Here’s what has worked for me over the years.

- I’m the last building in the lane so no one have any business after my plot.

-There’s 30 ft setback to my right and front and the next building on my left is mine. That keeps strangers at bay. If I can’t see you, someone will definitely see you from afar.

- I’m not sharing walls with neighbors

- There are motion sensor alarms around.

- The setback between the building and the fence is almost 30ft.

- No security, no dog but motion sensor lights at the gate.

- My backyard is a swamp. Not an escape route.

- I always preach to the bad boys and I’m not living a flamboyant life.

- Lastly, God is my surest security. My gate do not have locks. I’ve never locked my gate for once.Although, it won’t open without a manual override.

Pic: Motion sensor at the gatehouse. I have 8 and they’re very annoying when they are triggered. They don’t sleep, neither can voodoo work on them.

It was the same thing brabus posted.
The same mix is use for mortar & plastering
Check his post again

My bad......
Anyways I don't know what kind of sand they use for plastering in that area or elsewhere and if it's the same cement we are using too. I would really like to see a pix of them builds where this mix is used before extra aesthetic is done on the wall.

Where I come from without telling the workman(mason) he knows it's 1 cement bag =8 paint bucket for plastering.

Nicely stated.
I wonder how people jump into conclusions here so fast. Reducing the participatory time and essence of people who ought to voice out where need be. I just read a member saying FIRE the architect. Really, just like that? What happens to asking him reasons for his design and if not convinced, ask him to change it. I don't like the way some people talk here seriously. That someone world for you doesn't mean you shouldn't respect the person at all. Some comments are not necessary, pls all concerned should take note of that.

That's why personally i involve clients in plan reviews of at least two times or three before final conclusions. Everyone's opinions are fine but be constructive other than insultive.

Thanks.

EgunMogaji2:


Of course they can build house but just not the one pictured

You’re very correct.

The day I feared these guys was when they robbed a community bank at Ilugun. They removed a very heavy vault door and the question people kept asking was “How did that happen without a crane?”

n3xt:


I don’t know what some architects think when they’re conceptualizing/designing a house.

How can a kitchen of 13sqm have 3 doors? How much functional space is left?

Space planning is a fundamental element of the interior design process.

Let’s not talk about cost of having 5 doors in kitchen/laundry.

I need your whatsApp number sir

omanzo02:

My initial plan had a bar and toilets for every bedrooms, my first question was "did I asked for that?", Some architect just assume every client might embrace their exaggerated fantasy.......we sometimes assume to be in Hollywood.
They should learn to communicate and find out what the client have in mind and could afford.

Abolarin91:
It is very important for an architect to ask for client brief before designing, even if the client ask him to design 3 bedroom for him, he should ask for brief. We should know the difference between an Architect and draftman

Good day,
Please advise needed for this floor plan, I am planning building soon, so the architect sent me the floor plan.
I didn't asked him to include private lounge, so I will ask him to remove that, also please let me know if the room size and main living room size is standard enough. I want the master bedroom toilet to accommodate a jacuzzi.
The land is 450sqm

WHY WOULD YOU THROW AWAY SOMEONE'S STRESS BECAUSE OF COMMENTS FROM ANOTHER? I'M SURE YOU AGREE THE INITAIL ARCHITECT HAS INVESTED TIME AND MONEY TO GET YOU THAT....

IF YOU WANT ANOTHER DESIGN, TAKE ALL THE CONSTRUCTIVE COMMENTS TO HIM AND HE WOULD DO A GREAT JOB..

I'LL SAY THIS - THE GUY WHO CAME UP WITH THAT DESIGN KNOWS HIS ONIONS.......... but it's your decision anyway not mine... I can only advice

EgunMogaji2:


Very well written.

I was Mr. Bungalow before I moved back home. I now know it’s duplex for me for safety. It’s makes for much easier living to turn the entire top floor into a safe zone than my safe room downstairs.

For the diasporans, try to do more planning while on the ground. Mist of my plans that were made in the comfort of the USA has been realigned today fit the reality on the ground.

One neighbor here was robbed. They woke up to find out that they slept all through a burglary. Money kept amin the same room they were in and electronics were taken. The 3 Rottweilers slept too and vet had to attend to those as they were comatose. Was it voodoo or some sort of sleeping gas? I don’t know but I think if it was a duplex the perps would have had a tougher time.

n3xt:


Yep for light. What about ventilation?

How about eliminating the walls in the blue area to throw in light and ventilation into the area? That’s is turn the private lounge into a dining and extending the kitchen towards the red area.
A small terrace can also be introduced in the laundry area to throw in natural light and air into the building.

You can never take away the importance of natural lighting in a 21st century house.
