Please whatsbthe cost of 12mm iron rod and how many will i need for a 3 bedroom flat ensuite

Aforxzy:
No sir..

Aforxzy:
No this ratio is not good at all.

In actual fact your ratio is 1:4: 4.5 cos one 50kg bag of cement is two pans of cement. This ratio is poor and weak concrete for swamp.

For foundation I always recommend 1:1.5:3 otherwise
you can do the standard 1:2:4 ( one bag of cement , 4 pans of sharp sand and 8 pans of granite)

I guess you are asking if necessary to carry out soil test for burgalow?

Yes sir..if the site is questionable

Prinzton:

Is the floor a mass concrete or reinforced concrete floor? As the mix ratio for both differs.

My own case is quite funny...
Bought a land for 4m in 2020 in Ogun state(half plot). Now this is the twist.
The land is a 2 plot of land (120 by 60 *2), fence round but this seller decided to sell one plot (120 by 50), then sold half for me for 120 by 25, what they have remaining was 120 by 45....
At first, I got a buyer for the last one but the person did not buy because he insisted that it's not a full plot (120by45)...
One Alhaji later got it, when Alhaji started foundation, enter my own space and they call my attention, luckily na the same person sell the land for all of us...na so argument start o, Alhaji insisted that his land is 120by60, and that he's a surveyor and nobody can cheat him, luckily for me, the seller insisted that what he sold for Alhaji is 120by45....
Na the wahala we dey drag, I have a receipt but Alhaji no get, He just transferred money to them...
When Alhaji got info that I paid 4m, he was mad because they collected 11M from him...He felt cheated so he say he won't buldge...Oga come and shift ur foundation now, na d wahala we dey o..
On a low key, I dey fear Alhaji because he looks like one old Abija, one of this herbalist for Yoruba movie, make d man no come nak me jazz...so I just dey try calm am down, dey respect am..moreso, Alhaji is a surveyor, with years of experience but he was jus unlucky because he was not around when he made payment..Alhaji is older than my father...We have been on it for like 4 month now...I just weak

baba attached the pictures so i can advice.. thanks

segcymoor:


Yes.. it's quiet advisable to run comprehensive soil test to determine suitable foundation...; But then building may vibrate even with good foundation

erico2k2:

Not everywhere has it, I was lucky at my End nothing like that so one can brng anyone from anywhere to work.
However if you have them the best way is to deal with the head of the CDC to sort everything and provide you with recipt for all payment

bolu1986:

Good day ladies and gents...

I am about to embark on a new project in Uyo.... its a 1250sqm Land already fenced and gated

I am a first time builder and i've already contracted an Architect for the building plan (Though he's a friend) I never wanted to involve friend or anyone i know in this project but due to persuasion and other factors, I've decided to give him a chance to prove his worth (Though he has handled lot of mega projects) I'm just doubtful since we are closer and may take me for ride.

Not withstanding, the crux of the matter here is I would like to know the things that will be required for the projects (He has given me his list) but I would like to get more information to make this project go on smoothly.

I am planning to build a 4 bedroom bungalow with a study and a spare room for Laundry/Inverter Room

Blocks will be molded on site, The Land is a dry land and the road does not flood .... I want to build in a small portion of the land and the rest will be for future usage....

How many trips of Sharp sand will be needed for this project?
How many tonnes of granite is needed (And what type) He quoted for 40 tonnes for the project to go far
How many bags of cement would be required to mold the required blocks for the project?
What type of rods needed here?

I am inquiring about this because i am not always around due to my project i am handling in Warri at the moment

You need the regular building approval and an EIA Report,
Traffic Analysis depending on the project size.
