Just out of curiosity, why do you have a concrete slab over the BQ? Is this better than just using wood and aluminium like i see in many other builds? Which is more cost effective? |

abdulwastecx: Abdul...well done. A quick question please. Is it okay if I exclude stones in my blinding for my fence? The land is not swampy and is flat. |

ceelog: Stone is your concrete strength, never exclude it even if you want build a temporary bath room (lol). No matter how dry the land looks always use your coarse aggregates 1 Like |

Memejem: Just coming back from a ban. We have that in mind, we will still roof it with ordinary long span roofing sheet, that is why we have a small parapet to hide the roof. Security reason was responsible for using deck before the roof that will come on it to drain water to the back 1 Like |

I'm confused. Can you please explain what the purpose of a garage house is for? Here in Canada the garage is connected to the house. Does a garage house replace the gatemans security house? What is the purpose of the mini flat on top? abdulwastecx: 1 Like |

Memejem: Good question sir. Here in Nigeria we pack our vehicle outside but for this particular house, the client want an enclosed garage that is separated from the house. The initial plan was to build a Bungalow garage but after we started construction the client wanted to use the upper space for one bedroom open dining and kitchen concept and we have to change the structural configuration 2 Likes |

abdulwastecx: Laugh ke? I am very impressed with the hands on approach and wish some engineers i have worked with will be more involved rather than dishing our orders over the phone. In future I hope you continue with the personal touch you give your projects, and train your workmen to know what you want even if you are not there so that there is minimal room for disagreements. 2 Likes |
