Hello people,

Pls what is the capacity of the power generator that will be installed in a TYPICAL 5-bedroom duplex?

I know load calculation is normally required but I'm looking to hear from our seasoned M&E specialists, builders, home owners etc. that may have experience with such.

Let's just say the building has everything - A/Cs, water heaters and all whatnot in all the rooms. Roughly will do for now

Thanks

It takes a 27KVA 3 phase gen to run my 5 bedroom complex. -> 1.5hp AC in all rooms + 3hp AC (2hp + 1hp) for living room/dining, fully kitted kitchen, individual water heaters, flood security lights etc.

Good morning guys. This is another adjusted plan sent to me by my architect. Please help to review.

For me it is a good to go plan. Nice use of space and good natural light.

However, going upstairs, I will make a small change to the sit-out. I know that there are no dimensions yet to the plan, but going by the norminal dimension of the sit-out, this is too 'big' and expensive for the plan. Mind you that sit-out is a decking and we all know how expensive decking can be.

So I will convert the sit-out to a purposeful room and do a cantilever sit-out of smaller dimension accessible from the corridor. This to me is a better use of space and better budgeting.

But this is just me. I'm too concerned with budgeting.

here are the prices

10,000
12,000
4,000
8,000.

Thanks. The materials used are 16mm square rod for the framing of the windows and 14mm smooth rod for the designs

Are there still smooth rods in Nigeria? I've not seen that item in Nigeria for more than 30 years. Really, no joke. I've had design concept made of smooth rods in the past that but my welder couldn't find smooth rods. "Oga, smooth rods no dey Nigeria again"

by sliding gate you mean something like this?

Sure and even more. In the spirit of gentleman lifestyle, I suggest you clear up your statement not because you as a victim of fraud you're wrong to cry out but because an individual wronged you and not a whole tribe
By Sliding gate, I mean the a single leaf gate with wheel/tire, instead of the popular double leaf that we're used to.

Secondly, I am a detribalised Nigerian. I love everyone irrespective of age, gender, race or religious beliefs. When issues occur, we would deal with it/them and move on. Reaction? Yes it's normal based on when you expect much and you're disappointed.
Possibility of being misunderstood? Yes
Clarification? Yes

Peace
Happy new year in advance

If it were my house I’ll swap the kitchen with the bedroom next to the kitchen. I like my kitchen and dining in a row without having to cross the hallway.

Otherwise it’s a good and compact plan.

Thank you sir. Will look into that too

what's the measurements of the place you want the gate installed. That will enable me know what you want. Normally it's about 14-16ft long but it can be customized to your choice
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by megacontrol(m): 2:44pm On Dec 30, 2020

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by megacontrol(m): 4:42pm On Dec 30, 2020
We are still at preliminary stages, infact it's still at conception but a stakeholder had given a hint at the capacity and i considered it outrageous so i wanted to double check for a rough estimate.

There is definitely no swimming pool.
Every other power component is standard as would be expected in a decent lekki fully detached 5-bed duplex build.

Thanks

topsy23:


Can you furnish me with the
number of AC, - 4bed +1 (5 bedrooms)
number of water heater - all typical points for a duplex
number of cooker control, - ONE
Number of lighting point - all typical points for a duplex

Is there swimming pool - NO

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by megacontrol(m): 4:44pm On Dec 30, 2020
This still makes sense too.
So imagine someone say you need something upwards of 50kva for a slightly smaller build.
No madam bedroom, pent house, open void.

Thanks
