A well written piece of valuable Information with nice sketches to back them up. This is the most economical and practical solution to the problem.
Its actually practical Sir, but not economical (thou relative) in the sense that you need a deep foundation to achieve this.

Diversion of attention. What about our questions and burst up on your fraudulent pichtures where you dig up building from the net and consistently ask for solution which you will never impliment . Funny .

So predictable
Just what I expected you to do, like I said during the downpour I had no issues with flooding at all. Did my neighbours have issues, the answer is yes.

its nearly a year since we parted ways and trust me a lot has changed in one year. Next time it rains remind me to send you a photo. The chat was intended to serve the purpose which it has and it just proves that as usual you are still hurting grin

if I ever had issue on site, is it you I will be asking ? SMH





n3xt:



This is attention seeking in the attached chat msg. Living a double standard. Your piece above will make a good point without necessarily attaching the first paragraph.

Maybe you want to share how effective Sandfilling at the right time helped you secure your structures built by NextHome despite building below flood level and less than 1.5m from government canal.

And some people will sit down there taking solace in your comforting words while you're busing fixing your own build behind the clouds. SMH!

My top three wasteful build/design concept in rental properties in Nigeria:

3. Wall lamps

2. "Parapet"

1. Mortar use during block setting

Parapet and mortar use have been debated a lot here so can I ask why in Nigeria do we install all round wall lamps? It's not uncommon to see in Nigeria an average living room with 8 lamp points: three wall lamp points in the parlour and one lamp point at the middle of the ceiling, three lamp points in the dinning area and one lamp point in the middle. In the rooms; five lamp points each. Just one lamp point at the middle is enough. One can use reading lamp or bed lamp if so desired. All round wall lamps don't add any rental income whatsoever.

This practice is very wasteful as one can save easily about 70% in pipping and wiring cost if just one lamp/bulb point is adopted in the middle of the room as is the standard practice here in the UK. See pic below, no wall lamps but still well presented living area.

What's your top three wasteful practice anyone?


gabbytabby:
A majority dont put their financial hat on and get sentimental unecessarily. I am guilty of this but as I see how houses get treated by tenants the functional and necessary becomes a focus and keeping build cost down to well below 20m for a build of 6 units of 2 beds is now achievable.


I don't know if this issue has been addressed, pardon me if it has. Of what use is the water collector on the roof aside from aesthetics? I live in a house with one and still do not see the essence when it rains. It prevents the heavy flow from hitting the ground directly? When it's not as if the water is channelled to a tank or container for future use. The water still gets to the ground anyway . Is it wise to use it on a rental property? Does it add any rental value?

There are several things a man or woman can't change or fake for long. Two quick ones that come to mind

1. The way the walk (or simply their gait)
2. The way they talk (not accent o, but words and structure of sentences be it written or oral)

I don't think a basement is practical in this context. You wanna be going up not down...

This is good!

I've seen basement, underground reservoirs, house built on stilts, stormwater drainages, raised floors, ramp.
Is there any more design consideration?

Let's keep it coming.

The basement windows will be 1m above flood level.

Floods can rise as high as 1-2m above ground level, if your basement window is 1m above that level, that implies the window will be atleast 2m above ground . That's even higher than regular window level.
Or Did you mean ground level ?@ bolded

baba, its not a waste of money if the water were channelled to a tank for use. Many do that to reduce the amount of water touching their building below and that's why u see most houses with tiles or granite below their building.

Such a funny guy
when was the last time I asked you any question ?
The other day I posted a question here, you challanged me why I didn't ask you after abdulwastec answered the question. I guess its some kind of jealousy.

when I ask you questions, it should be seen as some kind of blessing. After all I gave you how many clients and how many of them are you in good terms with today or have good things to say about the work you did ?
I rest my case ..
