saydfact:I'm not defending quackery but clients are the ones encouraging it just like the ikoyi collapsed building. You want a cheap contractor because he said a foundation of 3m can be achieved with 1m and now you wonder why the blinding is 3inches, hahaha you are lucky to get a blinding. Just stay 3days without visiting your site i bet you that building will be at roof level. Contractors are the reason for building collapse. The drawings are correct but the execution is the problem. 1 Like |

BlushPink: Disclaimer: I am not an engineer! 1. No comment 2. No comment 3. Please read my back comments, I posted on proper ratio of concrete mixes. Those are standards worldwide. Those standards explain why some people have to redo the motorways in their premises every other year or even sooner. Those standards also explain why a house might fall or have issues when it ought not to 4. This issue came up when I wanted to build. If you must mold your own blocks then you need enough space to lay out the blocks, you also need to water those blocks for a couple of days (I have forgotten how many) which means you must have a reliable source of water, and finally security for those blocks. If you don't have all of these in place, just get commercial blocks. Good luck |

BlushPink: I believe you got answers to other questions posed. For foundation, I’d pay per day and not based on the quantity of blocks used. I’m sure good masons won’t even agree to paying per blocks with you during foundation stage |

mssiah: My advice. To lower tiling cost, you do not have to tile your whole kitchen from top to bottom. Why not just do a 1m girth tiling between top and bottom cabinet? Your kitchen is 9m² which means it's most likely ( 3m x 3m). The height of your wall is most likely 2.7m. That means the 36sqm for kitchen wall is excess even if you're tiling everywhere (There's 3m allowance for door space and window space). 5 Likes |

nannymcphee:Poor representation, basic symbols are missing, the flow is not looking good, i will always recommend that the designer should always furnish the spaces, so we can understand the relationship between the furniture and spaces. Brb .... The floor plan looks good, perhaps it could even look better, i like that you provided a big window for the central lobby to provide lighting, kudos, the parlour and dining is properly ventilated and natural lighting will not be lacking, however i feel the dining is too small, i will recommended 2700mm, a small dining set for 6 would be 800mm for table, 2x400mm for the chairs on both sides, then a minimum of 350mm for leg space, if you sum it up, movement will be neary impossible around the dining. For the kitchen, it is narrow too, but that will depend on your the type of kitchen layout you choose, to maximise the space you have there, i suggest L shaped, and would be better if the door is moved closer to the door nearer to the dining. For the bedrooms having a mutual wall, i think it would be much easier for plumbing if the toilets are side by side. The rooms seems to be designed not to use beds with headboard, the spacing between those windows will mean no headboard, but that would be unfair for the master bedroom, i suggested you give a minimum of 1800mm as spacing between two tiny windows in the masters bedroom for headboard. The upper floor is no no please redesign Why is the wall layout going zigzag. In practice it best you stick to the grid concept, it is easier to build. look at the wc locations and the door locations. To be sincere if you continue with this design you will end up breaking already built walls, also ensure a good structural engineer does a critical study of this design and take his advice and recommendations serious, even that of a mechanical engineer too. I wish you well 3 Likes

nannymcphee: In as much as I know my opinion will have little or no impact on the final outcome of this design, I must say without mincing words intending homeowners or developers should try as much as possible to engage Architects to render quality Architectural services. This particular design here has failed in almost every aspect of basic Architectural consideration: Climatology Design Economics Functional flow. Please ask your designer these questions 1. Why do you need two staircase for this design? 2. Why is non of the functional spaces cross ventilated? 3. Why the shape of the floorplan? Your entry point seem like a hideout to me. The essence of your anteroom is defeated. I wish I could talk to whoever did this one on one. Good luck ma. 2 Likes |

UC92: Thanks alot BrickDevo. @ UC92 Your input is valued. This following thread will give you my history. I have engaged and paid 3 architect so far. https://www.nairaland.com/6168555/please-kindly-criticize-3bedroom-plan (1st Architect) https://www.nairaland.com/2550211/general-topic-thread-to-discuss-anything/2288#103081162 (2nd & 3rd Architect) The 2bedroom/1bedroom BQ was redesigned by N3xt. (Architect 3) I didn't give N3xt this 3bedroom to review/redesign, wanted to start with the BQ. The BQ will soon be roofed and I am thinking of starting the foundation of the 3bedroom. I was intimidated with the cost of starting the 3bedroom but the experience of the BQ has allayed that. This is why i am bringing it to the house for review. it appears i will be needing a 4th Architect. so all reviews are highly welcome On the issue of two staircase, I requested for it. I wanted an entry and exit point for the 1st floor(in case of emergency and also, the need to be able to exit/access the house without visitors knowing you have come in or what you are bringing into the house) For the other 2 questions, I dont have the answer to them. Attached is a rough site plan, Rightside (BQ) is developed with those spacing. Leftside is undeveloped but those spacing are what MUST be maintained upon development. Arrows shows where the building is facing/will face 1 Like

nannymcphee: You people should endeavor to always attach your site plans as well so we can now if design was born out of shape/size of site n also ways to improve on it. Too tired to look through tonight n hand filled up too, I think brickdevo has pointed things out. That should be a starting point 3 Likes |
