Hatesin: 1. Why is that guest room door facing the main entrance door. What happens to the privacy of the occupant of that room? 2. The dining, is it a passage or what? The distance between the lounge and the dining is something else. 3. That long passage has no window 4. The visitors' toilet; I personally don't understand why a toilet should open to a public area. Mind you, not everybody knows how to use the toilet. I would personally conceal it from public view. 5. Another issue of concern to me is the accessibility of the staircase. Do you really have to enter the bedroom before climbing the stairs and while coming down, you enter the room first Note: Am not an architect and would like our architects to put me right. 1 Like |

Boss, what is the standard depth of a duplex foundation? Secondly, what determines the strength of a duplex. Is it how deep the foundation is that matters or the columns that matters? |

amazinghomez09: What really counts in the determining the strength of storey buildings, the depth of the foundation or the solidity of the concrete blinding? |

Francis609: Watch your back. She might be the cause of the problem between you and your mom. If she's an angel as you claim, she wouldn't be in a hurry to take the place of your mother while she's still alive. Instead, she should have tried to settle whatever issue between you people. |

Hi our great architects in the house. Please what is the best layout? Accessing the guest bedroom from the anteroom or from the living room? Secondly, should the guest bedroom be so isolated from the rest of the rooms or should there be a link between it and the rest of the rooms in the house? Thanks! 1 Like |

[quote author=HEADYWORLD post=96480517] Roofing is one of the the places where you get cheated by suppliers and carpenters, especially if you are using aluminium, coated sheets and any other roofing sheet measured in square metres, unless you are using asbestos . I was ripped off over 50sqm during my roofing project, the craziest thing is, I followed the guy to where they are selling it, and they supplied the same number of sheet on the cutting list but the length he measured was longer, so instead of 6.9m he measured 9.9m for 15sheets, that's 45m at the rate of 1100. I bought the sheet at IDE global iyanapaja. Those sales boys and girls know how they do the runs. I saw money121 that day at the aluminium factory. Always snap their cutting list and compare what they write with the physical sheet supplied. Those aluminium roofing sheet sellers are all thieves. Even those on nairaland are the same. Be careful when dealing [/quote/) You are on point. All of them are the same. One of their tricks is when you tell them another person's quoted sqm, they will reduce their own a bit to get the job. They can NEVER tell you the actual measurement. But if am using stone coated, I won't call anybody to measure anything for me. I will just be buying it in bits just like asbestos or zinc. If after using the ones I bought and it's not enough, I will go and buy again. It hurts to see these guys cut of your throat on a job you will still pay them for. 4 Likes |

abraolas1:my dear roofing stage is a very big challenging stage in building. I would have liked to see the floor plan of the house, the roof plan(if any) and then the quotation given to you. If I see these, we can rob minds together and estimate the likely number of woods you should be looking at. 3 Likes |

Properties / Re: Please I Need A Rough Estimate To Roof This Project by joycluv: 12:16pm On Nov 14, 2020 |
abraolas1:My humble advice is this; don't wait until you have the whole money before you start. And don't listen to those carpenters coz they will like you to pack all the woods in the timber market and drop for them to be wasting them as if it was not your sweat. Don't buy the whole woods at once and then you have to keep a very sharp eye on them. Then coming to the roofing sheets, if you have the the time and the brain, go for aluminium coz it's not as expensive as those theives called roofers make people to believe 1 Like |
Properties / Re: Please I Need A Rough Estimate To Roof This Project by joycluv: 12:00pm On Nov 14, 2020 |
abraolas1:My dear, their quotations will always be too much and scary. So focusing at it will discourage you and might result to you abandoning the project. To your questions: (1) Aluminium is thicker in gauge than Cameroon zinc. Again, some Cameroon zincs contain iron which make them rust after some time. (2) Cameroon zincs are 15pcs in a bundle (2ft x8ft per pc) and costs 17,500 for the plain ones as at last 2 weeks that I roofed my own. But I used the new one they call "animal skin design- a bundle of it was 23,000 as at that time. (3) As for woods, like I stated earlier, I had some trees which I cut. So when those ones finished, we counted the number to purchase which were just few pieces. 2 Likes |

ebijimi7:It would not be enough even with the cheapest materials. I just completed my own roofing (3bedrooms) using Cameroon zinc. I had some trees which I cut and sawed so I only bought just few pieces of wood. I had to buy the materials myself, so no room for ripping off. I negotiated labour to the last kobo(70k) for both the wood work and the installation of the zinc and I didn't raise the roof too high, yet I spent about 640k. So you can now see why I said that 500 can not be enough. 1 Like |
