Hi,
I am interested in reading your post on the cost estimate of the 4 bedroom. However it is not readable. The numbers are not feasible

I always patronize JMG Generators (FG Wilson Perkins UK Brands).
Not sure they have 7.5 - 10KVA but sure of 12.5KVA. That’s around #3.2m
www.jmglimited.com

One of the best. Highly recommended.

It matters! it's tiling before painting. Painting should be the very last thing you do in a building after which you clean and move in.

You are right. It's a duplex in Nigeria parlance but HOUSE in UK terminology. It's not my work though. Just to clarify.

Wahala dey o! Please show us more photos of the actual sinking if you can. Good to know and be cautious about engaging the right professional and tradespeople.

Poor foundation work.
Some of the so called Engineer will deceive the client that they can do it well without pile foundation even if the soil report recommend deep foundation.
All they are concerned about is money and they want to handle a project by fire by force.

How are you sure that the client actually got the services of an engineer......
Even on this platform we have people who collect quotations from their contractor masons and tell us to check if the quote is on the high side. grin

Hello,

I have a building that has gotten to roofing stage. I have tried contacting some of the core members that I have seen here but no response. Is Money121 still into roofing?

Please can anyone recommend a trustworthy supplier?

True. But when one is not totally on ground, the maintenance becomes problem on renewable energy...

We give thanks my oga.

I’m reducing my elaborate window sizes. When I was in Los Angeles 6 X 5 windows were the thing, now that I’m in Nigeria and looking at N1.5M estimates for windows, Son Of Man had to caution himself and reduce grin

But we move, no time.

Oga himself. I know say you no go disappoint. Fine crib. Looking at this alone, I am impressed with the design of this interior with the slanting ceiling

I love it when living rooms have shapes unlike the usual square or rectangular shapes we see here in Nigeria.

You should have left that window opening you made and just fix a non openable window. That way, it is cheaper and you have natural light enter the place.

I love windows. Where it becomes expensive, I just put permanent one. That way, you save cost of mosquito net and other window accessories. grin

I love this your design. Is it a bungalow or a duplex if you don't mind?

Well, I stand to be corrected but that is one of the tenets of the foundation of this thread. To ask professionals for opinions and assistance.

I personally thank all the professionals that have shared opinions and guided people like me.

Even though I couldn’t afford Spyder880 and he wasn’t working in my area at that time, my local builder got sick and tired of me always checking his work to Spyders.

Please stop demeaning homeowners that come here looking for opinions. They have a right to, just professionals have a right not to answer.

Thanks.
