yak: First, the rains does not disturb everything, it can only slow down work a bit. You can do the foundation, even in rainy season, especially if your land id the dry, red soil type. Moreover, it does not rain everyday! It is also cheaper to build in the rainy season, you get lower cost of labour and Materials for the simply reason that most people avoid to build in that season, which implies cheaper Labour and Material cost. Dont also forget that prices are always going Up and Up in Nigeria, l pray inflation does not do "half-price" for you by then. All the same, you have the final decision. Just compare the cost NOW, and then in the Dry season and you will see what l mean @Egunmogaji: I site your comment in the same direction. 1 Like |

mufutau55:. 8mm-10mm is an approximate of about 0.31-0.39 inches. Please can you clarify how you intend doing a supervision for such and what kind of POP artisan produces a POP board below the standard? What I know concerning POP when it comes to dimensions/thickness is CORNICE and it comes in 4-6 inches thickness. Artisans will generally give you a 4inch cornice and it all depends on the design you want your POP board to be. 1 Like |

myvic70:. Get your plan and do a rough estimate of total number of blocks to erect the structure, have an idea of how much it costs to lay a block or how many many blocks to lay a day based on daily pay rates and do your maths. Since you don't intend to do german floor immediately i'll advice you do chaining with R12(most preferred) or R10 done at the height of your DPC before you continue with block work. Chaining is usually done at all areas the blocks will run but if you're looking at cash constraint kindly run your chaining at all external walls and major walls cutting across the building. 1 Like |

Okay team, I have decided to do parapet, if possible but I have a technical challenge. I didn't pay any attention to shared info before because I wasn't considering it. Please share your gotchas, lesson learned, etc with me. My building is practically square and is 50 feet X 80 feet. There is an issue though. The entrance has a tight space of only 4 feet on each side, will a parapet look good in this situation?

Daboomb: Rainy season could be a blessing, or a big horror when building. 1. A foundation already completed in an area with loose sandy soil, it rained at night so, the whole foundation caved in and we only have to repeat the excavation the next day. 2. We completed the water ponding and pouring water inside one foundation in Enugu and the reserved rain for the month came down last Friday, four hours of heavy rain, carried away more than 2 trips of sand we bought and filled up the foundation till its soaking wet. A blessing. 3. If the rains meet you in a clay and sticky soil inside a foundation, during early excavation you will know how slipping and falling feels like. Or if the rain catches you as many bricklayers are laying block walls, na trouble o 2 Likes

EgunMogaji: We have debated the pros and cons of high fencing previously. This Evans case is a clear manifestation that high fencing benefits no one; owner and community. High fencing is a very lethal security risk to all. Imagine all these evils going on behind those walls and the community is non the wiser. Now is the abducted victims, but it could easily be the landlord as well. I will call for the government to legislate for see through fence or low fence like it's done in the developed world. Even Evans has a see through fence. Doesn't that say something. |
