Kindly notify if you install Aluco boards.
Also notify if you deal with solar street lights with installation.

@rotecch, thank you for the last time. I have a leak on a roof in ogun state, I would like if I can get recommended to someone good enough to get it fixed as soon as possible. Though the leak is not much yet, but a stitch in time saves nine. Thank you in advance.

Hello guys, I’m currently working on a personal project. (3 bedroom duplex). I’m ijebu, Ogun state. I gave a senior colleague at my former work place my Design’s to help me process approval and one way or the other he kept promising postponing things. Due to rapid increase in cost of materials, I started the project without approval done yet. Now I have gotten to decking stage and still nothing with the approval. so I had to pause to make sure the approval is done before I continue, even though I would have to pay fine now that I’ve started. The process is going fine with the approval and I hope to continue the project next month. You can see the plan and level where the project is at. I would have brought this up here earlier but I was only searching for some solutions when I got to know about naira land and this thread seems perfect as I can easily get recommendations for professionals to use at every part of the construction. Any ideas and critics are welcomed as no one knows it all. I would love to see your views. Also I would like reviews on the roof design I intend using. I have several questions which I would ask accordingly as the project moves forward.

I commend the designer on his/her graphics.

I will advise you introduce more windows on the blank walls in the lounge( I know you may be thinking of having a large TV niche there) and foyer to introduce more light and ventilation.

Your zoning of the reading area is wrong. You can't position a reading area(private) having a strong relationship with a noisy area like the lounge. Secondly the reader may not concentrate as a result of the aroma of the nkwobi emanating from the kitchen. I will suggest you move the reading area to the first floor.

Circulation is okay but fenestration is not too okay.

Thank you for your observations. The reading area is actually not a reading area but a gaming area. Plan on having a ps5 and sofa there. The reading labelling was a mistake.

KolaShangOne:
Good plan..

For me, I would look for a way to cross - ventilate the Master bedroom.

Secondly, the lap length of your rebars are way too small.. That thing is not lapping at all and will affect load transmission. The Engineer should have lapped it before casting the lintels / columns.

Thirdly, I hope you have a structural drawing? Because why aren't columns on those edges?

Lastly, God is your strength. Building is not easy at this time.

Thank you for your comments, it is sincerely appreciated.
Responding to your observations, I attached a view of the drawing showing the elevation. Those parts you marked with an arrow would not go beyond the ground floor and that is the reason why there are no columns there and yes we are working with structural drawings. About the master bedroom, cause this is a personal building for myself i have always loved a french window where the opening would be large and there would be no requirement for another window, you can see the elevation also in the picture attached. About the short laps, i noticed that too as it was the fault of my iron bender, he was trying to cut materials to suit his greedy self and unfortunately for me i was not on site when it was done, i told the brick layers not to fill up too much to allow enough space for lapping but then we know how these people can be once there is no one to supervise them, I'm glad there are about three to four columns affected by these short laps and they are situated at the Ante room area where the columns wont go past the first floor slab, none the less i still plan on chiseling some concrete portions off (which i hate but have to do) to create more space for lapping when the construction continues.
Also, about the master room not been cross ventilated, if you notice you would see there are not much openings in the building generally as the other rooms are just with corner windows. I plan to have all rooms fitted with AC which is a reason why I had to find a way to reduce openings.
God is our only hope and i pray he keeps directing us all, I've spent 6m so far (did borehole and bought 2 geepee tanks ans also the short fence is included in the calculation) at this stage of the building as i am not managing materials and I also plan on plastering and doing POP before the year runs out.

Weldone sir, I have quick question to ask you in tye design and tye photo of structure you are building.

- Are you trying to modify the existing foundation ? Looking at the pictures critically I could not find any columns/pillar erected ..

The design is a 3-bedroom duplex that means a storey building

Thank you for your observations. If you carefully check these pictures well you would see the columns. And yes we are working with a structural drawing. Also, try checking the floor plan well and you would see that the Ante room and living room area would be much of a bungalow as the Ante room part would be a sit-out at the top floor and the living room area would be a roof below which is why there is no visible column at the outer wall. I attached more pictures. There are at least 22 16mm columns in the building.

These are more pictures. Kindly check the roof design if you have any ideas on better options it would be welcomed.
