Thanks all for ur input, this particular client is trying by all means to reduce the cost of this building so telling him to do roof beam is like a wasting of effort and time cos he will tell U he didn't do that in his first building and it is still standing till date .I wish clients will come to understand that no part of Building elements is not necessary.

We perfectly understand. He even tried using columns for a bungalow without parapet. Many clients wouldn't do that.

Hello people.

I will like to have some inputs and advice concerning my situation. 

I have just completed the foundation for my twin flats (2bed and 1bedroom) and I'm about to take a decision on the German flooring. 

Due to cost constraints I have at the moment, I'm forced to think of other options that will possibly achieve the same end results. 

Instead of German flooring, I'm considering a 150mm thick concrete layer on the blocks alone throughout the entire foundation. I'm of the opinion that this option will stop ingress of moisture from the soil to the superstructure, prevent insects and rodents from moving through the soil to the roof, offer some sort of atabilizatin for the building and of course drastically reduce the cost associaTed with filling the entire foundation with concrete.

I'll like that you please look into my idea and advise me based on your experience.

Thanks in advance

go ahead with ur plan bro,u are on point .

A positive review Straight from my heart:

First of all, I will introduce myself before someone starts thinking I was contracted to do this. I want to drop this review for stancydg. My screen name is jejelady as everyone as seen. I joined nairaland sometimes in 2004 shortly after relocating to the USA out of boredom. Sometimes in 2013-2014, I was frequent on the travel section helping visa lottery winners to settle in dallas, TX. (You can do your own background check). Facebook name is BeetheFavored. I did not start working until after a year due to some medical issues. However, I'm so industrious and my mom compelled me and my siblings (6 in total) to buy a land in Ado-Odo otta back in 2005. We ended up buying 2 acres of land (allocating 2 plots each to each sibling with 1 plot at N120K). We had fraud issues upon issues from omo-onile to our cousin embezzling all the money we sent to fence the whole land. My siblings and I finally got discouraged and resented from developing the land despite my mom's pleas.

In 2014, I decided to take a bold step by developing my own portion of the land but again, Omo-onile came to face and I eventually spent the whole money meant for the development to fight and win the battle of baale in courtesy of my mom and a late aunt. Another issue was contracting a friend to help build the foundation which was considered as total rubbish and waste of funds. Then I gave up.

I've been following the property section lately and I ran into stancydg's post of getting a condo for 3.8M in the same area. I called him and made some very good background check about him. Found out that he was real but explained my situation to him. Well, he said he was honest but I wouldn;t believe it.

To my utmost surprise, I am happy to share with you the ongoing pictures of what Stancy (company is called paradysty) has been doing on my land.

To Stancy,
Even though I have never laid my eyes on you, I have known for barely a month and you have put my money to work by fulfilling my dreams. I have called you my destiny helper. I can prove to the whole world that you are NOT a SCAM. You worked according to my budget event though you have told me several times that my taste is higher than Idanre Hills. I know I'm not the only client you have but you are ready to listen to me and you call me "bosslady" or "bossress" despite calling you in the wee hours in Nigerian time. You are respectful and as I have promised, I will follow you to prostrate at Tiwalade's house next year by God's grace. Please keep up the good work and honesty. Hope to see you soon in Nigeria.

To anyone reading this post:
I'm uploading more pictures

More screenshots of our whatsapp chats before we got into business.

Now these are the pictures of the dead project Stancydg has brought back to life. He had to pull down some of the foundation that I had on it by my inexperienced friend and remodeled it into something like this.

Stancy, you may wonder why I'm doing this but each day I think about the progress on this project and how faithful you have been, I remember how many discouraged nigerians in diaspora like me who are willing to meet someone like you but they have been falling into wrong hands. Even though you are now working for most of my family and friends here, I would still like the world to know that there are loyal contractors here on nairaland.

Now the German Floor Pictures:

This was one of the happiest days in my mom's life. She can't wait to meet you (Stancydg)

Jejelady please carry on. If your man is good as you present him, then I might just reconsider building bricks-and-mortar style.
To avoid stress I'd decided to buy a containerised structure from Tempohousing and just drop the thing on the land jeje.

Super-structure which is ongoing at the moment. I know I have not been patient with you on this one but abeg no vex. I have gone back and forth, said words to upset you and my uncle on this part of the project but guess what, that's one of those things you encounter when dealing with women... All the same, I have learnt to be patient from your silence and respect. My fiance and my mom have also reprimanded me for not giving you guys a benefit of doubt.

I believe people will rush to a thread when they get scammed but few or no one comes back to say THANK YOU or drop a review for a job well done.
Dropping reviews do not only increase chances of business opportunities but it saves a lot of fellow hardworking people from scammers and unnecessary headaches.

I'll be glad to read any other reviews of stancydg's works (be it positive or negative) but as for me, I will give you a 5-star rating from your customer service skills, professionalism, respect and level of engagement in this project. You even contracted my god-son in Nigeria to supervise for you whenever I permit you to go to Akure to see our lovely wife-to-be.

Everyone including my parents know that I love to do MOST of my things online: meet friends, shop, school, worship and now meeting you online which has never been a regret to me.

Thanks for all that you do and please continue putting me on my toes for a successful completion of this project.

Jejelady.


Hmmmm. I have completed this posts before I realized that I'm not even on Stacydg's thread. I'm so sorry tevanso for bombarding your thread with the wrong post. I permit it to be deleted by you or the moderator if need be.

Stancydg is really good and like I said, he will work with your budget provided that it can build an approved standard building.

Words can't describe how grateful I am for this review jejelady. I was only hoping to update my other threads sometime during the week with pictures and details from kickoff to where we are now, but you took it off me. What better way to hear than from the horse's mouth. I am super grateful and very many thanks for this positive review. I believe the Lord has granted us the strength to keep you satisfied throughout the rest of the process. I appreciate you ma.

@jejelady u would have created a dedicated thread for the review. It would have been more appropriate. Pls do for subsequent reviews.

we are finally at the end of the project, sorry I have not been updating this post, but I think its necessary for me to update the latest pix of the project

.

More updates pls
