Youoareofoolish:


these roofs that are reaching heaven are waste of free open upward space, resources and also useable space. tufia!

Good morning.

Your question should be what is the building dimensions and what's the roof height and not the approach you deploy here in your critics when you are clearly not the client who understands and has his preference.

Subsequently, deploy constructive criticism in a public forum so one doesn't sound utterly biased.

Have a nice Day

The first issue is how the 5000 was arrived at does it include foundation? How many bedrooms. The 5000 blocks looks like a lot for a floor.

At sango otta between 7k to 8k per 90 9" blocks or 100 6" blocks should suffice.

My location is Sango otta.
If you say it shouldn't be counted per block. What measure should you use to cos I feel that is cheaper. I want to continue the bricklayer, just want to negotiate a fair deal with him except he doesn't agree to it.

Good design only issue I find is the guest room if designed for your guest then the door is better situated in your living room side but if its for your domestic it's perfect.

Hi everyone!
Thanks to everyone contributing to the page!

So, I have an issue. Lagos State Building Control Agency have recently painted my site's fence to stop work and call a number written on the paper left behind.

I wanted to know how to get this guy off my back.

Any advice, please?
weren't you expecting them already, I'm sure you know damn well in Lagos you can't just build whatever you want without following due process, I'm sure someone told you it's a minor issue that can be bribed off but that was then bro. Just pray the penalty fees isn't more than 700k depending on what codes were broken but be ready to free up 500k at least. Anyways When you want to do your drawings or survey you can lemme know.

Aside from this money, is it standard practice to pay for carry blocks separately from the ground floor to the first floor or it is all inclusive. My bricklayer said 20naira/block asides 4500 for bricklayer and 3000 for labourer

At the barest Minimum, one Bricklayer lays 100Blocks per day and get paid per daily work ( Two bricklayers (200 Blocks, paid #5,000 each) and One Laborer serving both of them, paid #3,000) ... but even that one is still undesirable.
A hardworking Bricklayer like the guy l mentioned, at times does over 250Blocks in a day for me and that means l have to pay him around #14,000 in one day, but he deserves his pay, as long as he is doing the job.

I negotiate (in my head) at the rate of #50 per block, for small jobs and #40 per block for large jobs as yours, for guidance. So, since l know it is around 5,000 blocks, l multiply it out and then negotiate with the bricklayer based on the value l already have in my head.
All in all, be fair to a good worker or Bricklayer.

That Bricklayer lives in Agege/Iyana Ipaja axis.

So, I have an issue. Lagos State Building Control Agency have recently painted my site's fence to stop work and call a number written on the paper left behind.

Any advice, please?

First of all, were you or any other person on site to receive the letter? If yes, they would have explained where you defaulted and also it will reflect on the letter they brought.

It is a usual practice for them to serve letter randomly to sites especially when no one is there, because it is also their duty to ensure that what you are building is what is on plan and what is approved. If nobody is there to defend that they will serve you a letter asking you to stop work.

How to go about it
Check the letter served and see, if it is based on approval (which is most likely) you have the option of seeking an as-built approval or on-going approval (With penal fee), that is if you don’t have an approved design or you have made any modification whosoever on site from what is on the drawing.
