Good morning everyone,
I bought a land from a real estate firm around April. They told me the survey plan would be ready in 3 months(july). It is October now and I am yet to get the survey plan. Does getting a survey plan take this long? What should I do pls? I have the deed.

Call them and ask them for the reason. Since your details are sketchy, you might not get feedbacks.E.g. What state? What local govt? Name of company?

It’s nice catching up with a home theater hobbyist. I’ve been a member of avsforum for more than 2 decades.

Dolby Atmos is a big name to consider if you want to heighten your home cinema surround sound experience.

Bros we are not many in this parts. I currently use a 5.4.2 Dolby Atmos speaker system from Samsung. Bros watching Dolby content has been a life changer. Movies like Gravity, Saving Private Ryan, Lord of The Rings Have been a joy to watch in Atmos. It brings the room alive.

The height sound is so immersive they are times I find myself move my head to avoid an helicopter flying over head. Or look up at the ceiling to check for electric spike or window if it is raining.. Glad that Apple is heavily promoting height sounds so we would see more speakers supporting this great feature.

My goal for next year is to upgrade the TV to 75 inch using LED tech with lots of local dimming to reduce blooming. I don't have money for a dedicated home theatre system but I would get good automated blinds that convers the windows automatically when a movie is being played. (Using home assistant)

Wow nice one. Would be interesting to know the speaker system to be deployed. One of my fun hobbies is home speaker and audio system.

It is incredibly hard to get modern cinema Audi system in Nigeria likes of in ceiling Dolby Atmos or DTSX native 7.4.2 speaker systems is hard to find unless you are bringing from abroad

Been setting up home automation for sometime now.. I usually import all my speakers and amp

We only gat one life, live it to the fullest!

One of my bosses is doing 83” Ai ThinQ Smart TV and I’m like “Should we do that thing for him ni?” grin
I’ll just give him the simplest Dolby Atmos setup - HomePod 15.1 + Apple TV 4K - for lossless audio.

Give him 80 bags

Let’s assume you’re using 4 bags per room which is impossible. 80 bags would do fine regardless the size of your project.

Main Lounge - 2
Bedrooms - 5
Kitchen - 2
Dining - 2
Ante Room - 2
Toilets - 7




Does this cover for the outside areas too?

Have you seen sample of Alucoboard made gate before? It would be interesting to see that. The finishing will look more beautiful but the durability may not be good.

Over to you n3xt. Take on the challenge

I haven't seen it before..

But I know its possible.

Michlins, Muyesky, and other guys can take up the challenge too..

I'm currently working on using flat bars for laser cut design..

Thanks bro. Money good o just a bit over my budget sha. My sweet spot is around 500k for double front door and single back door sad

Is there a chance I can get a strong reliable security door. Doesn't have to be bullet proof. (I believe whatever would make someone shoot at your door, it's better you just open it for them. Your security is already compromised. Such person can easy come through the roof or shoot through the windows)

I am sure there are doors that will cost around or below N500,000 total for both the double and single. As long at they are normal sized 2100mm height (7feet) doors. This used to sell for about N170,000 around early 2021. The 3 feet version of it sold for about N95,000 back then.

There are also metal plate types that I used in some past projects. I will look for more pictures later.

Hello sir, It's not supposed to take that long.
You need to go back to the company and complain.
If it's still not ready,ask if you can bring in your own surveyor to do the needful.

Alucoboard is not my thing though. Even stainless steel gates is not something I’m likely to consider too for finishing and strength.

I’d have taken up the challenge but my plate dey full right now. However, there are cool alucoboard sturvs to explore at Qualitik’s in Dopemu, Lagos.

https://www.qualitiks-mart.com/

Na there I dey do my perspex acrylic sheet, polycarbonate, foamboards, wood composite etc.

If you have the Deed of Assignment, was the survey plan not quoted in it? Confirm that what you have is a Deed of Assignment and not a Contract of Sales.

On one hand, the reason the survey plan isn't ready is that the real estate company does not even have a registered survey plan of the parcel of land in their name. What most of them do is to buy a large parcel of land from Omo-onile on credit and remit to them as they sell. The only document they have at this point is the Contract of Sales.

It is until they have finished paying for the land before they can execute a Deed of Assignment and a survey plan in their name.

Until this happens, you can't get a physical allocation of your land and necessary documents such as the Deed of Assignment and Survey Plan (which you are worried about).

On the other hand, it might be a case of land without an appropriate title.

You need to find out which is applicable.

Been setting up home automation for sometime now.. I usually import all my speakers and amp
This is the way if you care for quality home theatre audio Available in the market is appalling the best audio system sold by Fuani house (primary dealer of LG) is a dated 5.2 system that was discontinued sometimes in 2015 by LG and does not even support 4k.

For home automation. I have it integrated with my solar energy management system. The system is set to prioritise the cheapest source of power available at any given time.

Solar if solar is not available then grid if grid is not available then battery if battery drops below a voltage set point then generator.

I also use sonof smart switch to turn off heavy duty appliances like freezers during heavy rain and cloudy. Days when solar is not sufficient.

The whole setup is self running without human intervention mostly DIYed using open source tools like home assistant and some python scripts.

For home entertainment. I have a 60 Terabyte storage system
16TB for an active Network Attached Storage configured in redundant array for fail over in case any one drive fails.

There is a 10Tb active backup of 16tb storage
And 30tb cold storage full of backed up content.

Movies are automatically downloaded by a torrent tracker and saved to the NAS. This means over 2k movies in 1080p and 4ƙ ( including most classics like all James Bond release, all Harry Potter , complete star wars, complete marvel cinematic)

Complete Season of Voltron classic (84)
Muppet babies
Super Ted
Courage The Cowardly dog etc

Internet is handled via fibre for now. However I would be moving to a new place which doesn't have finer so so am preparing a dual SIM cat6 external LTE router which would have MTN and Airtel in failover mode for Internet. The external LTE router comes built in with a 9Dbi gain antenna allowing it pick signals 14km away.
