There are too many doors here. You can
1. Remove the door D2 between the lobby and the ante room and wall up the opening.
2. Remove completely the two walls between the family lounge and the lobby. This will increase the size of your family lounge..
3. Ignore the balcony by the dinning and wall up the exist door opening there.
4. Also, increase the size of the window at the entrance porch for better illumination.

1 tonne of 12 mm rod in Lagos is #380k as at today.

I went to my vendor shop to buy and when he gave me the price, within my mind I felt he wanted to cheat me and we quarreled a bit before i angrily left his shop only for me to go to another vendor and they quoted me #385k last. I left there and went to another place and I was told #380k last price.

Shame couldn't make me go back to the initial vendor who has been my supplier since the inception of my project. Little did I know he was giving me the actual price. I had to later buy from the third person because I felt guilty of quarreling with my supplier and didn't have the energy going back to his shop.

God help this country with the way price of material is increasing. This same 1 tonne 12 mm rod was less than 200k as at October 2020.

Yes the price as been running crazy since last year with almost all the building materials. You need to be specific what type you buy. TMT I believe is one of the best in market in time of quality and size. Even the so called local the sale 9 mm as 12mm and 11mm as 16 mm. Prices rocketing too. What is going on for God sake.

It’s well!

I’m hoping I can get between 400 - 410 per ton. I need more than 40 tons in Ibadan.

I just passed ring road site now.

This is the new design after he removed the Dinning balcony and added the space to family lounge. He also closed the door at the ante room and wall it. Please check it out and let me if it’s good to go.

Thanks for your contribution. Should we remove it or start another building plan? He said he’ll correct anything I want him to correct but I should not blame him in future if anything goes wrong.

Don't be scared.
It's just a rough estimate considering the escalating costs of building material.

If you're paying another money for the new drawing, contract someone else.

Engineers in the house. I gave someone a job of doing architectural design of 3 beds for me and when he delivered the job. I noticed he put two exist doors apart from main entrance. One exit from the kitchen and the other at the Dinning.
Please help
.

You should be able to decide that. It is your job, if you like it, retain it & if you dont like it, tell him to remove it.

Yeah this one is better, but I still don't see the need or functionality of the lobby.

If possible remove the Walls between the lounge and the lobby.

That lobby would be very dark and very unnecessary. Since you are managing the plot, there's no need for plenty details.

There's nothing that's going to happen no matter what he changes except the building finds a way to suspend in space by itself. If you intend to take off that wall, it's better you make it as part of the master bedroom but let it be the closet/wardrobe space.

If the person who did the design can also come up with an alternative design it to compare to this it would be nice given the available plot size to use as designated by you. I know there are optional designs that will be better.

If you're asking of structural implications.....then there is none whatsoever.

What do you intend to do with all that space above the head?
Note that that is actually 5 coaches whn u add the beam thickness.

Hello, there is absolutely nothing wrong with your plan, build as it is. For future reference, permit me to replicate exactly. Thank you.

My own little advice...
Both the ante room and and family sitting room won't have a proper settings, especially TV console settings. I think you should look into how your want the living room settings to look like and plan accordingly.
