Good morning everyone. A friend of mine just started this project on a slopy land. The back of the building has a foundation of 6 coaches
Double walls were used in all the sections at the back before it was filled with laterite( this cant be seen in pictures). DPC of 6 inches was also done.
Is this foundation solid enough? The land is not water logged and he’s planning to build a bungalow.

Seems your friend didn't bother to excavate for the foundation because the 6th course is clearly visible.

He did a strip foundation and that requires him to have 3-4 courses below ground level.

Please advise him, the best action he can take next is to embark on sand filling around the sloppy terrain to a reasonable height before the rain starts.

Also to allow the foundation backfill compact naturally before taking up the super structure.

No comments on the brick setting workmanship

Well he said I should not worry about materials or anything since it's a contract work, his job is to deliver the soakaway and I will pay for piping (I know I will pay for piping cos that's the work of a plumber) and also for chambers (this, I want to be sure that it's should come with the soakaway)... I am currently not around to supervise the work)...

The truth of the matter is that, if u have paid him in full before this discussion, forget about it. But if u have not paid, then there lots of assistance u can get on this thread. If u have not paid him fully or the work is about to commence, pls tell him to send u a quote listing all the materials to be used nd indicate his own workmanship in the quotation. Also tell the house the kind of vehicle u intend packing on the sock away. He should also indicate the dimensions of the sock away.
The chamber should be free of cost because the contractor is still going to use ur materials for the chamber

Yea let’s tag it “ premium”

Excluding the design(although the design is free for the cleint based on the fact that my company constructed the building , so the designs stand as sign of appreciation)

Breakdown of materials and Labour cost
German shower N150,000


Water closest N170,000
Constructed vanity basin with the giant mirror N160,000
Water heater N40,000
Cost of tiles 110,000
Door N120,000
Plumbing piping 55,000
Labour(tiling,plumbing work etc) 60,000
N865,000

Total plus Labour then was around $1150

Yes I got you right, am just saying.

Italian tiles
European wc, vanity basin etc
High quality China jacuzzi (European standard)

The price difference is huge, Original imported materials is usually costly hence the price, i would have loved to see them side by side
300k bathroom vs 2m bathroom

You mean Virony is more expensive than time and goodwill? I bought Virony from a distributor at N3000 psm recently. I think Time and Goodwill are slightly more expensive. I may be wrong though. But which of the 3 of them has the best quality, Virony, Time or Goodwill?

The Virony you got at 3k/sqm was it 60x60 or 40x40

Good evening guys. Regarding soakaway, I want something that would withstand the test of time. Carrying a 5 bedroom apartment.

Please what dimensions will be suitable and how many chambers?

1tank to serve 2 flats, each section(2flats) will pump water independently.
It’s only one bore hole that supplied the 5 tanks.

We did same here in year 2021, 8flats
What’s the size of the land ? Can this structure go into a 50/100 plot ?

They told me Royal is better than Time.

First time I bought Time.

Second time around I got Royal.

Here's what I noticed.

Time is slightly larger than Royal.

In both cases I got 60 x 60.

If you wanna notice do a side by side placement

You right but some of these guys don't want to learn or work... I have had more than 5 apprentice this year alone that won't Stay to learn.. they prefer to go yahoo way.. they want quick money. Want to driver Benz in no time..

Some of them don't want to start small


My mechanic complained of this exact problem too. They will rather ride okada which gives the delusion of self employment and instant earnings rather than go through the tedious process of working under someone and learning

Your land size of 100*50 will be too small for this design
