Avoid bad tenants by accepting only 2 years rent upfront or even 3 years. Bad tenants made my own father sell of his property 4 flats.. they all refused to renew rent fir 2 years. He got a mouth watery offer and old the building plus the tenants. The new owner a well known mad army with solid rank... collected the rents and kicked them out...come and see different juju items from all tenants including pastor o.. use ur property for school , hospitals , restaurant, motel , guest house or even ashawo biz Focusmind: 4 Likes |

uncleteeh: Baba, you’re going too far! Most people don’t pay attention to the orientation of their building in order to maximize air flow. I do not use ACs in my house because I took into cognizance the shape, height, orientation and planning of my building to take advantage of natural ventilation. Buildings must be positioned in relation to the variation in the sun’s path. |

Gucciballer: ![]() ![]() It’s calculated per sqm. The length of a room multiply by the breadth gives you the total sqm. Staircase is charged based on complexity of the design. 2 Likes 1 Share |

KolaShangOne:I had a particular client I was working for on a new project, he took me to his village to see another on going project and make little inputs here and there. mehn I saw things, column right in the centre of the sitting room because of poor slab job, staircase risers as much as 350mm, some 400mm and I'm not exaggerating, some rooms without windows, step down into the kitchen was 400mm and they didnt even care to divide it into two 200mms, I nearly fell stepping into the kitchen. I didn't even feel safe the few minutes I was inside the structure. he proposed I take over the job, I REJECTED THE OFFER. 2 Likes |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by n3xt(m): 9:52am On Feb 01, 2021 |
princenomics: Convert feet to metre 12ft = 3.6m 3.6 x 3.6 = 12.96sqm You’ll need 9 cartons of 60 x 60 tiles to achieve that. Add 1 or 2 carton for skirting, offcuts and wastage. ** Each carton of 60x60 is 1.44sqm 4 Likes 3 Shares |

Good day everyone , I got a quotation for a window so wanted to check with pple here if its okay Its a Casement window with burglary and net (3in 1): 1200 x 1200 @48,500 (this is for all the big windows) 600 x700 @ 22,500 (bathroom window) It also include installation price .

vickzie: This is one of the mistakes some people make. They design their home from the outside. Say they see a building, they just go YES!! This what I want, exactly this design right there, yep. This they do without researching the floor plan to make sure the flow of the building will work for them. They are just mesmerized by the supposed beauty of the exterior of the building or the 3D design. On a personal note, I spend more time worrying about the internal structure of the house, the flow , livability of the inside than I am worried about the external look and 3D exterior look to me comes wayy after I am happy with the internal flow of the building. After all, I will live inside of the building not at the outside of it. Lots of townhouse or apartments / condos in New York, D.C and San Francisco, they look old and somewhat ugly on the outside but when you enter inside, na there you go no say, man pass man no be boasting. 3 Likes |

n3xt: Those people absolutely know nothing of construction. Those are the kind of people I refer to as theorists. Engineering Construction is all about application knowledge. Alot of people claim to know but can't apply. The bolded is one of the most easy thing I've come to know in the industry. I learnt it under one of my lecturer back in school due to personal relationship. His nickname was modifier amongst his colleagues. 1 Like |

Hello guys, I got a 450 square metre land with 37.5m length and 12.6m width. I want to build a storey building comprising of 4 bedroom flat, 4 units of 2 bedroom flat but I want the 4 bedroom flat to have a different compound from the other flats. I spoke with an architect, he said I can achieve that except for the different compound issue. Alternatively, he said I can only achieve the compound objective, if I can reduce the 2 units of 4 bedroom flat to 2 units of 2 bedroom flats and 2 room and parlour self contain. Architects in the house, what do you think? |

n3xt: For an irregular shaped land......you try ooooo There are lots of things we see on paper while on site and once it doesn't fit in even with the least allowance we just let it go. Reading your post gets me laughing of a client who went and bought a land of irregular shape and gave me a design that made me to laugh all in the name that it was done by a relative. I slept over night with the plan and told the client that the design is very abnormal. Below is the design. 1 Like |
