Cement from calculation is 4 bags or 5bags max
10mm rebar is 12 pcs.

Goodluck

Thanks chief do u think the 10mm rebar will be sufficient for the gutter slab or would it be best to do a double 12mm or a single 16mm?

I've seen water tanks mounted directly on decked portions of a roof, but never a water tank on a tank stand mounted on a roof.

Usually when u put the water tan on the decked portion of the roof the hight isn't enough to get good water pressure for the top flats shower n water heater. So u add a tank stand on the decking of 5 to 6ft to solve that. And also tank on concrete decking Usually causes issues for the decking directly if there is any leakage of the tank. So it's best u lift if from the concrete.

Wait o, are you implying that the tank stand would be mounted on the roof of a house? That would be a first for me, if so. Would love to see a picture after installation.

Would be mounted on a kitchen decking. Nothing special

You can engage a surveyor or you apply for charting information at the office of the state surveyor general. 08069018449

Basically, the Surveyor will pick the coordinates of the land and chart it on the base map of the state to know if theland is govt acquisition land or not.
Thanks very much for this. How much would charting a 900 sqm cost ?

SurveyorGeo:


One of the reasons you need to chart a land to know it's status before buying the land. We have land within government acquisition and land not in government acquisition, you can't know which is which with the physical eyes. This message has been over preached on this forum. No one should be a victim.

How do u chart a land please?

Hello house in a case where an amendment is to be done in a bungalow. I am insisting on moving the visitors toilet entrance to be inside the sitting room rather than in the varrender. So we need to both extend the v.t and put a wall to close out the varrender.

Would it be necessary to put a beam before setting the blocks or would the weight sit well on the German floor when casted?

And would an extra beam be needed on the lintel level too or we can just raise the blocks to leveling level?

Technically you're not doing a German Floor on this project....

So, it won't seat well... Dig the foundation and start the block from a few courses inside the ground

Raise the block all the way, it's not carrying any load except self.

Goodluck

So assuming it was a longer wall would it have needed the coping beam. And lintel level beam to attach the new structure to the formal 1?

Mrnairalandd:


This is exactly what i did, i moved the toilet from the veranda to the living room. Initially, my siblings kicked against it but happy after the work was done.

The builder blocked the entrance to the toilet at the veranda and created a new entrance from the living room. It is beautiful. Those who kicked against it suddenly fell in love with it when the toilet was moved to the living room.

Yes I would have done that here too but the position of the v.t is in the room. So we can't put an entrance in the palor except we extend the v.t by 3ft to accommodate an internal door.
You ll eventually love it…

Pls can #1m lay the foundation of a 3 bedroom flat?

It will lay the foundation in delta, if u are building on a dry land. And u doing a strip foundation. But that amount won't include filling the foundation with filling sand.

We are also assuming that the amount doesn't include settlement of community and the likes.

Bross leave the toilet outside,. I don't think I will be comfortable sitting outside a toilet door facing me directly knowing full well someone is taking a shyte there. I have not seen anywhere in the western world where you can enter and exit a toilet direct from a living room but yet Nigerians seem to have perfect this scene!
Thanks for this. I just feel the varrender is too long tho
