Thanks

Saw this construction

They started the piling immediately after the lockdown in May and now roofing.

After the piling and ground slab, instead of setting blocks, they did columns and beams, decked, moved to the upper floor, no setting of blocks, just columns and beams, now about to roof.

Is this really okay?

lol

Please don't ask this question outside oooh..

THIS IS THE STANDARD WAY OF CONSTRUCTION (also the standard way BOQ is arranged)..

Na money dey make man lay block b4 beams ooh..

It very okay.
It's a framed structure where all the structural members are constructed before partitioning. In this method of construction the walls are non load bearing unlike the other types where the wall are load bearing.

The partitions can be altered without affecting the structural members.

oga you have insulted me enough your number is the one you blocked me or what pls believe me am only doing this for the respect of this forum if not I wouldn't have been disturbing myself or the peace of people here because of tank your brother or friend brok that you are accuse me of because i know fully you have done your mind or wors by posting what you posted on my thread but if you feel that am what you called me then my address or shop number is with you direct the person to come and meet me , or send any available person you get over there to waybill the one they break I have I agreed to change it okay and I beg you stop insult me okay

cc: boyestic:

ARE WE STILL ON THIS CASE ?

Here's my advice - WORSE THINGS HAPPEN IN LIFE.... their is absolutely no need for the insults and name calling on this thread.

YOU BOTH (with due respect) should act more maturely and resolve.

my suggestions: BOTH PARTY SHOULD PAY A PART OF THE PRICE.

Dframe - there is no need to replace the good; just send his money to him, what if you send a replacement and it gets broken in transit again, would you bare the lose again?

Boye - Kindly take a part to help his business - you can pay an amount that covers transport, or how much a broken system could be or just ask for (say) 70-80% refund...

ANY1 CAN BE IN THIS SITUATION....

I paid a carpenter 100k to do a job for me months back - and his nos suddenly became unreachable ( I assumed I've lost my money) - months later I got a call from him saying he was sick and under went a surgery... he asked about the job, I told him I've done it.... weeks later, I called him to take 20k (which was his workmanship) and return the 80k which was for materials..


NOBODY DIE OOH

Thank you sir for your concern.

We keep learning everyday.

This is another B2B abi B2C logistics/supply management issue and something I mentioned last week.

Having a business is never enough in Nigeria, you need to also learn all the intricacies.
Unfortunately government ain’t doing well enough in protecting her citizens. They’re only interested in milking Nigerians without providing any value in return. I don’t think it’ll cost CAC anything huge to provide every business owners an handbook on this (digital or otherwise).
Today, anyone with a mobile phone and an account on Jiji is a businessman.

Thank God you didn’t run into the hand of kidnappers. It’s tough doing online business with unverified contacts. You need to do a lot more to protect yourself and whatever happen in between

Again, this is one area we aren’t getting it right in Nigeria.

Consumer Protection = 0
Suppliers right = 0

We need better legislation on electronic communications and transactions that protect consumers/suppliers alike and also ensure that a proper process is followed by suppliers and purchasers when goods are bought, transactions are cancelled and items returned.

It’s not enough to be firing missiles after every failed transactions. We need to learn and understand how to protect ourselves.

For consumers/purchasers, before purchasing any expensive/cheap/fragile item online, or something that you are a bit unsure about, make sure that you familiarise yourself with the supplier’s terms and conditions and refund policy before making your purchase.

Don’t always be in a rush!

For suppliers, not all that glitters are gold in a faceless world. I’ve been engaged to build 2 house by a man who have just N3.5m in his account. Guess what, he drives a N50m car.
Thank God, I wasn’t gullible to deliver all the materials used for the project to the Client’s site. I made arrangement to drop the materials at a location near the site.
I also made the customer understand that I reserve the right of disposal of the goods until certain conditions are fulfilled.
I didn’t waste time to sell off the materials when the agreement was breached.

For suppliers, always exercise lien and retain possession of the goods, until full payment of the agreed price.

Do everything and anything you can to protect yourself and your business!

shortgun:

Don't connect the water supply through the parapet...this will not increase water pressure rather it will decrease it.
There will be no enough head.The best solution is to use weight of the water from d water tank to drive pressure.....as the water descends from the tank it will gain pressure to push up.

many thanks for your advice. i will consider this proposal.

Johntemmy:



Don't mind him bro.


meanwhile you can contact me for your roofing woods and materials at affordable prices.

too late bro. wood work is contracted already but we can discuss roofing materials subsequently.

coldcandy:
It will work perfectly except for ease of maintenance. You will be climbing the stanchion anytime you want to cut off supply to the upper floor.

thanks! very interesting perspective. not sure one should be climbing that high to disconnect water for maintenance.

coldcandy:
On the contrary, there will be lower head due to friction losses in the longer pipe length and several bends.

thank you but what do you advise please? would not want to do something that will require us to start breaking the walls all over again. so it is better to get it right once and for all. plastering starts today.

jabolo:


Correct. This is the only issue. Utility and maintenance.

Water pressure is determined by difference in height between the tank and point of use so doesn't matter if the pipe runs via the ground floor first but any longer pipe run will involve more losses.

than you for your contribution.

earthrealm:


so who is correct btw these 2 gentlemen, has anyone tried this parapet approach?. the conventional method has always being coming from the ground up, and if your tank is at least 10ft above the parapet, you would have good pressure everywhere. from my lil understanding of physics/hydraulics, this ground/conventional method will deliver more pressure than the high/parapet method..

i am waiting patiently too for someone to bridge these two perspectives. it looks like the solution is subjective, but im tending towards 'ground-up' approach since everyone seems to agree there'll be no pressure problem with this approach. will ensure the tank is high enough.

the lobby space between the dinning and the kitchen can be used as store.

the lobby space between the dinning and the kitchen can be used as store.

Exactly my observation. I wonder how people design/manage homes without a store or even extra space for keeping certain things. To me, I would rather not have a dinning or all these ante rooms but must have a storeroom.

Greetings!

I’ve tried composing a reply to this post many times and I keep deleting it cos it’s too long.

Pls can I ask these questions?

1. What’s the purpose of those staircase on the plan? And why 2?

2. I can see you’re trying to use the wall in the passage as a privacy wall. Have you considered other options that can help improve lighting condition in the house?
For me, I might want introduce slat or other room divider materials in that area to screen off the living area while throwing light into the zone.

Pic 1: Slat
Pic 2: Wood Divider
Pic 3: Lasercut Decorative Screen Partition

3. Can you try introduce a second window in the 3rd room?

Let me stop here for now.

This is the ground floor plan. I havent spoken with the architect to explain the staircase, I myself dont understand the staircase direction or why two. I made only initial deposit so he only released the two attached pics, so I havent seen the 1st floor plan

Is there a way to have an open staircase, rather than this closed one?

I get it now.

I think he’s trying to do something close to the attached design. Although it’s a cutout from a 6 unit of 2 bed design.

One staircase should be fine and he should introduce the 3rd bedroom in the space used for the 2nd staircase beside the kitchen.

Pic 1: 2 bed floor plan (upper floor)
Pic 2&3: 3D Model

A closed staircase is necessary for security of the upper floor. If compulsory, you can add a spiral staircase at the back of the building for the kitchen.

I have got a question oh... almost all the new build both commercial and private.. people tile tile every where some even tile exterior of the house join.

My question is, do people factor in how the weight of the tiles increases the steady load the house is carrying and tiles could weigh a ton.

Do structural engineers accommodate this during the design stages of the house or people assume ehn ehn the house is strong?

Just curious.

Ok thanks. Good to know.

Hello.

How much should I expect to pay for 5’x4’ casement windows using tower products?

Also is there a price difference between 5’x4’ and 4’x4’?

Thanks.

There is an abrakadabra in the staircase, one will serve the purpose according to the elevation.
Perhaps, the architect wants you to pay complete before he give you the main design, architect experience a lot from clients .

Meanwhile, if you need electric fence-wire or barb wire, you can contact me. Check my signature for previous work and contact details.

Sir, are spiral staircases still allowed as emergency exist in modern designs??

Good evening everyone. Please what is the normal percent service charge I'm to pay the civil engineer supervising the building? He is requesting for 35% of total labor charge which equates to #340550. For foundation to roofing of a 3 bedroom bungalow.

The final decision is yours.
As for me, I piped down bfor going up not because of pressure issues but for ease of maintenance.

mobileboy:
After measurements of the land I intend to buy we notice it's 40 by 60 even though the seller initially said it's half plot but said he doesn't know the exact measurements

The price is been reviewed downward, should I proceed with buying it or the land is too small to build anything

If it's not too small what can I build on it?
It's going to be a single story building

2 units of two bedroom flat downstair - same upstair?
One 3 bedroom and one 2 bedroom downstairs - same upstairs?
One 2 bedroom and 1 self contain?


I want to maximize the land to the fullest to justify the price

I intend living there and renting out others to recover some of the money spent

Note: land is in Lagos

if is your personal house you do not need big space a good arch like darenyx will giv you something sweet.
