Counting down to Finish.

More on Brick Works

pato405:
where exactly is this estate? and what's the cost of a plot here? any idea pls?

Arcadia Groove Estate. Femi Okunu St. Off the road beside the new Shoprite in Lekki.

Land can be above 50m for a Plot.

We saw up the Shape of our Head Board.

We saw up our Solid Core Wood For Doors

In preparation for Master's Bed

Girls room Wood Works

And today we resume Brick Works

Beulah09:
Was the DPC casting done or was it postponed?

DPC Was done as promised. Pictures below.

Complete Reinforcement and Mechanical Works for drains as we prepare for concrete Cast.

Beulah09:
Now that you are ready for casting, is there any test that is conducted to confirm that none of the pipes are leaking? Something like a leak detection test?

There is no need doing a Leak Test on the pipes run. Its as simple as just Pouring water and ensuring it links out.

This is it. Pipes that require more technical Leak Test is the pressure/Supply Pipes. Waste pipe never have water on them except when you flush. or waste water. This is unlike the supply pipes that have water constantly waiting to be released. Whats important when installing waste and soil pipes is to ensure you use the Thickest and more solid version, seal properly, and Ensure when your pour water it drains out via its outlet.

Also Even While we plaster First floor Internal Walls and we did on ground floor internal walls

Even With the Arrival of our Roof Wood

Still on Masonry works

Beulah09:
Good work. How many days of filling with water before casting the DPC?

When are you planning the casting of the DPC considering the logistics challenge you mentioned?

Did you do a soil test or how did you arrive at the foundation design?

We are working towards casting dpc on Saturday. So after filling, you can reinforce and cast immediately

There was no need for soil Test done because it's a storey building and the estate have okayed the land for construction in a memo that contains the building codes. According to the estate documents, Soil Test is required when you have above 2 floors.

There was no need for soil Test done because it's a storey building and we could assume the land was solid enough from the surrounding. Also the estate have okayed the land for construction. Soil Test is required when you have above 2 floors in such an area.

The manual mixer is faster? I would have thought the truck is.

Same quality in the mix and monolithic foundation I assume.

Approximately how much do you think you would have paid to fill the forms had you used the truck mixer?

I mean it has a speed advantage over manual labour mix. Meaning its faster than manual labour mix.


Truck Mixers can be as much and 21,100/m3

Conclusion of filling as we prepare for Mechanical and Reinforcement works.

External Storm Drain Outlet

What you get when you use 30 year old boys and lie that they are 22 and Below. Lack of reaction and Energy. Slow to react and cant even defend. YIMU!!!

msogunro:
Thanks Skimanski.

I've seen concrete mixer trucks in Lagos and I've seen it used on one of the Nairalnad builds. For such a large quantity of concrete, why aren't concrete mixer trucks used over manual mixing and dumping?

I imagine there would be significant benefits in filling the forms in a few hours than filling it in a day or two - efficiency, better quality monolithic concrete pour. I don't know their cost so that may be the reason why its not widely used.

The cost of Concrete from Mixer Trucks is more than that of the manual ones. The advantage over Manual Labour mix is Speed. Its way faster for sure. So as a result where its advantage can be significant is if you have a lager size of concrete requirement and little time to complete concrete cast, then you can opt for mixers. except you have money to show off.

wanaj0:
How long after the casting the raft before sand filling can be done? How long after sand filling before doing the DPC?

Once Casting is done, you can take off form work after 24hrs and start filling immediately.

Due to Logistics, we started filling yesterday. Below are pics from yesterday.
