Destiny27:two tanks means a storey building or more which should be at least 25ft tall. You should use 5 by 3 channel. You should budget #550,000 depending on your location. I'm so sorry for the error in communication. I was the one who made a mistake. Enjoy your weekend 3 Likes |

Moda1:sure it's ok to add another tank so as to provide adequate water for the needs of the occupants. I suggest you add a 750 gallons of tank to the one you already have. And yes it MUST be constructed on site. I don't know the height of the building to inform you on the possible costs 1 Like |

Access14: Economically, you sand fill AFTER you have put up a building foundation on the site at the very least. You use the height of the foundation as a reference point as to how high you should sand fill. To sand fill an empty land, you should be prepared to follow up by planting trees, flowers and carpet grass or rain (erosion) will wash the sandfill away over time which may turn out to be a wasted effort. |

Thank you Sir for the honest advice Pls how do I control the rain water and gutter water that flows to land whenever it rain and whenever the drainage overflow because I open a hole for the rain water to flow out but the gutter always return water through that hole to the land anytime it overflow How do I go about it? diordaves: |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by diordaves(m): 2:12am On Jan 03, 2021 |
Access14: To be honest, your immediate worry is not water flooding the land but the pure water sachets, nylon bags, plastic bottles and rubbish I see on that land from your pictures. Over time, the plastic rubbish will devalue the land more, making the land difficult and expensive to develop than flood. So evacuate ALL plastic waste from the land first. Then either close eye and kuku fence the land to prevent the neighborhood using the land as a rubbish dump site and the fence will prevent the neighborhood water rushing and settling into the land. If immediate fund is an issue, do a dwarf wall (fence) to prevent water getting into the land and burst a hole in the fence to let out water into the gutter. 1 Like |

JustCryptos: Its really Sad. I should not drag this issue but to be honest, there is no excuse to justify his not chipping-in an opinion, as a Professional in the field. All you need to do is issue a Caveat at the end of your review to say something like: my review is based on Price in my locality, which may not be the same in yours. Finito. IMO, it is a selfish behaviour to just refuse and it negates the spirit of brotherliness here. So many people review quotes here, not minding their locality or any other excuse, afteral it is not a Bibeli. We sabi ourselves. Anyway, the matter is closed, pardon my bringing it up, l post based on the last post l read. 5 Likes |

Sometimes things are not as complicated as we make it seem. From the pictures it appears your land is already fenced...If so, clear the debris and sand fill your land above the drainage and gutter height. If you have to, then block off the gutter drain off into your land for now. when it is time to build, you'll incorporate drainage plans into your design. No big deal here. Access14: 3 Likes 1 Share |

n3xt:/ The problem is that we lack the right materials and products. I could go to Home Depot and get everything I need relatively cheap as plug and play and it will stand the test of time. We just don't like to pay close attention to details. Quality Assurance is almost non-existent. Eg. Most of the welding jobs I have seen among the artisans in Nigeria are very shoddy. And these are the fellas that are supposed to handle projects? What I chose to do is pay the workers to do the manual part of a job. When they finish, I bring the right tools to finetune it. I have been able to maintain my sanity doing it this way. / 1 Like 2 Shares |
