hello to the house, I earlier put my plan up here for criticism. I got some reviews, saydfact as promised, helped with a redesign at no cost. Attached is the 1st brief. I will love to get the input of the house.

One of the challenge he faced was that i told him to try to maintain the existing facade because the initial plan had already been approved by the estate body.

I’m running the numbers to see if I can setup a sawmill. Not my area of expertise though I’m a woodworker.

My concern is if Nigerians will pay extra to get grade lumber.

You won't have to worry about folks paying extra, you are unlikely to meet demand; folks from the Northern part of the country regularly show up here all the time causing scarcity sometimes. Visit the Bodija plank market and talk to the practitioners, I have been buying the saw-milled planks since last year and just paid N4,500 for 4x4 of Orokoro hardwood.

Your challenge will be running the sawmill, procuring the right kind of woods at the right time, dealing with the peculiarities of the raining season, etc.

I can confirm this. I was in Bodija mid-year to buy some planks and I was told the same thing

looks better.
i noticed that windows and door symbols were not fully inscribed, nevertheless these are my concerns

As micgray100 have rightly pointed out, the dining needs to be ventilated and lightened up naturally

The ante room, looks as if there is no window at all, not even one, it should have at least one window.

Then the Master bedroom does not have a walk in closet whereas a common room does have one. not a problem though, boils down to choice.

A dining in a lobby, the problem with this type of layout, is that one cannot decide to casually stay in the dining to relax, do some task on a laptop, or press phone, you won't be comfortable doing that there.

Thank you for the pointers.

I appreciate you. I found a source in Epe already that brinks lumber down via the waterways from Bayelsa (I think).

I need to decide to do a lumber yard or just another concrete block factory.

Exactly what my complain was also..... The dining grin grin grin

As for the windows... The Ante room has a window, i just didn't represent windows yet incase i have to adjust one or 2 things.... (except in the kit and living where i put windows) - infact the Ante wld have 2 windows on both side..

As for the dining ventilation - I told her my hands are tight because of the many conditions attached to the Re-design...

Thanks for the comment...

Thank you so much.

I am not really bothered about the closet.

The main koko is the dinning

If a Burglary proof(protector) is used for the Anteroom with a window on the dining

Will this solve the ventilation issue for the dining?

not really, will only work for lighting, except when a strong wind moves, and that would be very much effective when the entrance door is open, if i might guess, you wouldn't want to leave it open. and for the sake of privacy since ante serves as a waiting room for visitors.

Having that dining at that particular position doesn't go well because if you furnish that space with your dining set, there won't be adequate space for circulation to other areas, ventilation and lighting is also an issue.

I wonder if the width of the visitor's wc is up to 900mm.

Assuming you want to go ahead with the new plan, move the entrance door from the anteroom to one end of the wall so the other end can have a window even if it is just 450mm wide.
Open up a door from the anteroom to the room on the left so it could serve as a visitor's room, then close up the opening connecting it to the dining, this will help isolate visitors from the rest of the building.
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by UC92: 10:00pm On Dec 14, 2021
But if I were you I would do it this way as shown on the sketch.
As you move into the entrance porch, you meet a 4ft door that leads to the circulation lobby, this time no anteroom.
On the left side, beneath the second flight of stairs, you have your visitors toilet which you can access from the proposed parlor marked "p".
Now, you zone your parlor, dining, kitchen to the left side of the plan. From the circulation lobby you have a door way of about 2.1m with an Arch top, this will help through in light from the parlor to the circulation lobby.
From the parlor you move into the dining with another 2.1m doorway with Arch top. Then behind the dining you have your kitchen.

Then on the right side of the plan, you have the bedrooms and it's conveniences.
Zoning the bedrooms and convenience to one side will also help in running the plumbing pipes and inspection chambers, you won't have to have waste pipes and inspection chambers running around your building.

Note: you can decide to either eliminate or keep the rear staircase.

Daalu.
