Charisdesigns:


Not a standard metric tho
But 1m have been specified in one of our commercial design during vetting.

For residential, most times they don’t even request for gate house plan during vetting, Neither do they mandate you to show its position on your site plan. (Of course which I think is wrong) that’s why most people end up setting their standards themselves.

Thanks Charisdesigns..,

Still corroborates I said. There's no setback rule for gatehouse for residential buildings that I know off.

EgunMogaji2:


You should reconsider this.

You want a layer of security between the security guard and the outside, you also want another layer of security, canines, to be able to patrol the perimeter.

Anyways I yield to everyone to do what they feel is best for them. I just want to know about if there's a setback rule.

No setback rule..

I understand Security is perceived personally.

I'm leaning towards one- storey security house now.. like my PH people usually do. Its also good for over looking the area.

EgunMogaji2:


20 ton laterite = N43K

Still cheap.

In Ologuneru, they sell 33,000 for 10t truck.

Those dark grey boards in your TV design..

I looked for it all over Nigeria I couldn't find it.. Was looking for Gloss HDF

rmx:


Sand , laterite , stone dust , granite , all gone up cause of diesel at 800 . We will adjust and move as always

Na wa o..

Bought at 750 naira some 3 days ago in Abeokuta.

EgunMogaji2:
Just a quick guidance question. One of my pet peeves is people using shared property walls as part of the wall for buildings, especially gateman houses. I think it's unhealthy and a security risk.

How can I avoid a neighbour doing this? Is there a setback rule for gateman houses?

Thanks.

Pic 1: My own gateman house.

Pic2: The types that I have an issue with.

The advantage I see in the second one.. and why I do it..

1. The gateman can overlook the street from his own cubicle. Last one I did, gateman can see the entire street from his room.


Personally, I like to see everywhere. It's the paranoia.

michlins:
I think it's an after thought. The amount of sun that the place receives will make it balcony uncomfortable. Another thing is the floor below. The pop already installed is at risk because of the rain that gathers at there

It depends..

Sometimes, people step out to the balcony to receive sunshine..

I really wish to paint before fixing my lights and sockets and before installing my PVC floor skirting..

Then I'll require them to wear gloves to do installations.. if it gets dirty, at least Satin paint is cleanable.

I really do not like the unpainted tiny little spaces after tape has been removed.

gbadexy:

Ok sir, I can get you something similar to dulux trade the imported variant but you would be prepared to pay for it even though it would still be very cheap in cost comparison.
Even at that, that would be for one coat which I still doubt the practicality of that.
You will get a good deal from that product as a drum would literally cover 8 standard rooms or 2 units of 2 bedroom flats.

Wow. Just wow.

Okay I get you now. I was also wondering how 20litres would cover 240sqm..

Adedward:
sir, when casement is lock from inside no one can open it, from outside sir, onelse they break the glass from out side thanks,

They can open it without breaking the glass though.

They have done it on my site.

gbadexy:

Premium emulsion: N16000
Satin: N42000
Silk: N48000

Which do u recommend for painting POP?

I'm asking these here so others can see it..

gbadexy:
We are presently running a raining season promo.
There is a free paint application for purchase on the premium products from 10 drums upwards.
The application is done with paint spraying machine and only premium paint products with superfine pigments is sprayable with it.
Terms an condition applies.

How much is premium satin et emulsion ?

seunben:
Dears
Please can i combine a metal door frame with a solid wood door. Would the combination work perfectly in terms of aesthetics and functionality.

Why not try it first. You could be on to something.

Good morning everyone, please I need opinion on this design plan for two mini flats.

I have a land measuring over 1,200SM and want to use a portion of it. This is going to be my first build.

Thank you!

Very good plan.

UC92:

Please check what is applicable in your local planning authority vis setbacks.

Just did a little check, you could get setbacks of 1m on left and right sides, 2m on the rear, 5m on the approach. 2bedrooms of 2.7*3m sizes only one of the rooms will be ensuite with a convenience of about 1*1.8m. one other convenience for visitors and the second bedroom. Kitchen with size of about 1.8*4m. Lounge of 3.9*4.5m. a staircase of 1.8m width.

With this you would get just two parking lot. The gate could be made wide enough to take two cars at a go.

To use your ground floor for carpark, do a viability check before you consider that option.

1m on both sides means heat will deal with those on ground floor.

If the stairway will be indoors, then it's almost impossible.

A toilet and bathroom of 1m x 1.8m... That's 3ft x 5ft. So so small.

UC92:

One would have given an informed criticism if you posted the site plan, at least from there we would have known why the designer chose to do certain things the way it is here.

That notwithstanding, I will point out some things I am not comfortable with.
1. Laundry-kitchen relationship. The activities to be carried out in this two spaces are in no way related and shouldn't have a strong relationship.
Assuming you have a little kid who just defecated, your wife is making a delicious meal in the kitchen can you at that moment take the kids clothes with all the faeces on it to the laundry through the kitchen to wash?
A proper laundry isn't just a space to keep washing machine, you need a space for ironing, hang-drying cloths during the rain etc.

2. A closet is a closet and not a lobby, you do not access another space through a closet.

3. Dead lobby

4. The store needs natural light

5. Poor dimensioning.
6. No dimensional coordination.
7. Not too good graphical representations

Thank you for your time.

Good evening everyone..

I was sent this plan.. A 3 bedroom + office measuring about 22m x 9m.

Need constructive criticism. And rate the architect from 1-10.

somehow:
Please house, can a half plot of land take 4 units of 2 bedroom flats with car park of like 4 cars?

Though somone said the down floor can be used for the car park by constructing a "suspended/hanging" foundation.

"Suspended / hanging foundation"

I guess he's talking about having the ground floor as car park.

Assuming it's even possible, the associated cost of using the ground floor for car park is not worth it at all..

AngelicBeing:
Hian, Engineer, you call it a joke, Nigeria is a FAILED STATE after the order of Afghanistan, Syria, South Sudan, Yemen, Libya, Syria, you see why l often say at the property section that l don't want to come back fully to Nigeria, reading the daily insecurity reports in Nigeria has made many Diasporans to kiss the dead country called Nigeria goodbye

My brother, even to travel for work now, you how to be praying and wishing because anything can happen to you and nothing will happen after that.

Look at the bomb blast in Kano where children died. Look at the train kidnapping etc.

There's no need to come back fully. Just come for nostalgia sake and go back.

This country is a joke.

Sorry bro.

These guys are everywhere.

I hope you get a brain box that matches your car.

Am trying to get it off my mind.
But My heart has not accepted her Death.

Sorry bro.

Mum's should live forever, if wishes were horses.

GAZZUZZ:


Tyre types do matter.

Some tyre threads are naturally built to be noisy for better grip in subzero conditions (which we don't have)

True.

I used to wonder why my Lexus tyres make alot of noise on high speed.

DFAMEGUY11S:
4300 per meter

That's 6200 per carton.

I have a 2005 Camry that I just got back from who I lent it to..

The car jacks violently when I change gears. From Drive to Reverse, it gives a loud thud.

Ive changed engine seats and it's still same.

Car moves smoothly though


Is the gear spoilt?
