Usually, a rainy day mean a lost working day to building projects. Planning ahead will ensure that project construction is executed without unexpected costs or delays.

Well-planned projects cost less than projects that are implemented in a crisis situation, so get ready before the rain is forecasted and be prepared. Do the following:

1. Get timely collection of meteorological information!
2. Get adequate materials or supplies on site. It will do absolutely no good to merely have materials ordered when the rainstorm comes.

Although, there are times when you may need to shift goalpost. Anything is possible if you do it right!


Thanks Brabus! Happy building! You seem to enjoy what you're doing. Thumbs up!

^^^ Thanks man.

Still arranging materials. Hope to start taking deliveries from this afternoon. B4 then, I'll be meeting with other builders in the neighbourhood to see how we can benefit from each other.

No man is an island. One site adjacent to mine is building three units of 3 bedroom duplex and they are already at decking stage. Lets see how I can benefit from them.

Thanks Seun and Lawyer (the moderator) for bringing this to the front page. I would like to use this opportunity to thank you for adding the "Like" button to threads and posts on Nairaland. I would also like to suggest that you look at the layout. We should be able to see bookmarked, related and new thread at a glance on any page. I suggest you reduce the size of the space for posts and do a 2 or 3-column page (facebook style) so that you can accomodate all this new features.
I'm a design consultant so I can tell when a design is boring. But all the same, I must thank you for the opportunity you afforded Nigerians.

Great job.

Well now, more than 70% of materials for the foundation stage are in. I anticipate that there will be a lot of progress over the next few days, as we are working overtime to ensure that we finish on schedule.
I obviously hope that the next few days will give you an appreciation for the attention to detail and build quality that we care about so much at NextHome Builder.

Brabus, I dont like how the bedroom door is being exposed to the livingroom. A lobby would have been a better plan to the bedroom. Exposing the room doors to the livingroom looks more of an old design. That's just my view and critique of the plan you attached. Could you explain why the house is been designed that way?

Thanks , I'll make necessary adjustment by talking the guest bdrm door to the space where we have the guest bed toilet and the toilet in the space where you have the door. How about that? The guest bdrm door now face the staircase

nice thread! i'd been following it from page 1,but i don't buy into your idea of waiting for the delivery of materials to the site before comencing the foundation excavation. It can be partially accepted if you are rest assured that you can achieve the excavation and casting in a day,which i think is largely determined by the size of your labour force or their efficiency.

Live from the project site. Digging has commenced and much to our advantage, it drizzled over night and as a result the ground is wet and the weather is cool. 8 men are on site and we are hoping that we should be half way done by today, all things being equal.
Re: Building A Luxury Block Of Flats: Day-to-day Updates (with pictures) by Fhemmmy: 2:18pm On Jun 17, 2011
