Day 7- We started laying the blocks.(1bricklayer and 1laborer) this was possible due to the German floor,all the blocks were moved to the center of the building. the ratio of the sand for 1bag of cement is 20 headpan.

Still local bricklayer approach
1bags of cement to 20 head pan of sand

We are leaning..:

olukaygold:
That's your thought you can't sound professional criticising fellow human on the same field.bro! Pls take one chair,have a sit and follow up. You can't know it all alone...stay tuned

We are following you that is why I see it that it’s not a professional builders approach to use such small number of cement 20 bags to achieve this.
But as a bricklayer approach its possible bcs one is a professional(Builder)while the second one is a SKILLED LABOUR ( bricklayer)

olukaygold:
Both sir,though I learnt bricklaying for 3yrs, Studied Civil Engineering at Kwara Polytechnic(ND) at the same time 2012-2015.
Work in almost all Universities in Southwest and have work for Europeans Constructing Contemporary building at SMC Shagamu.

You have tried, But with all these you still NOT A BUILDER

olukaygold:
I'm an Expertised Builder,equipped with bunks of experiences .after many years at service then I sat down to practicalised what I've learnt so far.Pls stay tuned
Note
The project has already completed to roofing level.

Expertise BUILDER or BRICKLAYER ?

A builder will use about 50bags of cement to construct this type of building bcs they are professional in the field.

A bricklayer will use 20-25bags of cement to achieve this.

There is a BIG diff btw BUILDER and BRICKLAYER.

It’s just like comparing someone who knows how to paddle Canoe to A SAILOR

Yah hoooooo! Yippie! Finally o.

Hajji M.

Yes o finally... the crazy rise in price of tiles and others item this days is nothing to write home about.

amosblisz:
This would be very helpful to manage funds

Yes it will save client some cost
You just need to add little to daily pay to worker with good expert supervision to achieve this.

This will save you about 250-300k to do outside wall screeding of a duplex.

uncleteeh:
Sure.
@amosbliz
The greatest determinant is just the shape of the land. A plot of land could have a great rectangular shape, it can also be badly shaped that it will not contain anything great.

Sincerely, @rotecch77 owe me one build at least.

Amen.
I will be waiting for the call in the nearest future.
Thanks baba

Thanks chief

You deliver one of the best, if not the best, plastering jobs on display here.
I'm hoping we can sub-contract plastering stage to you in future jobs given our unpleasant experience managing a crew the last time around.

keep it up.

Thanks chief
We are trying to see how we can reduce uses of outside screeding for the purpose of wall (smoothing) in most of our work to save clients some cost. Unless if it’s for another purpose.
Bcs I can see that most screeding now is to correct walls that are not well plastered.

And come to think of it, you hardly see such in old building and there wall finishings are superb.

Here are some pics of our diff site location plastering work.

Thanks Sir,
Your explanations and sketch drawings really shed light on the options.
I think l will be using this method
God Bless.

My appreciation to all others who also contributed brilliant ideas, to my request

You are welcome sir

Personal123:
I like the design of the roof of this building, please what does it cost and can I see the picture from the back? To see how slopy it is.

Visit this thread for more info about the building

Greenarrow01:
Carcas means with roofing right
Roofing and doors.but no plastering ?


You are doing a great job sir

Yes with roof and door frame

Greenarrow01:
Boss
Are you still under the 2m budget to this point ?

Noo, The 2m stop at carcass ONLY.

rotecch77:
Hello everyone, let me just do this for the 1st time here, like one of ogas builder use to asked

Check this our ongoing bakery/office building.
Which door do you think is the best btw these two locally made doors

The door will be fix at the frontage of the building (up and down opening)

...Modified.
1st is stainless door , locally made
2nd is steel antirust locally made door 130k

I asked for your opinions some days ago about perfect door for this structure and I really appreciate your contributions.
Final the client chooses the stainless one but I later modified the design to this.
Pic attached.
External plastering almost done, the doors will be installed soon.

Outside rendering Almost done

Chief, thanks a lot,, l really appreciate your detailed response.

With reference to the highlighted part: Can l add the Surface Pump, with the Riser pipe, to the existing normal borehole Submersible Pump setup?

What l mean it, if l can get the riser pipe down to the position where the water level is, side-by-side with that of the 'Riser of the Submersible pump' (or even beyond it), do you think that would work?

Since the Submersible's job is to bring up water from deep down the hole and the job of the surface pump is also to suck up water from the hole, the difference is that one is on the surface with a pipe extended down into the hole, while for the other, the pipe is extended to meet the Pump, down below.

Thank you Sir.

@bixton Thank you very much Sir.
I am still on a quest to use a single borehole, two separate pumps with separate Riser Pipes, running on different electricity lines such that if the electricity supply for one pump is ON/OFF, [b]it does not affect the other pump.


Lastpage!

@ bolded area ( according to your replied to my earlier post) its possible to used both surface and submersible pump together.
But you need to make sure that the pump capacity is enough to pump the water according to the water level of the bore hole.
More so you need to redo another iron bore hole cover to be able to accommodate the double pipe
See the attached sketch

Current update will surface soon

Fence work in progress

Thanks guys.
I want the two pumps to get power from their separate Electric Meters, two separate Buildings side-by-side, otherwise l will be settling quarrels.
But l want to avoid digging a second Borehole even as sharing the borehole makes the water better as it enjoys more usage. Water level in the area is high so supplying the pumps should not be a problem.

Thanks, still expecting more opinions from more gurus in the house

I am hoping that the Big bore Pipe can contain a second Pump and if it can, how to go about it.

It is NOT POSSIBLE to have 2 separate SUBMERSIBLE pump inside ONE BORE HOLE
*Reason •*
In most case the diameter of domestic bore hole is 100~150mm and the diameter of submersible pump is 75-90mm and when installed the riser pipe will be at the CENTER point of the bore hole.
With this 2 submersible pump CANNOT work

UNLESS you are using SURFACE PUMP with this the pump will be installed at the ground surface then riiser pipe go down down into the bore hole ton-suck water and discharge it into the over head tank.
With this you can have like 3 separate pump and be working independently on there own.

But the issue here is that NOT ALL BORE HOLE can have this system work due to the water level bcs ONLY SPECIAL SURFACE PUMP can do the work unless if it’s a SHALLOW bore hole with water level of around 10-15ft if not the pump will not suck the water
But ( the system of surface pump ) it can work perfectly OK in WELL WATER of like 10-20 ft water level

Modified
If your bore hole water levels is deeper than 20ft and your need separate pump by all means to do such work then I can only recommend a special industrial surface pump of higher capacity for you.
But it’s very costly to do the set up

How much is this?

Which design did you need

I and oga rotech are going to the site on Thursday! He is the contractor I am using! Can u send me ur contact number so i can get back to you on Thursday... By then i should be able to tell you when exactly it would be needed..
