@tevanso
Can you Pls show us some picture sir

like I said in my previous post I don't have the pix but I have done it before .

yak:
thank you.
one more thing! is anything wrong with building a 3 bedroom apartment with only 6" blocks only?

use 9inches block for the external walls and use 6 inches for the partitions

yak:
so, I can just use concrete to cover the block holes round and about. especially the external walls?

u can only do that for the interior walls meanwhile u have to block part of the holes with rubbles before casting to avoid waste of materials

.we are through with block work

genkins:
@ tevanso..so far u are the only one on this forum that has come up with the best solution regarding how to remedy building a house without dpc so far.I hope its practicable cos I did not do dpc or DPM but have floored tho yet to tile.ur option would suggest I break the flooring,or better still increase my floor level by 4inches..am I right?

break the interior part of the block so that the concrete u are going to cast can enter inside the block and block the hole .

brownlord:
Yes I asked for two board of raft. But I think it's too much

no its okay sir

CNN80:
Hello, Can anyone please help with an estimate for building a wall round 6 plots of land in Ikorodu? A low wall.

specify the height u want the fence to reach and I will give u accurate quote

brownlord:
I'm in same situation, 6 plot of land at Ibeju Lekki, was surprised someone quoted 5.6 million for me.

don't be surprised, urs will require raft foundation and concrete pillars for the fence

JOF2:

bro German floor is a structure on its own and it has its own function. don't have a 2nd thought about it now that u can do it,although u can decide to reduce the thickness. just my one cent

.

being busy lately I have being unable to update with pictures. we are through with the lintel and at level block now

[quote author=Babs612000 post=58600244][/quote]I don't have the pix but I have done something of such before

sometimes I laff on how people rush to give quote on a half brief. 1.The type of land either water logged or dry is not specified 2.The taste of the Op's finishing is not stated 3.The duration he wants it done 4.The location is not stated All these factors and more will determine the cost of the building.

EgunMogaji:
Won't this be compromising the credibility of the wall?

the breaking will be on one layer of the block,which will be filled up with concrete.

johnson232:
Edo state sir

aiit Edo state has a very solid land .Red sand majorly

valacious:
If at beginning of a building you skipped German floor due to cash constraints, what can you do to remedy the consequences you talked about when you are now financially buoyant, just before flooring and completing the house?

what u need to do is to break the lower part of the block so that the concrete can enter inside the block to cover up the void and make the thickness of the concrete at least 4inches .I think u will understand what i am trying to explain.

yak:
I asked a question about material use especially block and cement. plz update. thanks

we have bought 3500 blocks so far and 100 bags of cement, 30 wood

johnson232:
okay sir

meanwhile, where is the location of ur land

johnson232:
Seems there are alot of financial constraint on this project...

financial constraints u said.
The owner is trying to economise his resources.

johnson232:
Does this 800k include gate sir?

just add 80k for gate

Still on lintel ,we are trying to manage the limited numbers of wood we bought.

filcast:
Thanks for this. How did you arrive at 6400 blocks? Is it 9in, 6in, hollow or solid? What about iron rods for the pillars? Angled block?
Also how many tonnes of granite/sand make up a truck.

I arrived at that no from my calculation, 9 inches hollow block, the pillars will be made up of blocks.tell the person supplying u sand the amount of tonnes u want

klark3:
Nice analysis.
how many coach did u use sir?
but i am not seeing any provision for water. that thing can gulp money if provision like borehole or well isn't made. All these GP tanks will just turn buckets when work starts.

10 courses of blocks .digging of well or borehole preferably, I don't like the idea of buying water for site work

filcast:
hello house, I want to fence the property whose plan is attached. pls assist me with the material requirement. thanks in advance.
Note: The perimeter is 226.97meters.

160 bags of cement = 424,000
6400 blocks x 180=1,152,000
Excavation 60,000
Bricklayer 380,000
Blinding 50,000
sand 40tonnes 60,000
granite 20tonnes 50,000
100,000 contingency
Total =N 2,276,000
