Ladies and Gentlemen, we are gathering here to build yet another solid structure for another nairaland follower. We have just got another contract to build a cool block of 6 mini flats in Port Harcourt, Rivers state. The details of the project are as follows.

Project: Construction of a 4 bedroom duplex
Location: Owerri, Imo state
Client: A nairalander
Contractor: Tigerkenn Homes Ltd.
Budget: To be announced later
Duration: 100 days.

Please join us as we storm this site and make it as lively and as transparent as possible, putting safety and best practices as our primary objective. We are already talking with suppliers, sinking borehole, clearing the site and assembling a team of workers.

Well done me I do take front row seat

abdulwastecx:
I don't really consider high pitch roof aesthetics, its more like waste of resources. I love flat roof

If you r using a roofing material that's is subject to rust and leakage the a high roof is desirable cos of the high gradient.

segcymoor:
Absolutely! D word ante here literally means before. A small space or lobby is required before the main living room.






It's the beauty of Architecture! It wouldn't ve being introduced in the world of Architecture if not necessarily in the first place
However, one may decided to skip it in his personal project . After all, it's not structural affected. But the fact remains that it does makes sense!

Well of I go by what you are saying.I may very well create a lobby with just flowers and wall pictures plus a shoe rack b4 the living room entrance .this will make sense

segcymoor:
Oga. U are the least person I am expecting this question from
In Morden duplex, Just a definate answer we suffice.
Do you expect every visitors to ve direct answer to ur living room? .I think ur personal project is a duplex.

If I can count at least I ve built and design nothing less than 15 duplex in the course of my practices. Besides, we are not responsible for all the design.




Non without an ante room!

But I think houses are built to requirement from my personal point of view I think the room a visitor will sit down in my house will be the living room.

chocolateme:
Good and to also provide food for the moniker directly below me. Na him need am pass.

Are you kidding me??U seriously believe this Pooooo .There are schools with not chairs to seat on and he want to provide meals.and the kids will seat on the floor and eat right .make we dey reason small na.as U can see.the guy now knows we remember promises and he refuses to put a date instead decided to say soon.

EgunMogaji:
Where is the air coming from?

Can the intake be sprayed with pepper spray?

I think one can conceal it,ie on top of the house or at the edge of the roof frame

Oga spider no laff of, these guys nearly chop my Timberland Ohh

brabus:
Naija men sabi improvise. We go work am. Trying to upload the video they sent to me.

eheh improvise and spoil the job

brabus:
There's a Chinese company around Berger, Lagos that proposed this to me in one of my project. I'll get you the link and the video they sent to me but I just felt it's not worth it.

We aren't really ready for this yet. I'll not like to be used as guinea pig

I was asking one guy on their site, how do we work with this on outer walls as there who be any decking to hold it above .So in practice it would work for internal wall, but come to think of it, there is no rendering on outside walls if you use red bricks

EgunMogaji:
Used the term loosely as I'm not familiar with the process which is similar but nevertheless I don't see the efficiency.

I've been around quite a few construction sites and I've never seen one. Have you?

Nop, for all its worth, it was made in India,however I reckon its too slow and I don't see how it will work on outer walls.

EgunMogaji:
I don't screed walls so no first hand experience but I just fail to see how this is efficient.

this is not a screeding machine its a plaster machine, same thing our plaster man will do yo your wall in Nigeria, have a look again,its raw wall with cement and sand mix.

EgunMogaji:
I completely disagree but I'll leave it at that.

That's the beauty of self funded projects but for anyone else that is open minded please read up, even the link that Hajji posted.

Ok would you agree the purpose of insulating the house to to conserve e heat?

mufutau55:
I know that is why I said it's not good..... in Naija we want to chase out the heat.

Insulations good to keep heat inside (Oyinbo country)
Insulations good to keep coolness inside (if you are operating constant Air Cooling System) Where is NEPA for this?
Thanks.

Hajji M.

Anybody who tries it has to destroy the house and rebuild cos of heat even if you manage to keep your house cold where is the power?

kkonsults:
updates in a bit...........

Good job well done. IM following

What do you guys call Plaster board in the US?

FastShipping:
I don't really like a wall plastered with sand and cement. An interior wall done with dry-wall/sheet-rock/cement board look a lot better than a cement plastered wall. I need another option to metal-framed partitioning. Why not treated wood partitioning as against metal partitioning? Like in the U.S, no one uses metal to partition interior walls except in an industrial buildings. We use treated wood here and they can last more than 100 years.

I am looking at this options below:

But yoy k ow there are plaster made not from sand and cement mix.

EgunMogaji:
Hajji and FastShipping I'm surprised that you both are saying that insulation is not needed in Nigeria.

Please do some or more research on why you insulate.

My houses in Texas and California are all insulated, heavily, and for good reasons.

Ok let's discus insulation. To insulate is to protect.in the case of building this applies to just to gain heat or reduce heat loss.we won't need that in Nigeria.cos we do not heat our houses. We only try to make our houses cooler.heat do not need any sort of circulation while cooling does.as regards to aircon.so basically all that is needed in the Nigerian home is good ventilation.

mufutau55:
I mean those foamy stuffs being installed on the exterior wall... that foam is like insulation, No?
I prefer those small exterior bricks that needs no painting.

Hajji M.

They are insulators to prevent heat loss.

I nor fit use wood ooh.these termites in my village dem harsh and dem no dey hear word. .if dem give them chance dem go chew 16mm rebar lol

raayah:
I personally don't mind dishing food for my husband but if I cannot do it because i'm busy. He should understand.

Men are not babies.
They should be able to plate their own food.
Its better because you will be able to access the amount of food you want instead of sending your wife up and down.

Since its marriage, communicate with your husband. Tell him you are not comfortable and suggest a better way of serving his food. I would suggest putting the food in a big dish while your husband serves himself from there.


It seems you already do this. You are doing all the housework and cooking meals for him and he is still asking for "complete service". I think you married a baby. If he is hungry, he will plate his food. I think there is a bigger issue in your marriage.

Wen U marry try that with ur husband.

Akanniade:
Infra-red imaging will sort that out.

If U know about infra red U will have known it works in darkness absence of light.

Sweetlemon:
Oil theft IS another form of terrorism sir.
The proceeds of the oil, which would have been used to better the lives of ordinary Nigerians will now be used for elites. If that's not terrorism, nothing else is.

Wen was Oil money ever used by the govt to better the lives of youths? Sad as it sounds it's these thieves /vandals who give the boys money to carry out these act.and the big fish are the people in govt cos u need to be at a certain level to endodge so if U ask me nah Dem Dem

DjAduba:
Na true Osho de talk ooo, Just that it is clear that some Nigerians don't want the truth to be told cus it against their man! But i bet u if know what dis guys had done to our treasury.. Hmmm u will never support them.

Have you been to Edo state or fru it cos frm ur statement I can tell U ain't frm there.have you?

thomasjoe:
He said, “In Edo state, the Aduwawa end of the Benin-Auchi road is almost impassable especially during this rainy season. As we speak, erosion has cut off the Benin-Auchi road into two and motorists are going through hell passing through that road. What about Benin- Abraka road; one hell of a road completely abandoned and vandalized. In the name of politics, they came trying to impress Edo people but ended up depressing all of us.”


Since Oshio married dat oyimbo girl , i am ashamed of his demeanour- Oshiomole fixed a road half way ( the aduwawa road above ) and put a sign board to tell the world that this section is FEDERAL GOVT ROAD! who does that but a shit tight hypocrite! If My memory doesnt fail me , I remember Ngige fixed roads and never cared if they were state or Federal or local govt or Oshios!
Im watching to see where all these will take him to !
(TAKE NOTE -OSHIOMOLE IS STILL YET TO COMMISSION A COMPLETED MAJOR PROJECT IN BENIN ) still blaming a govt he took over from 6 or more years ago for his
crap

Blind mumus who r not frm Edo state won't see this.they always poke nose I to affairs alien to them ask some of them where Edo state is they will say btw Ondo n Ogun state.
