Proposed floor plan.

idiagbo86:
The floor plan is ok as design is based on a concept u dim fit. However ,u still have to make adjustments on the ventilation aspect of not only the room but also the lounge which accommodates alot of persons .please make it crossed and that I guess will put the structure to a finner design.

davejay congrats on your project but looking at the plans carefully and speaking from the angle of an architect I think you need to make some amendments on your plan.

1)make the bathrooms of the 2rooms at the left side of the building to be in between the lounge and the rooms so d rooms can be cross ventilated.

2)remove the lobby wall between the dining and the masters so the dining becomes bigger to accommodate the dining table and also access to the lounge.

3)u can have a space between the master bedroom bath and the store so u can introduce another window thr so the masters can be fully cross ventilated

4)block off the entrance from the anteroom to d masters cos its not good for a door from the anteroom to lead to d masters for security reasons.

I have attached a sketch to dis message hope it swill help u just show it to ur architect he should be able to effect the corrections on your design

OP, nice project. I don't know if someone has called your attention to this but I'll say it anyway.
Why have the anteroom distribute u to the rooms? Security wise, I don't think it makes sense.
Another thing I have seen is that the store is very small.

Excavation = N30,000
9" Blocks = N135
6" Blocks = N120
Trip of sand = N15,000
Trip of gravel = N35,000. This is the quote the site Engineer got for me.

Please note that this is not fixed, as it depends on location and your bargaining power also...

Hello Nairalanders, I'm about commencing a building project. Please I need assistance and necessary information and guidance from the Masters in the house. Thanks.

I think that is the normal rate in Lagos/Ogun area... you can probably cut it down.

Mgbadike80:
daviejay, i think ur engineer is misleading u, 6inches blocks still sell #80 while 9 is about 120, to be honest some places vary upwards and this is in neighboring Niger state. also masons charge about #25 per block. I'm not judging d man but investigate by ur self by going to a block industry and Mason joints. things are generally cheaper in d north.

Congrats on your project. My God provide you the resources to complete it.

Looking at your floor plan, I believe it might need a few adjustment. The planning is okay. However, I'm not very comfortable with the ventilation aspect. The designer didn't focus on cross ventilation for any of the bedrooms. You might want to achieve that by moving the toilets inside and pushing the bedrooms out to create windows on those planes. This would create cross ventilations in the 3 bedrooms. I Hope my explanation is clear? If it isn't very clear, I might sketch and attach I mean.

you can do the following, re introduces two window each closer to the adjacent wall in each of the affected flat or reduce the length of the length of the toilet to accommodates a smaller window by the side
