60x60 virony porcelain is okay as well and is affordable

diordaves:
I had this same challenge without a public gutter. The three chamber method solved the problem for me. And yes, when there is a public gutter, you can then re-design the network to drain into the public amenity.

MrOkenwa:
Sir, this septic tank caught my attention. Would you mind to explain why it was partitioned into 3 parts?. With this system, do you still need a soak away pit? Do you have a separate system for wastes coming from the kitchens and bathrooms?
I have a rental build that's expected to accommodate between 32 to 40 people. so, we did 14x6x10ft septic with soak away of 6x6x6ft. Both will take care of the poop. We are digging a hole of about 15 rings depth for the water coming from the kitchens and bathrooms.
I don't know if you have a better suggestion. Thank you.

diordaves:
Most people don't plaster both but this is poor and dangerous practice. The best practice is to protect the inner blocks from waste water and household chemicals which over time will weaken the already sometimes poor quality blocks. In such situation, you run the risk of collapse due to weakened blocks. So close eye and nylon plaster both to protect the blocks.

Save my client some shortage yesterday... cable supplied to him was fake.. not the right length.

Did a measurement on them we only got 70m instead of 100..

Let's be guided.

Davidebun016:
Wow!!! Topsy God bless you for this calculations, i was thinking I will not get feedback on this forum not knowing that all the professionals are ready to dish out information without collecting dine.

Infact, your calculations are on point for you to arrived at 80KVA load. I have already contracted it to one engineer who is not on this forum and paid him 35k for the load calculations. He arrived at the same 80KVA you posted. That shows you are really good at what you you do.

Very grateful for your effort and information provided without hiding anything.

GOD BLESS YOU SIR.

Hello family, what's your thought on this? Is it a good buy?

The thread You Quoted from are details of my just concluded 4M project and that's not first or second or third Project I've done this Year alone.Check the Topic of the thread.Kobokobo House, that aside. That's the mix ratio I normally use in all my Projects unless My client instructs me to adjust the ratio.I've worked for several Nairalanders and none ever complain of any glitches.
Before I do something for a client, I'll firstly do it for myself first in other to gather experiences and to avoid any flop,and I think that's what Researching means.
The question You asked has already been answered on my previous Threads,I can't be treating same question everytime on my threads that's why I always tell people to search for my name and everything including some of my Removed threads will show up.

KolaShangOne:
Seems you are averse to criticism. But that's the point of nairaland. We are always asking questions here.

Is it the same thread you used 1 bag of cement to set 112 blocks? It wasn't detailed enough. Alot of people were asking you how.

But then,

Sorry my Oga. I'll mind my business from now on.

bolu1986:
Option A is always better. But client think they can save enough money by going for option B but in some cases it won’t happens….

Pay per sqm with materials in labor inclusive then go to sleep…

Rany4all:
Until I see a household that has used this for at least 10 years without issues, I will remain sceptical.

What happens to all the water flushed into that small space? Does the biodigester also serve as a soakaway pit or dehydrator?

Secondly, what happens to the bacteria in the digester when one washes ones toilet with antiseptic solutions and flushes the water into the biodigester?

diordaves:
You don't pay road tax because for bought your car brand new? Really? So road tax is for the poor people of the UK then who are unfortunate to by second hand cars. Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) - also known as road tax, car tax, or the road fund licence - can be a confusing topic to understand.

If you're buying a new car, you will pay road tax based on the latest system that was introduced on 1 April 2017, and most recently adjusted for April 2022 onwards. If you are buying a used car that was registered before April 2017, then the rate you pay will be based on the system that applied at the time of registration, even if the car is still in production.
https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-exempt-from-vehicle-tax

You better call DVLA (Licencing authority) now to send you your road tax invoice or one day you go wake up them don clamp your car. If you bought a brand new car, you may not pay road tax for one year that is because the car company has paid it for you as part of their sales gimmick not that new car owners don't pay road tax. Where is that done? We the poor people that can't afford new car for done halla. After one year, you carry your kaya and start paying road tax by yourself.

The discussion is about Nigeria tax base as it applies to the housing sector and you said Nigeria has a broader tax base than the UK. This is screamingly so inaccurate. Let's leave road tax, petrol tax and the rest and focus the discussion on the housing sector.

Does Nigeria operate and implement the below listed:

CAPITAL (PROPERTY) GAIN TAX - for the home base, Property gain tax is simply if you sell a property that is not your main residence and make a profit, you will pay tax on the profit and you will pay income tax and you will pay VAT. Nigeria know weather you sell property? not to talk of collecting gain tax.
https://www.gov.uk/capital-gains-tax/rates#:~:text=28%25%20on%20your%20gains%20from,gains%20from%20other%20chargeable%20assets

INHERITANCE TAX - again for the home base, here in the UK, if you inherit a property from your parents that is above a certain amount, you will pay inheritance tax. This tax is so huge that some kids will sell the property in order to pay the inheritance tax. Some children to avoid the tax will sell the property while the parent is alive and put the parent in a care home and use the money to pay for care. It is that serious. Nigeria get inheritance tax. Not that I know of.
https://www.gov.uk/inheritance-tax

STAMP DUTY LAND TAX - You must pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) if you buy a property or land over a certain price in England and Northern Ireland. For the home base, you pay the tax when you:

#buy a freehold property

#buy a new or existing leasehold

#buy a property through a shared ownership scheme

#are transferred land or property in exchange for payment, for example you take on a mortgage or buy a share in a house.
https://www.gov.uk/stamp-duty-land-tax

I'm not sure you understand or grasp the extensive tax regime system in the UK. So you think the UK is about the 5th biggest economy in the world partly only form income tax collection and VAT? I shake my head in Urhobo.

Any which way you turn in the UK, you pay tax if not directly then indirectly.

erico2k2:
Bro sometimes we have to be objective, u do you live in the UK right ? I would like to think you dont drive cos if you did you will know newer cars do not pay Ulez fees. and road tax exempt
I dnt pay Road tax for my car as its Exempt its a newer BMW
I don't pay for Ultra Low emission zone as my car is newer its less than 4 years old Diesel
I do not have to pay Congestion charge cos I will be mad to drive to central London where there is no parking, I use the underground for such
Air travels is universal its got nothing to do with living in the UK or Nigeria
Fuel duty is tied to cars its irrelevant to whether one lives in the Uk or Nigeria
I think you need to read more on Insurance. The premium is what you pay to the insurance company end of where you are coming up with %%% I seriously have no clue care to xplain more? by the way Insurance is irrelevant as I pay same for my car in Nigeria and its not a form of tax rather its classed as Bills, you are mixing Bills with Tax cos if I don't drive or own a house I don't have to insure anything.
However in Nigeria what should be labelled Bills are taxes
Nigeria practice Multiple taxation. You pay more and getting nxt to nothing in return
You pay road tax in Nigeria in the form of vehicle licencing
MOT which is never checked
VAT is just day light robbery as you are charged SMS fees and you pay VAT for it
you are charged when you transfer money and you pay VAT on it
Over charged for phone calls cos the taxes and Vat is way above ours in the UK
Police will tax you look I can go on n on if you want as you can see my three Taxes in the Uk stands TV licence is not Tax cos one can live in an all inclusive apartment. and certain people are exempt.

erico2k2:
I will use myself.as an example.
1 Payee tax
2 my house(Council tax)if you rent or own a full house/flat
3 National Insurance.
4 VAT
thats all I pay in the UK
What tax do you pay in Nigeria

dongc:
We can try next time I am home..i have one multimeter to check output wattage/voltage.I dont know If shops like Albertina sells Chinese knock off as original..

erico2k2:
Thank you very much sir.I often tell people we Nigerians in Nigeria pay more tax than us in the US and UK

kopell:
Good job, right question. I don't know in witch state or city in project is located, in most average cities in Lagos now its becoming a norm. In Okota, Ajah, Badore, etc. The area that used to be a nice lay out are becoming to look like jungle. In Badore many nice houses that has adequate parking space in front or the side of their buildings are now selling them out to inerrant another building in them, the first things that come to my mine mind is how do those building get approvals? In Okota, 2 building away from my friend house used to be a 4 bedroom bungalow. Someone bought and put 4 floors, 14 units 2bed apartment including 4 shops at the supposed to be fence with no single parking space and probably less then 1 meter set back on all the 4 angels of the areas. I know that place very well, when we started building my friend's house there in 94 they all only allowed single floor building there not even 2, you wont get approval. When those guy started putting this building up the entire neighborhood wrote a petition to the government, they came and put stop work order. suddenly after a month they continued and finished that building. As I speak the building is fully occupied and people start parking indiscreetly in the street and the entire neighborhood became a nightmare for the resident.

Kingdemu:
Where would other tenants park their cars if each apartment occupant has just 1 car? It could even be more.

somehow:
A tax officer told me that the building tax in Lagos is dependent on the location and structure just as I said before.

Confirmed from 2 other officers from different tax offices in Lagos, afterall they had nothing to gain from me, so why would they say something not true?

I will stop here though and let others that went through similar situation share their experience.

Happy Sunday to us all.

flexyonline:
It should just be a matter of following the law and not introducing illegalities in the name of gathering more taxes. The law is clear on how these things should work but because our tax people are lazy they won’t follow through. Even the US that we complain about the taxes don’t just charge arbitrary taxes. It is a lack of accountability in service delivery that will make them hold up your application because of taxes when you submit genuine tax documents. The two processes should be different. An analogy is when people clear their cars at the port through customs and the same customs will waylay them on the road that they didn’t pay correct duty. Can’t we see the irony in that or are we just so used to anyhowness?

EgunMogaji2:
No offence meant but these are part of the reasons that we can't really have growth in the country. Income tax is different from property tax.

The government is simple not making enough money, tax based wise, to really build/rebuild infrastructures in the country.

Work is still moving on well here, but I dont like to show the internal finish pictures. More external pictures later.

Olumighty123:
I wouldn't say they are trees per say, you know those stubborn kind of roots that wouldn't uproot with bare hands, let's say around 40 to 50 of those.

Might be better you buy locally , cdk is there , imported Spanish / Italian dey

There are games and tricks regular importers play , reducing value , sending containers to specific terminals where they have prearranged settlement discussion , bringing other lighter goods on top of tiles , outright wrong description etc
Last time I imported tiles was about 6 years ago , it had 20% levy apart from duty and vat . Do your analysis wella , brought in 5 containers then , brought in all doors , windows , fitted Kitcken , was for multiple flat project, naira was maybe 200plus then , nija don spoil sha
