Daboomb: I agree with you 100% but when u consider u're spending 8m on a building in Ilese - hmmm that been said, we brought the best quality WC for that type, we wld have changed the system inside if the client wanted to spend more.. |

saydfact: Too much cost savings, is not good in the long run. It is always, mostly "penny-wise, pound-foolish". I understand you are trying to manage cash-flow but there are BASIC thing sin building that you should not compromise! At least, get Concrete Pillars in the four corners of the building, (and maybe at some in-between Points. That wont kill you now? I like it that you did a german floor and did not try to save-save on that one too. Breaking walls for Pipes and Wiring (after erecting the building) really annoys me as l feel it weakens the whole structure. If you must do conduit then plan it from the onset 5 Likes 1 Share |

I did a similar project, 10 rooms in total cost like 15m including cost of the land and other paper works. Cost of another 10 rooms foundation is inclusive. Find attached picture. Technically when you investing in such project, you need to confirm the cost of renting a self-contain hostel in that area. I doubt if the student there can pay 80K annually, i had to sell the land i bought there after completing 1st phase of this project. I will rather invest in TBills than building hostel for now. Its all about ROI, i dont think you need to use such expensive windows. Ileshe sch of health is not a high profile school (Sorry to say that but that is the truth). You really saved cost there, i made some mistakes while building mine but learnt my lesson. 6 Likes

Mrkumareze:I think Lintel only serves as a chain for the building when you choose to make it a perimeter beam. My only fear is, the entire length of the wall not having intermediate columns that would not only help give a break to the long wall but also help carry the roof load . I hope it's a stable land so cracks won't appear on the wall soonest 4 Likes |

saydfact:my question is how did you carry those lintel bars up, if it was done manually,2 things must have been involved either the bars are too light or you employed at least 5 strong men to do that/used something else. 3 Likes |

toastedbread: The wall is quite high and from the foundation there is no chaining which works as a binder. therefore Cracking from the foundation can easily escalate to the last block but, if the lintel is allowed to go round the external blocks believe me it wouldn't be easy. And it's abnormal to have 10 coaches of blocks without chaining. 1 Like 1 Share |

haywire07: We 're saying almost the same thing. The structure is a down stair with shorter width so having intermediate columns at the foundation may be eliminated but lintel shouldn't. |

Daboomb: Firstly we didnt do conduit its all surface secondly pillars at the corners for what? - did u see the heavy rocks we dug out of that floor? even gravel sellers were asking me to see to them. lastly putting pillars where we have blocks on the terrace and beam - pls what function wld this serve? i just told you we didnt put any load on those blocks - THE COST SAVING I WAS REFERRING TO IS DROPPING THE UNNECESSARY AND FOCUSING ON THE NECESSARY.. If we didnt have any block on the terrace wld the building fall? NO - we only introduced it to separate the apartments - its has no other function, remove that singular function and its a waste of time and money. thanks for your sincere concern and advice.... maybe u shd check out my post on properties sections - I dont compromise quality 4 Likes |
