Browne Mews by NextHome | Contemporary Fence Precast Coping

Sometimes, it just have to be unique!

Foundation walls are poured!!

Today saw some welcome progress on Browne Mews, with the pouring of the foundation walls. A week after we broke ground, we finally pour the foundation walls. It was perfect sunny weather for concrete work. The total pour time was about 10 1/2 hours.

We thank God for perfect completion!

@Holarwoomey,

Thanks for prospecting NextHome. Here's my response in green below.

I love the way you give your updates, more grease to your elbow. I have learnt a lot from this small thread.

NextHome: Love this. Tells me that you have class. It takes patience and passion to deliver updates in such format.

Please in case you need more hands, I am a recent graduate with HND in Civil Engineering, I have up to two years working experience in the construction and real estate sector and just finished my NYSC last month.

NextHome: I need good hands and not just any hands. Committed, Experienced and Energetic. More importantly whose got an eye for details and not an eye-on-the-money which is always the case. Proactive, creative, innovative and ability to work with little or no supervision.

I am proficient in the use of AutoCAD for drafting, Microsoft office packages, social network platforms, site supervision, quantity estimation and I can communicate orally and verbally.

NextHome: I'll be more interested in your areas of weakness and area of core competence and more importantly the new things you can bring to NextHome. So while preparing your cover letter, you should know what to fill in.

I just need an opportunity to be in the industry in order to gain more experience and not to stay idle. I won't mind little financial assistance though.

NextHome: We will see but next time, it's better not to say it at all. Maybe to someone like me. Everyone needs money. That's the essence of having a job. You have bills and expenses. You need to look good and presenting to the business. You need to be fulfilled in order to be effective.

NextHome: I like people who dot their "i's" and cross their "t's" who chooses to do things differently. Shoot me an email!

Part of the contract is that the Builder will keep the site free from debris and waste products that can injure or harm visitors to the site

Trust me, I lay emphasis on safety. May God help us to provide all the necessary PPE wears to the workmen. Na small, small!

It will be exciting and worthy to share some of our site operation checklists at a much later time on this thread. Maybe a DIYer could benefit from a structured operation like ours.

End of Day 7 | What was achieved

Yesterday, I had a business meeting with one of my bank (Zenith Bank Plc) at the site. We discussed business support in 2016 and Bank Guarantees among many other things tops the list. If you don't know what it is, Bank Guarantees are a legal tool devised to secure the deposits of off-plan buyers (especially overseas client in our own case) should their properties not be delivered on time or satisfactorily completed.
Next year, we intend to do a lot of off-plan sales and we are working hard to allay the fears of our client. We knew Off-Plan purchases has many advantages and also have a long list of associated risks. These risks we intend to take care of before we get off ground. 2016 is going to be a lot more exciting!

Yesterday's Deliverables

1. Fence formwork removed and base back filled.
2. Block production advances. We added additional 526 blocks delivered today.
3. Installation of steel shutters completed. Ready to pour.
4. All concrete equipment tested and serviced to ensure smooth operations. We tested the vibrating poker. Our 5kva generator was serviced. Concrete mixer was fueled, greased and oiled for smooth running.
5. All site support vehicle stationed on site to ensure a hitch free operation during the concrete pour.
6. Final checks prior to casting done.

spyder880:
Not sure at all, "5 ton" is more like the name of the truck, not the quantity of sand in it. I had to choose this size among three other trucks of varying prices. As long as the sand in each trip can make me 9-10 bags of cement = 270-300 blocks, am good.

Which means we fit get 5 tons down, 5 tons up, 5 tons Bambam, 5 tons orobo.

EgunMogaji:
How sure are you my Oga?

You should have asked sir "Is that your final answer?" Or "Do you want to use any of your lifeline?"

EgunMogaji:
I do salute you for looking outside the borders and trying new things. Nothing infuriates me more than hearing "na naija we dey" or "na so we dey do am".

For my kitchen and garage ceiling, I will be using fire retardant drywall instead of the decking that is common. Yeah it's not fire proof like a decking but the emphasis should be on prevention instead of wasting all that cement/granite/sand on decking and pillars.

Good job Sir.

Here's the thing that has worked for me during my IT years and now. "Prevention is BETTER than cure."

Oversabi dey worry us at most times. More like "impulse buying"

No offense intended o.

And so NextHome' 1 bag Concrete Mixer was christened "W2927"

So don't get it twisted NextHome W2927 is now live.

Guess who's checking us out. Naija's baddest rapper is in the neighborhood and can't seem to take his eyes off our work at the Browne Mews.
As Mr. Giwa (the shopkeeper), I wanna sell to everyone including the celebrities.

NextHome | The Creative Juice is flowing.

Looking beyond the borders has made our operations more efficient and innovative than the static competitions. We've gained a lot of insights on other continents on alternative methods to get the job done. Attending trade shows, conferences and seminars gave us the leverage.

Oga EgunMogaji, if a contemporary loving client make a request for a bungalow in a low density area, the first thing I wanna give him/her is the WOW factor. And that will starts from the fence.

Check out this simple, cheap and classy fence design. I'm sorry this may not apply to all. I'm not a fan of all those "shaworo jigbene" designs o.

EgunMogaji:
Very nice fence design.
I have grandeur design like this in mind for the future but I have to wait to adjust the design until after I start living there 75 to 100 percent. Isunkuns Iranmus
But in the mean time, no one else have this design of my entrance. I call the inset space the "Kill Zone" - more on that later

We know you na. Iron sharpeneth Iron.

I love contemporaries!

We have designs that do not only function and perform well. They will outlast the owners.

Browne Mews by NextHome | Keeping the dogs in and the deers out.

Not so many people are in touch with modern designs. Just a handful of the oldies have the passion for contemporary structures. When you find a bubbling 65 year old Nairalander who is not only in touch with modern day realities but also an epitome of good looks, one's got to learn some secrets.

My client wanted a fence like no other fence in the area. A fence that is reasonably affordable, fast to build and very sturdy. And trust me, I've got just what he wanted.

The type of fence you choose will not only play a key role in your home’s exterior design, but also provide one of the most important benefits of all homes; security.
Here are the fence designs that gives a warm and welcoming feeling to its owner.

Let's see what the Oga will pick this time.

Oga Spyder880!

Me and You? Hmm, be like ... Nice work all the way.
