kay29000: 7 million? Maybe I will just kukuma build a regular bungalow then. My guy, check YouTube videos and compare the cost, it is cheaper when you compare what you will get with what normal bungalow can give you at the same amount |

kay29000: I've been thinking of this tiny homes since I saw a few videos of it on Instagram... A couple of the ones I saw were in the woods/forest... Off the grid. That's actually what caught my attention. I have a half plot of land somewhere in Ibadan... The outskirts. I've been thinking of building a tiny home on the land when I gather money.
How much do you think it will cost me to build a 2 bedroom tiny home? 7 million max, a 20ft container sells about 500k, is not cheap you will also need quality wood for decking |

EgunMogaji2: If I remember correctly, there was a concern that it didn’t have an ante room and a dedicated VT. Ante room is surplus to requirements, there's some kind of a decorated entrance, some rooms don't have closet even, shows client is on a tight budget and wants to keep it simple, that plan is ok, please what is VT? Tbh most house plans can't be 100% perfect, unless the exterior design will look awful and complex. |

diordaves: This is a sprawling four-bedroom bungalow with THREE CAR GARAGE. Despite the size, more than 95% of the design has access to natural ventilation and sunlight.
Notice BEDROOM can you see how the verandah is helping to pour breeze and sunlight into the house?
Most of these are just my personal choice on how I live but the three non-negotiable elements are present: there is the flow, next to non-dark spaces, and very superb ventilation. I would argue that a house must have 95% access to natural ventilation and lighting, if it doesn't have 95% that does not make it a bad design. Yet in this your building reference some places lacks natural lighting and perhaps ventilation too, even that bath looks impractical to me, coming from a plumber's point of view. I feel if you can get 70% of lightning then it is okay, another thing people tend to neglect is orientation, there's a way you position your building even if you have just one window air will find its way in, but will not stay for long.

Gigaset: Thank you very much sir for taking your time to check, this is the pdf file the design is not that bad, might need some rearrangements, i feel some rooms are too narrow and should have more than one window, Room 01, 02, 03, the users might feel a bit uncomfortable, but that depends if you will have constant electricity and provide Artificial means of ventilation, if the kitchen can be swapped with the room 03 better so you can put window adjacent to each other. A total of 4 rooms and only one is cross ventilated, that is not good. For the mosque i don't know much about it. Even as it is the plan would work but natural ventilation would be lacking. |

somehow: I need an expert door builder.
Not sure why I want custom doors.
Any idea of what I should do door wise?
Not keen on imported doors. Dunno why. I have someone that can do that in dwellins international in okota, very solid cossy door, that is if you are looking for something sturdy and not cheap, they have been making custom designs for clients. Wardrobes, doors and furniture in general.

The problem is that some western powers especially in Europe, don't like Libya and its aspiration, during the time of Ghadifi your plan would have worked out well, but same as Nigeria, some hungry Libyan sabotages was used to destroy Libya and made us believe ghadifi was a terrorist. Now Libya is finished. sorry oh |

abuiltech: All my takes are due to my inclination(MEP) I'm not an architect, you know it better, but safety wise do you think its ok, having kitchen and dining door the way it's? I stand to be corrected,
For the masters bedroom : as I said earlier all the bedroom toilets should be accessed from inside not outside, this means after moving the wardrobe, we are having centralised toilet door i understand, for the kitchen that door is not bad there for L shaped kitchen cabinets arrangement, it show be opening inwards. To avoid collision and provide lighting into the lobby, that lobby door should be removed, any collision would be avoided by removing that lobby door and creating an arc there. For the masters bedroom you are correct |

abuiltech: In order to have your TV wall and safe circulation, effective toilet layout, It will be nice if you can relocate few doors, wardrobe and toilet, ensure that all the toilet are been accessed from bedroom, check the attached pics for your perusal, congrats in advance, have a joyous build, For the masters bedroom, the arrangement is okay, recommending the entrance door to the masters bedrooms be moved as you indicated will mean that toilet is for everyone instead of the masters and that is not Good at all. The wardrobe relocation will maximise space as you rightly suggested, but i feel it should be in close proximity with the bathroom. Imas007 |

I feel that original door location is ok, it allows L shaped cabinet arrangement which is recommended, then no door for the loby let there be an opening with arc above to throw in soft light there, and allow users see if someone is coming out from the kitchen avoiding collision during movement, they can put a curtain there for privacy.

People who respect a woman had good mothers and that robbed off on them. But you see all these misogynists,it stems from their terrible experience with their mothers so they grew up hating women and attack people who appreciate women Oga oh!  |

KolaShangOne: Disadvantage will probably be the extra cost of rebars.
What she's saying is that.. Do not think your secret beams are doing the work that beams (with depth) are designed to do.
They don't prevent slab deflection.
And its better to reduce the rebar spacing for a slab than introduce "secret beams" ok i understand, thanks |

cbmfi: Good afternoon house. I finally joined nairaland because of this thread. I have been here as a guest for a while and I have learnt so much. Thank you all for the useful contributions and insights. God bless you.
I’m thinking of starting my project by January and see what I can achieve by the end of next year. I have some questions though:
Can 5 million raise a 4 bedroom bungalow from foundation to roofing? Please bear in mind that the land was previously a fish pond but that has been discontinued for over 5 years but the pond area is still open and wasn’t filled.
Also gurus in the house recommend a good hand for house plan. Its a 30x120 half plot, I want a sexy (lol) 4 bedroom plan.
NB: if you’re a drawer, please don’t contact me. I’ll only reach persons referred to me by the people I consider as well versed on the thread. Thank you. Welcome, sadly 5 million won't be enough, you need up to 9 million or more for the carcass, but that depends on the house design and requirements , i can help you design a modern bungalow, contact is in my signature and link to my thread, never forget prices are flexible and negotiable. |

Aforxzy: The effectiveness of a beam is the function of its span and depth. This means that the longer the span, the deeper the depth.
A beam whether rectangular or flange needs adequate depth against deflection. When you put a hidden beam in a slab of say 150mm thick, the beam does not have enough depth and will deflect. Also the reinforcements required for such beam if design will be much as againt those provided by the iron bender. So invariably the hidden beam does not prevent deflection of the slab.
The right thing is to reduce the spacing of the reinforcement or increase depth of the slab. nice, could it be that it saves cost, that's why people are doing it, but so far so Good, deflection rarely happens where hidden beam was used, |

Aforxzy: I was on a site yesterday to resolve a structural issue and the iron bender suggested putting a hidden beam on the slab. This I have noticed on alot of sites even some owners do it.
I told him no and he said he knew I won't accept he goes along with it.
The issues of hidden beam on a slab is a bad practice and is fast becoming a norm. It makes no sense and has no technical or structural backing. |
