Hello Family. How.much does an average architectural design for a four bedroom. I am looking at contacting someone for this. Thank you.
Architectural drawing will cost about N80k and up to N100k with 3D model views.
But if you are actually referring to a complete set of Building drawings for approval which includes Structural, Electrical, Mechanical then up your budget to N200k as its a multidisciplinary effort.
I hope this helps.

I saw something new today and would want to share it here. Instead of wasting wood on forming beams, why can't we use many of two matching (twin) pieces of hollow angled pre-cast concrete blocks that would look like mini gutter shape ( about 1M length each} where the rods would be placed in and the concrete mix poured in permanently?

Hahahaha, are you serious toilet inside kitchen.

Infact I believe they turn the store in the kitchen to toilet and there was no way they could create a door to link the sitting room . Funniest thing someone was living there before it was not a new house .

cool

Go to your concrete block maker and you’d be shocked to see that the hollow block method is more expensive than the traditional wood method.

You might be right but that could be a talking point for the tree conservationists, however not me.

For any Civil Engr to give you such advice you need to attach the foundation drawings/design.
Note that bearing capacity and insitu soil conditions vary from site to site even within the same locality, thus eliciting deferent type of foundations such as Pad, Pile or even Ground beams.
That said , I believe you should have a bill of quantities or BEME which will answer your question

Reputable construction companies use steel shutters not to conserve wood but because its more cost effective for then. But the use of pre cast members which you refer to is more expensive but adopted when a faster project delivery is desired.

Could an ignore user button have worked here sir?



I became who I am today working for a man who hated me grin grin
As a matter of fact, I hit it big from his friend whom he claimed was not a paying client. I can still remember him asking those in the office whom he can send to the guys project because he’s not a paying client grin grin

I helped the guy work on the project right in front of Tinubu’s house in Bourdillon and within 2 weeks I started getting up to 1 million per week (almost 2 decades now) and connection to high fliers.

But since yahoo, it seems humility is no longer a virtue.

Despite how harsh my boss was, I served him very well.

I don’t know much, but this I know. My retirement time resource is precious to me and I’m not wasteful with it. So on Twitter for example I block regularly even those that haven’t affected me negatively. Once I get the cut of your jib that it’s deplorable, off you go.

I’ve been asking Seun for this feature for at least a decade. I suspect that his bottom line enjoys the occasional fracas.

The VIP escaping the filter on your site won’t work for me.

It will not go through if the purchase is more than $100.
That's cbn's new regulations to dissuade us from buying more in dollars.
You will av to open a domiciliary account if you wanna have successful transaction.

Thank you Sir, for sharing your experience! I Personally Appreciate this!

Although While I was working, with my boss, At first I thought he was Nice! My colleagues that I met @ his place always complain about his attitude, but I used to preach to them to "calm down". After a month , he started showing me his disgusting attitude, he would literally complain at every little that I do, he made feel that i was useless, it got to a point I could not take it Anymore' So when he says something ridiculous I would stand & defend Myself! working with him was Like Hell! The Man is Really Complicated.

Well partially true.
Sawmill, Bendel saw all refer to the complete dimension. That is if you are buying 2x6 timber, when you measure with your tape, it will be 2incheS by 6inches and straight.
