Enyinne: Good Afternoon its better u carry out a soil test irrespective of what you think in absence of this, make sure u carry out a structural design and don't assume the element sizes please ..You are left with an option where ur designer might assume d subgrade modulus/S.B.c this implies that u might have over design members which is not cost effective or under design which might look cheaper and lead to a serviceability failure in no time and may look like an easy options.. for the real question u asked an estimated price may be given if we can see ur structural drawing in line with this.. 1 Like |

Enyinne: Why did u edit and remove the plan? Your question was for an estimate.... Not a detailed BOQ. The same parameters the QS would assume could be gotten and your estimate delivered. Let me state also, that there are ratios, and constants used to arrive at estimated quantities of rebar, concrete etc. without having to do the design.( IF IT'S FOR ESTIMATE ONLY) Offcourse, you would need the design to build but you don't need the design to HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW MUCH YOU NEED TO BUILD. We call it PRE-TENDER OR ESTIMATED COST. and it's done b4 the IFC drawings are issued. So, if what you needed was an estimate... It was possible using the architectural design. Goodluck. |

I want to use this medium to advertise the new step on our construction firm (Rotech building concept) By introducing BIOGAS and BIODIGEST system of waste evacuation to you people. Here is the thread I created for the system https://www.nairaland.com/5786342/biogas-bio-toilet-bio-digester-toilet#88309204 We don’t need much introduction here. We are house hold name in nairaland, our past and present clients can testify to this. Let’s go straight to the business. Biogas/ bio-digester waste system. Today we can see that innovation doesn’t not stop on how to make life more easier for ourself by introducing new system that will safe money, time, stress, and many more throughout the world, that is the why India people come up with this human waste( feces) system that is more reliable and more environmental friendly to the people called BIOGAS and BIODIGESTER to eliminate old system(septic/ suck away. Most of you may have come across this system Before here or outside here. BIODIGESTER 2 methods Biodigester is a system whereby four compartment chamber are designed to treat and decomposed humans waste(feces) through anaerobic action which will convert the solid waste to water and methane. HOW DOES THIS WORK The 1st chamber or compartment is where the human waste will 1st entered through the toilet soil pipe outlet, the solid waste will drop at the bottom of the chamber, then the bacterial present in there will act on it and eat the solid waste and decomposed it ( anaerobic action) Immediately the water filled up it will flow into the second chamber through the connection pipe way. In the second chamber the same action will take place again till the End chamber. At this point the water will comes out clean like about 95-98pec clean. 2. Another system is we will construct only one chamber (box) of size 1500*600 then the waste water will flow into this box which then Flow into Little seprate section in the box the process continue from there 1. It will be odorless 2. Colorless. 3. Environmental friendly. At this point you can now channel the water into a small constructed suck away or into the drainage outside Also -the water can be recycle again to use in flushing the toilet system. - the water can be used to water plant. Advantage over old system of evacuating waste is 1- it digest organic solid in an ecological way 2-it save cost of evacuation 3- it’s odorless 4-it also server as alternative of dumping effluents into river and lagoon (Lagos state come to mind here ) 5- it save cost in construction than the old regular system. 6. It takes only little space 7. It also prevent human waste and untreated water from contaminating ground water. This same process is almost the same to BIOGAS but there is a diff in the chamber construction system. More so the gas from the methane can be used As COOKING GAS. We are now partner with a firm to carry out any of this system at friendly cost. Where you can use this system 1 schools 2 commercial building : hotels, mall etc 3. Hospitals 4 , public toilet 5 markets etc COST For a 2bedroom to 4 bedroom flat range btw 200- 250k Duplex range from 200-300k Hotels from 300-350k You can reach us for any questions about this Pics of the past project attached.

bobkezel: The biodigest doesn’t have disadvantage against old system presently But biogas do, bcs if much waste doesn’t available the supply of gas only for cooking and others stuffs will not function. Yes we can convert the old system of waste evacuation to this new one (biodigest only). The life span of both is 70-80yrs for the setup. But in a situation whereby multiple people are using the biodigest system like schools, hospitals, hotels which like 50-60 peoples make uses of the toilet Per day, you need to evacuate the left over sand inside the chamber ones in 4-5yrs. Just to pack the sand out by labour and the sand is also as clean (95pec)as the water that came out from the system duplex can take like 15-25 yrs before you will pack the little sand there. The packing can’t cost you more than 5k Lastly the cost cover both materials and labour More questions are welcome. Let’s safe our environment against diseases like cholera and related ones |

DPC and DPM Many do not understand the difference between these two things in construction. Please they are completely different and should not be used interchangeably. The serve similar purpose in different ways. DPM is Damp Proof Membrane. It is a membrane, like a nylon, polyethene or polyester material laid on the surface of filling in foundation on which hardcore will be placed before casting the over site concrete (that most people call German floor). The purpose is to prevent water from rising from the foundation into the building through capillary action. DPM is Damp Proof Course. It is a "course" it is usually on the block work in foundation before casting the oversite concrete (German floor). Many people dont follow standard practice again so people are getting more and more ignorant about the right things. DPC is a course, about 50mm or 75mm thick on block work in foundation, it can be made of special concrete (with additives), bituminous material etc that are water proof and do not allow water to pass through. You will rarely see this being done in Nigeria today. The purpose is to prevent water from rising from the foundation through the blockwork into the building through capillary action. When you see buildings with wet wall, the major reason is usually lack of DPM or DPC or both. Regardless of the nature of the site (dry or wet), DPM/DPC should be done. Except you are building entirely and directly on rocks. People now use DPM on block work as well, so many don't know DPC. You can go to YouTube and watch videos on the two.

boay: Good of you”waa gbayii” I said same thing some pages back, dpc, and Dpm are diff in practice but they serve same purposes while the so called German floor is “oversite concrete” The only thing I see btw the 2 now is that if you do dpc in some area it likely that the water ingress do occurred again so it’s better to adopt DPM system to stop this water capillary action. 1 Like |
