As far as possible. Same goes for water wells. But as you are choosing sides, check with your neighbor's to see if their own soakaway over the fence is not at your preferred borehole or water well side .
ahaha this is true, imagine you sink a hole only to discover nxt fence has a ceptic tank, mine is i n front of my house in the middle lol 1st thing I did so as not to buy water for the building work

true but the much needed infrastructure is not there.we talking robotics when things as simple as steady electricity is not there not to talk of the internet wifi etc

Anything less of steady energy supply would be progress in futility.
The world is moving toward synchronised network system, where things are remotely control from distance. During the lockdown children were following visual lectures at home with their teachers/lecturers, if there is steady power supply Nigeria students could have benefited with the same system and wouldn't have be lagging behind as the case now.

Castle ke? They don’t know what they’re saying. People dey build 4 bedroom duplex with 15m but getting breakdown of costs has always been an issue.
I know the price is ridiculously high.

Hello everyone, Please who knows a general rough estimate of how much it will cost to finish a 3 bedroom and 2 room self contain from DPC level to roofing level.

I just got done with the sand filling.

The last estimate I did is 14.5m for a 3 bedroom flat with top finishes

NB: Taste and specifications varies

My Ogas, how is your sides.

We give thanks my oga.

I’m reducing my elaborate window sizes. When I was in Los Angeles 6 X 5 windows were the thing, now that I’m in Nigeria and looking at N1.5M estimates for windows, Son Of Man had to caution himself and reduce grin

I must say it's too close, except if you have no other options. Since it's a borehole, the depth is more, a 10 feet gap with a shallow water well is inadequate.

Good afternoon,
That is really one of the major reason people use EPS technology.
Using EPS for decking actually, help reduce the weight of the decking because
1. You reduce the size of rod needed Y10 can be used in place of Y12.
2. The volume of concrete required is reduced. However, you will have adequate columns to carry the next decking.
3. Make sure to have a good structural engineer look through your design and also supervise your project. Using EPS for decking require more expertise.

I hope I answered you question though?

Thank you

I'm about to build a two deck structure in a waterlogged area, how can this EPS block help in reducing dead load
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Tade722(m): 2:31pm On Oct 14, 2020
Very true though.

I don't have any video at the moment.
Last project we did, I only took pictures, I will ask my colleagues if anyone have videos.

When I find on, I have I'll make sure to post it on here.

Thanks

It would be nice if you can share a Video of the START-FINISH of a Decking, using this method so that one can compare it with normal Cement/granite decking.
I think a lot of people will like to try it but are still skeptical of the process and cost implications, due to lack of adequate knowledge of it.
A Video will answer all questions without any iota of doubt.

Well I am not disproving what you said, because you can get your material at a high price.
But from my work, I is cheaper Sir even when I tell my clients that price should not be a factor when doing decking, structural stability should be.
I can tell it is cheaper Sir

everything BUT the cost - it's actually more expensive.... (talking from practical use)

Not sure they have 7.5 - 10KVA but sure of 12.5KVA. That’s around #3.2m
