Hi, do you still have any active leads on this subject?

JustAvo:
Lekki de for island naim make em de require for soil test for 2floors... For mainland, it's rare, however, it's required for structures starting from 3floors+...


Ur capped words are not totally true... It only takes that long if twas discovered that ur documents ain't complete, ur Arch. drawings dint meet up wif either the number of car packing spaces for each family unit(which is 2)
You dint meet up wif set back which is 6m from the road, 3m from ur fence....
the number of floors u intend to erect is not in line with the city's master plan(like IMCP - Ikeja Model City Plan)....
it goes on and on...
Like someone mentioned earlier, na human being de do the work (which means de can be gingered
Here @ the Ikeja district office, some people get theirs' in 17 working days, some 30 and others(d unlucky ones) a year +

ideally, it's supposed to take two weeks, i.e if u meet up with all the requirements... I can't say they've been meeting up wif d two weeks thingy, however, em de anchor am for every of their meeting n as Romans 10:17 talk... I de sure say em go start to de meet up very soon.

Hi, I will like to seek your opinion on the comparison between both types of roof styles i.e. the flat roof hidden by parapet wall vs the high pitched style with coated sheets.

Comparison in terms of cost, durability, easy of construction, maintenance etc.
For sure we know the flat roof with parapet wall is far better aesthetically, but will like to know how the other factors compares assuming the same surface area to be roofed.

Thanks to help out with any useful info.

Here is an example of a building with flat roof.
This five bedroom flat has a flat roof, as you can see from the picture, the roof is completely hidden and other building geometry is used to provide the necessary esthetics

OK noted.

I have a design which is already in progress with another architect. The guy is also good and concept is contemporary and similar to some of your work I’ve seen here.

I will contact you when it’s show time to get your estimate as the decision on builder is still open.

Thanks

Its Simple! Pitched Roof Requires more Wood and and must be Stone coated, to Fit into this age and time. While hidden roof should be Aluminium Roofing sheet with almost half the wood Required for a Pitched roof.
PropertiesRe: Best Architectural, Interior And Construction Works by megacontrol(m): 10:01am On Oct 27, 2017
Thanks a lot man for taking time to respond from your seemingly busy schedule.

I completely agree with you on below points.
1. Hidden roof is more technical to build
2. Pitched/Sloped roof requires less maintenance
3. Hidden roof gives more aesthetic look

The hidden parapet wall roof is actually my personal preference but from all I have heard it is significant more expensive, so I am surprised to read the part in bold that it is indeed cheaper. This i will like to confirm.

Cheers

skimanski:
Hello Boss,

The thing about Hidden/Flat roof and Pitched Roof is Preference. Most CLients I work for just Tend to Prefer that Hidden Roof.

In terms of Pros and Cons, the Hidden Roof is Somewhat Cheaper, but A bit more Technical than the Pitch Roof. Also the Pitch is requires less Maintenance than the Hidden roof.

Note also in terms of Aesthetics, the looks depend on the client, as some Like the Pitch roof while other like the Hidden roof. But from my own Perspective, Though Both Roof styles are nice, I am Know that Hidden roof Buildings tend to look very unique and nice for a longer period of time than the Pitched Roof buildings, this is because lesser Buildings have Hidden roof so you don't see it too much to get too used to it.

Thanks

PropertiesRe: Best Architectural, Interior And Construction Works by megacontrol(m): 7:06pm On Oct 26, 2017
Hello,
Good thread you got going here, very nice designs on show as well.
Observing your designs I can see you tend more towards the hidden roof design generally, more like a parapet wall roof in most cases.

My questions are;
1. What are the pros and cons of the parapet wall roof vs the monopitch (slopped) roof style or other standard styles out there? I am more interested in the comparison btw parapet walled roof & monopitch.

2. Any substantial cost difference btw those two designs mentioned above, assuming the same surface area is to be roofed?

Please feel free to add any other useful info.

Thanks

I was just searching and found your post so i really like to know how this panned out eventually.

I am wondering what the cost difference is between this monopitch style and parapet wall type.

Thanks to provide any info on how you finally did this.

Wrong!
Auto windows used to be a requirement in the days when the lowest entry was 2010 and also when it was lowered to 2006, the car wouldn't even pass inspection then. So you should check if that's still the case or waived when it was lowered further to 2000 entry.
The info used to be on the website then, so that may be a good place to check.

This is an example of why many drivers will continue to go out of business. A driver has shown this newbie partner pepper now we will not hear sincere driver criticism.
That's one less car for the greedy drivers among the lot.
More owners are pulling out cars on a daily due to bad experiences with drivers, it doesn't help the sincere ones trying to get going.

@Xeedorf sorry about your experience, its become the norm lately. You should have protected yourself more and reduced your exposure. If you can drive the car yourself like you are considering, albeit only on weekends, please do just that.

InvestmentRe: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by megacontrol(m): 7:01pm On Oct 22, 2017
Hi, using this numbers you sighted for example. Assuming he was credited the 162k interest upfront, will he then be credited N5m or N4838000 at the end of the 91days tenure? Thanks

TONY56:
Me think the problem is that the man who did the 91days treasury bills did not know that the rate given him is for one year and not for 91days.

If @cyberwaver had revealed the actual rate for the 91days tenor instead of writing 10%+, it would have been easy to actually confirm the interest that should have been left in the man''s account.

The other problem is that the investor did not know that Stanbic bank does not deduct the whole money invested but leaves the upfront interest in the account debiting the account only with the discounted amount.


My very good guess is that the investor invested N5m for 91days at the rate of between 13% & 13.25% and about N4,838,000 was deducted from his account thereby leaving about N162,000(his up front interest) in his account which is correct.
He is most likely a first timer and thinks the about 13% rate is for 91days instead of dividing it by approximately 4 to get the actual rate for 91days.

He probably went into it thinking he would get N684,000 in 91days grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin
InvestmentRe: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by megacontrol(m): 6:59pm On Oct 22, 2017
Why do i have a feeling this your "someone" is you... LOLZ

cyberwaver:
Guys who is using stanbic for Tbills... I don't know how they are charging their own..

But someone did N5M with stanbic but they deducted like 480K+ and they left the remaining in his account, I just want to know are they going to be paying the interest monthly because I don't know how 10%+ for 91 days tenure will be N162K for 5million Naira.

The guy is angry, I just want to know whether its normal for stanbic users maybe I can explain more to him.

I await your replies guys.
