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?

@Sonnie10 @FEGEITOK
The size would actually depend on the occupancy rate, topography and the actual size and design of building. But from a recent work, what was done on a similar building is 10 x 12 feet and 13 couches of 6” blocks.
Number of chambers is determined by the mechanical system design ( position of toilets and bathrooms and sinks )

Note that 2 soakaways were constructed due to the size of the building and the topography.

I am neither an engineer nor a builder. Just sharing personal experience.

Can I have 2units of two-bedroom flats and 2 units of self-contained as semi-detached on an 18mx10m land space.
If you will want the building to be of 2 floors, it is very possible.
The land is too small if the building will be a bungalow.

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.
I saw what your friend did there, he concreted the wall paths, that's more of a ground beam right?

Good day house!


Please I am planning on acquiring new furnitures and I’ve tried considering local made furnitures; they’re good with aesthetics but they don’t tick the functionality aspect.


I am considering IKEA, Lifemate, Vava and I’m leaning towards Lifemate currently.

I haven’t been able to go check out a Vava outlet to see what’s in stock yet.

I need reviews on Lifemate please from anyone who’s used their products; general review and wether they can stand the test of time.

Any other good recommendation is welcomed.

Thanks for your input.

Good evening sirs/ma, want to bring an update from the cable manufacturers to everyone.

Coleman and Nigerchin have finally increased their prices just within a month. Seriously the price of cables keep on increasing almost every month now. God will help us

Their reasons for price increase are :

Cost of gas
Cost of diesel
Labour cost
Cost of raw materials
Import duty
Bank interest rate.
Logistics
Etc ..

Workmanship is 500k? Just for wood work or both wood work and the sheets installation? Not even a high roofing...

Will you be in the site with them while they are working? Are you buying the materials yourself or he is the one buying them? That quotation is outrageous for that roof sqm..

Where is your site located at? If in Lagos, contact Money121
