Its do-able but you must ask yourself whether the One Foot is worth the cost.
What you can do, considering that the DPC and its tied-columns is what carries the weight of the building, is to Cast a Raft covering the On foot and the DPC together, to form one whole.
Cast the One foot up to about 3" above the current DPC and then CONCRETE re-floor all TOGETHER.
That would tie the old and the new in one struture, otherwise cracks would develop where both meet, if just done along side each other.

Hope l was clear to understanding sha.

I challenge anyone who thinks SUV or a car with a very high frame could be the solution to drive from Owerri to Okigwe. I believe that is the worst road in the whole universe. I was unfortunate to have driven through that road two weeks ago. I had to replace my body lotion with Abonikin after that.

Can a quarter plot occupy 2 units of two bedroom flats and 2units of two self contain

Are you joking bro, quarter plot?
The quarter plot I know can only take 1 unit of 2bedroom if it’s bungalow.
But it will take 2 units of 2bedrooms if it’s a story building.

Good evening.

Bases on the attached drawings, here are the quantities of block needed.

In the foundation;

9-inch = 333 blocks
6-inch = 270 blocks

From Oversite Concrete (Ground floor slab) to Lintel.

9-inch = 495 blocks
6-inch = 855 blocks

Above Lintel to the roof.

9-inch = 261 blocks
6-inch = 189 blocks.

Thank you.

I actually mean the internal partition. Thanks

Just cast a reinforced beam on the dpc where you want the wall. Make sure the beam crosses a below-dpc wall or the beam rests on end columns.

I have read some reviews about @money121 here and I was at times doubtful if they were real! Well, I decided to give him a try on my roofing project and here is my story;

I contacted @money121 (CEO Imran roofing) on WhatsApp to let him know about my project and he asked for the roofing plan which I sent and he gave me a rough estimate pending when the wood work is completed and the actual measurement can be done. Two weeks after the wood work was done and he then asked me to send him actual measurement so he can get load the right quantity of materials to my site in Ekpoma Edo state. I sent a local guy around Ekpoma who is also a roofer to take the measurement and he sent me the sqm.

Sending the measurements to @money121 he told me those measurements where just too much judging from the plan I sent him earlier. This arouse my interest in @money121! Because he could have charged me with those measurements and no one will know about it. He offered to send his boy down to Ekpoma to take the measurement and behold his measurement was way less than what the other roofer sent!.

We agreed on the payment terms that I pay a deposit of 2.3M before he will load the materials to Ekpoma but I forgot I have 1M daily limit in my bank. After I transferred the 1M to him, I told him of the situation, to my surprise @money121 loaded the materials that morning and sent them to Ekpoma with his boys without waiting for me to complete the initial deposit of 2.3M.

Today the roofing is completed and I would want to let everyone know that @money121 (Imran roofing) is one of the most honest Nigerian businessman I have seen and his professionalism is second to none....keep up the good work @money121 you have just won me over!

Wow. Am commending him highly. May his good name not be soiled.

Testimony Time

Words fail me to express my gratitude to Gbadexy for being a shining light in the midst of the darkness I have seen from suppliers and artisans throughout my period of building my house.

I had watched and followed his comments for over two years.He supplied me basecoats and paints from lagos to Minna.He offered to share the tranportation cost with me by 50% and gave me extra base coats.
When there was a delay,he assured me of getting another supply if that one failed.When I eventually got the Painting material ,he introduced a painter who managed the paints and even developed a different colour from to give my house the uniqueness we never expected.
Thank you Gbadexy!!!
My God will surprise you and very soon too.

Worthy of Mention is Saydfact!
Always a phone call away answering questions and giving counsel.You have become more than an online friend sir, You are a brother!
We never walk alone....

Topsy23
He supplied all my electrical materials without issues.
He is someone I can always recommend.

Rotech77
You are one of a kind sir.
Even though I couldn't eventually use his service due to constraints beyond me, he answers my questions promptly.
I am sure we will still do things together very soon.

Michilin
My water tank stand is standing beautifully done because of your counsel.You told me things to look at for and how to bargain properly.
It worked!!!
Thank you so much

Saturday, 14th of November 2020, a journey that started over 3 years ago became a reality as i moved into into my 3 bedroom bungalow.

To all the elders in the house, I say a very big Thank You!!!
Keep teaching us,we are learning!!!

On to the next one......by God's grace!
