Architectural designs can be subjective, usually in designs of residential buildings a level of compromise should be achieved between the designers knowledge and the clients needs and requirement, in reality it is a 50-50 situation. This is the reason why homeowners should be actively involved in the conceptualization of their designs. Why guests toilets are positioned in the foyer or lounge areas of the buildings usually is to maintain privacy, owing to the fact that foyers and lounge are a semi public area where guests have not too restricted access. It is only right to place the toilets there to avoid the guests getting to know what goes on in other parts of the building which might be private. A smelly and unkept guest toilet is a function of hygiene and not an Architectural failure, after all people go to toilets of big hotels and establishments to take pictures and dress up. A guest that messes up your toilet should not get an invite another day lol. PS: The design here is a 4 bedroom bungalow with a pent apartment. 2 Likes

The earliest known building code. Zoom in to see the interpretations at the base. Men meant business back then.

UC92:and I'm sure their quotations were not scrutinized back in the day. If you told a client it's 16mm rods that is required he has no authority to argue. Look at the pyramid of Egypt, built with so much precision and accuracy because it was slaves working then and they knew the implication if they get cute on the job. Thousands of workers were exercuted to out fear into the others and compel the to do the right thing. The only question then was if you are qualified for it compared to today where a client tells you that baba suliat has built 4 girls hostels and has 20years experience in construction. Brace yourself up for more building collapse in the future, we are even lucky today there are more safety implementations so on an eventual building collapse it will be 10-15 persons dying because back in the day when a stone weighed as much as 80kg, a whole lineage was wiped out in a single catastrophe. |

gbengress1:You welcome. But next time, not only You but others, always query your Engr/Artisans when a quotation is sent to You. So we can Know how to address your questions accurately. Concrete Septic Tank system is always costly to erected. I can't say the Quotations is outrageous but you can talk to him to beat down the materials and workmanship fees. |

Coiner:I used 16mm in some of the septic tanks that I did in the past because the spaces also serve as car park. Not sure of the exact quantities of the materials because they were side jobs while the main buildings were being built. Buy your materials yourself and pls don’t suggest lesser materials. A poorly built septic tank/soak away is a disaster waiting to happen. 1 Like |

Regarding the issue about VT in living rooms. I don’t think there’s any pleasant way to hide this inside a small footprint of a small apartment. It is what it is.

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by diordaves(m): 3:57pm On Jan 21, 2023 |
EgunMogaji2: You made a very important point: small space. So let me start from the beginning with the assumption that VT is a must. Academically speaking, I will reject this plan with the VT in the living room. It is possible architecturally not to put the VT in the living room and still have a great plan. Now let's assume I bought this building from you, like you said, it is what it is. The improvement I will make will include closing off the toilet door to the living room and place the door in the entry pouch. So visitors access the VT from the entry pouch. I've seen this done. This will mean doing a floor to ceiling burglary proof in the entry pouch to prevent unauthorised access to the VT. 3 Likes |

somehow:Oh okay, yours is hidden rightly, but i see movement won't be easy in that lobby in front of the visitors toilet door, yours seems better to me. No plan is perfect though. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by somehow: 4:46pm On Jan 21, 2023 |
BrickDevo: Yes you're right. If one or both doors open indoors, then not much an issue. And I don't envisage much traffic in that lobby. |
