We advice against that for Maintainability purposes and prevention of fast self-deterioration of your building. A separate tank will be more economical in the long run.

For maintainability it could be cumbersome which is limited to the degree and nature of the work to be done.
As regards "fast self deterioration" of the building, I disagree. In order to do such, those responsible should do the design of the structure in order to carry all loads.

So I was minding my own business jeje browsing through instagram when I saw pictures of the paint bucket with CROWN PAINT sticker on it. The pictures are only on nairaland on my old threads as far back as 2014 before I changed it to Regal paint.
I checked out the profile of the person and I discovered he lifted pictures of projects I supplied various clients too and he watermarked them. He took some other pictures probably from other sources too.
The guy is good at packaging and I wish I have his skills, my pictures are looking much better on his page grin.
He was honest enough to admit he doesn't sell paint but he could help interested people buy. I don't have problem with him using my pictures to help make a living, but using them without my consent especially for clients whose permission was sought is for nairaland only.
Some people are better at packaging than the actual skill needed and this should serve as warning for those engaging services of 'professionals' to extra cautious.
This platform is by far better to assess various contractors on their level of skill and professionalism from their contributions of different aspects of their trade and pretenders can easily be discerned.

This one weak me oo, Mo foo, how can someone watermark pictures that dont belong to them. We can be guilty of using someone else's pics for advert or to use it to analyze what one is trying to describe, but watermarking is on another level.

Am not sure he is a legit painting contractor or if he knows the trade at all.

I suspect he is a third party businessman trying to get a job and engaging the real professionals to do it.

Definitely, the roof which will make it a Bungalow is cheaper. U don't need to go over the board, u can just do the longspan aluminium roof but if you want to attain the 4Units of 3bd flats, then you will need to have planned for it from the foundation then u deck and probably felt & introduce a form of temporary flood drain around anywhere on the deck & make sure u have made provisions for the members that will carry the first floor. U can even do a temporary felt if u don't mind

If your compound isn't filled yet, make sure the rear of the gate inside the plot is higher than the region or area around the gate. Then depending on what u like, u can then do an open drain or a concealed drain using PVC pipes buried inside the ground with provision for manhole to channel water down the the outside drain. Some pple are lucky, they have a Natural flood drain pattern on their plot and they jus do Lil work to cater for drain

Thanks for your input.

We have not started building yet.

Just trying to put cost into consideration and the time to finish too.

Can you explain the temporary part you mentioned.

Am also thinking, is it possible do deck one part and roof the other part.

Thanks

I want to build a petrol station will 25 million naira be enough for the project..

You will need to do what is called DESIGNING TO COST.

If you have a very tight budget, the petrol station can be designed to be within that amount.

The comment above is a good one.

However, I always advise people to build vertically and take advantage of vertical.

Land mass is in limited supply but you can maximize your plot of land by building vertically.

It depends on your location, taste and financial projection.


If you can afford it, you can make it a storey building.

Thanks for your reply.

We are just looking at the overall cost of the building up to the decking level vis-a-vis roofing on 2 flat.

We are thing the cost of decking would be 2 times the cost of roofing.

Or can you enlighten me a bit??

Thanks
