All my doors are locally made..right here in Enugu. Infact the handle sef no fit carry the door. Thats why i asked for that one from Lagos. The door maker is South African trained. Even the former governor of the state patronise him sef. While some door sellers display his doors and sell as foreign
Can you show us his jobs. Many people like me love to patronize locals to create jobs to support our people and economy.

XL6 Trillion | Atrium House by NextHome

The majestic facade of grandeur.

What I love about this build is the creative use of a small plot to achieve a grand opulence with impressive amenities.

In the meantime, we’re not yet done.

Massive build with lots of amenities and ample space for ancillary buildings and parking on small plot.


I love MyNextHome.

For the anti-contemporary geng, contemporary designs are bland and boring because there are just too many deconstructs - no high pitched roofs, heavy window hood designs, monolithic pillars, concrete fascia...

For these class of people, the true meaning of the word “contemporary” is hard to pin down because it’s always evolving to fit a modern context where less is the new more. cool

Contemporary homes are becoming more popular today because they’ve broken the traditions when it comes to changing architectural styles.

The future started yesterday and we are already late. As a designer, our focus should be about getting the next decade right.

Today, less is definitely more when it comes to decorating a modern home.

The question the non-conformists ask themselves is “why should we hide all the amazing architectural details of the design by adorning it with a lot of extra ornamentation?”

A good design is meant to speak for itself, making her own statement through her structure and functionality.

Case Study | Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s House, Oke Bola, Ibadan.

The only maintenance being done on the over 4 decade old mono-pitch roofed house is repainting of the building. cool

I guess the man saw the future when his contemporaries were busy putting sculptures and extra ornamentations on their build.

When we keep it simple, it’ll transcend age and time and we will have good legacies to leave for our unborn generations.

Who is that man who buy a new car and start putting different signs and inscriptions on it just to make it beautiful if not a money-miss road or an agbero?
That’s exactly the way most people build houses these days - putting form over functionality.

Keep it simple. E get why!

Very correct. I wanted to ask the difference between a Welder and an Iron bender. My Structural Engineer goofed big time when I was building as I wasn't around when the building started up to decking level.

It was when we were about to do the decking that I called a seasoned iron bender, with a lot of construction experiences under his belt, to do the iron works for me. On getting to my site, because of some structural defects he saw, he advised places that we needed to put hidden beams, open beams and other reinforcement amendments to support the integrity of the building in certain places of the decking that were not in the structural plan as the building is a lengthy one.

My "COREN" registered structural Engineer agreed with him completely. That was how the building was saved. Since then, I had relied on the iron bender for certain things pertaining to the building.

Engineering is based on three basic pillars; study, experience and practice. By experience, craftsmen such as masons, carpenters and steel fixers have become very good in their crafts. A project manager should know how to find a synergy between the design of the consultant and craftsman advice in order to derive the optimum quality of work.
The existence of unqualified engineers with COREN registration is not far-fetched, this is Nigeria (y’know). Also, COREN registration number does not distinguish between the mechanical engineer and the electrical engineer. In the same vein, your structural engineer might have been certified as a construction engineer and not a structural engineer (you wouldn’t know that).
Another thing is that you Engineer might have agreed to the advices of your iron bender because it wouldn’t have I’ll effect on your building. Structural engineers design using limit state philosophy. See it as the least requirements for a safe structure (more does not hurt).
Quick question: for how much did you commission your “COREN” structural Engineer.
Free advice: do not depend on steel fixers (iron benders) for your structural advice. No matter how good a craftsman is, they can only pass for the grade of a technician. They would not understand the working principles of your structural elements. You just read of the case of one advising his client to buy 8” rods instead of 10”.

Cost of materials and labour are relatively higher in Benin compared to most states. I did some projects there recently. Coupled with the rising cost of construction materials, you can budget 8 to 12m depending on your choices.
