if tenant want water, in the absence of electricity the tenant will have to buy his own generator. It is not the landlord's business all the basic amenities has already been provided

l agree with this, l saw the same thing when l visited a friend during my vacation in Nigeria, bore-hole was dug by the Landlord but pumping of water was done by the tenants with their (individual ) generator, they all have separate meters attach to each flat but the owner put an extra meter solely for borehole use and all the tenants share / reload the PHCN card

Demainman1:
Please oga landlords, who provide the generator for water pumping from the borehole in a commercial house? Is it the landlord or the tenants?

If it's the landlord does he also provide the fuel? What about the maintenance of the generator ?

Oga Mavverick any idea?

mufutau55:


Can you show us pic and how much for the cost? Thx.

If (and only if) the landlord is sure of recovering the cost from rents., he can go ahead and provide the generator. But my concern is buying an equipment you cannot monitor it's use since you say the landlord is not living in the compound. Supposing they start using the generator for other services other than the borehole? And they will still want the landlord to repair it. This will also raise the question, who will replace the generator if it packs up?

This may lead to future problems.

To start with, is it a storey building? which I guess it is, please do a 40ft tower. You may have water pressure problem for upper flat(s) with 30ft.

The cost depends on the height and the carrying capacity of the tower. What is the size of "water containers" (tanks) and how many will be balanced on the tower?

With the current price increases N550K may just cut it.

I did over 40ft tower for 4 water tanks for N480K. See pic.

I miss the big English vocabulary

l was warned by BUHARI / OSIBANJO / DONALD TRUMP not to speak nor write big English again or else DSS / FBI / CIA / SECRET SERVICE will come after me and l will be in the cooler for 50 years

mavverick:
This is it, obviously with interlocking in place etc, you cant see the raft in its construction phase, i would need to revisit my archive for that.
Initially, tower cost N450k. Made some modifications to it, which did cost extra N100K or so

kopell:
Guys pls let start doing things differently, these 40 to 80 tail thing is just to crazy in my opinion. Why can't us used portable pressurized pump tank, that one can regulate to what ever pressure as needed. Many of the pressure pumps are automatic that can came up anytime boot up pressure as needed.

diordaves:


So what's the normal water holding capacity of a pressurized pump tank? Will it need electric power to run it just to provide the needed pressure? So you don't normally need to build a tower to use the pressurized pump tank? you just place the tank at ground level and it pumps water to upper flats when required automatically?

The big advantage of water tower is it runs itself using gravity to pump and distribute water where required. You don't need electric power to get pressure; so long as there is water in your tank you are sure of water supply in-house.

Can you dwell more on the mechanism of the pressurized pump tank and possible with pix. All improved building methods and home features are welcome.

FastShipping:


They have these pressure pumps now that are powered by solar.

battleaxe:
I think the issue of pressure pumps was raised some pages back.

One of the major downfalls mentioned was the need to have pipes rated to a particular psi and good workmanship to have been exhibited while joining pipes. With the obviously porous market we have, it is difficult to actually believe the ratings on some of the pipes with the exception of a certain type mentioned which I can't remember.... it was more expensive.

If you have poor workmanship and you use a pressure pump, then prepare to scoop water from your house.

Trust you are good.

So here is what I did, I had the borehole on a separate circuit (dedicated 3 ping plug for borehole) and deliberately made it a plug type. I will tell you why, by default the plug is supplied by NEPA light, however in cases where there is no light for days etc, since its plug any good Samaritan tenant can bring his/her own Gen to power the borehole, its a plug so its plug and play. And if they choose not to do that, they are on thier own.

I just provided this, along with electric meter where the borehole/security lights/security house/power house bulbs are connected to. This meter is topped up by money paid by the tenants for service charge, I keep all records in my spreadsheet and keep all receipts also, the law in Lagos state requires that when service charge is being collected, you need to give a statement of account every 6 months.

I had Gen on site during construction, after house opening my Gen gets re-deployed to another site or form part of my Gen backup. Its not a serviced apartment, and about 25 odd years ago (then big gens were the norm, small gens were not so popular then and NEPA wasn't this bad), we had this shared gen stuff with tenants and it was beset with problems (diesel scarcity then, repairs, when it comes on and off etc), so i learnt from that and said NO way am i following that school of thought.

I hope this helps.

4×5= 30,000

4×6= 35,000

Should i go for it or look else where?

Ojebe:


Someone should plz attend to my case plz.

EgunMogaji:


Get two local quotes as a guide.

I didn't piecemeal my windows and just got quoted as a whole.

euromilion:


Bros it's interesting that you brought up the issues of service charges.i've a quick question,in a situation where every tenants paid their service charge except for one,two or three tenants refused/don't to pay,how do you tackle that?.

back2sender:
Tutorials needed here my people in the house, want to learn a thing or two here.
Can one cast the pillars after block setting to lintel level of an upper floor first before doing the chain beam or can one cast the pillar and the chain beam TOGATHER after block Setting to lintel level.
Thank you

mavverick:
So in the tenancy agreement, its usually stated that service charge needs to be paid etc. If one refuses to pay, my view is that they should not enjoy the services that the service charge covers, so for example if they drive car security should not open gate for them (they are however free to use the aboki well next door), can't use communal bin, water might be disconnected because its the service charge money that is being used to operate the pumping machine etc. The above are just my views, I have not had a case like this, but payment should be strongly encouraged.

Perhaps our learned lawyers can chip in here or experienced landlords like Haji/Gabbytabby et all.

In another building, when we noticed that tenants were not serious about taking on a guard, it was converted to a shop. We have no time for nonsense, if we didnt do that before you know it, tenants will start putting belongings inside mai-guard house or even put thier brother there self.

Are they planning to increase the price of cement again?
