You guys are patient oh.. he supplied you with low quality and he will still do the same to other people. Nigerians are just wicked. The person who did this to you will surely be killed by ogun someday. Chai. Why are we like this. Almost fell for same shit but my mind just kept pulling me back. I went to company myself and they showed me all the coils.. guys visit company yourself for your roofing sheets. Our people are just wicked... I dont trust Nigerians at all. It's so unfortunate. Unfortunate human beings.

Good afternoon all,

We have an undeveloped property in Mangoro, When the rains got very heavy coupled with the opened dam, water entered into our neighbors house from the Foundation, All the tiles opened up. Affected 2 rooms and the parlor.

What could be the issue and any insight to how to get ti resolved.

We are thinking of continuing our own property cos we are in the foundation stage, Kindly advise on what to do so that we dont have that kind of issue in our own house when we done.

Thanks in advance

Is the house just a ground floor structure or storey building?


If water got into the house via the foundation(sub-structure) then it means that the building is sitting on a place where underground water runs and the release of the water from the dam just raised the water level. But all the same, the buildings' foundation is on the low side.

Another thing......when you say all the tiles opened up. That is just an indication of low quality work. There's no sufficient cement when they screed the floor before placing the tiles.




When you intend building your house ensure that your foundation is quite high. And if there is any water on the surrounding environment ensure the height of your foundation is by 3 blocks.

Thanks for this.

Any idea how we can resolve the issue? Although her foundation is pretty high though, about 3 blocks above ground as you suggested that was why we were surprised water could get thru the foundation. Could it mean the foundation was not well sand filled and rammed??

Would including a nylon in the German floor stop this kind of stuff from happening in a new building??

Thanks again

If I may ask....
What is the level of water outside the building in the compound?

temi4fash:


About some few meters high but not high enough to enter in the house.

The building is a ground floor structure. 4 room bungalow.

bixton:



The cause of that is level of groundwater beneath the house. The flood water has increased the level of the water probably in an unanticipated way, that's why; meaning the DPC level is on the low side.
Possible solution(s) is to do a rich concrete mix of desired thickness with a mixture of water sealant cement(used by tilers) to be place on a DPM. There are various types and sizes(the water sealant) but you should buy that one which the pack is big and not the sachet size. It's quite expensive.



The other one is to de-roof the house and increase the height of the DPC and make all corrections upwards before re-installing the roof members.

Good luck.

The only cost saving is the cost of transportation and profit (of block moulding industries). The cost saving will be reasonable because of the large quantity.

It is advisable to mould to ensure quality and considering the fact that you need a large quantity.


The basic materials you will need are cement, sand/quarry/stone dust and water. The moulding machine inclusive.

I need to put pen on paper to determine the exact quantities.

Also, will you use sand or stone dust? Where is your location? What type of machine will you use to mold, do you own or will hire the machine, will the labourers/operators be engaged newly or are part of the/your company etc.

These info are needed for a detail analysis.

Olazzeedris:


**Primarily why molding block ;1 For us to have good qualities 2. To avoid delay 3. Maybe to save little cost etc.

Now Firstly; Is good you mold it on site to get good quality ,because if you're to buy of standard it would cost you more infact you may not see it at the range of 200 or 220 .Though region determines.

2nd on materials ; You need like 3.1tonne to 3bags of cement for 100blcks.
35 per bag
Cost you 19,000 to 20,000

Then if you're to buy of the same quality you mold @ rate of 220 to 250 .

Kimsunh:
Pls everyone is 20 tones of sand not too much for ordinary parapet of a building on a half plot of land? Thanks

saydfact:


Its safer to buy 20tonnes and have some left on site, than buy less and need more..

Its not too small (you just wont finish it)

Kimsunh:
ok thank you sir. I’m just thinking out loud. Buhari regime don turn everybody to economist lol. Gracias �

megacontrol:
Please can you clarify and explain the bolded part again?

you wrote that i need 3.1 tonne to 3 bags of cement for 100 blocks.... is this 3.1 tonne of sand or stone dust or both?
35 per bag is okay and clear, just need to clarify the other points.
