some guys visited my site that they are from Lagos state government threatening to put a stop to the ongoing work on my site in Ajah axis unless I pay them 200k. I am wondering if anyone have had such encounter. Attached are the papers they served my project manager.
majority of people undergoing building physical development encounter this people, they are from lagos government building development agency, that oversee construction projects in Lagos, for professional erect buildings, the best opinion is for you to call the numbers on the papers they serve you, you can sort it out with them, they can collect from you not up that that amount if you take it cool with them.

I think a couple of persons do that in anticipation of a fire incident.
Kindly ask your mum and engineer their reasons as well.
If its for the obvious reason kindly get fire extinguishers positioned at strategic points within the building. Try installing some form of over head sprinkler system before the actual decking.

Installing Sprinkler might be expensive for a bungalow. Stand alone battery operated heat detector should be installed and also fire extinguisher.

Yea. But if he can get a plumber or engineer who can be creative it can be done within economical limits. It's just for the kitchen.

Key word "economical limits." common sense
Value to return on investment
People just like to talk, talk
We mange risk , we can't prevent all risk
Kitchen fire, deck the kitchen, POP, steel doors,fire extinguisher.
We talking about bungalow not 10 floor building
Nonsense
Sprinkler system may fail

My point is people need to use their head
think smart
Do we have 24/7 electricity to manage a Sprinkler system?
we have to look at our environment and know what will work best
Not because their is a technology out there, that it must be used

I'm sure you understand the principle behind the sprinkler system.
What I'm proposing does not need electricity for it to function or be operational.
Everything needed is within our environment.
You only need a Mechanical Engineer or plumber or anyone who is creative to figure it out.
Knowledge is applied not copy and paste .

In building plan designs, what does cross-ventilation mean?

I thought I knew what it was , then spoke with two different " Architects " and they gave me 2 different explanations.

They got me so confused that I have even forgotten what I previously knew about it.

Guess what? when you apply knowledge lot of time you are coping
We apply knowledge,
We copy knowledge, and technology
and we make some changes to knowledge, and technology to fit our environment
I had a job i just paid $5K, before the contractor did the work
I had to introduce my own change to address future problem, meaning thinking out of the box
Most house in Canada or USA doesn't have a sprinkler system

I don't understand the reason behind the bold......
Your thinking outside the box is not a creation. It's doing something with available resources/materials to fit your usage. It's all the same copy of knowledge.
Well it all depends on which area those houses are. And most probably they are more than 100 years old.
I'm sure there are new building codes that specifies the installation of a sprinkler system which depends largely on the type of house.

Most house in Canada or USA doesn't have a sprinkler system -- New houses single family

single family houses ? NO
We did talk about sprinkler system here in the past
Use your head
Think cost
Think return on investment
think how it fit into environment
"I'm sure there are new building codes that specifies " BE SURE
WHY i KNOW BETTER
I DO INSTALL CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM OM MY INTEREST
COST IS NOT AN ISSUE

IT IS NO A STATE OR CITY CODE
