It is best to pour the foundation for the fence when pouring for the building, you can leave the fence at foundation level, it would be much cheaper to complete than to start pouring after the building has been raised 1 Like |

If Ÿ̲̣̣̣̥ø̲̣̣̥u̶̲̥̅̊ want to buy sand, i.e sharp sand or plaster sand, let tipper trucks supply you because tipper trucks A̶̲̥̅яε 5 tons. 20 tons truck A̶̲̥̅яε not up to 20 tons in size aπϑ they will тєℓℓ you that their truck will carry load of 4 times what a 5 tons tipper will carry. Its a lie! aπϑ also don't let them bobo you that dredging sand is the best, albeit dredging sand is good, but if you A̶̲̥̅яε building your house aπϑ its not too far from Oworonshoki or Ilaje Bariga, buy your sand from either of the 2 aforementioned places. If not, suppliers will тєℓℓ you that they A̶̲̥̅яε bringing the sand from Badagry or Ikorodu, thereby charge you high. They may even ѕαу Bariga of Oworonshoki sand isn't good ℓi̶̲̥̅k̲̅e̶̲̥̅ dredging sand, its a pure scam! There A̶̲̥̅яε houses around my house in Bariga that were built in the 70s aπϑ 80s, aπϑ they haven't been renovated- not even once. Call me for supply of sharp sand, filling sand, plaster sand , aπϑ granite 08067174310 |

By doin the ceiling with the roof carcass, do you mean the ceiling boards? Won't rain spoil the boards before you finally roof the building? |

Build vertical not horizontal. Its far cheaper. Multi-rise buildings instead of these repulsive shanties people call houses everywhere. |

vanbonattel: Do you know how much a trip of sand or stone cost? Even if you dont dig ur soakaway to use the sand, u will still dig it later , waste the sand and still use labour to evacuate the sand. Read no 2 again. it is for rocky terrains. If you are building in lekki, there are no rocks there and as such the advise is not for you. The water is also salty so, no need digging ur water. For ppl asking of no 3. i meant the ceiling wood works . 3 Likes |
