Building design and construction is about field experience and science of construction. I want to say this here. Clients should try as much as possible to engage the right hands on building because it's an expensive venture of which when the wrong things are done, regrets are weigh to many to bear.

If not for the group rules I would rather use pictures to always explain my points where necessary. I have been opportune to be in the building industry for over 5yrs now with 5 ongoing projects this year and currently working on.

Having done these types of foundation this year alone, I have a deep knowledge of what and what you need to know when building. It's good to have seen good guys who have good stuff to offer in the thread too. It's a good thing for us all.

Am happy to state here too that I have been working for two Nairalanders this year and am still on their project. Duplex all.

Feel free to quote or ask me questions where you need clarification on the building and construction industry. You are always welcomed. I have done building on these areas.

- Hard Soil - Pad and strip foundation
- Loose Soil - Raft Foundation
- Very swampy Soil - Composite foundation of Pad, Strip and Raft combined.

And so much more. My profile would show you most of my works listed here. If only admins permit I would use pictures to explain your questions when they come.

Thanks for your time.

See how u are flooding this thread with advert. U registered your id just last year, if everyone had advertised in this manner, this thread would have long been forgotten. The sanity in this thread is as a result of zero tolerance for advert.

Often times i wonder if u people can't adhere to simple rules on a public platform where u source for clients, how will u now adhere to complicated specifications on site where u are alone & in charge...

What is rude in me stating my observation about an advert? Pin-point the rude part of my statement and let others judge.
Did the person l addressed it to say l was rude to him? Which one is your own or you just wan blow grammar?

You better stay on your lane and dont derail this thread, abeg.

It depends on what he wants to use it for and also how busy the road is.

He intends to use it for residential purpose. It's located off the main road. So would you say it's ok? It's the geometry of the plot that I personally don't like.

Now that's why you need a professional and experienced architect to design something that would change your view over the land. As far as am concerned. What am seeing can enter Duplex with very good car park spaces and recreational areas.

I have worked on more irregular shaped land and have done well in them.

The records are there to see.

My view is that if a regular-shaped plot is available, why go with that odd one? sincerely, would you put your money on that land?? Just questions that I would like answered.

Cost - they often come cheaper if properly negotiated
Value - you will likely get better value per sqm
Location
Uniqueness - rare opportunity to erect a non-conventional structure
Availability - your view has a big "IF". On the other hand, if it is a prime/location of choice and not many plots available, then sure you may have to grab what is available provided it works for you.

This irregularly shaped plot is exactly some client/architect's dream. Like @Dennis3D already mentioned, a good architect will turn this around into a dream structure. for example you can tuck in a pool or playground into that smaller corner.

Alright thank you for your insight. Without doubt you would put your money down for such plot located in a fast-developing neighborhood. I would tell him. grin

I love to write with facts and figures and more practical.
Like I said before I just went through my phone archive now to bring out a client from Nairaland here too that have a similar shape of land. I was able to design a Duplex on it and as we speak am currently doing the construction too in Gbagada Lagos state on Pile.

Am in PH currently. And am doing exactly this type of foundation for a one storey am building. You might want to contact me from my details below for more information.

PH Soil bearing capacity is not too strong so in this area. New GRA. I used an isolated Pad with Ground Beam to carry the block works. Other details of construction can be shared with any client that have a similar soil.

That's my point- land utility would be low, as you have in your design. He intends to build a main building and a boys-quarters but such land would not permit that.
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Dennis3D(m): 8:03am On Jul 28, 2018
If he is ready. Let's start up with the design.
