Interestingly and ironically, the companies that produces most of these substandard materials are owned by the Chinese.

I can’t say you’re robbed. Neither can I say you got a good deal until I see the thickness of what was done for you.

If I should go with the thickness of the POP in one of my build, I think you got a very good deal using 95 bags to cover 166sqm. We did 16mm thickness on the project.

The thicker, the better the POP.
Thank you boss. So 95bags is still within range? I thought I was robbed. The guy said he was gonna use 55bags initially, only for the usage to start increasing.

Slice of a house.

These kind of houses violate almost every building code and should not be allowed to stand.

They build alot of rubbish on Lagos Island.

Chinese, just like all people, have a criminal tendency but it is only in Nigeria that they are assured of zero consequences, for their criminal acts.
You think all those Loans they give Nigeria are completely devoid fo kick-backs?
The Chinese are collaborating with "Criminal and Evil" Nigerian business men.

Good evening bosses in the building , I need an urgent advise.

A neighbor packaged a government acquisition land and sold it to me as a genuine land sometimes last year . I was at window level because I got to know it was a government land and surprisingly he never feel sorry for what he did at the end of the day I decided to sell off the land and recover whatever I can get out of my investment and I told him to sell it off since 13 months ago but he couldn't get a buyer before another agent brought a buyer and I sold the property at a lesser price than my investment.

I paid the guy that brought the buyer and the first agent is disturbing me for his agency fee even when he couldn't bring any buyer and I know he's been charging interested people before taking them to the land and he knew I sold the land at a loss o.


Is he entitled to any payment despite not bringing buyer for the property ?

16 mm is the ideal thickness for POP you can go up to 20mm if you have deep pocket, anything below NOT good enough, its may fell off in case of vibration

coldcandy:
You unknowingly bought a govt land which you now know it's illegal.
Now you sold it to another person who will later suffer the consequences of buying illegal land and you are not feeling bad about that.
You are now asking for advice on whether to pay a fee to a criminal agent! You get mind sir!
Wetin do us for this country? Criminals everywhere!!

We did this for a client last week, the client has already built a storey building with a penthouse

Merry Xmas everyone.

I have been thinking of mounting a 4 bedroom bungalow, but I recently made enquiries for Cement and the distributor said 4,500. With this in mind, I'm left wondering how much I should budget to compete this project. Considering the inflated cost of building materials.

I will appreciate if anyone could help with a detailed or estimated figure.

Its unfair to call it rubbish, if you live in Ibadan where the value of land is buy one, get five as bonus.
Lagos Island is densely-built, a Prime Business District where Billions of Naira are turned-over on a daily basis.
You wont get a full plot to buy in such areas, even if it is available, they wont sell to you, they know the value.
Again, some of these plots are 3rd generation, inherited land and it has been divided and divided all over again.

Building code (set backs et al) are not enforced and cannot be enforced to the letter, in such areas and l am sure they have building approval that takes their unique situation into consideration.
But the building shown in picture are solidly built and cannot be refer to as rubbish.

A lot of houses, even abroad, have no parking space and occupants have to park on the street, in front of their house or anywhere else they can find space. They are given a parking sticker, to ensure the process is not abused.

Good evening everyone, especially the elders, @Mufutau55, spyer880, Egunmogaji and those not mentioned

Please, I've noticed this trend in buildings around me, where the pillars are first casted, both upstairs and downstairs, before block work is done, both external and internal. I'll like to ask, is there a particular reason for such, and can it be done in residential buildings? (Seems most of the buildings that do such are office complexes or stores).

Also, I'll like to know how many blocks are needed in constructing a simple self-contain apartment? It's going to be two selfcontain down, then two upstairs. Then another set, until the plot is filled, they are going to be detached. Reason for this is paucity of funds.

So, I'll love to know how many blocks will be needed for Just one, so I can start from.there

Thanks

How the he'll did he get approval to build on such land?

The land is not even enough for set back because you need 3m on each side.

We shouldn't be dealing with this type of land in Nigeria.
What can such width accommodate?
What about building regulations, the set backs as required?
May God heal our land.

Until you present your architectural drawing and the nature of land (topography) any figure you get might not be helpful

In our current build, because of the nature of the land (topography) we are using twice the number of the expected blocks for the design on a level ground.

Such is called a skeletal structure.
Mostly done to certify the stability of a structure.
When it comes to building that goes beyond a floor. What matters most are the columns (pillars), beams and suspended floors.

Framed building is arguably the best method of building construction , however the limitation why it seems people dont adopt that method of building in residential project is
