Since we live in Africa, where some foods must be consumed by bare hands, hand washing is essential. Think of eating eba with soup, and the fear of those elastic kpomo being stretched between the hand and teeth and then snap to throw red stew on your white top. (Or pepper in the eyes) Rushing to fetch water and soap might cause delays. It might be better to have an existing wash hand basin near the action point.
But like Thathistoryguy pointed out, there are modern ones available now.

Thanks. Am yet to purchase any, only the pipes are there now. Just want to know if people who are building now are still making room for that.

Thanks, If I may add to this request... alternatives that are also permeable. Some of the problems of flooding we're experiencing is compounded by everyone concreting up their own portion reducing the absorption capacity of the earth.

I'm thinking gravel but aesthetically distributed. Someone posted about local hoodlums carting away the materials though. Naija wahala.

One advantage of gravel is it's an early warning system for thieves in the night, not many people reckon with that.

I love you referring to Darenyx and in fact we are friends and he is a good man and an helper but does that mean others dont offer a good job because u havent tried them before?
Look odd to me.
I have enough contact already but nothing can be enough anyway.
Money is not the issue but the commitment of given the best.
I remember when i fully started architectural business when my first payment was just 15k,I took it not putting money first but today I look back and give God glory but imagine if @all i put money first I might be a 419 in the profession by now offering a bad work but never can that be.

Having washing hand basin at the dining is not an old fashion. its a nice idea and the basin for the dining is not the common type used in the toilet. There are some transparent fancy basin that you can install. Recently formatted my phone and i don't have the pictures would have love to send you some.

Sis,
Irrespective of regime, the foundation for your building type which largely depends on your soil type, topography and structural design will take you within the range of #3.5M upwards .

I am talking of only foundation. I intend building little by little. Got any idea how much it will cost. My land topography is not water logged but your average normal land. Design is 3 bedroom with only the master bedrooms ensuit.

Dont go about forcing figures out of people, it will only scare u.
Get the architectural & structural ready, take it to a QS or an architect/engineer to give u a quote. Only then u can know what will complete your foundation. Design varies, so not all three bedroom storey building will require same cost to do d foundation.

I must salute u, if u are d one at dp trying to embark on such project...because u look quite young for this....
