Make the burglary in one or both of the rooms an openable one. Make sure that all occupants from toddler age can open it easily. I have one in my BQ and my then 3 year old can open it.

We discussed various types of openable burglaries some hundreds of pages back, maybe a search will bring it back. Fire is real in Nigeria, very real and we're on our own mostly.

Good luck.
Please can we get pictures or link(s) on how this type of burglary is designed? Thanks in advance

Call Us For Your Land And Engineering Surveying

We are professional surveyor Call us for ur land and civil engineering survey anywhere in Nigeria.

Surveying or land surveying is the technique, profession, art and science of determining the terrestrial or three-dimensional positions of points and the distances and angles between them. A land surveying professional is called a land surveyor. These points are usually on the surface of the Earth, and they are often used to establish maps and boundaries for ownership, locations, such as building corners or the surface location of subsurface features, or other purposes required by government or civil law, such as property sales.
Surveying also includes the technique of establishing points by predetermined angular and linear measurements. From the plans, sections, and maps prepared by surveying, the area and volume of a particular plot of land can be calculated. A map represents the horizontal projection of the area surveyed and not the actual area. But the vertical distance can be represented more correctly by drawing sections.

During a survey, we use various tools to do our job successfully and accurately, such as total stations, GPS receivers, prisms, 3D scanners, radio communicators, digital levels, dumpy level and surveying software etc

Adedipupo aka Kkconsult, don't you think it will be more credible for you and what you represent on this platform to deliver on the services you have been paid for.

Why would you take 250k for engineering drawings and disappear without picking your calls for over one month? I won't consider this fraud yet until you refuse to revert within the next week.

Demolish it and build it right immediately... It might not be the owners fault but his inexperienced workers....

Key word... Build it the right way immediately.

I think the bricklayer did not understand the instructions given to him by the land owner and he was not supervised. the mistake must have come from the bricklayer

Good evening to you properly landers.

Please, I want to know more about paraphet.

I saw an old thread where someone said water leaks into her walls whenever it rains despite having a parapet. Please, is it true that parapet could cause water to leak into the walls whenever it rains?

Also, I saw someone asked about the cost and durability of the different types of parapet.

Please, can someone elaborate on the different types of parapet and the advantages and disadvantages of each?

Plus every other detail one should know about this parapet stuff

Advantage: trendy
Disadvantage: severe wall soaking (in most cases)


Verdict: I will pass if I am using aluminium roofings otherwise....

[quote author=Facelessforum post=91282951]

I think the photos will help your builder fix your parapet issues. You are supposed to put Aluminum cap on the parapet roof, that way you stop the soaking walls. Just did mine and it worked.

That is exactly what I was saying. Look at how the Toilet is positioned to be used by Guest and the Occupant.
And still the people sitying in the Livingroom does not see the Toilet. Good plan.

And YES, if that is how the owner wants it, you have no choice o. Agreed.

Will post the one I did too this morning.
Let me fish it out from my archive. Rotecch77 is in order.

Unless a client insist, then this option is the best.

See attached below the mini flat floor plan of this project here.

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Dennis3D(m): 1:10am On Jul 02, 2020
Salliet:




I have taken contributions from my esteemed Engineering personel here and modified the layout.

Hints:
1. Put both toilets together for piping/evacuation ease.
2. Maintain the balcony for cloth hanger or inverter batteries or AC outdoor unit etc.

3. Position of kitchen to improve cross ventilation.

4. Visitor's toilet door was too close to bedroom door in the previous design.

5. The bedroom windows were previously split into two separate 600mm but now combined to a single 1200mm window.

6. Introduced a little shoot out by the kitchen, to make the 2storey building look a bit stylish than being just flat and bland.


7. Most importantly, with the same perimeter of a given space, the closer the space is to being a square the more the area created. Hence most of the spaces are square in nature.

What I mean is:

Length : breadth: Area : Perimeter

L : B : P : A
7 : 1 : 16 : 07
6 : 2 : 16 : 12
5 : 3 : 16 : 15
4 : 4 : 16 : 16


One drawback is that, there will be a visible tie beam in the kitchen. That could be concealed with pop though.

Kindly look into

Hello,
Pls find my screenshot below and let me discus a few things. Firstly, the window in the living room can be expanded to 1.2m minimum at least by 1.2m that's 4fit x 4fit. As indicated by the yellow line below.

I can see two different entrance door. One from the staircase area and one leading to the living room. Now where I need more clarifications is the window on the same wall with living room what's it for if the double swing door coming from the staircase area is there. Unless that place is an open terrace, that window wouldn't work.

Look at the wall of the bedroom and the proposed kitchen. Kindly make it entirely straight to the bedroom. That recess is not ideal. If you want an ideal recess that can give you a good shape. Look at from 450mm to 900mm recess. That 225mm is not ideal. Rather in building setting out and foundation stage, an inexperienced person can miss it.

If I find anything else I might need to highlight. I will do so. Remember, this is my opinion and suggestions from the little I know. Thanks and good luck

There’s no more asbestos in the market. Even Nigeria banned it years ago. It’s just that the colloquial name stuck.

Try to do POP for the simple reason that it’s alleged to be fire retardent.

Personally, I wouldn’t let this stand. Get a bricklayer to correct it. Now, how sure are you that the marker wasn’t just moved?
