@Sako

You get liver oo and you no fear o, you dey send Haji on errand like he's your houseboy !!

I would be careful with websites like this, most things in nija still follow the route of face me i face you, let us transact face to face. Forget internet things..

Gurus in the house, I came across this online and want to share the information and also confirm from guys in Lagos if its true.

@ Hajji M ,@ EgunMogaji can you elders look into this and see how real it is. Or if your guys in Lagos can go to the show room to confirm.

Use for firewood?

When I put it to the owner, he asked me to find out what is better of course with evidence. I think I will convince him to just stay off the blocks.

It's quite thoughtful of you to go out of your way to help your friend get the best results,
I don't quite subscribe to the idea of "just do what it says" ... especially considering the fact that the owner is a friend and the modification is a non structural one. As long as he is consulted; and it is done with his express approval. ....@bolded he clearly just wants what is "best" and has no particularly rigid choice. The plan could be 50 yrs old for all you know.
Even very complex detail in existing plans could be altered as improvement, let alone wardrobe design.

In my opinion, the stand alone closets provide more flexibility, with regards to repositioning and design, especially building for personal habitation, if the extra cost is no problem.

I'm sure almost every experienced builder here has at one point or the other made recommendations to a client about some modifications to original plans, for which the client had reason to thank them in the end.

All the best.

when are we getting it done,mean while i do architectural design and supervise construction process too

I've decided to select someone else. Thanks for providing a quote.

cindybaby22:

thanks for your response.
i really appreciate this.
i haven't done survey yet, & the area is undeveloped though, so it is better the fencing remain inside the beacon?
another problem is those pillar at the edges of the fence.
thanks.

The fence will not collapse without those pillars at the edges.

Later, the bricklayers will remove the beacons and cast pillars in their place.

Sorry Oga mi, I am not on ground now and won't be for few more months... and I know EgunMogaji just don't want to hear about Lagos except Muritala Mohammed Airport. So I hope those who are home and reading this can help us do the leg work.

Poured concrete pillar vs Block pillar for fencing

What are the advantages/disadvantages of both? I've been looking on the site at how fences are constructed and saw both methods being used without documented reasoning.

Your replies are much appreciated.

Good Morning ladies & gentlemen.

Please I need advise regarding incorporating a Lift in a proposed block of flats. 3 Levels for now (i.e ground, 1st & 2nd floors)

In terms of number of floors, what does the building code (Lagos state) stipulate?

Kindly advise if you have any idea of cost estimate to acquire and install as well as yearly maintenance

Thank you.

Average of 8m!

I did block pillars. Concrete pillars will be stronger of course and required in areas with bad soils like Lekki and Ikorodu.

One thing I wished I did was sandwiching two blocks to make a pillar. Love the look and will retrofit later.

Scam!

I am currently redoing my fence pillars, and one consideration is the gate. I find that poured concrete especially hanging the gate at thesame time would likely be much stronger than using blocks.

If i had my way, blocks is cheaper and quicker, what i just know is that it may not last in my own case.

Did you use 6" or 9" block for your fence?

Did you use 6" or 9" block for your fence?

Yes, exactly like that. I used 6" blocks because I was fencing 100 X 125" plot.

Hajj has used 6" and Spyder880 too, just as reference.

If you're building in Ibadan and not inside an established estate, DO NOT leave the land fallow without fencing and gating it.

The omo oniles in Ibadan are the very sons of anarchy

This is what I'm going through right now, some asshat surfaced and said his father owns 10 acres there including my land. Now, this is with fence and house. Imagine if there was no fence, then I would return to find a structure on my land. This repeats itself all over Ibadan.

Oh, how I wish this happened in the US.

I was told upfront that I will deal with hoodlums of a different type. Not omo oniles, but those asking for prayer money. The owner of the land lives, literally, a stone throw away from my land. He said a few bottles of booze and they will leave. We'll see...


Clearing of the land is imminent and fencing will begin immediately after.

@ Oga Hajji, 3 Gbosa for my Oga,
@ maverick and segcymoor know for sure is a scam, but is better to raise it here b4 someone will fall prey.

segcymoor:

Scam!

The way you responded with the word Scam got me laughing, chai, Nigeria is such a hard place that yahoo boys will sleep, wake up with a website with other dodgy structures all in an attempt to obtain, con, hood wink, scam and collect cool cash and then go and eat fresh fish with chilled beer, buhahahahaha

I have not stepped into Ibadan in just over 20 years, the Ibadan I know used to be a peaceful place, in fact it was a weekend relaxation from the hustle and bustle of Lagos.

The areas i know are around

Bodija
Olorunshogo
Ring road

So are you saying that they have opened eye like Lagos counterparts now, as in the Omoniles, what will happen if one deploys members of squadron 25 Obalende Barracks or Operation MESA ?

Mr. Tevanso, your sales tactics are a bit aggressive Sir.

There are few notable builders on here that their work speaks for them and they never solicit.

Showcase your builds from start and especially to finish.

If you don't have stuff under your belt, then partner with those that do.

Consider this a constructive criticism.

the one of concrete is sure going to be stronger, but more expensive & time consuming

Block pillars are more cost effective than concrete pillars of the same dimensions and standard mix (say M15 concrete strength). For six inches block fence, I prefer block pillars of section 450 x 450mm, filled with with concrete. With configuration like in the sketch below.

sorry for disturbing ... was just passing by
and I decided to post something

I see. So, no gap in the fencing for block pillars. One continous fence with blocks on both side every 10ft or so to create the pillar. Does that correctly describe it?
