Hello Dear Nairaland Followers.

We are pleased to announce to you the birthing of our latest Project to be located at Aro ndi Izuogu Kingdom in Okigwe Imo State.

This project is going to spring up in between existing buildings in the premises. It's a 4 plot property and my client is trying to uphold the legacy of his father through the erection of a world class royal architectural marvel and at the same time we would be renovating all the existing structures namely, main building (Bungalow), Boys quarters and a palace.

Our New Proposed Structures comprises of the following.

- 5 Bedroom Royal Duplex all room ensuite.
- 1 Storey Gate house with two self contain flats.
- Gen House

The proposed carcass cost of the proposed structures we are about to erect is - #80m

Here also, we are bound to finish this project in 10months - 12months Max. We intend to do carcass for 3 - 4 Months Max and use the rest for finishing because we would be doing so much detailing during finishing. We would try to see how far and fast we will battle with the rainy season which we are into already to get that time frame actualized.

Our Team are already on ground.
We are doing our preliminary works of which some of it is as follows:
- Changing the existing windows of the main building Bungalow
- Doing a geological survey for borehole
- We were given a depth recommendation of 300Fit for the borehole in this property for a cost of 3.8m because the ground has rocks beneath and rig will be used for the borehole operation.
- Next will be for us to begin the main building setting out as soon as the borehole is set.

Find attached the 3D model of this proposed project and keep in mind that we are going to build it with 99% accuracy level. Yes, you heard me.

As usual we will be updating this thread on every activity of this project. So stay tuned with us on it. Thank you for

We urge you to follow this thread.
Be the first to know how we are going to bring this structure to reality.

We are sure you will have questions and comments to make the thread interactive enough.

Thank you as you follow.

More views of this structure

We have arrived at site.
Everywhere is very bushy.
So we will be doing site clearing first.

There are lots of trees that will be uprooted and cut away so site clearing is gonna take up to 3 - 5 Days to prepare the ground. The Trees here are not small trees

Find attached in the picture is the existing palace that we Will be remodeling much later in the project...

Arial 3D Views of the Project.

We had a market survey today to ascertain the price of Things around the market here.

From Planks, to woods, to irons. I was a bit surprised to discover that they have full standard irons and less standard irons here.

The former to be full Guage and the later to be less than full diameter of the reinforcements.

Anyways, by our standard, we will be going for full Guage because we can't put down or quality of works for any lesser cost.

Of course it is pertinent to note that the cost of full Guage is always and normally more expensive than the less Guage.

Documents for Construction set.
Here we have Architectural Design, Structural Design, Electrical Design and Mechanical Design

We have started buying some materials

We saw irons for these amounts here for Full Guage (Standard)

16mm - 16,800
12mm - 9,600
10mm - 7,400
8mm - 4,200
Binding Wire - 35,000
Cement - 7,500


Like this, we already bought reinforcements that will take us to the decking
These prices were lesser than this as at last week when I made enquiry.

Dollar rise again have started affecting prices here again in the east

More procurement is ongoing already and site preparation ongoing too.

About 400 Bags of Cement is paid for and supplied for a start already by us.

We have bought over 900 Lengths of irons from 16mm to 12mm, 10mm and 8mm. And 10! Bundles of binging wires are all available on site now.

We don't intend to waste time or delay.

We have started forming our colum base basket, starter pillars and rings for the project as shown below.

We have also visited some block industry in this area to ascertain the blocks we are going to be using as well.

We have started our colum base and starter colum reinforcements works.

Building is not for the faint of heart anymore o.
Keep up the good job, Oga mi.

Definitely for sure.
Inflation is shootings way up beyond the reach of the average man

More materials are arriving.

This is the sure Arial View...

Remember we are doing three structures here.

1. Main Building Duplex
2. Gate house is one storey two self contains
3. Generator house

Good day all.
Keep following up with us

Where else could I be, if not with my Oga.

Good morning ogami

Thanks for following through once again

We just did our first ground breaking today here after setting out the main Duplex and the security house.

The soil is looking very strong and some stone in it.

We are doing borehole too simultaneously.

Estimated depth of the borehole is expected to be 300Fit.

Hammer ridge is the type of machine recommended for drilling the borehole here because of the soil structure.

Blinding of the gate house commenced immediately too...

The soil here is a hard one and has stones in them. This reminds me of our project in Ile life few years ago. We experienced a similar soil structure.

Remember we are doing all the structures simultaneously. The setting out of the main Duplex is also ongoing ahd the digging as well.

We are hitting the ground running will full speed.

Gate house block works..

We have started the chaining of the foundation of the gate house.

How do you prevent these cements from hardening?
2 of my own just got hardened after 2months being stored in a well protected container with no drop of water or moisture

Good day sir.

Well to be fair, it's almost impossible to store such volume without getting one or two hardened after a long period of no usage.

However, in my case what I do is, I try as much as possible to use them fast. Because even if there Is no water penetrating there or something, the cement in itself might generate some level of heat energy which is what most likely happens especially when packed at such a close proximity to themselves.

This must be what happened in my case
Thanks for the feedback.
