Oga EgunMogaji2 , n3xt, kopell, KolaShangOne, diordaves , Michlins, uncleteeh and all my friends here, how do you like this house design, a high roof bungalow.

Happy weekend to you all.
Good day my able engineer, for me personally as far is bungalow. I can spend as much as I can to bring the beauty out with high roofing design. I will suggests recommending not less then 5 meters/ 16ft to 5.2 meters / 17ft king point, let see what the building will look like if the owner is open to options before committing his money.

Nice building. I concur with rotecch77.

But if you intend to do bring out the boldness more in this build you should do a modified version of a parapet retaining wall before you roof at that low kingpost( no need for hidden roof per se)
I hope we know there's a big different between parapet walls and concrete fascia.

Keep up the good work.

I understand this concept and I can relate to what you and your architect are trying to achieve. I'm working to achieve this same concept as a forever home after the pandemic by God's grace. This is a very nice concept and if executed correctly the outcome will be outstanding with panache. This concept can be said to be a California bungalow or Colonial bungalow or Plantation bungalow. I love the double aspect and the tall accent windows. This brings in loads of natural light. This is the original concept of bungalows before the concept changed over the years. See attached photo. This is the same concept you are trying to achieve with your client. I get you but spend as much time and detail with the floor plan as well. Get the flow right because the accent windows go with a certain flow, so no dark corridors, spaces or foyers.

Now, I read about flat roof going with this concept. Abeg, tell your client make s/he no just try am. Flat roof wetin? Who lights a candle and put it under a table? Who spends over 10 million on a home and then slap on a flat roof and thinks is a crowning glory? A 10million home with a flat roof is like a man with many wives but not enough soup to eat his fufu.

Good morning all. Pls my site is an area with iron and salt. If u do shallow borehole u will get white water and after some hours it will turn brown(sign of present of iron) if you dig Dipper you will end up with salty + iron water.

A parapet is a barrier that is an extension of the wall at the edge of a roof, terrace, balcony, walkway or other structure. ... In the Bible the Hebrews are obligated to build a parapet on the roof of their houses to prevent people falling.

Simply said, parapet is an external wall extension on the roof edge with a coping(concrete, aluminum,etc)

Truth is that we all have seen it in old generation Nigerian bank buildings and some other builds.

I think it can be done with some modification.

But what comes to my thoughts now is you can do the parapet and a precast work at the edges like what is done for window hoods.

Not a very good arrangement bro.

Too many things aren’t right on this. Your family lounge is too small for the size of that building.

I’ll also have issues with the room arrangement

This floorplan doesn’t make sense to me at all.

Please study other floor plans on here before committing.

This is not looking good bro...the design looks so disjointed and lacks proper arrangement. Please request for the service of an Architect, so you can get something worthy.

Good morning to teeming clients, colleagues and friends.

I'm here to remind you to engage a Quantity Surveyor on your projects to help you manage your projects within an empirically tested budget.

As a client, a Quantity Surveyor might be a very valuable professional advising you on;

1) The fair cost of the project with regards to cost of materials and labour and preliminaries.
2) A very good contract administration. Let's face reality, either you entered into a contract expressly with the builder/contractor or by implications, the moment there's an agreement to have a builder/contractor build for you, a contract has already been established. Let Quantity Surveyors help you to get the best out of it by protecting you from inherent risks during execution of such projects.
3) Let Quantity Surveyors help you during the construction phase too. You will never know how much you can save during the construction phase until you engage a QS.

As a Contractor, you also need the Quantity Surveyor to help you prepare a fair bid for construction works.

Get a Quantity Surveyor today and I'm sure you will be glad you did.
