Fhemmmy:
Will there be an elevator in this property or how will the people on the topmost floor moved their stop in?

Fhemmmy:
Bros, how many plot of land will be needed for this?

spyder880:


All the houses on this neighbourhood are all 5 - 6 floors high and none of them uses a lift. But I think lifts are the next big boom in these areas if there will be steady power. People are ready to raise higher buildings if only there will be lifts commonly used in Nigeria.

spyder880:


A house this high should require a bigger land for parking of cars and general liveability, but in an environment with limited land which are very expensive, people are building in smaller spaces now. A land measuring 60 X 100ft is the minimum that will match this building.

Fhemmmy:


That is just one standard plot of land na . . . .

Getting ready for the next decking which started today......

spyder880:


1. The overall cost of building the whole project has not been worked out, but the cost of building the carcass (Foundation till roofing) is about N34m.

2. Due to the methods we applied, this foundation cost us about N3.8m or slightly higher.

3. The first decking cost about N3.1m or less for every material and workmanship/supervision.

The methods we are using for this house might be different from the methods planned for your own house, which might mean a higher or lower quote from your engineer. Seeing that yours is only 2 storey building, the foundation type and methods might not be as intense as what is needed for a 4 storey building. Same with the iron reinforcement. In this house we are building, we used Y20 rods for most of the works till the second floor decking according to the structural specifications approved by the government.

loneatar:

Oga Ken,
Biko i need us to talk.

I need land in a good place in 33 area near Nkwelle Ezunaka or in Awka or Enugu where i can build this type of 8 flats.

Biko i need your help so i can begin this project next year. I am also interested in a plot of land from you Estate near Elim estates for a private home. Biko let me know how we can link up.

spyder880:


I will be very much available both now and early in the year to select a land for you and help you start and complete the building. That's my job.

Just choose a city, should I concentrate of Onitsha, Awka or Enugu to get a good land? As soon as I get response from you, the search will begin. Call or WhatsApp me on 0803 335 0850.

spyder880:


Yes Sir.

Perhaps the planning permit approval agency in Onitsha is not as strict as Lagos.
As can be seen in the neighborhood, high rise seem to be the norm w/out provision for adequate parking and elevator.
Not sure this will fly in Lagos for such 5-6 story buildings with 8-10 or more dwelling units.

At the end of the day,if the plan is approved then the builder goes ahead to execute.
This seems like a big project, the speed and accuracy is commendable. cheers!

Fhemmmy:


Thanks for your great comment . . . . .Can you tell us what will fly in Lagos, just for us all to learn and widen our scope of knowledge sir

spyder880:


Thank you. I want to learn how it is in Lagos, planning a similar project in Lagos soon.

megacontrol:
1/ I know for certain that as par car parking you are required to show provision of minimum 2 cars per apartment. So for this 10units, your plan should indicate minimum of 20 car park slots.
For this size of land (if it’s 1 plot as mentioned) and number of units,the common practice is to leave the whole ground floor for parking.

2/ As per evelator requirement, I’m not quite sure what the cut-off point is but I think anything above 5 floors ( GF inclusive)

3/ other requirements are minimum 6m set back in front, 3m set back in rear, 1.5m or so to the sides etc.

There are lot more but these are some of the key min requirements for approval as applicable to this kind of development, whether you now follow those on site is a different thing entirely.
