Dear architects on here, please a request. I have a narrow plot of 28ft by 92ft and I am wondering if a befitting house can be built on such a plot and I don't feel clustered or chocked within the space. Is it possible to achieve this with a reasonable set back on one side for external passage? Or I just look for a more square plot to build on? Its for a family of 6 occupants. Looking forward to your thoughts. |

ceelog: 28ft is 8.5m 92 is 28m The breadth is the issue here. If you must build at all, then consider 2 storey building (a building of two floors) Comfortability: however the design might be, you need setbacks for each side and it shouldn't be less than 1m. Well, it's possible to have a nice abode on the piece of land. You can consult us at OAKGroup for something appreciative. +2348108408732 1 Like |

EgunMogaji2:/ The so-called pros price their market way out of reach that you wonder if there is no standard pricing algorithm for their works. I have seen Topsy's handiwork and use it as a standard because of his attention to details and neatness of his work. But can you say that about many others? It is sad paying someone to come and do shoddy jobs at a site. Sometimes if you DIY the project, the outcome may be better than what's obtainable from the so-called pros. Nigeria is where you pay someone to do a job, then you will make out your own time to supervise them to ensure that they do it right. / 5 Likes |

Thank you for your advice. It is a bungalow. No we didn't do German flooring. We did chain lintel. Most of the cracks are coming from down and going up although some are start at the middle. I also noticed that some of the cracks are from the windows we blocked. diordaves: |

Yes are are works involved hitting and breaking if some areas in the house. Plus, some cracks comes from the blocked windows and some come from the ground up. Aforxzy: |

InvertedHammer: Good pros that know what to do , don’t come cheap , not saying they should be expensive also . The most painful thing will be paying top money and getting a crappy work done . We all love deals and saving money but there is a limit and balance I personally try to get pros to do all my work after all due diligence, because of the nature of my builds . I go for pros that are reasonable and are on there way up, that have requisite experience not old and established . Most of the guys I use ,including Topsy falls into that category . Been lucky with the guys/pros I use so far . They have given advice way beyond the scope they are handling that has saved me money in other areas . |

rmx:/ You are just lucky. Do you know how many "pros" one has to go through to get to the real pros? Everyone is a pro until it comes down to doing the real work. Most times you are just paying for manpower because some of them lack basic common sense to get things done right. And I mean something as simple as keeping a line straight. / 5 Likes |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by michlins(m): 3:20pm On Feb 04, 2022 |
mufutau55:the difference is basically on the quality of materials to be used. 2.5mm pan is stronger and better but in my opinion, it's not needed. 2mm will do just a fine job. |
