BrabusNG:if we build big houses, we would die, if we build small houses we would still die, so let's build what makes us happy and fulfilled (big or small), because in the end, we would still die. besides big house equals big money for architect and builder, big money for building materials guys, big money for maintenance guys, it helps our ministry. 7 Likes |

ARM (Developer of Lakowe Lakes, Fara Park and Adiva Plainfields) 8. Rivtaf 9. Gran Imperio (Developer of Inagbe Resort) And so many others too numerous to mention 2 Likes

BrabusNG:our industry don't tolerate kazeems that would delibrately leave something unfixed so that you can keep coming back. Once you use the right materials and professionals in the building stage, maintenance cost is almost zero. Just sweep and mop whenever you need to. Most of us that travel to the village for Christmas, all we do is sweep and mop and everything returns to factory standard ![]() |

Good evening! I am trying to decide between longspan, steptile and metcopo for roofing my building. 0.55mm thickness is my desired. Which one among them gives better protection against leakage? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by BrabusNG: 6:11pm On Sep 20, 2020 |
vickzie: I guess Abiola, Eze Ego, and the likes couldn’t afford professionals and were using substandard materials in their magnificent projects. ![]() Hence the reason their families couldn’t maintain the properties after they’re gone. 2 Likes |

gbadexy: It’s the place to be! 2 Days / Thousand + Visitors/50+ Exhibitors / N20b+ worth of deals! There are more than 2,500 guaranteed ready-to-invest visitors. It’s an event that offers large scope of sales, networking and branding opportunities. I learnt a lot about precast concrete elements from the University of Lagos Team at the 2014 event 1 Like

adanny01:wow, thats an eye opener. its obviously a tenants market in nigeria. 80pc of 2 bedroom flats in the uk only have 1 toilet and bathroom. |

megan1: they could be habitating in the hollow blocks n after plastering find their way up to the roof n drop from any possible hole or space. that's just my personal opinion as their could be other ways like through your floor drains if not properly done n possibly with loads or items you moved in with like someone's also mentioned. just do thorough check n fumigate both the roof n the house extensively again. 4 Likes |

bebe2: I don't think having that is an over kill. It's all dependent on the owner of the property and a willing occupant.I know lots of tenants who would feel comfortable with separate toilet. Rates also are dependent on location also. In Bayelsa there are 1 bedroom flats that are at #300K and still have an extra toilet. I did a design and built same units of 1 bedroom flat on 2 plots of land having a visitors' toilet and the rate will go for same #300K. |

rotecch77: Are these doors really bullet proof? How does one actually know that a door is bullet proof apart from trying to test it with a gun? I once had a discussion some years back with a foreigner who told me if a bullet proof door does not come with a certificate backing it's proof(yness) then it's not bullet proof but just a grade of armoured door. Is there any contrary view? 2 Likes |

bebe2:this part of the drawing is likely to be copy and paste, might be wrong though. available floor space and usage rate would determine. |

I have a 5 bedroom bungalow that's is already at roofing stage, recently i decided to do First image: the original plan. Second image: what i intend doing. Will this in anyway affect the overall safety of the house? Do i need to do additional colum anywhere in the house? Brabus I'll like to speak with you about roofs, i really like that type of roof that you posted recently, can i send you a mail?

BrabusNG: thats my biggest dilemma in this project. the location is not very populated and i fear i might not be able to recoup my money in a long time hence i need an estimate before i embark on this project. i also have a 600sqm land in Abraham adesanya, i rather concentrate on building that for better returns. 1 Like |

mufutau55: In fact, my ongoing retirement home, a six bedroom duplex has two visitors's toilets, one downstairs and on the upper floor. The main living room is without a void. I wouldn't want my visitors using my toilet, my wife or children's upstairs or the stress of juttling downstairs and up again. Again, maybe an over over over kill with eight toilets, but you need all the comfort, privacy, luxury in your retirement! 2 Likes 1 Share |
