kopell: Even though I’m working on that axis right now, I’m really not following the coastal road project any longer... but all I can say is the project is in the preliminaries. They’re still dealing with encroachment and realignment. I hope this get completed in the next 2 decade. The Lekki/Epe expansion that got started almost 2 decades ago is still not completed |

n3xt:Nah so ooo, it’s may take even more then 2 decades. Lekki epe is a good example. But don’t let us lose hope, do you see what is happening in shagamu interchange recently. That country is unpredictable 1 Like

africaflozy:Does it matter if it is packed in square feet or square meters? At the end of the day all you want is titles of specific area in your space. Just be consistent with the unit when measuring and when buying the required quantity. Tip Google can convert any area unit to your preferred unit. |

Bigwig02:Please don't do that you will regret it, termites will find a path through the tiles and attack wooden components of the building, precipitation and moisture will damage the Inside of your building, during raining season, the floors without concrete layers will be damp and thus affect the interior of the building, you beds and any other things in room in contact with the floor will end up being wet, and you will notice water going up your walls, wall paintings will be peeling off and the wall plasters will swell up. Because the the concrete layer should act as a damp proof course, and without that, dampness and moisture will make the house uncomfortable. I suggest you do concrete floor but reduce the thickness to about 3 inches, with that you can save cost. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Guys egbami o. My contractor just gave me a bill of 4.8m for the foundation stage of a 4 bedroom duplex here in Ibadan. Just foundation stage alone. Does this make sense guys? Is this how expensive things have really become ni? Omo I shock no be small |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Valuepaints20(m): 11:23pm On Jul 10, 2021 |
Nice plan |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by sonnie10: 11:51pm On Jul 10, 2021 |
Folorunsho15:Depending on the soil type but a a dry stable land let just throw some figure around till German floor 2500 of 9” blocks at 230 = 575000 160 bag of cement at 3400 =544000 80 pieces of 16mm at 7200 =576000 100 piece of 12mm at 4400 = 440000 50 pieces of 8mm at 2200 = 110000 60 tons of stone clippings 260k x 2 = 520k Sharp sand 200k Filling sand 200k Planks and other wood 200k Binding wire 50k Bag of nails 30k Water 30k Dig foundations 100k Mason to Set 2400 block = 120000 Iron bender 50k Carpenter 30k Other labours 50k Supervision 300k Transportation of materials 50k Total 4,175,000 Therefore, your contractor might be right to an extent. By the time you start adding Dpc nylon, gee pee tank, clearing of site, storage for materials, material for settling the foundation etc its almost that amount. |

sonnie10:Baba 4.5 million is too much for a foundation of 4 bedroom duplex, forget all this figures and calculation you did up there 6 Likes |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 2:20am On Jul 11, 2021 |
Folorunsho15:It is too much, you contractor must be a ripper, unless his buying a lot of building materials for other stages, but if it is just for foundation, it is too much, but that will also depend on the size of the building. |

sonnie10: I recently did N6m+ for foundation of a 5 bedroom (on 3 levels) to First Floor slab in Ibadan. N3.5m should do a foundation in Ibadan without compromises. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by n3xt(m): 3:27am On Jul 11, 2021 |
Folorunsho15: N4.8m is too much for the foundation of a 4 bedroom duplex but it depends on your foundation design though. I just got out of the foundation of 5 units of 5 bedroom duplex (on 3 levels) with less than 15m for all the foundations using TMT iron rods all through. Economies of scale and construction efficiency at play here though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLBgEAA6LYw https://www.nairaland.com/6576114/construction-journal-nonuplets-nexthome

n3xt: The quote for rods is not too much. For reasons I won’t want get into here, when quoting for foundation, it is better to include all iron rods with ground floor columns. How many columns do you think a modest 4 bedroom duplex foundation would have? For those won’t you need the 16mm rod? I would assume it would have up to 20 - 25 columns. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by n3xt(m): 4:19am On Jul 11, 2021 |
sonnie10: Modest 4 Bedroom Duplex would do fine with 24 columns. With 24 columns, you’d only require 16 lengths of 16mm iron rod to produce a 2m length starter column required in foundation. It could be more depending on the height of your foundation. With 30 columns, you’d require 20 lengths of 16mm iron rod to produce a 2m length starter column. 1 Like

Hello my good people. I have seen some imported/ready made furniture showroom on nairaland but I am currently unable to locate any of the links. Anyone with those link can reply with the link thanks |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by n3xt(m): 5:07am On Jul 11, 2021 |
Dijita: Considering your project location, Ikota Shopping Complex might be your best place to shop for options if you’re looking for what you see is that you get. Get someone to visit the complex and show you what they have. There are over hundred of shops selling great furnitures there. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by sonnie10: 5:13am On Jul 11, 2021 |
Dijita:Imported furniture get grade but the good ones are out of reach. Locally made ones with quality materials are better. |
