plasgidy: Our land in Okuku is selling, but I guess a lot of people are waiting for the last minute rush, just like the BVN at the dying minute. We should hasten up and acquire this land before other people price us out of the land. https://www.nairaland.com/2555459/buy-lands-royal-palms-estates 1 Like |

Mr spyder, on Nov 5 I asked why you have decided to use 9" blocks all through as opposed to some who use it for outer wall & 6" for partitions. I'm only curious as to whether there's any advantage with regards to your decision as per using 9" blocks. Can you please satisfy my curiosity. |
Re: The Making Of A Low Budget 5 Bedroom Duplex (with Costs) by spyder880(m): 11:25pm On Nov 07, 2015 |
omooba969: Oh, sorry for not attending to that question then. The choice of blocks to use is backed by so many factors, most people prefer to use blocks with less width to reduce their expenses on concrete and even reduce their cost of blocks since 6" blocks are less costly that their 9" counterparts. Reduction of building costs is usually the main reason for this. Other reasons include the need for more room, as slimmer blocks can add some millimeters to your room sizes, other reasons might include weight reduction. There are so many situations where we need to be very careful on the block type we use. There are places in a building where the width of your columns matter so much. Those corners of the house the columns bear a substantial load and thus needs to be more sturdy. I am going to build this house with 9" blocks on the ground floor, but when I get to the upper floors, I will most likely do the inner room partitions with 6" blocks. I will also sound a note of warning here, please ensure that a qualified professional looks at your building plan, the land and then the methods you might want to use before he will advice on the type of blocks to use. Things like the block type to use are usually spelt out in the structural drawings of a house plan. Thank you. 2 Likes 1 Share |

spyder880: Indeed the patient dog eats the fattest bone cos your explanation is rich in technicality. 'much appreciated. Sorry to bother you sir, 1 question about foundation, is it more advantageous to allow for natural soil compaction with the help of rain considering that time is of essence as opposed to how it's done with the machine or what's your take on this? Thank you. |
Re: The Making Of A Low Budget 5 Bedroom Duplex (with Costs) by spyder880(m): 6:47am On Nov 08, 2015 |
omooba969: If you have time, you could wait it out, like 6 months of rain, and still you will need to compact the earth. But it might be faster to pond the foundation; pour enough water into the foundation space to sink the soil, then compact. I will do this next week. 1 Like |

I did not get the whole data about the number of blocks laid inside this foundation, and other details, but I have paid another N63,000 as money to cover the whole block works inside the foundation, labor and even the feeding money for my supervisor (N10,000) who has been with the boys down there. Today, they are moving back to the site to continue work, carpentry works will be done to board the foundation while concrete will be used to cast the columns. Then the filling of this foundation with soil will start tomorrow. Cost update N73,000 + N1,672,956.00 = N1,745956.00 3 Likes |
