If you follow my thread, I'm a standalone - I'm not part of a 'cult' - I've only being here twice or thrice this year (2021) because I was tagged self....

any supervisor that advices you to do a 75mm thick FOUNDATION with 1:4:8 is a QUACK..... the best you can do is fire him...

sorry, but I cant call a shovel a spade....

Temi1:

Greetings to all the engineers and contributors in the house. I've learnt alot in the last couple of days reading different threads in property section cause as I'll be staying the foundation of my 1 bedroom flat bungalow this week.

I need clarification and info on this.
1. What types/size of granite do I use for foundation concrete
2. The supervisor said 70-80mm thickness is enough for the foundation concrete since I'm not decking or build a storey building as against at least 100mm.
3. For the mix, he said: 1:4:6. (Is this mix good enough?)
4. What's the avarage charge for block setting. And which is better between paying perday or based on the number of blocks used.

Please I'll need your input on this.

Abudu2000:
I'm not defending quackery but clients are the ones encouraging it just like the ikoyi collapsed building. You want a cheap contractor because he said a foundation of 3m can be achieved with 1m and now you wonder why the blinding is 3inches, hahaha you are lucky to get a blinding. Just stay 3days without visiting your site i bet you that building will be at roof level.
Contractors are the reason for building collapse. The drawings are correct but the execution is the problem.

I believe you got answers to other questions posed.

For foundation, I’d pay per day and not based on the quantity of blocks used.

I’m sure good masons won’t even agree to paying per blocks with you during foundation stage

Abudu2000:

In as much as I know my opinion will have little or no impact on the final outcome of this design, I must say without mincing words intending homeowners or developers should try as much as possible to engage Architects to render quality Architectural services.
This particular design here has failed in almost every aspect of basic Architectural consideration:
Climatology
Design Economics
Functional flow.

Please ask your designer these questions
1. Why do you need two staircase for this design?
2. Why is non of the functional spaces cross ventilated?
3. Why the shape of the floorplan?

Your entry point seem like a hideout to me. The essence of your anteroom is defeated. I wish I could talk to whoever did this one on one.
Good luck ma.

Hello to the house, earlier on I brought my plan for criticism, lots of input was made by the house. 1st image is my original drawing, second image was produced by N3xt.

Location:Benin city

Construction has begun, unfortunately I wont be able to share the pics for some reasons. It's a 2bedroom & 1bedroom apartment as shown from the drawing.

Materials purchased so far

1.2300pcs of 6" Hollow granite dust blocks @N280

2.1000pcs of 6" Hollow sancrete machine vibrated blocks @N260
(I didn't like what I saw compared to the granite
blocks, so I will use this for fence)

3.60Ton of sharp sand @110,000

4.30Ton Granite @3500per Ton & 70k Tfare

5.40 bags of cement @3700

Bush clearing was just 3k cos a large portion of the land had human and vehicular traffic so the cleared part was used as a mini farm/garden

You people should endeavor to always attach your site plans as well so we can now if design was born out of shape/size of site n also ways to improve on it.
Too tired to look through tonight n hand filled up too, I think brickdevo has pointed things out. That should be a starting point
