You think @diordaves that brought up this issue is not aware of this or what?. There are times you have to face realities and unilaterally 'adjust' your own position. I gave an example of a 600k 1 year rent that was refused by an agent because the contract or agreement said 1m for 1 year only for the Landlord to send him back to go and collect it. You think the Landlord does not know about laws of contract. A contract of one year rent is signed and somebody gives you an immediate 6 months and agrees to spread the remaining 6 months over two payments and you refuse. You are very right. He has breached a contract. You give him 6 months quit notice and he leaves. Before he leaves, he intentionally destroys things in the apartment. You then go and take a loan to renovate it so as to rent it to another tenant. A desperate person enters and after one year, the cycle continues. You need to go and ask Landlords what they are facing. Some tenants will tell you to go to court and prove your contract is a contract there.

NL1960:
The question is not about contract. The question is on how fair is it?. Iam sure if a statistics, investigation and analysis is done, we might discover that there is a higher rate of rent default in those that pay yearly than those that pay monthly. For yearly rent payment, iam sure you have to give a longer quit notice period as compared to a monthly rent payment.

Iam in a service industry where our agreement and contract says you have to pay one year advance for service. We have had companies who complain of cash flow and ask for monthly or quarterly payments and we have obliged. Do you think such companies did not have 11 months to save for the yearly payment?. I hope you know that when a loan is taken and you cannot meet up with repayment, you can do a restructuring?.

Anyway, what you are saying is just theory. Ask Landlords that are here what they face. It is easy to talk of contract and breach of contract when reality has not set in. My Landlord told his agent to go and collect a 1 rent of 1million from a tenant. The tenant told the agent that he had only 600k presently and that he should take it while he looks for the balance but the agent refused. When the agent told the Landlord, he told him to go back immediately and collect the 600k that is available because according to the Landlord, what if the tenant spends the money before he gets the balance?. You give 6 months quit notice abi and if the man goes to our court that takes endless years to complete, what do you do?.

NL1960:
How easy is it to save in an economy of high inflation and high cost?. Do you know that people prorate their children school fees to be monthl?. Is it lacking of planning that is making not to pay it at once or pay the one year school fees at once?. When you have monthly expenses, after settling them, you live on the reminder.

So it is not a lack of planning that is the cause. You earn monthly and you are required to pay for something for a year in advance. I hope you know that this one year rent payment is in advance and not in arrears. So, if you have not earned the one year salary, where do you get what you are going to save from?.

A lot of Land sale adverts and posts have swept off the
internet by self acclaimed Estate agents and companies with
juicy offers and cheap prices. In the circumstance, prospective
buyers are in a bid to procure the land unverified. May i relate
with you that once you make your payments, the estate
companies with default land documents then move to the next
available victims, leaving you to engage in unwarranted
expensive court litigation.
Before you engage in a landed transaction, make sure you
secure the attention and legal advice of a real estate solicitor to
help in negotiation, search, verification, and probably proper
execution of your final documents. Dont be appeased by a
mere receipt as its inadmissible in court as a proof of title to
land. Though the lawyer will charge his professional fees, but
its quite unquantifiable to the subsequent loss you will incur
on the entire land, when you have realised the land is fake.
For further enquiries, contact any of your lawyers or you can
rather reach us on 08068088866 and 09090803205. Thank you.

PILE FOUNDATION: pile are used to support the ground in unstable soil where a large structural loads are involved. Piles are driven into the ground by pile drivers, machines usually of a high frame with appliances for raising and dropping a pile hammer or for supporting and guiding a stream or hammer.
Pile foundation are used when the soil is cannot support the weight of the building or if the building has very heavy, concentrated loads, such as in a high rise structure, bridges or water tank.
Types are end bearing pile and friction pile
In end bearing piles, the bottom of end of the pile rest on the layer the strong soil or rock. The load of the building is transferred through the pile onto the strong layer.
And in the friction piles, the load transfer s the load of the building to the soil across the height of the pile, by friction, thats is the cylindrical sharp works to transfer the forces of the soil.

This is also not really a safe bet. Due to the recession, most schools now allow for part payment of school fees. Some even allow a carry-over of payment of school fees to the next term. Some will just withhold the child's result until you complete payment and doing this can be in February, March, May, June, July, August, October, November, December. So, which month is left out that you will now choose from?.

I respectfully disagree with you.

If you understood the purpose of a store you would know a window is not required.

As for your point in Canada, we have strict building codes. The Majority of houses are built to code if not all. Not by quacks esp in the major city I live.

Perhaps in rural areas you could claim a quack built them.

The OP is fine to continue his build the way it is. The only possible concern is the lighting for the lobby. Which to be honest is irrelevant when there is no natural lighting or electricity. Regardless of the design or length of a lobby every lobby in Nigeria will be dark.

I think you're just making a big deal out of nothing

My foreman complained about the quality of the windows delivered. The mitre not cut properly, the windows are not "lapping", the glass pane are falling out and almost all the windows can't open fully. In fact it was a classic case of a botched job. The "protectors" are out; some spacing are too wide apart some too close. Some are so wide that a grown man can go through sideways. Another argument between the window guy and my foreman. Window guy said my foreman was hyping things up to win favour from me. But I went with my foreman, so I asked work to be stopped, I'm flying over. But before I got on the plane, window guy pleaded for more funds, that he will complete the project but not install as I've instructed. When I come if there's any mistake he will correct this and then install "as I dey there". Fair enough, so I disbursed yet another N300K remaining N200K balance. Two days after disbursing I received a call that the window guy's mother died two weeks before and the burial is "next week".

Hello op. I am really shocked that folks think this your floor plan is OK. From my own point of view, it isn't and I owe Nairaland a duty to warn you and here are the points to note:

1. The bedroom close to the pre-sit or ante room is not cross ventilated.

2. The store has no window(opening outside) and therefore will be poorly lit as well as ventilated. Your foodstuffs could rot in a few days.

3. All the entrances to the rooms are wrongly placed.i.e you shouldn't walk into the closet before accessing the room itself. Proper thing is to locate the room first, then you move into your convenience enroute the walk-in-closet.

4. There is a long corridor that has no natural lighting and ventilation provision. Imaging when there is power outage, it will be a dark alley.

Please do not be carried away by the 3D. That design requires not just adjustments but a total overhaul. I hope you have not started digging yet. A word is enough to avoid pulling down your house after building. I can almost bet the designer isn't an architect. If at all a professional, it will be one of those structural engineers who dabble into architectural design, which is not their primary forte. He may be good with construction works but definitely not design. This isn't to spite him but to help op avoid wasting his money.

And nairalanders should note that the ability to generate 3D images is not limited to architects. So, do not be bamboozled by 3D images alone. Architects are trained first to resolve the elements of circulation and ventilation before any thing.

What other recommendations does one require @muyesky comes highly recommended by a few people who I have a lot of respect for on this thread. The pictures of his work are highly professional. PLEASE NOTE I never said he defrauded me . He has jus treated my project non chalantly. And keeps giving flimsy excuses.

I have used a few people on nairaland due to recommendations e.g nairalandlawyer and sezgy ( the Abuja guy) no problems. When sezgy was in Benin he even helped me to check on my site take pictures and send to me. I am still waiting to buy him a drink.

In the western world people rely on other people's reviews to make informed decisions. What is wrong with Nigerians?
