temi4fash: 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. |

bixton: 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 |

cheras: Size of your design suck away will determine the cost. More so pop design cost range from 4000-5000 per meter. This cover materials and labour cost. We can handle all your requests for you.

bixton: About some few meters high but not high enough to enter in the house. The building is a ground floor structure. 4 room bungalow. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by bixton(m): 6:29pm On Nov 12, 2019 |
temi4fash: 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. This second option is what I did at a client's residence when we had the 2012 flooding in Bayelsa/Yenagoa. It was a 5 bedroom bungalow, 3 units- one bedroom apartments and 2 units self contain, all in the same plot. Also had to increase the height of the compound since generally it was on the low side. Good luck. |

Thanks for the detailed response. Yes I am still keen on molding the blocks on site, below are some of the extra info you requested; - We will use both sand and stone dust mixture - We are looking to hire the molding machine and labor required - I don't know the different type of machine, i just know of vibrated block making machine Leads me to next set of questions... What are the rates to hire molding machine and what is rate for labor per block? What is the desirable sharp sand & stone dust mix ratio? I understand the 30-40 blocks per bag of cement part, but how many cement needed for 1 trip of sand (just as example)? If i have these info, then i can do the numbers and work out my material list and cost to achieve the total quantity i need. Thanks boay: |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by megacontrol(m): 10:53am On Nov 13, 2019 |
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. Olazzeedris: |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Kimsunh: 11:10am On Nov 13, 2019 |
Pls everyone is 20 tones of sand not too much for ordinary parapet of a building on a half plot of land? Thanks |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by saydfact(m): 11:14am On Nov 13, 2019 |
Kimsunh: 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) |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Kimsunh: 11:17am On Nov 13, 2019 |
saydfact:ok thank you sir. I’m just thinking out loud. Buhari regime don turn everybody to economist lol. Gracias � |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by saydfact(m): 11:57am On Nov 13, 2019 |
Kimsunh: I tell you, we all are economist..... Its however better and cheaper to buy more eg 30 tonnes granite than buying twice 15 tonnes + 15 tonnes..... goodluck |
