You can still use the granite for the foundation work. You’ll also need it for other concrete works in the house

- lintels and beams
- septic tank and inspection chambers
- fence work
- gate columns
- compound flooring


Cavity wall is the wall that divide your flats.

Fence work has been done halfway with blocks,agte columns also, already erected,

Ok.. How can I guarantee the durability and capability of the stone dust block, these manufacturers seems not to be trust worthy...

Boss Pls recommend

If you need a sure plug for a very strong casement window with embedded burglar proof, I’d suggest you check out emmadejust on nairaland and kobocity.com.

Okay thanks

Oga mi it’s your house. Use any window that gives you pride as you drive up after surviving the day in today’s Nigeria. Making it home is a blessing.

You have a choice, casement or sliding, price wise difference in cost is negligible.

Consider how often you’ll be opening and closing windows. Sliding is super easy when quality materials are used. With casement you have to stick your hand out into unknown.

Good luck on finishing project. Looks fantastic.

Thank you very much

Those who waited in January when cement was 2900 will struggle to buy now that the price is pegged at 3500 - 4,000

Delay is dangerous.

Very dangerous Amigo.

In my opinion, extra money in bank is near worthless investment wise.

I woke up this morning to a request by a client to inspire him the best of naija build in contemporary and vernacular architecture.

More inspiration and best of naija architecture on kobocity.com

Change is inevitable. It’ll be unkind to those unprepared.

#ChangingLandscape

Of all the structures na this one be house that is a HOME. The kerb appeal is warm, well crafted, sincere and full of character that will stand the test of time like a good evergreen song wey no dey fade. Reminds me so much of Ikoyi colonial houses.

The others are just lazy, brutalist and cold commercial disposition masquerading as a home with absolutely no character that will stand the test of time.

Well, ancient and modern: some like in the pot three days old.

One thing you’ll agree with me is “Building masterpiece like this requires great expertise. It’s not in the class of “slap and fix construction”

Exactly. If it’s wider, sliding or projected with fixed can work.

In my opinion it’s someone who invests in at least specific real estate.

I’m not into coins but I’ve heard good returns.

You are correct Sir.

Having a roof over your head or investments in real estate is one of the best forms of investments that lasts a lifetime.

Having a roof over your head is actually not an investment because you are not going to be earning from such.

And yes, investing your fund into real estate is an investment and way better than banking that same fund.

S/he who is into land banking.

Have some liquid cash in the bank for everyday running cost and for the raining day. Anything above this, bank it in land. In Nigeria, if you buy wisely, land banking interest rate is higher than brick and mortar bank.

With land, you buy to wait. You don't wait to buy or else you will buy at the upper end.

With water tower, you harvest gravity to give you good water pressure.

With solar, you harvest the sun energy to give you electricity.

With land, you harvest TIME to give you cash. This is what is meant by TIME na MONEY.

Advice my grandma gave me.

The white pattern on the shingle roof MUST align. This work is not perfect. Did the roofer not notice it?
