Old Afro-Brazilian style building in Lagos Island renovated and repurposed as flats. A good alternative to demolition.

grin grin. You are right. We were in one guy's house then with my friend and there was a huge blast from a gas retailer shop close by, the POP ceiling came down. I am telling you. That day was one of the most horrible days of my life. My new hair was messed up and my clothes. But we thank God as there were no serious injuries. As much as I am concerned with costs, I wouldn't want to compromise quality.
that's the pop I am warning you about. Close your eyes do quality job.

I am still waiting for "soonest" pictures of pop she did 4200 per sqm. I doubt if ABS pop sells less than 7k especially in lagos

This is beautiful. Old time religion is a school of architecture. Only few can do it.

There is ancient and there is modern. Edo (Benin) children are the worse culprit in ignorantly knocking down beautiful traditional buildings to build monstrousity. So many Edo children have pulled down paradise only to build a parking lot.

Same is said for Ibadan (ancient Oyo Empire) beautiful buildings parked with history. It only takes a son/daughter with 'new money' to knock down centuries of history to put up a flat roof monster with glass, glass everywhere and Chinese metal internal doors to announce they've arrived. But no, they've not arrived. They've knocked down history with their parents spacial legacy and time stamp.

If you inherit such building as a child, before you do anything to the building, you should be asking yourself, if mum or dad's spirit is walking around, would they find their way 'home'? Would they recognise their building?

Foolish children. I will wake up from the grave to give you twelve lashes on your bottom.

Thank you. I've followed this thread on and off for quite some time now and I have learnt a lot from you and many of the other contributors here. My interest was in architecture and I knew nothing about construction until I got here.

Since you mention the staircase, something interesting I saw about the stairs. Floating effect due to ends not touching the wall and how the rails are placed.

okay let’s say I buy from Enugu to deliver to Delta state how much transport will I spend? there are factors to consider when doing business and you’re not putting those into consideration. #7300 is my last price for ABS. And 6800 for “Purity” or “top white”

I understand, prices differ in different locations. I am not saying your prices are too much, just guiding those who might need it in Enugu.

Good morning all. Pls my site is an area with iron and salt. If u do shallow borehole u will get white water and after some hours it will turn brown(sign of present of iron) if you dig Dipper you will end up with salty + iron water.

I have wasted 80k digging borehole and it's salty. Who can help me to dig better one that won't be salty? Only 2 people in my avenue are lucky to have clean water without iron and salt.

I need help!!!
you need geophysical surveying of your location. get a professional geologist or geophysicist to do that.

Haba, some buildings need demolition too sha, though when you redesign some, almost all walls are gone. There's a particular area in Sango in Ibadan where houses are built and vehicles cannot get into the neighbourhood. Great old houses are there but all or more may be brought down when planning the area.
Meanwhile, I agree with Ur perception sir.

As someone in the aforementioned age bracket, this is exactly what we need - forced exercise to keep the ticker pumping.

I used to feel the same way as you but now know better.

May we all use our old age in good health and prosperity.

Good!

My plumber sent this for plumbing work completion. Note that some internal plumbing work has also been done. Are the prices ok for the stated materials? Sorry, the background from where he took the picture looks faint and blurred.

We can not say anything about the quantities because there is no mechanical drawings

Please is this a fair qoute? and if anyone know where one can get good quality ones in Abuja, kindly share.
Buyiing direct from manufactuerer is preferable because of the margins in comparison to buying from open market where one will not be sure of the quality.
cc:NE3T , Rotech, TwinnsKenny etc please help out

Why having 4coils of 16mm? what is the size of your project. Cable manufacturer increase price recently.

A thread on fp as this as definition of c of o, I'm confuse:

A certificate of occupancy is a document issued by a local government agency or building department certifying a building’s compliance with applicable building codes and other laws, and indicating it to be in a condition suitable for occupancy.
We have certificate of Occupancy which is widely known as C of o. This is in two ways depending on the State government. Some saddled the Local Government Chairmen in their state to handle the rural area c of o which is called customary c of o. While the State Government handles the Statutory right of Occupancy for urban area. Take Ogun State as an example, the State Government handles everything on its own. Building approval is issued by the Town Planning Agency while c of o is done by the Bureau of Lands or Ministry of lands of each state.

Please don't blame the children sir. Fail government, upon fail Government and brainless leadership over the years are the problem. This historical building should be classified as landmarks to preserved our history, even if the the owner choose to modified it, it can be only the internal not the external to keep the historical relevance for newer generation. Our politicians are our problem, one of my old friend now politician converted one of our open green area where we grow up together playing football. He converted into an event center. When I asked him why, His respond was the elders of the neighborhood brought the idea to him that's how they converted it to their personal joint ownership imagine.
