Kudos to the architect as good use of space.ie general layout. The only concern I have is ventilation around the self contained most especially the dinning area. A slight improvement might be aligning the dinning back door flush to the wall opposite to the flat’s back door.

You have not included the measurements so you need to look at this to determine if it is spacious especially when you have to cater to 2 doors

Hello Lovelies


Please i need you guys to criticize this building plan for me. Owner wants the rooms to be spacious and the room placements to be well organized. It is a three bed room for the owner, a self contain and a two bedroom
..... Your candid opinion is needed

Please, do you consider plumbing as a good new career choice for a middle aged man in Nigeria who desires to take care of his family now and not retire wretched in the future.
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by gabbytabby: 7:03pm On Jun 28, 2019
The bigger question is are you trainable, can you climb scaffolding and use ladder to go into waste tanks. Do you have stomach for the products. There is a gap in this market generally and a good one is always in demand.

i trust his ability to bend down to get the work done, i'm concerned if it would pay him enough to survive. I already have my plumber willing to train him as an apprentice for free but i'm afraid of him getting stuck on a dead end career. I really need more people's views on this.

Good morning great people, I appreciate how we come together to help each other and resolve issues. Hardly a day goes by without me visiting this page to update myself on current issues.
I have had difficult times trying to sort out my leaking roof for about a year now. I contacted a nairalander (name withheld for now) to do my parapet, woodwork and roofing with stone coated sheets. Apparently, he left his workers on the site unsupervised which resulted to a poor job.
The roof has been leaking along the gutters. The pictures are attached (the leaking points marked with chalk from under). He has tried at least 3 times to repair the leaks with sealant, but as at few days ago, it is still leaking from many points.
I was mad at him for leaving the job unsupervised but I don’t want to make issues now until he fails to resolve it. I cant proceed on doing POP until I’m 100% sure there are no leaks. This is really delaying the progress.
Please, aside replacing the sheets which will cost a whole lot of money cos of the places involved, what is the best way to fix these leaks. Please I need your opinions from your experiences. Thanks

Then let him go ahead my current plumber is very good , humble, always improving himself and amendable. Doing well and building his own home. At times doing well in life is more about how focused one is

I experienced the same problem but with metcopo sheet. Just like you, I started out with the silicone solution to no avail. This delayed the project for two years. I applied the silicone and wait for the next raining season to text the outcome. Same problem.

Just like you, I could not do anything on site for the two years. And then I changed tact.

I removed the sheets of the leaky section of the roof and replaced with new sheets. Problem solved.

So you may need to bite the bullet. Remove the sheets from the leaky section and replaced with new ones and from my experience, you will solve the problem.

With roofing, it is very important to get it right the first time or else na wahala o.

Please where is the best place to get deals on TMT iron rods in Lagos?

I'm looking to purchase some significant quantity and believe there should be some good discount or wholesale rates obtainable given the current high prices out there.

Please point my in any direction you know for direct sourcing.

Thanks

This is the plan that I want to make use.
It's for students hostel, there is no special or luxury finishing, just the simple and conservative pattern.
Simple plumbing, normal electrical work.
Thanks

Cool with the uploaded picture the wrk is a bit complex,wht you can see here, now is just assuming cost which is unprofessional. Best is to engage a qus.
because you need full boq.But if you don't mind you can still get the quote stages by stages.

Thank you.

Please do you have contacts to share for the Badore road sales point?
Likewise the Ikorodu will be fine.

Site is in Lekki and distance isn't an issue provided we get good discount rates on bulk purchase.
