The knowledge of building Climatology comes to play here. It may interest you to know that windows on the leeward part of the site will receive minimal ventilation no matter their size.
Things like these are considered for thermal comfort in dwellings.

Building Climatology!!! That was when land was cheap and not scarce. When you finish school that is when we know that there is a huge difference between the wall of classroom and reality

Photos of colonial classical architecture with oversized Windows and Doors with oversized headroom from across the Commonwealth. Oh yes! I'm with you on this. I love it. One day I will achieve it. God willing.
This days we have houses with big windows and yet you still can't get fresh breeze like old colonial Architecture. I want to believe this due to poor town planning we have in Nigeria and lack of science or application of Architectural science by Modern day architects. In old Architecture and town planning they consider the direction of wind while planning a town or estate and also architect also orientate the building in favor of breeze direction also their is a.mechanical knowledge input: the hot air rises up while cool air comes thru the down hence the need for a long window with higher lintel level. If you check old houses in Nigeria you will see small opening above the door and window popularly called fanlite. And finally positioning 2 windows facing one another is good for so called cross ventilator but alternating them is the best as it allows for for proper flow of breeze.

Do you have architectural working drawings?

The answer you seek lies in taking off quantity of materials from your working drawings.

This is why I advise building owners to have materials and labour schedule prepared for them so that problems like this would have been resolved at the pre construction stage.

Greetings house... Pls any idea of quantity of cement to plaster a house of 4 No of 2 bedroom flat and 4 bedroom Duplex.

Again, must I do screeding after plastering?

Any recommendation for plastering?

Folks!!

I need a recommendation on borehole drilling.

The results of the geophysical survey recommend 80m with an overburden of 50m.

I have contacted few companies in Ibadan including the one used by @diordaves but they cannot do it because of the overburden.


Location is Mowe.

Don't worry I will do my....................... grin grin grin grin cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy wink wink



I don't know much about Mowe but it seems Mowe is a difficult terrain. Why is that? Do you know? At least with the geological survey you've done has taken the lottery hit and miss out of the equation.

With the survey, water contractors are sincere and honest with you: no I can't do it because of overburden. Way better than fly by night pretenders who will collect money only to turn round for site and then disappear with the advance payment.

Really, I don't know.

The results also suggest hand drilling provided there is a provision for blasting of rocks from 6-8m otherwise not recommended. And that's what one of the companies told me too as their machines are literally interested in drilling rocks. Maximum overburden for them is 30m.

If your site is at mowe, then you should check your Geophysical Survey report. Most likely your report is misleading.

How did you arrive at this conclusion? You didn't enlighten us. Mowe-Ofada

Mowe-ofada is a pure sedimentary terrain. The sedimentary rock units are clay, shale and sandstone in which the sandstone is the aquifer. The minor aquifer is mostly at 40m (this can only be tapped by the manual drillers, the major aquifer is at 80m ( you need a motorised rig to tap the aquifer here)



The report was mentioning overburden thickness and this pertains only to basement/ transition zones. The overburden is the load of sedimentary rock (sand, clay etc) units overlying a basement rock.

Though sedimentary drilling is the most technical, mowe-ofada axis is not that stubborn. Once you don't jeopardise with the right team, right tools, right Casing thickness then the job is a success.

The image attached is one of the rig we used in ofada, you can see its totally different from the Indian rigs. The Indian rigs are majorly created for basement drillings (they love breaking igneous/metamorphic rocks) and once the overburden is much, they won't be able to do the job.

I spend more then that in one of my location 6 years before I bring LARWIN in to make fresh report and start allover after 2 failure. He never drill for me but his report show us the way among 4 different reports I paid for, he did couple other reports for me in different locations without knowing whom I am till date. He came from Ibadan then, I don't know if he still reside there.
