nannymcphee: Not a bad design though in terms of the flow but I think it should be better arranged to maximize lighting and air flow into the spaces especially the bedrooms. Also, you might introduce a few columns to give more structural stability. Cheers |

As an engineer, no matter how strong and special a block is, it can't serve the purpose of a column (pillar). Column have both tensile and compressive strength while block has just compressive strength. Apart from transferring the load of the building to the foundation, a strong concrete column (pillar) prevent the movement of building cracks at the joint of the building. I will strongly advise you to use column where necessary, n3xt: 2 Likes |

Few weeks ago, someone asked me “Why do we need another platform when we already have one? I replied “We are building a platform that offers more - better resources, tools and access verified product/service providers.” I can’t be comfortable coming here everyday to read “How many bags of cement can I use to cast my foundation?” when we can actually build an online calculator for it. We will achieve more if we focus on vision rather than competition. ~ Brabus This morning, we present to you another online tool from kobocity community - Cement Concrete Calculator Do check it out!

This is not true, but when it comes to durability both are good, casting is better. But precast is more economical. Casting involves the work of bricklayer, iron bender and carpenter; that means you will pay them differently. This is not so when it comes to precast. Go for precast and save money, instruct your engineer to supervise them in the mixing ratio, reinforcement use (if they use reinforcement), the curing of the precast parapet, the hanging aspect.

Enyinne:May be this is your first experience, many of those real estates companies advertising are the biggest scammer in the system. Have you ever heard of cross high jack of land? What it means is, high jacking land that are in process of perfecting their document, some of those company will collaborate with high level criminals in government office. To corner it to their own advantage in the fastest manner ever which is called governor consent. Its called double dip title, that's where the litigation battles beings. 1 Like |

kopell: I know a popular estate here where some houses were recently demolished. It was in the news. One of the affected persons is among us here. He has since given up on anything property in Nigeria after his experiences at Alausa secretariat. In Lagos - Nigeria, real estate is look well before you leap. The guy has been living in the house for 5 years before it was demolished last year. Even the house of a sitting commissioner from one of the Eastern states was demolished and nothing to the best of my knowledge could be done to stop it. I saw the guy who led the demolition team. He told me “I did it and nothing can be done to stop it. We are coming back.” Believe me! They came back ![]() The affected persons went to court. Omo onile blah blah.... It was a sordid experience for the man and all he affected persons. The house you once lived in now became a sad story to tell. May we not experience such. ________ Buyers Beware |

Enyinne:My engineer also advice me against precast, it's cheaper and lighter than semi cast or permanent cast, like spyder880 once said precast has pros & cons and a good specialist should be consulted for that job. |

omanzo02: Precast is good but I’d take precautions. The pics below shows two installation of precast parapets. Pic 1 - Stone Tiles installed beneath the precast element Pic 2 - Precast installed without any support. Signs of visible cracks were seen after 5 years.

n3xt: What a sad experience.... Is there any website, or office where someone could get a legitimate information regarding real estate before taking a leap?? It is sad that most of these "office people " in government do collaborate with bad guys to do this evil. Just wondering if there are still decent avenue for someone to source information before getting involved in a real estate transaction in Lagos. In the west, it's all there in the county/council assessor/recorders office. Who did this to us in Nigeria, Africa, government officials always backwards, gearing to cheat and deceive the people. No wonder so many people aren't proud to be Nigerians or African. The world richest man Elon Musk is African but he never claims to be ( I have never heard him mention he is African ) and the press never addresses him as African or mention his African background, I wouldn't imagine he would be excited and be bouncing off the ceiling if he is addressed as African - he might buy the news outlet and shut down their operations. 1 Like |
