twinskenny:I am more concerned that the building is tilting I might be wrong tho, might be from the camera position. In most cases, bungalows are built without structural design, but this right here needs one (A profound one).

I agree on the need of structural design for this structure especially with its Kilimanjaro roof skyrocketing towards the sky. Can this roof withstand wind impact? Charisdesigns: 1 Like |

At the bolded, that is the standard practice even in Nigeria. In Nigeria, building and construction professionals have scale of fees approved by the Federal Govt of Nigeria which is subject to the Estimated Cost of Construction of the project. It's widely used in Govt contracts, multinationals and few high end clients. In other cases, professionals just flow with negotiations just to make the services affordable to everyday clients.

QSFemi: Excellent. You see on my build, lots of issues. Electrical outlets in the wrong locations, windows in wrong places not allowing proper furniture placement, etc No American architect if in charge as a turnkey would allow that to happen, I own all those missteps on my build because I chose to be the General Contractor on my build and I trusted locals who were incapable. I won’t blame my architect because he delivered what I paid him for, working drawings. |

QSFemi: Yes. Provided an engineer is involved and some necessary factor of safety are implemented in design. More so, wind load on a building is highly affected by its surrounding, which may be the shape of nearby buildings, height of buildings or distance of surrounding buildings from the principal building |

EgunMogaji2: Is there no MEP Design drawing for your project . It's good to have furnitures layout during electrical installation. I always requested for this in order to determine the location of sockets, TV position, AC position. It is nice to have furnitures layout during installation. And if there is none, based on tye experience we can determine that on site . 3 Likes |

topsy23: There was an MEP but the General Contractor, me, dropped the ball. I own it because I assumed that my artisans and I were on the same page. They weren’t. Assumption is an unforgiving bitch. It’s my fault, not the architects who provided me with what I paid for = a working drawing, no more no less. 1 Like |

Use your imagination or use Google. The good thing is if, like me, you typically do nothing for the celebration, the bar has been set low already so any little effort is bound to dazzle. Biko, shake bodi, plan sumtin! Small reminder sha - no go use tiling moni or Master’s degree moni buy human hair or iPhone pro max abi na max pro for her o! No do pass yasef!

EgunMogaji2: There’s an entire niche in the Naija construction industry for “finishing.” The builder produces the carcass and moves on, these finishing companies take over from there. They source for tiles, carpentry, electricals, bathroom wares, everything to turn key. Some do “finishing to furnishing,” supplying furnishings and appliances after finishing. They hire young, teachable graduates and train them to understand, visualize, appreciate, what clean finishing means and have those young people micro-manage the Baba Latis. On top of that, someone still keeps an eye on the project. In the end, their service doesn’t come cheap but it’s the price of not being able to supervise yourself. I guess what I’m saying is that really clean finishing takes your sweat/saliva (as you already know) and there are people willing to pay a premium for the kind of results you have been able to achieve. 3 Likes |

dangoteinlaw:But, there are some mistakes we make that we can't see "yet" but others can see, if such others point out such mistakes to us, can it be seen as a crime? E.G if the person buying an investment property (a plot) of land in lekki is not aware that such money will give him an acre of higher value property in yaba, where he can even build more rental properties and earn decent rents yearly, can pointing such out be bad? What if the person buying a Gwagon can really acquire 50 toyota corolla and start an e -hailing company that will give him returns that can buy the Gwagon yearly, if someone pointed him towards that idea, is it bad? Even though we get to make our final choice, we should always try to hear people opinions and filter out thr grains from the waste. The HIGH RISE building man Might have a logical reason for it and the build could have also been out of ignorance which he might come to realize how wasteful the roof is later. Two sides to a coin, before you pick a side, make findings on both sides and logically pick the side you're comfortable with. Good Morning and Happy new month 2 Likes |

Born2conquer:@bolded what if the person leaves the 50 corolla and buys 200 keke maruwa and starts opay or otrike business? I guess you use android phone, why not sell it and buy 20 Nokia torch and phone accessories and start a phone shop? I hope what I'm pointing out is taken in good faith... 1 Like |
