Chekitaut: I meant those waste containing large rocks, small rocks and sand they use in road construction. They normally set them aside at quarries as waste. Look at the pictures below.

Hello all, Please I want to build a 2-bedroom apartment of say 9.800m x 5.4m in Ibadan. I already have a 4-bedroom bungalow built but I want to deck it and build a 2-bedroom bungalow. Please can you advice me on how much a plan may cost? Thank you |

Chekitaut: Maybe. You should never accept ALL deals that you run across. Unless it meets y overall corporate goal then it's definitely not worth it to me. 1 Like |

kopell: @Kopell. To buttress your point, I don't think there is anything called medium yield BoreHole either. I called in an independent geologist(before drilling) to do an investigation on my site(on a rocky hill) a few weeks ago. I attached his geological report. His findings indicated a low yield and high yield. To get low yield waterflow at my site, the borehole has to dug to a depth of 97 meters(300 feet!) and a high yield water flow meant that the borehole must be at a depth of 184.86m (600 feet!!). The geologist made it clear to me that if I go for the low yield, that I will encounter a high iron content in the water(from the borehole at 300 feet) and it will most likely dry up in the Dry season. My driller(because I had complained about cost) pushed me to go for the low yield(97 meters depth)borehole. I just decided not to drill anymore because I didn't want to get disappointed at 97 meters and I cannot afford to dig a borehole to a depth of 184 meters(600 feet). Furthermore, another independent hydro-geologist told me that the iron content in the water may discolour the water or lead to proliferation of bacteria since bacteria thrive on iron. This may necessitate the addition of a water treatment equipment to be installed at my site(More expenses for me). My take on all this is that digging a borehole is not always feasible in every location. 2 Likes

@ibiboss, this quote looks fair to me oo, am not an engineer but currently building, based on what I know so far it looks ok, I think he will ask for more money for raft materials |

seunpinky:Its all depends on your design, as far its meet the building code. Our professional experience Archited in the house can give U design that will feet in your land size. My advice to U, do your diligent very well before U commit anyone to your dream. I just red a sad touching story about one roofing vendor or contractor, that says he doesn't give a crab about his clients concern. Because he only as 5 % clients online. In my opinion, it's very disappointing for a contractor that came here online himself to expose how people are bing ripped off. So sad, himself end up ripping people off. Which way Naija? 2 Likes |

ibiboss: Ofcourse, there are places your Contractor will "chop" you properly, INBUILT in that Quotation. On the average, about 1/3 of the Quoted amount goes into the pocket of the builder (nice builder!, the really bad ones are looking at nothing less than 45%!) I wont even go into too much details on that (for example, Sharp Sand of 20T in quoted 52K in some places and 55K in other places! Wood at a certain price, without specifying the type of Wood, Cement too, e.t.c all come at different prices) but the assured that if you dont make yourself available and around to SUPERVISE (your eyes and ears, or that of a trusted person, if you can find anyone like that ) your project, expect nothing less than a 20-25% rip-off on cost. The over-all quality may also drop by as much as 25%! Consider a case where the builder, after quoting for concrete mix of 3:2:1 and you pay for it, he then throws 'Sandcrete' Broken Blocks into the Concrete and they are pouring it, to fill-up the volume! That will reduce the volume of concrete he will use, make his work easier (less effort, as Blocks are lighter to carry) but will be a disaster for the 'Concrete Strength' of your Columns are Beams. These are the type of actions that cause eventual building collapse. I am sure if the owner was available and on-site, he/she wont allow that kind of mischief. 95% of Clients that have been ripped-off, whose cases are brought here, are people who for one reason or another, could not or refused to make themselves available to monitor things, as their building are being erected. Schedule your time, build only when you are available so you can monitor what is being done. Read some threads here on Property section and learn the ropes, it will help you in making certain decisions. But am sure Contractors ans builders wont find this funny at all. My 10cent. 1 Like |

ibiboss: Oga I don't know about all the people advising you without even seeing the Plan of the house. I'm not advanced to that level. If you want a more informed decision, you have to post your plan. All you will get like these is people telling you he's going to dupe you. It's the cliché around here. 2 Likes |

I have a thing or two to say about bore-holes in general. It's totally unrelated to the Oga FastShipping issue on ground. If my Ogas say I should continue, then I will. |

D land is a complete 60 by 120 full plot located in ikorodu. cc: spyder880, segzy14, Alist, haji mufutau[/quote]yes its possible. Then have two stairs halls taking you to the two bedrooms upstairs with one of the two bedroom flat having one of the stair hall privately. The other two sharing the other stair hall. Thinking u can still have five self contains room and parlour (one bedroom flat ) down instead of the four to balance the three two bedroom up.the three twobedrooms sounding bigger than the four self contains room and parlour (one bedroomflat) again until I work out a design all these are just thoughts. Hope this helps. |
