Beautiful design. I love the design. The parapet and roof are heavy. The reason for all the columns. The design is a blend of contemporary and traditional bungalow design. Well done

Nice.. Do you have an idea what the current price of 6 inches block and iron rod goes for in Asaba. I am embarking on a project too in that axis but currently not residing there?

Please do you have an idea of how much is a plot of 50 X 100 or 100 X 100 along that axis?

...Thanks boss...am sure you already know the reason for the two columns at the entrance porch.....as for the Two on the both sides of the living room, a look at the 3D, you will notice we have corner windows at those two points....and having those columns there is cheaper than a fully reinforced overhang beams...... please take a look at a place we had a similar use case

Well explained. Could there be a situation where you won't see columns at corner windows and still have openings for the corner windows? I love the beauty that corner windows brings to building

..Yes...In a situation where both beams that met at the corner are continuous( came from a considerable distance), you might not require columns at the corner...the two beams can hang freely( once properly reinforced and depending on the overal span of the overhang and the amount of load you expect ontop of the beam as you continue raising the structure)

Oh okay...I want to buy a land in Asaba.... I'm just looking for a trusted source...

That's if you are having one corner window just below the beams. How do you do it when you want to have like two or three corner windows in the same vertical direction, just below each other without having any column at that corner

Each corner window must have well reinforced free hanging continuous beams meeting at the corner ontop of the corner window opening, separating it from the next....in cases where there is need, u can add courses of block on the beams depending on the space you need between the first and the next corner window

I love the discussion here.
Keep it coming, OP. I'm following.

Day 9.... ready for lintel

Leveling and precast concrete fascia ongoing

Still very much in progress .......time for concrete fascia....
NB: client requested change of the round columns at the entrance porch to square columns

I observed you're using solid blocks, rather than hollow blocks.

Is there any specific reason for this preference?
I'm curious if it wouldn't be preferable to use hollow blocks, because they are better at temperature regulation.

Rounding up with the precast fascia installation

If you don't mind sir, how much does it cost for the carcass alone

Please can we see the plan? An estimate required to finish it thanks
