I fear who no fear you oh! I dove my hat for you, man. You know how to piece it all together to get the point home. ...but you had your hands full. It was an herculean task to get hold of you and get you to consult. That is one thing i think some of you experienced hands should consider more and be open to. I understand the reluctance to take on jobs mid-way but y'all should be open to call-out consultancy services as SMEs, especially for client's oversight functions irrespective of whether there is a builder on the job or not. But yeah,it is what it is. Gracias! kobocity: 1 Like |

Hello guys, With the ever increasing price disparity between local and TMT iron rods, i have been wondering if paying premium for TMT rods makes any difference to concrete strength or structural integrity in general? All things being equal, is it worth it? What makes a concrete thick? I am not one to fall for the psychological appeal. same way we all do Dangote cement by default but when push comes to shove we were all happy to take any brand in the market to get the job done. If local rods will get the job done satisfactory, why pay 25-30% extra for TMT? Again. all things being equal and standard work practices followed. Yay or Nay? |

Great engaging discussion on open voids you've got there. Those points are spot on too and i share similar sentiments, just as expressed here a few days ago when someone posted a plan for review. kobocity: megacontrol: 2 Likes |

Sometimes things are not as complicated as we make it seem. From the pictures it appears your land is already fenced...If so, clear the debris and sand fill your land above the drainage and gutter height. If you have to, then block off the gutter drain off into your land for now. when it is time to build, you'll incorporate drainage plans into your design. No big deal here. Access14: 3 Likes 1 Share |

Thanks for putting in the effort to work this out. This is quite reasonable and close to what is expected. Someone had recommended over 50KVA and it just didn't make any sense. Good job! topsy23: |

Hello, Can you be more specific about the land location? Where at the back of Monastry road? Is it down all the way after the Monastry itself or before White Dove/Fountain SpringVille side? or completely off that road? Add pictures and/or aerial view map if you have. Thanks taskcompleteng: |

This still makes sense too. So imagine someone say you need something upwards of 50kva for a slightly smaller build. No madam bedroom, pent house, open void. Thanks bixton: |

We are still at preliminary stages, infact it's still at conception but a stakeholder had given a hint at the capacity and i considered it outrageous so i wanted to double check for a rough estimate. There is definitely no swimming pool. Every other power component is standard as would be expected in a decent lekki fully detached 5-bed duplex build. Thanks topsy23: |

Hello people, Pls what is the capacity of the power generator that will be installed in a TYPICAL 5-bedroom duplex? I know load calculation is normally required but I'm looking to hear from our seasoned M&E specialists, builders, home owners etc. that may have experience with such. Let's just say the building has everything - A/Cs, water heaters and all whatnot in all the rooms. Roughly will do for now Thanks |

There are a few places you can try to introduce more widows. - Bedroom on the GF left: can relocate the wardrobe, move the WC/SH inward, then open a second smaller window to the bedroom. Mirror same on other side after swapping the right bedroom with the game room. - Living room: if that wall shared with the kitchen is the entertainment wall, then may consider opening a window on the wall in front of building and behind the sofa (depending on your consciousness to security level and privacy) - Master bedroom: can use two windows on the wall by the headrest of the bed. All above are not as important as the other suggestion someone made to switch the positions of the game room and RHS bedroom. Personally I will never do a void but that's me. A friend is trying to cover his void back after using for just a few years, i dont know why tho. That's a very good design you have there. kingzsoul: 1 Like |

You could have also used pipe ducts, but that's too late now. so, consider one of the suggestions already provided and take note for next time. boyestic: 1 Like |
