No Pillar Bungalow, carrying three Floors. Abeg, lie but keep it to a minimum.
Seen is believing, put your Money where you Mouth is, DO IT and Let us See.

I was quite surprised seeing that.

But then, I'm not quick to say something is impossible especially in engineering..

Even if it was possible, I'm very sure it's not safe.

Before you buy any property, get professionals involved.

1. A seasoned Estate Surveyor and Valuer(not road side agent or Baba Iyabo Caretaker)

2. A legal practitioner

3. A registered land surveyor (not someone who can use the theodolite that claims to be a Surveyor, but someone registered with NIS)

It saves time and money

That's Andron Homes, or Revolution Plus or Happy Homes property company advertised land to you, doesn't mean the land would have perfect title without encumbrance. Some may have clean titles, but some may not

I talked about someone that bought land from a big real estate company that we later discovered to be government acquired.

I talked about someone that bought land from a big real estate company that we later discovered to be government acquired.

Dem plenty.

I tell people to spend ₦50,000 on search before spending millions on buying property.

We are about buying a filling Station in Ibadan This week.

I first went to Secretariat at Agodi Gate and the search conducted revealed that the present owner Mortgaged the property to FCMB and a Legal mortgage was created.

Until he pays FCMB and there is a deed of release, if we bought the property from him, we're on our own.

That's why my client engaged me to act professional.

Don't buy any land without getting all these 3 professionals involved

1 Estate Surveyor and Valuer (Conduct search at Lands Bureau)
2. Registered land surveyor (Chart at the office of Surveyor General)
3. Lawyer (Preparation of deed of assignment)

My discipline covers all 3 mentioned above cheesy
You can call me 'trinity' grin

I said my foundation can conveniently carry 3 floors. I didn’t say my foundation without columns can conveniently carry 3 floors. You added “without columns” grin

Interestingly, in the same location I have another foundation with column that’s carrying 2 floors.

The foundation without column is for bungalow.


Okay..
the original poster you replied to, was talking about building without columns..

So we all assumed that’s what you were talking about

The reply once again:

Engr ..., I built a bungalow without pillars (signifies the project has been built and long forgotten) at a location close to where Lafarge blasts limestone every 2 days. It’s almost 9 years now (lifetime specified) and there are no signs of visible cracks. Am I taking unnecessary risk?

My foundation though can conveniently support 3 floors (gives info about the “foundation”). It’s 1.2m deep but (signifies there was a limitation) no pillars and 9in sandcrete blocks were used.

I hope it’s clearer now cos I don’t know how many people are “WE”

It is not. I thought of the idea before starting my project as I so much love bricks and natural stones as exterior wall rendering. If you have the money, fire on with the bricks. It makes the house everlasting and differentiates your build from the rest within the neighbourhood.

If only I have some idea what the difference will be. I'll keep digging until am able to find a side by side comparison. Thanks for your time.

If dealing with matured and responsible elderly men is what you’d like, he’s a sure deal.

He’s one of the most respected elderly person I’ve ever met physically on nairaland and he’s got game and style.

This is a budget build. You can achieve the designs without breaking bank. You just need a smart and creative team.

What is the response of the Contractor to those Chat messages you sent to him?
Is it a must that this Contractor must do your job?
Are you open to other Contractors doing it for you?
Has he commenced work for you already
