Something like this is what I have in mind but on a reduced scale.

I have a question for those that have gone there before me like Spyder880 especially.

I just acquired another 1 acre property for sale near the Omi Adio station. I'm toying with the idea of designing it as a ✓ °√micro estate. Fewer and smaller plots,✓° √central/shared gateman, shared borehole,✓°√bio digestive septic tank,✓°√ small height fence between plots,✓°√ perimeter fence, etc

How viable do you guys think this might be?

Thanks.

I welcome all inputs.



Very Good Plan.

From my own small sense o! A shared borehole within an estate? Does that mean one house would have to wait for Another before pumping water! or is there a plan Where the shared borehole would pump & distribute water at the same time to all apartments/houses?



||||
I think Creating a side attraction aside from the train station, wouldn't be a bad idea.
Infact it would help boost the micro estate to investors & also buyers/(those who would want to settle down there).


My opinion tho.......

The commercial borehole will constantly feed a central main large tank. From there it’ll feed smaller tanks in each building. It should be seamless integration.

I’m hoping someone else can sort out the attraction though I do have plans for an amusement park in the future.

Thanks for your input.

I want a steady and clean power supply to my household equipment. Where would you suggest I mount the stabilizer?

Mains > Meter > DB > Studio Equipment

I’d love to have it between the Meter and the DB. I hope that’s cool?

I also have a dedicated inverter in the studio apartment.

The question I always ask myself is this “How are other estates within the suburb performing in the last one decade?”

- Adron Estate, Bako
- Government Schemes, Owode & Command. Most folks don’t even know there’s a government scheme in Command.
- Lade community turned Estate. This is the fastest growing organized community in Omi Adio in the last 2 decades where like-minded homeowners reside. It’s not even a gated community.

These communities have been in existence many years before the creation of Ologuneru, Akala expressway, Elebu and the likes but the ROI is not really encouraging.

Rental cost too is very very low.

So for me, it’s not a viable investment. We’ve had train stations in that community since the 60s and it hasn’t really had any major effect on the property buying pattern of the people.

Just my humble submission here.

Good morning NL

Prospecting Ijebu Ode | The next big thing

Today, I intend visiting one of my ongoing project in a small community in Ijebu Ode.

The interesting part of this project is that we are building in a small town that’s closest to the city center where massive developmental projects are ongoing.

During my last visit, there were massive road construction work happening in the city (though not getting to my site). I’d be checking out some of these projects and how it’s likely going to affect the growth and investment in this community.

Another big plus for Ijebu Ode right now is the ongoing Ijebu-Ode - Epe Expressway which is currently at 95% completion.

I’ve commissioned my iron worker to see how we can make this a swinging instead of sliding gate. And if it has to be sliding how to make it canter leveraged. I hate those tracks with a passion with all the oil.

It’s a good looking gate.

Good morning folks.

I want to take time to salute everyone here who is managing to getting business done here in Nigeria. It's like going to war everyday. Last weeks price is RIP, policy changes on the fly, etc.

Special salute to all those like me who are playing with their own money in Nigeria, not banks or clients. May we not get caught up in any spur of the moment government policy change grin

Please I want to do a 2.50m x 3.00m x 3. 00m depth septic tank.

Builder is asking for

1. 300 pics of Blocks.
2. 20 bags of cement
3. 10 ton of sharp sand
4. 10 ton of 3/8 sand
5. 15 length of 1x12 plank.

Please help me and criticize/analyze this professionally

First off, what is 3/8 sand? Or do you mean granite?

I can't see granite in the quote.

I can't see iron rod in the quote.

I can see blocks which means your land is dry and solid land. Not waterlogged. Is this correct?

It is a 'small' sceptic tank. You may not need that many materials as quoted. In terms of the number of bags of cement; are you going to plaster the inside of the septic tank? You need to confirm this with the builder as this will impact significantly on the number of cement.

It is also called coarse sand. The coarse nature varies from size to size depending where it's been dug out.

Yes, very beautiful. I saw a finished one somewhere when I was passing. Please explain the meaning of the bolded. I equally hate the sight of used engine oil that is normally used to oil the rollers and tracks.

Unreasonable Policies are really affecting businesses here , They're No Regulators , That's why Anyone can wake up & do as they like.
Government should review some of their Policies.

It's Not only affecting businesses/Business owners but also affecting the Poor Masses.

yes chief it is possible to convert this gate to swing (I have done it severally for clients who prefer swing gate over sliding but I think I prefer the design in sliding) but the stainless accessories comes out small considering the fact that the standard swing gate is approximately 12 ft with each leaf at about 6ft. Putting the stainless accessories couple with the fact that we have to consider uniformity of both left and right leaf makes the gate kind of busy with too many short stainless accessories. That's just my thought on the outcome Infact I have done it with a pedestrian on the 12ft swing gate and with the pedestrian gate seperate from the 12ft swing gate and the result still seems the same to me. So personally I feel this gate design is best done in sliding

OK I am able to locate a couple of pictures (don't mind the quality of picture lol) on my phone to buttress my point.

1 with pedestrian on 12ft swing gate

2. Pedestrian seperate from 12ft swing gate

No changes to the design needed to make it a swinging gate.

You are correct. The guy said to deliver to my site is 270k. I have a shaka plate gate we just concluded and I am trying to trade it in for this one and add something on top despite the fact that the shaka plate I did is more expensive than this.
