1. 4-bedrooms (1 en-suite, could be applied to all).

2. 4/3 bedroom block of flats.

Sorry for the delay in responding.

With respect to the electrical works..the wiring was surface as it could be done faster and my client was operating on a budget.
Secondly, I did point out in one of my posts that I might travel, it was during my trip that the electrical work was done, at least you could see some lights were on in a few of the final photos.

SammyJac:
I didn't see any electrical wiring (neither conduit nor surface). Why was it left out?
Nice job bro.

twinskenny:


Wanted to say the same thing

But good job all the same

Yea..it was sad, but thanks anyway.

diordaves:

Walted0n:

E go sweet to play a COVID-19 prank on this people as them dey Waka like this o...the resulting pandemonium will be epic!

Just say it is resetting the brain of the political class in Nigeria.. those who had a little sense in the first place o, not those who claimed to have built isolation centres but dashed to Abuja when shit hit the fan.

Odi egwu!!







Need building designs done for you?
Check my profile.

Wunderbar!!!

According to her sentence, each year is equivalent to ₦48,862.5.
This is for a mere ₦781,800.

So who will investigate/probe the scandalous ₦187bn school feeding program allegedly going on even while schools are shut??

If we use her case as a precedent and the 16 year sentence as a base sentence even for the school feeding program, Na him be say their own one year sentence will be equivalent to ₦3,827,065.75.....aaabracadabra, I don dey think about money too much o.




Anyway, check my profile and reach out if you need our services. God bless.

She needs to get arrested to learn to control her emotions, something in me says she did it intentionally, do you know how much Force you need to break an airplane window?

Lol.. I very much understand what you're saying and I've equally been wondering if she actually broke that window with her bare hands..but this notwithstanding, I'm only looking at the "human" factor at play here. Like I said earlier, we all have different coping mechanisms and our reactions to issues differ.

You sef, you know say someone fit piss you off but you'll just look at the whole kasala and decide to walk away..but for some, my brother wetin suppose happen tomorrow go happen immediately and even have a part 2. That's life, we're all imperfect.

Ramos16:


Very few people have experienced the unique type of heartbreak I have, my girlfriend, the only girl I can say I truly loved at the time got married while we were still dating, or while I thought we were still dating, but you don't see me trying to kill others for that.

Well, as heartbreaking as your experience was, we all have different coping mechanisms.
I've been through heartbreak too, it wasn't easy. In as much as she went extreme, she's still human.

Emotions!
Damn!!

Probably invested a lot in the relationship.

Modified:
Plain truth.

uuzba:

Don't mess with people's emotions.
We are human beings. We are created with emotions.
We should learn to respect emotions.
We are not cold, hard, metal robots.

LOl..these my ogas dey vex. See, on the outside these issues appear very simple..but when you're in the situation you'd understand how painful some of these things can be.
People tend to make the most irrational decisions or take stupid actions when they're too emotional or heartbroken.

Ramos16:


She is mad, her and her investments, so she puts other people's lives at risk because of her stupid emotional investments

Emilokoiyawon:


So just because of failed investment she will now endanger the lives of dozens of innocent people?

Really the year 2020 is on a serious "beat"...bad news left, right and centre!!

Condolences to the family.
Live right and be at peace with nature!

A protected Gorilla living in a world heritage site.

That Gorilla must have been earning the country millions of dollars in tourist revenue but the illiterate olodo only saw the animal as meat.

Below is a rhino with 24hrs protection because local man cannot be trusted.

Biko Bros, is this photo real?
If yes what park/zoo/wildlife reserve is that?

Ramos16:
There is literally only one picture of a wall.


Also, how much has she put into this project?

If you read well through the narrative, I mentioned that the structure was supposed to be double flats; the picture of the wall you're seeing is the wall separating the front flat from the back flat, it's equally the staircase wall.

Did you read the lines where I mentioned "4-5-1-3" and "3-4-1-3"??
If you did you would understand that picture.
she's spent millions on the project, that's means it is not one million, but above it.

Lalasticlala please can we get more views on this? Let people speak up so that others can learn. Don't worry Sir, I will go back to the site to find you a nice snake �

mufutau55, thanks for your contribution.

It's painful though, to see the extent people can go to rip another of their hard earned money.

Good day Nairalanders.

To start, something happened some days ago, but before I go into it, let me say something most of us might have heard, like me.

Well, growing up in a typical Nigerian city (Aba) back in the days..I was privileged to listen to discussions or conversations about how someone based abroad (Ala-bekee) used to send in money for a building project in the village/city as the case may be; then after some years or over the duration of some months, would return to meet a practically empty plot of land. in some cases, the so-called land would even be nonexistent.

The type of wahala issues like this cause eh, to those who can bear it, they can simply let go since the culprits in most cases are always blood relatives/siblings/uncle's/in-laws etc.

In my line of work I've equally bumped into a couple of such projects..the most recent one being the reason for this thread.

So, some days ago, I was contacted to evaluate a building project; a supposed one storey building comprising of 4x3-bedroom flats. However, only the front flat had been done up to "their" supposed deck beam level.
The owner of this project is based in Philadelphia, U.S.A and is a woman well over the late 60's.
The project supervisor/executioner is an in-law (I think he married one of the woman's daughters based on the information I received)..

Now, the instruction was simple: "Build this house while I send in the funds, at completion you and your family would take one flat and stay as caretakers of the property".

In all honesty, what I saw at the site left me bewildered and I was just wondering the "version" of wickedness at work in the so-called in-law.. seriously!!

By the building regulation standards, a standard building height ought to be at least 3metres. To achieve this during construction (block work stage), we do what I called "4-5-1-3" for bungalow buildings and "4-5-1-2" for lower levels of multi-storey buildings above the D.P.C.
Breakdown:
Above the DPC.
4: the first 4-courses of block work leading up to the window sill.
5: the next 5courses of block works above the window sill leading up to the lintel.
1: the lintel, always having a depth of 225mm (9inches) which is the depth of all block sizes.
3: the final 3-course of block work above the lintel use to level up in readiness for roof work. In multi-storey buildings, this last 3-courses is replaced by 2-courses with the final block removed and a deck beam introduced in its stead.

For the structure under review, what I met was more like a "3-4-1-3" (as shown in the picture) kind of formation following the same format as explained above. Now me sef wey dey think say I short, I still dey bend to enter one of the rooms because the door opening will always hit my forehead, yes, that's how bad it was!
And this is supposed to be a storey building!!

Next, I equally noticed that the plinth beams (mostly referred to as "chaining" at the DPC level), were without stirrups; yes, more like the 3-12mm used were just laid round the areas they thought necessary with over-site concrete (German floor) laid directly on them. Wow! we too Sabi for this country!!!

Well, luckily for this woman in question, she happened to have returned during one of the ceremonies the Igbere people of Abia State is known for, The Igbotonma ceremony, as she was a participant in the 2017 edition, thereafter she was taken to see her project; rooms were too small, kitchen was too small, etc..the house just looked so unplanned. She was heartbroken thus ordered the job to be stopped.

Please our brothers/sisters in the obodo oyibo (abroad) try as much as possible to engage professionals to do these things for you and while at it, endeavour to come in at least once to see the project by yourself and note any peculiar landmarks or something you can use to identify your site from a photograph, before them go begin send photos of Mr Okonkwo's site go give Mr Clinton. Insist on photo updates every 2-days, if not daily or at worst every 3-days..these stories are painful and they don't just touch the heart, the touch the spinal cord too.

Well, for this particular project, discussions are ongoing and a redesign is on the way..by God's grace a follow up thread will be available to show the updates and progress made when the job starts.

Have you experienced anything like this before??
Talk to us so that others can learn.

Best wishes,
Josnac.
