damola311: It depends on what is still left undone! it could be plastering, if not yet done. It could be fixing windows, it could be electricals (if doors and security are in place), It could be tilling, etc. And the Cash at hand is also a factor. |

MrOkenwa: On the issue or BUILD or BUY: Both routes have their inherent advantages and disadvantages and l will list a few below. Build (Advantages) - You are sure of the strength of your foundations - You are certain of the quality of materials used, Iron, Granite, Cement and Sand Combinations so there is rest of mind that you cant have a sudden building collapse. Most Building Collapse are houses built by developers (not all developers are rogue though). - You can play with design and build to your tatse - You can be sure somebody has not buried "something funny" inside your building/foundation. - Size of each compartment, like Kitchen, Master bed and their locatiosn are under your control - You know the history of your house and in future, when issues like Plumbing repairs are necessary, you know where to go directly - You can save on Cost very well, if you know your way around - You dont have to bother with bureaucracy, when it comes to decision making on your house - You can build in quantums, as fund is available Build (Disadvantages) - It is stressful - It requires your personal time, even if you have a Supervisor on Site - It takes a longer time to finish and you may not have the luxury of such time - You get cheated here and there, if you are not conversant with prices and where to get what. - You really cant chose the kind of neighbours you want, except if you are building in an Estate Overall, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. BUYING: Advantages: - No time wasting - Pay and pack-in - You can see the final package, before comitting your funds - You can expect that it will be people of same status, that will be your neighbours Disadvantages: - You cant be sure of the kind of house you are buying - Poor foundation, short-cuts in reinforcement, Concrete Mix, etc are issues that many have come to experience later - You cant build to oyur own taste. Basically, the disadvantages of buying are the OPPOSITE of the advantages of Building, that l stated above. My Opinion: - If you have the Time, BUILD, you cant regret it at the end of the day. You can start and finish within three months, since funds wont be a problem. There are experienced builders here, l can vouch for, even in my sleep. - You can also buy an old house (already in a developed environment in town) and then demolish and rebuild to taste. - If you dont have the time, buy but buy from a reputable Realtor, dont buy in one glorified Estate located in an isolated place (risk of Kidnappers and Robbers!) buy within established towns. - Get an experienced Engineer to do due dilligence on the structural integrity of the House you decide to buy, before payment. As per what to look for in the agreement, - issues like Maintenance fees, - what repairs you can or cant make, can you have your own power-source like Solar or are you forced to rely on the Estates supply? - Can you extend or renovate your house, Can you raise it up by a level in future? - what is the Final Title on your hosue and the land it sits on? - Can you re-sell, if you so wish? - What and What constitutes "Estate Charges" that are mandatory? You may need a smart Lawyer on this aspect but you should also be able to guide that Lawyer on what your own core interests are. I wish you the best. Lastpage! 8 Likes 1 Share |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by cretin: 7:30pm On May 29, 2020 |
so, am planning ahead about building my house, am considering where best to locate the power room cum study in a duplex. i am thinking of having an extra room in the duplex dedicated solely to power/inverter battery installations etc. and the space will also serve as my study. since am not sure yet of the type of battery i would be using, but likely 12 to 16 pieces or equivalent of 12v 200ah fla batteries, wi would think such weight would be better suited on the ground floor, and not subject the decking to the stress of carrying such a dead weight, however,..i would prefer my study to be upstairs, hence my dilenma. so hoping the house can throw useful suggestions on what they think is the best location with reasons. thanks 1 Like |

cretin: good day bro, it's a good thing you are still in the planning phase of your building. brief your structural engineer the same way you brief your architect. most prospective home owners don't realy know the importance of structural designs, they felt it's mainly for building approvals. NO! You can locate your study either up or on the ground floor, all you need to do is make sure you breif your structural engineer about it during the design process ( he can factor your inverter battery load in his design)and make sure all his recommendations are followed to details during construction. disadvantage you may have to spend more on structural members to achieve your aim of having the study room upstair. Good luck! 2 Likes |

![]() ![]() ceelog:Basecoat is the best screeding material. It's stronger, more lasting and isn't affected by water. It doesn't crack also. Screeders don't like using it because it doesn't dry fast. It has to dry for several hours before they apply the finishing coat. It dries by air instead of hydration by gypsum and portland based screeding. 2 Likes |
