Thanks God bless you

Do you have a picture of the same gravel?

What is the size of the building that you want to work on?

Slimszy:


Greetings Sir, thank you for your input.

I just checked today and the height of the surrounding floor is higher than the DPC. I noticed quality of the DPC material was light too.

Ps: I bought the house and I didn't build from scratch. I only did the finishing

Was a PROPER German floor done? I hope you understand what a "German floor" is. From the photos you uploaded, what is the topography of the area? The photos look like you have a permamoist soil. With such topography, a PROPER German floor is crucial. It may be that your DPC has failed spectacularly leading to rising damp. The solution is to arrest the rising damp. Solution proffered so far by some knowledgeable forum members will come to waste if the solution does not include arresting the rising damp. You may protect the walls for all you care, but water will always find its level.

There are ways to arrest a rising damp but I'm not sure if the needed materials are widely available in Nigeria. For me, I will get a DPC Cream and inject into the wall. See the attached photos.

To apply a DPC Cream, dig down to blinding level of your foundation. Why? I will come to this later.

Take a level above ground level and drill hole at intervals INTO THE MORTAR of the blocks around the external perimeter of the external walls (see photo). Mind you, the way we lay our blocks, the mortar line will not be straight. Drill on the mortar, not the blocks. This solution will be particularly challenging if hollow blocks were used. This takes me to the next part.

Blow out the durst from the drilled holes and inject generous amount of the DPC Cream into the holes. What will happen, the cream will diffuse to form a DPM (damp proof membrane) stopping the rising damp.

The second part is; you've dug down to the BLINDING LEVEL of your foundation. Now wrap the external perimeter walls with a DPM. Get a carpenter to build a formwork of about 3 or 4 inches thick around the perimeter of the foundation and then pour a rich concrete mix into the formwork JUST BELOW the injected DPC CREAM. The DPC Cream should stop the rising damp and the concrete cast should protect the walls.

Then floor your compound. No interlocking for you. I've seen this done in Eastern Europe. Highly effective where the German floor fails with age or not done properly.

Thank you for your input.

Yes, the picture attached is an interior wall. The exterior is covered with tyrolene.

Actually I bought the building as carcass and did the finishing. At the point of buying, I didn't notice any form of dampness maybe because it was during the dry season, earlier this year.

Good evening my people, please I have this gate for sale. I was just going to respray it but friends suggested the gate doesn’t be fit the structure hence I have purchased another and reason for sale.

Size is about 14 by 8 in wideness and height and location is Ikotun environs.

Also I would like to have an idea of how much at the least I can get for this because it was purchased with the property hence I don’t have an idea of the possible cost range .

Ps the new gate set me back 750k so I am looking to reasonably recover some of the expense

Thank you

Is it a slidding gate?

michlins:
this one will cost me about 200-250 to make. So you should expect like 100-150

Let's start with you sir, it's your thing and you can do it how you want

Twostep:
Ok, I will take 300k for it.

redgem:


Michlins gave the cost estimate to create the kind of your gate....you should use it as a guide to fix your price.

abdulwastecx:


All these are excellent points coming from years of Engineering and construction experience.

1. I would say, surely that QS should do the take-off and allow the contractors to put the rate. A mechanism can be put in place to verify that the items are delivered based on the specifications. For example, Concrete grade can be verified by cube tests, block strengths, steel strength,
etc can be very by material testing.

2. I think there is no way to solve this problem of contractor greed. Also, I've observed that people-trained engineers are more aware of the actions of cutting corners and not really building according to building codes. I'm not saying this because I'm an engineer or biased towards the civil/structural engineering profession. Also, I'll advise that when you can't hire a civil/structural engineer to build your structural frames/Carcass for any building over a bungalow you should hire them as a consultant.

3. Quality control is one of the most important parts of construction. For example, the difference between M15 and M25 can be a lack of monitoring and poor quality control. too much water in like half a bucket can weaken concrete by more than 50%. A lack of vibration may render it very weak that which will allow the rebar to corrode etc. I would put that durability is as important as the strength of the concrete. Quality control requires that you have an expert on-site to make sure that materials meet specifications and that construction is done based on guidelines.

Aventures:
In addition, in a process whereby clients wants to choose his sub contractors for stuff like POP, Electrical, Tiling, Smart home fittings, Aluminum should not be a problem to any contractor at all. But I will advice a synergy from planning stage. That is the client should choose his preferred sub contractors and carried them along from the beginning, review the plans together along with the designers and main contractors, draw out approved specifications for each trade and note all the sub contractors should be supervised by the main contractors at a reasonable fee. The reason behind this is to avoid blame shift, hinderances for effective execution of any aspect of sub contractors work, for example if you bring in a low voltage/smarthome contractor at a later time, executing his work may be difficult or in process he may damage some imbeeded conduits in the process of breaking wall. If such has been introduce from onset he would be invited for his input time to time to facilitate easy and perfect installation.

Main contractors should be the eye of client in this regards because the overall Glory still comes to him when the house is well and tastefully delivered.
