I knew of someone with similar experience too and noticed thesame goes to everyone in that environment, only those that did German floor and DPc were safe... recently spoke with someone on the issue and was told that if only they had done those things stated, they wont be going through such and the cracks keeps coming from different places, like close to door frames, wall demarcation areas etc...the cracks are always increasing during dry season too, someone suggested we break those crack regions and fill with small 8" rods or bottles then dress with good quantity of cement..

What is difference between DPC and German floor

Thanks will pass the info to my friend

erico2k2, could you please reach your friend and press upon your friend to pay for work already successfully executed. Report reaching me indicates a complete lack of empathy, appreciation and difficulty from your friend.

Please contact your friend to settle the bill. The guy is really frustrated and this is not good. All accommodation towards your friend was done because of me and is a matter regret that I'm now a party to frustrating those that work for me.

Please as a matter of urgency, step in to resolve this.

Well let me start it by stating the facts
1 My friend transferred N26k plus to Sunday's account vis AZIMO which Sunday confirmed
2 Sunday called my friend back to say the money was reversed back to my friend's account and whish the money paid back of which he sent screenshots cool
3 I informed my friend who I told to have a look and fish out the mistake
4 My friend looked at her bank account and told me that no money of such was returned to her btw (I and you know how AZIMO works)
5 Sunday still insisted teh money was paid back to my friend's account
6 My friend called AZIMO with the transaction code to find out what was going o n
7 AZIMO confirmed that the money was paid and Emailed Sunday's bank to confirm payment of transaction via their 3rd party partners in Nigeria which they AZIMO inturn 2warded the emails to my friend of which she in turn 4warded to Sunday, at this point, it was clear that the fault was from Nigeria, Sunday should go to his bank to sort it out armed with the two Emails my friend sent to him
8 I suggested that Sunday should go back to his bank and request them to give him details of transaction of the money returned and to which bank or account cos btw me and you you know if you wire money via 3rd party ie western Union or AZIMO no way the money can return to ur bank,
These my friend is where we stand at the matter! Sunday have both copies of Emails and if you want I can 4ward it to you as well!

Inform the client about it. He would have settled them before so he should know
them and know those to report to.

[b]At CharisDESIGNS, we solve challenges with our clients every day to design buildings that positively impact the environment and promote human health and quality of life.

Today we have a new challenge.

As the coronavirus COVID-19 has grown to pandemic level—impacting our daily lives at work and home—we want to share what CharisDESIGNS is doing to support the safety and well-being of the communities in which we live, work, and serve.

CharisDESIGNS is closely monitoring the COVID-19 public health emergency and we’re following all recommendations from the Nigeria Centers for Disease Control (NCDC), World Health Organization (WHO), and local officials. ( We implore everyone of this big family to do same too) In many cases, this involves our employees avoiding mass transit, minimizing or eliminating site visits, and conducting their business remotely.

It’s paramount to us that you continue to receive the same level of support you are accustomed to, and we’re confident that with the measures we’ve put in place, we can mitigate this risk together without business disruption.

We are well prepared and have significant experience in successfully serving clients remotely. Our Information Technology and Digital Practice teams have employed proactive measures to ensure that our workforce can work from anywhere and many of our services—and meetings—can be performed virtually. We are also addressing in-person meetings and site visits on a case-by-case basis.

If there is a need to adjust our operations in any capacity or make changes that could impact our work, we will communicate that information to you immediately. If you have any concerns about the ability to complete project work, please contact us Asap

We are optimistic that by working together with you, we can preserve your safety and ours, and help curtail the spread of coronavirus.

Sincerely,

Mark[/b]

Hello Guys, need your opinion please.
I'm currently working on a project, which is 2-bedroom flat into 8 , and one bedroom apartment (room, kitchen, bathroom, dining, parlor) into 4. The plan is, it will be shared into four buildings on the 200*100 piece of land. Each building will contain 2-bedroom apartment into 2 and 1-bedroom apartment ,one.
Attached to this comment, is the bill I wrote down, which my engineer gave me to take the property to DPC level. He calculated it two buildings at a time. So each of those values are for two buildings, details of each building already stated above. And below, is his workmanship, terms as stated.
Thank you!

Do you understand that the OP is building 8units of 2 bedrooms flats and 4units of mini flats.

The block from foundation to DPC will be something about 7000-7500 now multiple this by N50 or N60 then check the result with what the OP posted.

More so the digging will depends on the nature of the soil.

Then about the engr charges 300k per building from foundation to roof level per 1 unit of the building which comprises of 2units of 2bedrooms and 1 unit of mini flats, now how do you check this to arrived, Burning of the paper to look for another legit someone.

Lastly I doubt if that cement will finished the work. But something around 130-150 should finished the work

Thank you for your input. But, the calculation is for 4 units of 2-bedroom flat and 2 units of mini flat. (Separated into two buildings, each building having two units of 2-bedroom flat and one unit of mini flat). So, the total for the property will be each of those values, multiplied by 2.
And the engineer charges, do you think it's okay?

My brother for you to get likely accurate cost is to post your drawing if available or the full quotation your said engr gave you so that building professionals or people with experience in building can give you likely cost

Sorry, I don't understand
Do lot of reading in NairaLand
Start by learning about building a house
If you learn you can save yourself over 1 million
If you don't understand , so they are going to kill you
Total numbers of block needed to complete the house
Two flat of three rooms is about 5000 blocks or less
Cost of setting one block in Lagos is N50 to N60
Place like Benin is 100 blocks per bricklayer and a service from N5000 to N6000

12 Ways distribution board have different type. we have :
ABB
Schneider
ABT
Harvel.

Why 12ways 3phace DB

For a 4bedroom below is major things to be considered
AC 6(four rooms, sitting and dining =6-circuits)
water heater( 4bathrooms and kitchen = 5-circuit)
Cooker 1-circuit
15A socket in kitchen 1-circuit
Light 4-circuit
Socket 3-circuit

Total number of circuit 20-circuits

so 8ways 3phase is okay for your 4 bedroom flat
