I just acquired half a plot of land in ikorodu and i am planning to build a storey building of 4 flat of 2 bedroom each.
Please educate me on how many blocks i will need to get the 2 flats down to decking level.
Also i need a good architect to help with designs and drawing.

Good morning all I have a little contribution on this tread and as it stands the building is going to take 4500 blocks to the decking level considering the fact that the land is leveled and if not it will be more than that I am a builder and I know what I'm saying and below is a 3d of the building on a 30by120 plot though this one is just a 2bdrm flat not 2 flat but the back can continue the other flat.

You can call this number if in need of more assistance.

Thank you eghosajohnny: So 4500 blocks will take the 2 flats to decking level ?
eghosajohnny: 4:44pm On Nov 08, 2014
Exactly sir, for that building the numbers of blocks I stated will take it to the level but you must do lone thing for which is you must get this blocks little by little cos that way it will not be destroyed cos if you have bring them to site the worker will mismanage the blocks in the process some will be destroyed.

For the workmanship it not will be more than 700-800k depend on the person managing the project.

any other question do not hesitate to write on the tread and
I will answer as soon ass I visit the tread.

Thank you very much sir, you ve been very helpful..
I am looking at using 9 inch blocks for the foundation and 6 inches to raise it up to decking level.
Also can i get an idea of what it will cost to do the decking ?

Its a good idea on the way you've planned to use the blocks but my advice is you get about 2800 9" blocks and 1700 6" so that you can use the 9" on both the foundation and the surrounding of the building that way it will be helpfull and onthe decking it depends on how you are handling the project even if I tell you now that its 2.6m which I am sure I can handle it with you might be surprise some other builder would take more or less the funds to do the decking but I will advice you get some one to negotiate the decking with cos builders know how to controll workers more than client that's the secret there,the way a mason would want to work for his builder will be different if you are the client I'm sure you will take this from me but in all like I have said the labour to decking level is between 750-800k including the german floor and the decking 2.6m.

This is an ongoing project I am handling now

For any guide needed pls call

@eghosajohnny:Out of the N2.6M estimated for Decking,how much of it goes into workmanship/Supervision? Thanks for your anticipated response.

Contractors and builders in the house, please kindly update the price for the decking with current price of materials in Nigeria as of today.

I'm interested. Thanks.
MRFIXER001: 12:48am On Sep 27, 2023
It all depends on the total square meter if the slab you are taking about.

Sharing the drawings or dimension will be better for accurate estimation
