Happy to have a project here as this will give people in diaspora some insight as to cost of labor, materials in Owerri area. I am following on, cheers. What size of granite is used at this stage and what is the cost per tipper load
Is there a current sources for cost of materials? Its an area Nigerians should be encouraged to develop such data base online so people could consult such sites and have some inisghts

This foundation better be very deep, I saw signs of serious erosion around this area.

Well done.Foundation is deep in deed. May I ask, what size of rod is that for the pillars. Is it ok to use 12mm for pillars?

If the structural engineer specified 12mm in your site, then go ahead and use it. I am using 16mm rods in this site.
More pictures in a moment.

Welcome, the steps you saw in the last pictures are for casting of the column bases. Those holes will be filled with concrete before we place the iron mats on top of them. Thereafter we cast the foundation blinding a further 300mm before laying blocks on them.

The pictures I will send this night will make the above explanation clearer.

Foundation iron mat ready

Re: Construction Of A 6 Bedroom Duplex At Owerri by spyder880(m): 10:15pm On Aug 22, 2013
The column starters...16mm all through

Re: Construction Of A 6 Bedroom Duplex At Owerri by spyder880(m): 10:18pm On Aug 22, 2013
Now we blinded the column bases and added the 'baskets'

Re: Construction Of A 6 Bedroom Duplex At Owerri by spyder880(m): 10:20pm On Aug 22, 2013

Re: Construction Of A 6 Bedroom Duplex At Owerri by spyder880(m): 10:22pm On Aug 22, 2013

Re: Construction Of A 6 Bedroom Duplex At Owerri by Fhemmmy: 11:45pm On Aug 22, 2013
Show us pix oh
Re: Construction Of A 6 Bedroom Duplex At Owerri by dude22: 2:50am On Aug 23, 2013
If after German floor you feel there is need for more pillars what could be done. Could you add more rods to the existing ones to strengthen them like making it 6 instead of usual 4?. What is your opinion. Thanks
Also what is the cement:sand:concrete ratio for this cast here? It doesn't look like there is enough water in the mix
Re: Construction Of A 6 Bedroom Duplex At Owerri by civilianism: 9:46am On Aug 23, 2013
spyder880: creating the 'steps'
