kingzsoul: Set aside N2m for a 4-Board 2 Bed Raft foundation. That figure should conveniently take care of a 120sqm building footprint. The cost covers all groundworks to DPC |

davodyguy: Hmmm, first time seeing a house that looks like mine. Same length on a half plot and same monopitch (shade) roof design. I used about 370bags, 2X30 tones and 1X20 tones all of plastering sand. Labour was 650k all round, including plastering of the decking of ground floor except the living room as I didn't intend putting POP on the ground floor ceiling except the living room. Money no dey bro ![]() Setting up of Scaffolding was about 30k as I already had my bamboo. I did the plastering early January last year and I haven't done anything on the building this year as money no dey. Even the new large windows I bought are yet to be dressed. This year bad gaan ![]() 5 Likes |

Focusmind:It is well. Once there's vaccine for COVID-19, things should get better. The carpenter first billed me ₦150,000 to set up scaffolding. I asked him again: Baba sey ₦150 or 150k? Cos I was upset. I think I ended up paying him ₦50,000. The ₦650,000 isn't bad. But with the economic condition now and Labourers hardly getting jobs as they're pre COVID-19, I should be able to get it lesser, my thoughts though. I intend starting on Monday, 12th October with external part First. I ordered finishing materials, which are yet to arrive Nigeria, since June that includes Kitchen hood, table top Gas stove, lightings and switches, Distribution Boards etc. Hence, we can't do internal plastering for now |

davodyguy: You will get labour cheaper these days. They are all begging for jobs now. I used the guys from Togo to do the plastering. Dem sabi waste cement sha but I liked the thickness of the plaster. Your build is just the same as mine in shape, design and length except the front pillar. There is no pillar on mine. When my wife first saw my building, she said the thing looks like a hall ![]() Me I no send as I chose the design. It is long as I have additional 2 bedroom duplex attached to the main house.

n3xt: As regards the bold 1 for effective curing the form work holding the columns needs still be intact with appropriate bracket/braces holding it at intervals/sections. With regards to bold 2&3....I think it would not be fair to generalize that improper curing is a major reason/cause.................I believe for failure or cracks to appear on concrete it takes about 3 other elements to be of low quality/standard being used before such will occur. 1 Like |

EgunMogaji2: Bold 1 is the way to go. Bold 2 a touch of project management. Bold 3 as long as they have sufficient rest/sleeping time I can allow that. As a person i'm good with 3 hours of sleep/day. I have 2 masons who resume work to site by 6am-5pm especially when there's block work to be done at the site. |

bixton: Hmmm! ![]() That’s not generalization. It’s actually one of the major reasons. Here’s what I’ve recently observed in the field of construction, especially the unregulated ones like we have in Nigeria which is why I made mention of all the Construction/Building Regulatory Bodies in my earlier post, things largely defers from what should be done and what is being done generally. So my answer would infer from what should be done (acceptable standard) and the best practices. In a standard construction, how many days should it actually take to cast slab after column? The answer for it is “the concrete should only be subjected to loading after 28 days or it attains its full strength.” So if we are to keep formwork intact for 28 days while awaiting the concrete to attain its full strength, how then can we deliver a fully furnished house within 30 - 45 days? Crazy scheduling, I guess! ____________ The industry standard Beams, girders, or slabs supported by columns or walls shall not be cast or erected until concrete in the vertical support members is no longer plastic. 2 Likes 1 Share |

As common as Concrete is these days we should not forget that Concrete is a chemical compound. This is why you have mixing ratios and other conditions. Every chemical reaction have a time for the reaction to complete If you disrupt the time to complete any chemical reaction you will never get the best results. The Curing time for concrete is the time for reaction to complete. 2 Likes |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by EgunMogaji2: 10:18am On Oct 11, 2020 |
Concrete curing is a chemical process. This process can be accelerated within acceptable safe reasons by taking various steps such as covering the mix or adding additives to the mix. This is a FACT. Many hold a super computer in the palm of their hands but don’t use it. Everything needs to be done by calculations and hence why we have structural and other specific types of engineers in the construction field. This reminds me of a conversation I had during a tour inside Hoover Dam in Las Vegas. We were told that they poured concrete 24 hours a day. When I specifically asked about curing time I was told by the tour lead that accelerants were added to the mix. I did not quote anyone please don’t quote me as I’m not feeling well due to Sunday’s fasting ![]() 1 Like

bixton: It's obvious you are ignorant to what vaccine is and the safety procedures it goes through before approval for safe use,.... Nigeria don't have the laboratory to certify vaccines nor develop an ingredient to make one. You haven't seen a covid-19 patient, so that assertion and assumption is complete rubbish. Grafic curve shows infections in age groups. 2 Likes
