the Size i quoted is the total size of the soakaway.

based on your usage, you can liaise with the bricklayer to divide it for you.

Thank you so much boay..

The slab will be sitting on beams and columns not blocks.

Thanks alot.

You're welcome

To all concerned,
I have now added OND in civil engineering to my list of Academic qualifications , after completing a 3year PT course IN laspotech.
I now have an OND in Civil engineering , HND in Quantity surveying and PGD in construction management.

thank you.

Congratulations. More wins

Yes 2 bedrooms per flat * 4 flats
Land is 600sqm and it is a dry land

OK, 35m should complete it. But to be sure let's take a look at the drawings

Muyi002:

when was that. No skillful bricklayer will collect 40 from u. At least 50/ block

the slope of your land will determine where you will put it to make it flow properly

If you need stainless railings for your building .. interior and exterior . Call on me..

Good evening folks,

On a dry land, can someone please tell me how much it will cost to get the attached to foundation level?

Thanks

Good morning
Engineers in the house

I am doing a slab to cover my soakway....12ft by 10ft. Please can i get a quote of how many16mm rod i would require so as to be able to carry the weight of a car.

Please help guys.

Sorry for the late response, make sure you have a cross beam reinforced with 16mm not on the walls, so it must have columns then the slab should be 12mm /5inches interval spacing. e.g of what I mean:

I am in similar position and need experts advice
Is it proper to terminate the columns at the chained lintel level or it is compulsory to do a roof beam to terminate the columns? because my builder is suggesting we can terminate it at lintel level and leave roof beam to save cost.

There are several reasons for doing a roof beam but given cost cutting .............

Option 1....
Do chain lintel on external walls and on any major wall cutting the building if there is.
You can do short lintel on internal walls.


Option 2.....
Do chain lintel on all internal and external walls of the building.

N/B: Due to clips used in holding the wall plate onto the wall, please kindly inform your engineer/builder, carpenter to liaise with the iron bender to cut quarter rods(it has different thickness) of appropriate length to be fastened unto the lintel before you pour your concrete. Ensure the length cut is sufficient depending on number of blocks you intend putting after the lintel works.

Thanks for ur reply
So much appreciate
But what about the pillars like someone who quoted me stated. Can i terminate them at chain lintel level or the can be taken to roof level without the roof beam?

leave the pillar till roof beam . you can do short lintel and do roof beam. It is the roof beam that will transfer the load of the roof to the foundation.

Dennis3D:


I need response to this...

*Material is how much per square meter*?

*Labour is how much per square meter for POP work only. Average Design.*

materials is 3000 upward depending on your design while labour is 700 upward per square meter depending on your design

Thanks sir

In case you do not know, port operations and development are shifting from Apapa to Ibeju Lekki because a Chinese bank just granted Lekki Ports the sum of $620M to develop the lekki deep sea port. That's why you need to invest your N1.5M in buying just a plot of land at Ibeju Lekki. By nest year, the plot of land will appreciate by 100%. Click on the second link on my signature for details.

Dry land

tevanso:
what is your reason for chaining internal walls

**Because of over zealous engineers/builders/artisans once there's a crack on the wall they will attribute it to the impartial chaining of lintel.

** It reduces clients fear in circumstances when there is need to modify the structure(breaking of walls or recreating something else).

** The chaining of internal walls acts like an opposing force that balances that on the external walls when all are properly linked.

There's no need to terminate. Just take them to roof level.

Even without a roof beam?

Yes.

Yes.

Thanks so much
But as a professional which would u advice, doing short lintel and roof beam Or doing chain lintel without roof beam?
As i am yet to do it
Sorry for d too much questions

If you have the funds, do complete chain lintel with roof beam.
