This is what the leaders should have been doing...

Where is "Pastor" Osibanjo?

J111333:
"Democrats have a significant pre-Election Day lead"



Initial gra gra as expected.
Meanwhile, my vote is for the boss.

And who cares

Bringing down the walls so the excavator can enter the land and work.......

Will the excavator be used to dig the foundation?

It is very shameful that Buhari have not publicly addressed the nation on this issues. ( unless I missed it).

At a time like this, thats when leaders are needed... no need for a spokesperson just live and direct from the boss..

Shameful that so called democratic elected leaders are slowly turning to deaf eared dictators!!!

If Buhari and the politicians are not careful, this will turn to Arab spring like protests... well, not like they cared anyways

It’s not frameless window, it’s called “ cutting wall window” the frame used to fabricate this type of window is more bigger than regular casement window frame only that you will not noticed the Frame from outside.

We did same here for NL member sometimes ago.

Window size determine the cost

Thanks for throwing more light on this, your explanation makes sense...

I was thinking, frameless windows ke

Thanks for sharing!!

coldcandy:
Any fabricator of frameless casement windows here?

Is this your project or are you looking to replicate this on your site?

I am not a fabricator by the way, I just have few questions.

I understand people's choice and all but why frameless? How would a frame less window hold up in a long run?

Just curious to know if there are science behind this design or just an overambitious fabricator overshooting the runway..

michlins:
please eh. Where are you people finding land for 1ml to 10ml?


Here in Nnewi, a 50 by 60 plot of land goes for as high as 50ml depending on the location. For areas with geographical issues like erosion or maybe very bad roads, starting price is #10ml. My landlord son sold his inheritance land with no single structure apart from small farm of cassava and bitter leaf for #30ml. This was three months ago

That's really estate for you.

Nnewi, Onitsha, Some parts of Awka are high price area in Anambra State.

It is just like buying a garage like house in San Francisco for $1.5m and buying a mansion for 400k - 600k in the Midwestern states.

A friend purchased a 4 bedroom bungalow in Onitsha for 25m to knock it down and build 4 decking.

Man pass man no be boasting

Real estate are generally pricey in the East than anywhere else in Nigeria.

I remember a post here a while back someone was saying they can't buy land of more than 500k.. I was thinking wow... that's interesting!!

In a sane environment a load this long and wide will have restricted travel.. traveling when there's less traffic

MrOkenwa:
Hello home owners/Realtors/engineers, kindly advice. which one would you advice ; Units of apartments in a bungalow setting or units of same in a story building?.

Condition of land: Dry, relatively cheap( Range of 2-3m naira per plot)
Apartments, when completed are to be rented out.

And to be more practical: Between 4 units of 2bedroom apartments in a bungalow setting and same in a story building, Which of these is advisable?. Short and long term.

Another thing to consider tho is the location.

Where will this project be located?

If in the East.. brother me, just build upstairs. People are not too keen to rent bungalow.

Cost wise a bungalow will be cheaper..

But...

considering the high cost of materials now.. it might cost between 2.5 to 3.2 m for decking but again you add a flat upstairs is an equivalent of buying another plot of land. So the flats upstairs that will give you an "additional space as another bungalow " the cost will offset itself.

The shutter, remote and the transceivers plus installation cost.

The attached quote is for just 6 window.

Wow, that's one hefty bill .

I am still shaking in my shoes!!

n3xt:
There are great designs here but the price.

Price starts from #600k

The price tab of 600k, what does it include?

EgunMogaji2:
Thank you Sir.

It’s a Mediterranean bungalow with a central courtyard. I bought the plan out of Florida and had a local architect Nigeranize it for me.


I reduced the windows not only due to the cost but also based on the flow of the house and how I intend to use it. It’s still pretty bright and airy on the inside due to the central courtyard.

Beautiful design you've got there.. lot's of light, very airy.

That's almost close to my ideal floor plan.

But what I am still trying to figure out is how to make the house not look like a jailhouse with the door/window protector??

Are you going to be using the traditional jail house protectors prevalent or you have a modified design up your sleeves?

Someone asked me, painting before tiles or tiles before painting..

I don't remember the exact order I used.

I told him, it doesn't matter I hope I didn't lead him astray?

They have gone very far ahead technologically, every move is always about more job creation for more welders, builders, technicians, transportation, materials dealers etc, that's why there's job after school and school dropout alike. Every year the always find ways to expand to accommodate more people.

Wheew! My niece and nephews do go out of state for robotics competition.. this kids are 12 -14 years old, their school even traveled to Japan to compete. I was quite mesmerized when I attended one of their events.. I couldn't believe little kids that young could put things like that together...

But in 9ja a final year student or even graduate student could put two pans together with a wheel barrow tire and aye yeah!! They built a car

Our government are nose deep in oil.. politicians empower youths with goats, sewing machine and Keke napep.

O laud have mercy on us!

davodyguy:
Which state is this?

LASG just increased assessment fee by 120% Sanwoolu is looking for revenue badly

Imo state. Owerri

I just saw this requirement for building approval in one of my what's app groups...

I find it very disturbing, often times we see building collapsing etc.. the officials are just after the money, not necessarily giving a darn about the building itself..

Although I am a certified Nairaland trained Engineer but how can one in good conscience ask for a certificate of fitness, site analysis report, letter of structural fitness for a building that have not been built?

You pay registration fee, then automation fee, then application fee and processing fee for the same building plan... plus inspection fee and approval fees

9jiria is really jagajaga

EgunMogaji2:
That’s due to the economics of an available cheap labor pool.

And we have advanced technologically, after all we’re not building roofs from palm tree leaves anymore and are using aluminum

omanzo02:
Staslhandel Van Zijl NV, Rotterdam.
Metalhandel Christiaens, Eeklo, Belgium.
MetaalGaller also in Belgium to name a few.

They are big metal warehouse/factories where you can order base on your requirements, it will be produced and delivered to your site. They also produce for known brands.
If you need reinforcement rebar all they need is the measurements, specifications or project drawing.
I have been in these warehouse, the choices are too enormous, there you realise how advanced human technology has gone.

Very impressive...

Folks are out there advancing technologically, we are still using mallam to dig borehole by hand.. people are still manually digging foundation for a housing project...

Oh , it is well!!

Wow, people eat every thing this days...

spyder880:
Happy weekend to you all my friends, we gather here once again to build another new house for one of us here. Details of this new house is below;

Project: New construction of a block of 6 flats of 2 bedrooms (One storey)
Location: Enugu city, Enugu state
Client: A Nairalander
Architect: Soch Designs
Duration: 120 days (carcass)
Budget: To be announced later


Work is planned to start fully by this new week, expect the usual detailed explanation of the processes and challenges of building this type of house in this unique environment.

Welcome.

Oga mi, what's the size of the plot of land for this build?

n3xt:
They do.

See below.

Ok thanks. Good to know.

I have got a question oh... almost all the new build both commercial and private.. people tile tile every where some even tile exterior of the house join.

My question is, do people factor in how the weight of the tiles increases the steady load the house is carrying and tiles could weigh a ton.

Do structural engineers accommodate this during the design stages of the house or people assume ehn ehn the house is strong?

Just curious.

n3xt:
Check out sika sealant. I get it from Mushin. There are wider range used for different applications.

Thanks

Any ideas on any kind of water resistant sealant that could seal gaps between the bottom of the kitchen cabinet and the kitchen floor tiles?

One the 11th Month, you should issue the Quit Notice, so that its expiry date coincides with the end-date of the Lease.
For an "Annual Rental", you should issue the Quit notice to end with such date too, six months earlier, as that is the requirement of the Law.

Yes, LEASE are inline with tenancy Laws in Nigeria. It is just a type of tenancy.
It can be fixed or even fixed Certain.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this ..

Not every lawyer that deals in real estate knows this.

So people be careful when consulting with a lawyer.

One thing to add tho, do you forsee trouble with some tenants or you just want to hit the reset button and be on the safe side?

You could void the current tenancy agreement. Be careful tho, and read your own agreement so you don't shoot your self in the foot.. see what terms you could void the agreement. Then draft up a memo something that sort of reconcile that , states the tenancy was voided with mutual consent bla bla bla.... This will be sort of like a letter from the tenant to you. Even though you drafted it, the tenant will write their names on top like they wrote it and sign, you sign plus a witness.

Then, have them sign a lease agreement... but please don't be greedy..make the new lease agreement free, don't go and charge them another 50k . Otherwise they will be hesitant, start asking questions etc... might derail your plan or make it tough for you to actualize.

Or easy enough, just change Management company and instruct the new company to use lease agreement that is favorable to both parties, you ( the landlord) especially

He wants to gain sympathy votes

If this was his reason... he failed woefully...

Recall, he downplayed covid as a hoax, mocked people wearing masks, people have died and are still dying...

This is a case of the biter bit

Karma is a bítch

I thought he said it was a Hoax by the democrats??

Is he going to Inject bleach or use the hydrochloroquine like he recommended?
