[quote author=kopell post=92718900][/quote]is this supposed to be open gate of closed one. Attached is a picture of something I call an open gate And about your gate, the position of the door is wrong. It should be close to the center pillar. In fact they usually share the same pillar. If you look at one of the pictures I shared, you will see the position of the smaller gate. That's where you place them. Nice concept you have there though. I believe that the last photo has some resemblance to your concept

Oga mi I beg, no vex with my comments o. I like your work and I want to see you succeed. Thank you. Note: Is this not your old thread opened in 2017 below? Why didn't you reference people to it?

KolaShangOne: Regular external ceiling: All good for sit outs. For Eaves: Only if the fascia drops below the level of the eaves. But if it is a clear cut angle like below, you should opt for cement board instead

coldcandy: Am Sorry but American steel doors are wrapped problem. I don't like that door for anything, I prefer local iron doors to American steel even wooden door better pass that door. 1. It can just lock on its accord 2. It has its own special Installer 3. Its very lightweight 4. Spoils easily 5. Very fragile 6. Is too cheap However, discretion is advised.

Abolarin91: Yes, you can and in a state like Lagos state, you need to be double-sure before you buy. Don’t buy any land or property because it’s cheap! In 2011, a client contracted us to conduct a geotechnical soil test on a plot of land in Ogombo, Lagos state. After spending over a million on the test, he ended not buying the land. One of my ogas here called it “Spending thousands to save millions.” Ogombo Soil Test: https://www.nairaland.com/687022/building-luxury-block-flats-day-to-day/22#up Invest wisely. Just last weekend, I was at a site in Badore and we were discussing the 4th Mainland Bridge Project and I can hear some people praying and wishing the project won’t happen. https://www.nairaland.com/3129752/4th-mainland-bridge-houses-demolished It’s Well!

Oliran: You are very much in order coz I have done this before. In fact the experience was something else I must say. We actually stopped at the tax part for now till my client is around... Because they were trying to make him pay for tax here while he has already submitted his tax clearance from abroad where they base. You can imagine one being taxed 1.5m for Duplex and rentable flat after showing tax clearance from his country of residence. I wrote letters to appeal that, yet the district head kept replying me with the same memo. Just changing dates. 2 Likes |

Thenext:I was told to pay ₦750,000 as well. The benchmark for development permit on the LIRS template is ₦750k for approval. A client was billed ₦5,000,000 as tax for a construction in VI. They use the value of land in the location as a measurement yardstick. Even if you pay your P.A.Y.E to LIRS annually, you'll still be asked to pay property tax to get approval. They tell you P.A.Y.E is different. Even if the property is in Epe and you bought the land for ₦300,000 when you want approval, LIRS would still charge ₦750k. A lot of people stopped the process at the tax level and don't follow up. LASG is using this to discourage potential developers. They gave most Agencies and Ministries target, which is why they're desperate and bill Nigerians any how 3 Likes |

sconp:Good morning, when you've started building the architectural drawings and Structural drawings won't be titled PROPOSED, the title will be "AS-BUILT UNDER CONSTRUCTION" or AS-BUILT when the structure is at finishes stage. The implication of AS-BUILT is a penal fee is calculated for you. Penal fee for constructing before having Development Permit. 1 Like |

Dennis3D: 1.5m for a duplex and flat. Waoh, that's on the high side. Most people don't go beyond tax, they just hold on to their registration number. Try writing a letter officially to LIRS and attach your client's tax clearance |

n3xt: Wichtech is still the best. People are not using Wichtech only because of the poverty level in this country. Nothing more. Wichtech attend Tilcor stated making Nigeria grades because they know wer can't afford the "original" because of poverty. Every company that intends to compete in Nigeria must lower their quality to maintain a price that we Nigerians, the poorest people in the world, can afford. 2 Likes |

KolaShangOne: Before they started making Nigeria grades, their agents were recommending other products to customers in order not to lose business. To be candid, will I recommend Wichtech to a man building in Olomi, Oyo State because it’s the best? No! The owner of Browne Mews project used Nigerite roofing on his build and his reason is simply because he wanted something with superior insulation and that can absorb sound which metal sheets can never achieve no matter how aesthetically pleasing it looks. The project is sold out. He has recouped his investment within the shortest time possible. That’s the ultimate! Homeowners needs to be aware of things that needs to be quality upfront. That’s why I’m always clear about must-haves and nice-to-haves features. A $300 brushed-nickel smart door lock is better than a N3,000 door lock. For me, it’s just a nice-to-have feature. A N3,000 door lock will do the same job. Lock the door. #thatsjustme 1 Like

Wichtech were on these two projects but I ended up using Wichtech on one and other brand on the other. Which one is Wichtech? The two builds are almost eight years old now.

kopell: The drawings they submit to get approval is most times different from their working drawings. Someone who has the intention of building 4bedroom flat, gate house and shops will make submission of just 3 bedroom apartment. The standard residential airspaces and setback is 6m setback at the front, and 3m on all other sides while for commercial is 9m at the front and 6m on all other sides. |
