Question:

I have lots of block that was moulded back in 2016 then something came up on the land... things have settled now ..
I was wondering if those 9 inch blocks are still durable for building?..(intended build is a 2 storey building)

Hi,

The longer the blocks stay if well stacked the better they get.

If Anyone thinks a block stacked for 4 years would be bad for building, then even if it was used 4 years ago, the building shd have collapsed or cracked by now.

I've used blocked stacked for more than 4 years on a site belonging to a Niralander, and Omo the strength was amazing. (see attached pics) - I stopped updating the thread, work has gotten to upper floor thou.

I also wonder how anyone would know if the block is bad or good WITHOUT asking to see pictures.

THIS DAYS... everyone is a builder.

Please share a pics or 2...or do a test in the lab or simple do a physical check and drop test on site.

Goodluck...

Hi Nairalanders!
I need constructive criticism for this floor plan

saydfact:


Design is OK.......

PqsMike:





Hi,

Please don't advise people to use blocks that's been exposed for several years for construction. Other than partitioning. Such block should not be used for substructure work or superstructure wall carrying dead loads.

Conduct a compressive strength test on your exposed blocks and show us the result.


Thanks

ArcToyin:

The design is okay. A little observation 1) The kitchen is a bit far from the dinning. 2) The laundry position is not too good to access.

EXPOSED TO WHAT?

RAIN WATER AND SUNLIGHT...

Since when did rain water and sunlight become a curse to BLOCK..

I repeat.... IF WELL STACKED, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.

Except you can proof how being exposed to sunlight and rain water is a curse.. Even after use, it's going to be exposed to same conditions for years if not plastered in time.

I stand with what I said... No disrespect.

PqsMike:



I will advise u to please don't use them .....they are weak already.... and if you still wanna use it ....pls only use it for partitions only... Walls that aren't carrying any load.

We don't just do building Plan.
We go further to take you inside the building...

Morning GoodFaith,
If am not mistaken, he said the carpenter is bringing his own wood.... And he's also doing an all round lintel plus about 7 columns for 50k...



Morning dbshaywhy,
Be fair to the carpenter, he'll pay to transport the wood to site and pay to pack it. You're not buying wood and yet he wld pay his workmanship.

That price is fair.... Whether it is 50k or 65k...

Maybe you should start by calculating how much wood he wld use.

Goodluck.

dbshaywhy:

Thanks you all for your contribution... I actually pay up last price posted and am happy a gud job was delivered

Hargbo:

Hi Dennis3d, what type of wall finish is this in your work below

Hargbo:
according to the dimension above, the 250block is accurate and the cost of setting 250block is around 12500..
So for the plastering and decking you can pay him 15k for that...


It should not be more than 30k at most, if he is not ready to do it, get another Bricklayer and tell him the amount you will pay him for such work

Setting of Block + plastering and casting of Slab = 30k

Don't allow anybody to rip you off o

bobkezel:

I doubt if he will get a good bricklayer that will accept 30k.
They charge higher when it comes to soakaways and septic tanks cos of the stress involved. Soakaways are not like normal setting of building blocks.

Emmycool85:
We finally agreed to 35k after much talk and you are right, he was complaining about the stress involved
