lastpage: The importance of sub soil investigations especially in Lekki environs cannot be over emphasized. It might seems like an additional cost but it helps you to make good decision on the type of structure to build that will give good return on your investment. We had a project at Ikoyi awhile back . The subsoil was poor from the result of the subsoil test. The client wanted three floors but a raft was not sufficient to support the structural loads so we had to pile. The cost of piling the structure was much so we advise the client to increase the number of floors to four to accommodate the cost of the foundation. He agreed and the structure was redesigned and it was worth it. 5 Likes |

Aforxzy: But some client will still go ahead and build on the land without considering the huge cost. That was the case with the project we carried out in Akoka. The client dropped close to 20 tons of rebar (various sizes) just for the foundation of a 4 bed duplex and 2 bedroom flats. If one carry out physical assessment of this land, one can assume that it’s safe to support even 8 floors but the subsoil investigation report proved otherwise.

jabolo: It’s called “send down the rain.” You’d definitely like it if you see it physically. Roof play an important role in the aesthetic of a building (especially a bungalow) as it represents about 40% of the visual exterior of the building. The higher it is, the better the protection from all weather conditions. 1 Like |

Badgers14:According to him, he said instead of doing normal foundation and still chain it at DPC level, that it will be cheaper to dig only the column base 4feet deep and chaining all the connecting beams with 12mm steel reinforcement and then do DPC afterwards. |

Pascal2016: 1. IF THE ONLY REASON HE GAVE YOU IS COST; THIS IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE CONVENTIONAL (Pad and Strip). 2. If you decide to use this, then the building is better made as a FRAMED STRUCTURE... ie you complete the concrete structure (columns, slab and roofing) then come back to block-works and lintels.

freezyprinzy: Do you have your floor plan? Ans do you know the height of the king post? That is, height of the roof? If yes, I should be able to calculate the area for you. Secondly, you said its aluminium 0.55? Are you using Tower? If its imported aluminium, it is not up to 3,800 psm. |

michlins: I don’t use usually use that type of door so I don’t keep it in my collection. If you check thousands of images that I have shared online on various platform (Nairaland, Facebook, Houzz, Nigerian Property Centre, Construction Journal, Skyscrapercity, NextHome websites...), you won’t find one. So I can’t really tell which is good or bad. When I use the word “we” it doesn’t really mean I did it anyway. The client picked his order. Modified ______ If I’d be fair, I think there’s really nothing to justify the huge price difference. 1 Like |

BrabusNG:actually there's. The cost of living and the processes involved in making the doors. Just because I'm able to start and finish seven in two days (this is without extra hands) doesn't mean everyone else can. Those things are what really happen. Another thing is that the cost of production here is quite very competitive. You told me people are paid on a daily basis instead of what they could do. That attitude doesn't help in increasing competition and fine tuning the skills. Let's say I asked you to work and you don't do a good job, consider yourself done with. It's that simple. You must be fast and still do good job. Those things are negligible but very much affect the prices 2 Likes |
