Matjekdar:
Hi professional in the house , I need a good architect in osogbo for drawing and approval of simple 3bedrrom flat on a plot of land

would you like to use my friend here in ILESA, he can as well send it to you or come to Oshogbo for deal.

megacontrol:
Guys, I came across a sliding window made with PVC frames instead of the regular aluminium and was told it has been making inroads for a while now as a substitute to the high-end Tower or Thick imported profiles.

Does anyone have experience using casement or sliding windows made with PVC?

Kindly share.

Thanks

who else notice this pxc has no lintel? hope this is safe especially when the window is said to be done with pvc

You can get the materials on ground then you know it is the workmanship that you will keep.

buying wood on ground is a No No boss the wood will dry off and shrink and it will be very hard for nail to penetrate. He should ho and freeze the money in the bank till dry season. My opinion.

Except it's the fault of the camera or angle of snapshot:

The slope of the roof is not uniform. This is because the distance to the kingpost from both ends are not same.

The wood for that hip was not carefully selected and this account for it not being straight.

I love details and quality finishing - the bane of our artisans.

I had to take more pictures for proper viewing.

It was the camera. Nothing wrong.

Thanks man

It appears the bricklayer followed the slope of the land. And then the carpinter followed the same level.
Expect to see cracks very soon.
Pls call a structural engr asap. You need to remove the roof and add more blocks and level the building.

Thanks for your response but I prefer someone from Ibadan.

Dear Roofers,

Why technique is used in calculations of roof sqm? It's the normal mathematical trigonometry?

goodday, whats the price for 0.6mm aluminium long span

Good evening great Engineers,

Please which is the best and LESS expensive water tank stand for a 5 bedroom bungalow, is it the Iron type or concrete?

I want to know which one will last longer.

I will also be grateful if you can tell me rough estimate for each.

Thanks.

Ok. Enjoy your house sir!

It appears there are no coaches of blocks placed after the lintel. At least 3 coaches should be placed on the lintel before roofing to avoid unnecessary cracks on the building walls due to the self weight of the roof.

To me, the stanchion (steel type) is the more easy to construct, cheaper and durable as well. It stands the test of time if well braced and properly constructed.
The demerit concrete method has is that most time, water seeps on the base of the concrete which weakens its strength. Though in terms of stability, especially when big water tanks are to be put in place, concrete is better

I have 73 plots @ Omi Adio. Please contact me on WhatsApp if you are interested. +966595543700

Location and prices please. Thanks.

Thanks...but durability can't depend on workmanship, rather that'll depend on the material. How much the material can withstand the test of time.

I found a China factory that makes it but the prices are not too far off from Aluminium, so will just stick to traditional Aluminum frames then.

saydfact:


They are stronger than the Aluminum types in my opinion... Offcourse, durability depends on workmanship.

It was used for our site office when we were constructing Shoprite Sangotedo and it lasted forever

Do not go the concrete way... Do an iron tank stand of about 16-18ft for optimum pressure level and it cost about 110 to 150,000. This stand can take up to 4 tanks (ensure to discuss this with your welder before contracting the work out)...

Ps: the price maybe cheaper if you want just a 2 tank stand max or even 1tank.

As for the advice against concrete: it's different shades of wahala

Noted with thanks.

As you are the seller, you dictate the condition of sale.

The professional thing to do is to negotiate with YOUR agent before commissioning the (estate) agent to look for buyers. You negotiate what you think is commensurate with the amount of work done. 5% of 45 million is a lot of money just for leg work. Personally I will not pay that much.

Regarding legal fees, the buyer pays. You could draft a contract of sale with your lawyer for a fee irrespective of how much you eventually sell the property before putting the property in the market.

At the point of sale, you serve the drafted contract to the buyer who take it to their lawyer for interpretation. If the buyer are satisfied, they sign the contract and then make payment. Shikena.

Professional builders please help me check out this building with a single front pilar for the balcony. Can it stand the roof load? I will also welcome criticisms about the house.

Please what do you have to say about this building?

What about if the concrete is covered with tiles?
Is that a good option?

In my books it's no longer recommended.

If this is a dry area... Then I don't have to worry about your dpc level.
As for that one pillar (it's not even necessary if what I am seeing in the photo is a suspended beam)... If that's a suspended beam and of very good quality then you spoilt the beauty of that area with that pillar there... The pillar isn't necessary if the suspended beam was done top notched.



In this photo... Is something similar to what you are trying to achieve and it's beautiful without a pillar.

Thanks. I will be using one big and small tank.
