Hello Nairalanders, I have a plot of land 60/120 on which I plan to build a bungalow. I am a Quantity surveying undergraduate so I am not that competent when it comes to building design or CAD. Another issue is that I am not based in Nigeria so I am also not very familiar with Nigerian building regulations and I am aware that due to the climate of Nigeria the way a building is planned out would need to be different from the way it is done in the UK where I gained all of my construction knowledge. I have been reading many Nairaland construction posts for quite a long time and I must say I love the knowledge, advice and expertise that is shared on this platform, it is very inspiring.
I will attach my (poor) attempts to produce CAD drawings based on what I had in mind but due to some uncertainty as to how the building should be laid out I stopped and decided to consult the Nairaland construction community in order to get some advice on the design ( i.e Window location, minimum required dimensions etc) and construction of this project and possibly financial advice so that I can get back to the drawing board and finalise my design.
once again please forgive my poor architectural drawings, normally i would just do a rough sketch but for the sake of clarity and the ability to upload I decided to try CAD.
Please all input would be highly appreciated no matter how small
By Gods grace, I shall one day have a topic titled "construction of my bungalow in Ikorodu, from start to finish"
Thanks
