What does it mean?
Sounds unique

Amastermovic:


yes but I think d architect should still correct and resend to the structural engineer for confirmation cause I don't really like to see beam hanging freely within a space the structural engineer will have design like that also and may affect his General arrangement of beam and column position.. op pls follow d advice given to you on the architecture plan here

bixton:


Nice one.
But don't you think it will be more suitable to interchange the position of the toilet/bath with the closet. Just maintain the opening into the closet without putting a door to throw light into it and you can flush the door to the toilet on the left part of the wall thereby creating more space for your wardrobe on the outside.

tbright007:
JUST AN OPINION

first floor - cross ventilation can be provided for the 2 rooms at the rear end , so why not make provision for it .

first floor - the walk in closet would be very dark if not totally unusable when there is no light, so why not remove the door that leads to it from the toilet and make it a whole wall then make the walk in closet a U - shape facing the windows, this can be achieved by removing the walk in closet walls after entering through the door of the room and leaving only the enclosure walls of the toilet and bath

Your site is in ibadan na. You really don't need it. But your engineer might request for it. Its professional.

i don't think your soil test scope and cost should depend on proposed structure.

The deliverables of the soil test should tell you how much load the soil can safely support and various depth, you then use this to cross-check with your proposed structure if it falls within the safe range. its not the other way round where.

Infact you shouldn't tell the soil test engineer what you plan to build, otherwise they can work from answer to question for you. rather, they should tell you the maximum structure you can erect based on the soil test results

Dennis3D:


From 220K up. Depending on who is doing it for you. I just did one recently in Ajah - February

Larwin:


Soil testing cost depends on the scope of work, the size of the land and the structure to put on.

For a simple duplex in Lagos and suburb, the cost is generally not less 300k. It should include cpt, spt and laboratory analysis.

segzy14:


Hmmm, soil test?

Why the Hmmm sir Please your idea is needed. I was thinking we should do it for our land that is why

Starting the cast of the DPC with a sheet of DPM spread on the compacted soil.

Unfortunately this thread will soon be filled with spam adverts and will be turned into something other than what the OP intended.
you may need to clarify what services you have already awarded and which you are open to source from here or not, doesn't mean people will abide to such rules tho.

good luck in your project.
