system of introducing bigger diameter of pipe like 4.5-6’ is advisable to eliminate blockage of chambers.

We can handle the interlock work for you.

Hello all. I'll be needing an urgent reply please. Is it possible for 35m to build a block of 4 flats (2 ensuite bedrooms ). This would include Aluminum roofing, POP, wall screening, painting, all toilet finishings including walk in shower cubicle, gate house and gate, generator house, all plumbing, electrical and mechanical works, interlocking, windows and doors,(Turkish doors) full tiling (Nigeria tiles) etc.
Can 35m build it from start to finish?
I got this quote from a builder. Is it feasible?

Itwould be hard to tell, as we do not know the size of the proposed building.

Its better you get a quantity surveyor to prepare a BOQ which contain cost breakdown of the project.

With the BOQ, you would be able detect if a contractor has inflated his quotation or has underquoted.

You can contact me on 09056082348 (call & WhatsApp)
Raymondfubara@gmail
for the BOQ.

The compressive strength of the vibrated block is more than the hand mould.


Very correct.
I don’t know why people will say hand made block will be stronger than machine made sand Crete block, when you used same ratio for both (same quantity of sand, cement )to produce same quantities of block

When I said we have been using this device for long not 2,5,10 yrs to detect leakage ... yes I mean what I said.

Don’t forget we do filled the container with water before carry out the test.

I will find time to explain the process or post the Vedio later here when time permits to do so.

Same process with smoke test. The leakage point will show.

Another angle that occurred to me.
The sumo pump, does it have a non return check valve?.
Am wondering if the water pumped into the tank...is returning and flowing back into the water well bore..
Is someone here experienced in the internal workings of the sumo pump?

All submersible pump do comes with non return valve.
More so according to your earlier post, you make mentioned that the water do lasted for some days before.
So it means the non return valve is not the problem. Unless maybe someone just remove it while they carried out repair work on the pump. ( just a suggestion)

God will provide sir. I'm sure others too have seen your post and will keep you in mind.
I like the fact that you're willing to work and don't mind to get dirty.

If cars will be on your soakaway, ensure the structural components of your soakway can withstand this. Will the slab sit on blocks or on beams and /or columns? I prefer the the latter anyways.


You will need between 7/8 lengths depending on the spacing

Thank you so much boay..

The slab will be sitting on beams and columns not blocks.

Thanks alot.

No ops done on the sumo recently.am wondering if the check valve may have failed.
A more experienced plumber came and suspects the leakage is from the supply pipes underground, as the pipes were buried and interlocking placed on top...
Some areas of the interlocking have sank..and these are pedesterian areas....cars dont pass there, so plumber suspects the leak may be there...

The plan is to run new surface supply piping entirely and disconnect the old one..

Thank you.

We were also advised to draft an agreement and make witness sign during the process. How is that done? I am the middle man in this case and someone advise I let the sellers sign as witness to the deal.

What do you think?
