n3xt: Oga mi, I knew that o. I was just joking, as you can see my smiley face. We actually used a good mix with only stonedust and granite with enough cement, no any type of sand is used. I trusted Aventures with the supervision and he built the house anyway. And actually, it's my residential building, few cars will be parked there as I still use Raleigh bicycles (not motorcyle) to cruise around with Mr. EgunMogaji whenever I am on ground. Thank you jare, Oga Brabus. Hajji M. 3 Likes |

mufutau55: Hello Sir, Is stone dust better than Sharp sand. Why didn't they use sand for the interlocking?? Can same be applied to molding of blocks too?? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by EgunMogaji2: 7:59am On Sep 09, 2020 |
temi4fash: Stone dust blocks are stronger than sharp sand blocks. So much so that my original idea to only build my estate with stone dust blocks was shelved. The artisans had a tough time running pipes and whatnots in the Welcome Center that I built from stone dust blocks. It’s more expensive too. 2 Likes |

Chekitaut: This is where i question your integrity. 55k sand in ajah/Sangotedo sand field, will be too much for one China truck to carry. You know I'm telling the truth, if you feel is not true, let's put a bet, we go to Berger Ajah with china truck let's buy 15 ton of sand and put inside your china truck. Bring your witnesses. How much are you ready to bet? 50k, 100k? 7 Likes |

temi4fash: Oga the truck i drive, I'm only allow to operate within ajah, Chevron, sangotedo, mostly within Island. You cannot transport sand from ajah to arepo, the cost will be too much. you can find sand within your area, or owode, oworo, ogudu. I'm not here to do supplyer job, they are in association, once they report u, they will force truck owner to take the truck away from you. Checkitout tone means alot, you cannot do my job, i cannot do ur job. If only u know the meaning in this business. 2 Likes |

temi4fash: You can’t compare a block made with stonedust and sharp sand. To give you ideas, go and buy blocks in Abeokuta, you will need concrete cutter to cut them. Let me see if I can share a picture of the blocks I used in one of my projects in Abeokuta. 2 Likes |

Top of the day to the house Great job from most of the contributors on here, especially the pro's sharing expertise for free. I was scrolling through old Nairaland building threads and stumbled on a floor plan that really caught my fancy (attached) I have two questions firstly can it fit into a 50x100 and still leave moderate space for parking etc Secondly what would a bungalow like that cost to erect with average finishing, all ceilings POP.

coldcandy: Even though the density of gravel is higher than sand, when it comes to weight of a volume of each of them, it is highly dependent on moisture content.. Gravel is 2400kg/m³ Sand is 160kg/m³ So for every 1m³, you get 2400kg/m³ x 1m³=2,400kg of gravel 1600kg/m³ x 1m³=1,600kg of sandq This is supposedly the dry weight. When you consider moisture content, sand absorbs more water and by its closer particle packing, it also retains more water. So in general the, moisture content of sand should be close to twice that of ggravel at the same exposure. The moisture content of gravel becomes lower with higher particle size. So stone dust is heavier than ¼inch which is heavier than ½inch which is heavier than ¾inch and so on. Lets assume moisture content of sand at 30%, under the same conditions, moisture content of gravel maybe 15%. So 2400kg of granite is actually 2400+(2400x0.15) =2400+360 =2740kg 1600kg of sand is actually 1600+(1600x0.3) =1600+480 =2080kg At the end, its unlikely that sand will be heavier than gravel except if the granite is of very poor quality. 4 Likes |

True, but not if your tenants come from trusted renting companies like Renting.ng. All of my tenants come from them and they behave well. |
