lastpage: This is a GOOD idea to save cost ONLY if. Mr A,B,C sites are close to each other if not -Cost of logistic. -Cost or removing it. -Time wasted ; the time Mr A will take to Setup the wood ( formwork) this will take like 2weeks plus the time the plank will stayed for the concrete to dry 28days Total 1month 2 weeks for only Mr A, same to Mr B to mr C this will take much time and the wood will weak before it will reach Mr C. Only if the last person will use it as lintel work or others non heavy work like decking -Mishandling;Diff carpenters to handle the installation and removal this will also reduced the number of the woods like 5/10pec off. Size of the slab: users size of the slab will also contribute to the loose of some plank bcs some plank length will be cut to fit some area in Mr A site which will a shortage length in Mr B site. At the end some of completing Mr B site some plank will be wasted 4 Likes |

Dear All, Please I need honest advice from professionals I want to do steel from foundation to lintel for my three bedroom and 1mini flat building,so someone advised me to buy a ton of 12mm steel in order to save cost and moreover since I'll still do soak away and the stand for storex. Lo and behold the guy that want to do the steel work said a ton of 12mm would be too much for the project. Please what is your advice and which of the steel is better, Local or Cbc I'll appreciate your urgent response,please Thank you |

Aventures: I was a bit worried when I saw the washed upper side, but after it dried and more rain and wind washed the sand off it came out fine....the picture below was how it looks after 8 days the concrete was set.

davodyguy: On a dimension of 7.6m by 19m, my client spend 600k on wood. So, dont call it outrageous bill. Have you considered the cons of using a used wood? If you will be renting, is advisable you rent not an overused wood to avoid deflection of your decking. 1 Like |

Abolarin91: Alot has been said about this "block making topic" you can search on NL. My opinion is that, like everything else in building, it's all about PREFERENCE (choice) and BUDGET /COST Some do 25, 28, 30, 35 etc... Personally, I would do between 28-30 for a 9" block. 1 Like |

Adequate459: Its most likely too much ma.. But I cant tell you for sure if it is or not because we dont know how many columns you have, if you will be doing a concrete fascia etc... I once did a 4-bedroom where the previous Engineer used about 22 columns for a house that didn't have concrete fascia. |

Person2person: I discovered recently that blocks being used on my site is 5inc, instead of 6inch. The building is at 4 course dpc level, with starter column. Can I continue from dpc with 6in block? Will there be any effect? |

30tons Granite is 200k Island, V.I, Ikoyi, Lekki 30tons Granite to Mainland is N180-190k as at today delivery. Wood is high, Iron rod the most unrealistic or stable price. Vibrated block with stonedust will be high too, Marine board is 8,600 today, the only item that is constant now is Cement @2,580. White wood for concrete 1x12x12 board(sawmill) is sold @N1300today transportation to site excluded. |

Walted0n: I assume you have not done your oversite concrete (DPC)yet..... ensure your columns are not too far apart (you may need to introduce column to support the 5inch block) ensure your columns is 6inch as you can still correct that now do your oversite concrete (DPC) (very important) with proper mix you can continue your work with 6inch block Good Luck 1 Like |

Person2person: Thank you very much. I've not done the oversite concrete yet, I was thinking of flooring it later. The builder said there's no problem with 5in, but I don't feel comfortable. |

Walted0n: Sorry but why don’t you feel comfortable with your builder (a professional) haaa, unless may be he is not what you called him. |
