Nothing can replace anything that is properly done, however if your soil is relatively stable and not prone to water problems, you can go ahead and compact it well, if possible place hardcores, then floor

I don't understand what you mean by placing hardcore

Charisdesigns:


It is better to get things done properly now that you are still in this stage....

Doing your German floor now will save you from lot of headache later

From experience here are some advantages we have noticed German flooring have over normal flooring

1) German floor is also part of the foundation, it should be seen as a structural elements that makes your house to stand. Loads transmitted from the building is recieved by the German floor before transferring to the foundation

2)German floor stops the upward movements of water from the soil into your building. I am sure you wouldn't want your walls to be damp or see algae grow on it.

Lastly, oversite concrete can Serve as a breaking point when there is a non major crack to the wall, it prevents this crackline from getting to the foundation.

About the cost estimate, you will have to provide the plan as that will serve as basis for the estimation

Good day friends, here is a 3 bedroom flat and 2 room and parlour self contained foundation as shown in the picture.
Filling is on going presently, next after that is the setting of the blocks to the final level.
My enquires are;
How many blocks will it required?
How many bag of cement and cost of sand (mind you, there will be 15 pillars)?
Can it later be floored after block setting, mind you, am using 9 inches block all through?
Thanks in anticipation.

Good morning to all beautiful heart Nairalanders and a big thanks to your quick response.
At some responses, some are asking for building plan/sketch or design but the fact is I only bought that property like that tru my uncle. It's an half plot of land, 30 by 100 with 3 bedroom and 2 unit of room and parlour self contained foundation with each rooms with its toilets and bathrooms, no dining room. The former owner almost used up all d land. The left over at the left and sides wil not b more than 3-4ft and 4-5ft respectively and the back side 3-4ft too.
A good hearted one could further assist me please.

Bankyshinani:

I don't understand what you mean by placing hardcore

Hardcores are large aggregate's or simply put crushed stones like your normal granite, but this time in bigger size.

Although somepersons use broken bricks/blocks rumble for hardcores.

Generally hardcores provide strength to foundation, and most be systematically placed for evenness.

I think I finally comes with a sketch.
Mind you, the dotted point will be for pillars and I wish the sitting room could step down, will this still be achieve by doing the oversite concrete?

Building materials require honesty, its not cheap, don't put it in the hand of just anybody. The price you pay is faithfulness & honesty.

Build right

okay now I understand

Azino1984:
Imaging what a family asked me to pay at parafa-ikorodu before I could build in the land they sold to me. Foundation #60k, Iwe-ebi #150k, Crops/grass #40k, Security #60k, decking #150k, Roofing #60k, Akowe/Youth #50k, Fencing #70k. This is coming after you might have paid for the land. The government should do something about this especially Lagos government

Please note that any form of Omonile is illegal in Lagos but I will advice you use wisdom. Negotiate to beat down the prize. Good luck

dbshaywhy:


Can I get a rough estimation of the oversite concrete and even assist with the sketching of the building if have any (3 bedroom flat and 2 room and parlour self with each room avin it's toilets, no dining room) ?

You can. That's not a problem

emmanuelike:
If I can get rough estimate for this student hostel. I'll appreciate.

8 single room(Sr) (with 4 toilets(Tb) (erroneously inserted it twice. D idea is for 2 rooms to share 1 toilet.

Then 6 selfcon single room too.

Attached is rough scetch I made

Depending on location and quality of finishes 6-8m

I was developing a three and a two bedroom apartment on the same plot of land sometime ago but stopped because the person overseeing it was siphoning funds.

I have decided to travel down to oversee things myself during my annual leave. How much work can be realistically done in two weeks? Both buildings are at lintel level(lintel has been done)

The detailed cost if the project was an idea I got from Segzy post on nairaland.

That is Lagos way of ripping off the land owners. My site is located in ilorin.

khadii1:



I wish I can get such detailed cost for my project.
Labour wants 70,000 for paraset.
Carpenter wants 70,000
Welder wants 70,000.
Omo onile wants 150,000 before we start roofing
The street association wants 10,000 for foundation and 70,000 for light.
Site is Iju after winners.
Frustrating!!
