areas like Port Harcourt usually do something like this. They have access to pipeline pipes which are extremely durable.

Good evening everyone,

Please I need help, advice and suggestions on the following:

1. Is it compulsory to do nitel round the building or only on parts like doors and windows location?

2. Is it adviseable to put parapet on a building intended for rent? If yes, what should I estimate for it? Please see floor plan below.

3. How many blocks should I estimate from DPC level to nitel for the floor plan below?

I am asking this because the engineer quote over 500 more blocks than needed from foundation to DPC level and I lost some money in the process.

PS: This is a relatively small building for rent purpose and future plan is to start the major building once this is completed like a storey building.

This is how I want my kitchen to look.

Good day engineers in the house,
Pls i need professional insight as to know if I can extend or continue a building pillars with 16mm iron ROD having 12mm in the foundation after the initial error on the 12mm thickness as stated in the above write up.

Thanks in anticipation of your earliest professional response

Charisdesigns:
Valid point.
By standard, each apartment is supposed to have parking space that will accommodate 2 cars at least.

But in this case, we don’t have the luxury of that, because of the land size.

Looking at the building and compound, more cars can be packed by side and front, reposition the gate.

Is 10m enough to build a modern styled 4 bedroom bungalow. With pop,tiles and other basic fittings?

rotecch77:
There are others cheaper materials out there to be used but @arbo contractor Ltd ( Rotech) we have set standard for our work.
You know when you used good materials for your conduit system / surface system it will safe cleint a lot in future in terms of maintenance and rest of mind
If someone can afford to build duplex or standard bungalow then it will not be wise to use cheap low cost materials for such structure.

olukaygold:
Placing of the pre-cast linted. Ratio for the casting 4 headpan of sharp sand and 5headpam of gravel with 1 bag of cement gave us five pre-cast linted of 4ft while above casting ratio gave us three pre-cast linted of 7ft

olukaygold:
Roofed and Aluminium Span installed.with 0.45 gauge for the aluminum long span, I spent a total of 360k for this

rotecch77:
The double walling is designed for security reason and noise cancellation.
Purpose of lintel on this section is to cover any void portion like door, windows etc
So the wall there didn’t need such
I believed I have answered your question
Thanks

A drum is 20 litres. I meant he would get a good deal from a product that claims could cover 240 sqm.

gbadexy:
Ok sir, I can get you something similar to dulux trade the imported variant but you would be prepared to pay for it even though it would still be very cheap in cost comparison.
Even at that, that would be for one coat which I still doubt the practicality of that.
You will get a good deal from that product as a drum would literally cover 8 standard rooms or 2 units of 2 bedroom flats.

EgunMogaji2:
Here is one.
I really like such mosiac looking tiles for bath and toilet
Its very unique.
I shall get one when ready.
Boss, do you have a picture of where this has been used? Thanks.

topsy23:
But remember you have to run the cables before POP. Cabling and POP can be done same time. It will be difficult to run the cable after closing up the ceiling ..

This is permanent concrete parapet, just like the normal concrete parapet, the only different BTW this and the concrete parapet is that we use these iron modal in picture attach to this comment instead of woods we use for concrete Parapet, I hang these modal, then we put iron rods inside to hold modal with last blocks before we cast, then after that the roof beam will be attach, it more reliable than precast, because as long as the building exist, which it will, the permanent concrete parapet stand

Good evening everyone,

Can I please get your opinion about this floor plan for a 4 bedroom apartment?

Thank you!

The issue is multifaceted.

The woodwork industry like every other industry in Nigeria continue to suffer years of lack of investment. To adopt wood as a solution in the building sub-trade, a nation needs a timber subsector (industry/factory) that can kiln or naturally season dry timber and then CUT THE TIMBER STRAIGHT into various sizes for retail purchase to make kitchen cabinets and internal and external doors and windows.

Due to lack of investment over the years, sawmills up and down the country to date still use machines dating way back before independence to saw raw unseasoned timber into sizes for retail purchase. The results are bent wabbled timber not seasoned. It is a challenge to use such poor quality timber to build kitchen cabinets, doors and windows even with the requisite skill and training.

So the adoption of MDF/HDF which are to a large extent seasoned and cut straight is the classical Nigeria short cut ready made and pure water approach to life.

Another fall out of the lack of investment is the death of the apprenticeship scheme in Nigeria since the introduction of okada/Keke business in the 1980s. The young ones who are not academically inclined have not being encourage by the government to learn a trade like carpentry, joinery or woodwork. So they take the short cut route to employment by riding okada/Keke for business. Senior tradespeople were also not encouraged to continue to offer apprenticeship schemes to the young. The technical colleges/school suffer same neglect by successive government. So today we don't have skilled woodworkers, joiners or carpenters. What we have are just fly by night cut and join pretenders. These people will struggle to put together a wooden kitchen cabinets of the type you have in mind. You will probably need to import the needed wood and labour for a wood kitchen cabinets solution. But if you want cut and join, dem full.

I don't want to bring politics here but it is easy for me to say that Nigeria would have imploded long ago from youth unemployment if not for the Igbo Nation and their apprentice schemes; boys and girls learning work from their oga/madam. The Igbo Nation apprenticeship schemes empower youths than the oil sector and communication sectors put together but unfortunately this is mainly only in the retail trade (buying and selling). If only the Igbo Nation can also offer same opportunity in carpentry, the situation will be different I tell you.

Not until we focus on trade skills instead of paper qualifications, wooden kitchen cabinets as a widespread solution in Nigeria will continue to look like rocket science.

rotecch77:
For exterior wall use weather shield dulux.
For interior use there trade type.
That is if you are going for dulux

I used same here for these two diff buildings
4yrs Ago and 7yrs ago still looking good till today r
No repaint since then.
But I don’t know if it’s still remain same quality ooo although I have some others building that I just painted few years back with same paint and caplux for like 3yrs 2yrs 1yr

Drop your mail or any contact. let me send a sketch to you.

ArcToyin:
It firstly have to do with what you want to have on the land. State your brief first,.

diordaves:
The problem is not the embedded burglary proof. A properly done embedded burglary has 16mm rod (some 12mm) inside the hollow pipe. So the hollow square pipe you eventually see is just for aesthetic. The Koko of the burglar proof is inside the hollow, so very safe.

With the picture you posted, attention should be paid to the spacing of the pipes in the design of the burglary. Also it should be noted that wire thieves can operate from outside without breaking in if the wiring is done by inexperienced electrician or the electrician was careless. There is a technic to secure the cables tentatively as the wiring is on-going.

gbadexy:
The building is in-house and when big bro called to get it renovated, I had to send one of my best hands.
Here are facebook links to the finished job.
