A new day has dawn

We might be incorporating some bricks into this build. More updates later on this thread.

EgunMogaji2:
The VIP escaping the filter on your site won’t work for me.

My Oga said that the feature is enabled for all user.

The good thing about the platform we’re operating on is that the possibilities are endless.

n3xt:
Change tack... na you dey find something.

@Egunmogaji2

Could an ignore user button have worked here sir?



I became who I am today working for a man who hated me
As a matter of fact, I hit it big from his friend whom he claimed was not a paying client. I can still remember him asking those in the office whom he can send to the guys project because he’s not a paying client

I helped the guy work on the project right in front of Tinubu’s house in Bourdillon and within 2 weeks I started getting up to 1 million per week (almost 2 decades now) and connection to high fliers.

But since yahoo, it seems humility is no longer a virtue.

Despite how harsh my boss was, I served him very well.

Greenarrow01:
How many square metres is the land pls

400sqm

sonnie10:
I saw something new today and would want to share it here. Instead of wasting wood on forming beams, why can't we use many of two matching (twin) pieces of hollow angled pre-cast concrete blocks that would look like mini gutter shape ( about 1M length each} where the rods would be placed in and the concrete mix poured in permanently?

Go to your concrete block maker and you’d be shocked to see that the hollow block method is more expensive than the traditional wood method.

Progress pictures from the construction site.

EgunMogaji2:
Question for the pros.

The original design for the roof is hip and that’s where I stopped laying blocks.

I want to change the design to gable roof. So do the bricklayer go up or he waits for the roof to be framed first?

Thanks.

I’ll do my A-frame first then block work.

EgunMogaji2:
@ N3xt, so on your Kobo thing, do you have ignore user filter?

Thanks.

There are different user levels. I think that feature works for VIP/Pro-Forum Members.

@mank1234 am I right?

Next
Pls put estimate of total cost of production along the line pls

It seems this is your first journal/diary
I am not sure sha
But I want to see how this will come off.
I love the fact that you are so open to innovative ideas in builds
Enjoy.

Information well received. I’ll discuss with my client and we will decide on what to do.

Hi Everyone! We're building again and this construction journal serves as a record of the daily activity associated with the new project we're doing. The journal will be accessible to all interested parties (suppliers, subcontractors, decorators, architects, builders, prospective home owners and many others) but particularly useful to the owner of this beautiful project. The thread will serve as a record describing who was on site, what was done, problems that arose and progress made daily. Please feel free to post comments or questions to this thread.

So here we go again, bookmark or follow this thread to find out how it goes and I do hope this inspires you to get out and just do it.

qwertyboss:
this guy doesn't help at all!
he doesn't even reply me...
this is very bad...
atleast a decent reply will do

Change tack... na you dey find something.

Architectsly:
1. U should have an entrance porch to your ante room
2. Be creative enough whenever you intend having your visitors toilet window towards the approach view
3. Try and work on your Space Analysis (i.e the dining is almost bigger than the main living room)
4. Introduce a Laundry in your design besides the bar was like an after thought
5. Do the furniture arrangements and you will agree with me the Zoning of both living and dining is poor
6. Try and have a walk in closet for both Madam and master bedrooms..
7. Too many exits, whats your security measures??

In as much as I would commend your work you also have to consider the Nigerian factor or Architecture in your build
Thanks

Thanks for the detailed review. I believe the OP has enough info to help him decide his next step.

There’s a new sheriff in kobocity. The great kobocitizen, Judy1 is dishing out some valuable contents on the forum for free

Day 1 Update: XL6 Trillion | Atrium House

A week from this day, we will breakground at this project site but here I am in a strait betwixt maintaining two online forum to provide followers with progress updates on this project.

I’m thinking of sharing the project deliverables (weekly) according to the project schedule on nairaland while I share daily progress pictures and updates on kobocity.com

Today, we started by starting.

bixton:
Thanks.
Looking forward to a successful project.

Amen. Thanks

bixton:
Nice 3D...
Can you by any chance drop the floor plan...hope your client won't deny us this privilege.....thanks.

Sure. The floor plans will be shared. My client has no issues with making that happen.

EgunMogaji2:
The Olisa

With tasteful modifications to satisfy the project owner who is a quality eyed a$$hole

Interesting times ahead!

My impression improved as I heard that project code name. That build needs to be in an environment with a lot of merit.

Let me be the plothunter.

EgunMogaji2:
Congratulations.

A cousin build of this will start as soon as I secure appropriate land.

Not a very good arrangement bro.

Too many things aren’t right on this. Your family lounge is too small for the size of that building.

I’ll also have issues with the room arrangement

spyder880:
Oga Egunmogaji2 , n3xt, kopell, KolaShangOne, diordaves , Michlins, uncleteeh and all my friends here, how do you like this house design, a high roof bungalow.

Happy weekend to you all.

This is super nice. Lovely design and a matching roof.

I really love the window design.

Stevo30:
If you like some crazy house design, check out this upside down house

This is not for the 50s. I have crazier designs though.

uncleteeh:
With due respect sir, I hope the final users of this staircase are young bloodied cause it will get to a point whereby it will get boring for the aged ones sir, 50 upward may find it strenuous at a point.

Yes they're young bloods like the Tony Elumelu’s of this world.

By the time I’m 60, I’d be living in a penthouse like the Chika Mordi’s of this world.

My eyes on you. You got game

Lightweight steel construction is bae. I also found something I’m considering in my new builds on the project - zigzag staircase.

Thanks for sharing. I got value!

Thanks for the pent tank tower idea. My client is pitching tent in that direction.

folmus:
That will be a good one and we will be observing to patronize you.
We want symbiotic relationship and not parasitic.

Chop make I chop

kopell:
Hahaha, I just like to get you engaged, even with your busy schedules you still find time out to respond. I give it to you bravo.

No one is busy. It’s just a matter of priorities and this forum is a big priority to me.

EgunMogaji2:
A funny story. The apprentice at my welding parts store has been there for three years and mine was the first chipping hammer they’ve sold. People don’t buy the required stuff. Even I had to teach my welding teacher about differences in electrodes.

I picked up some hearing protect yesterday. I’m doing more grinding work now due to more welding.

The same here sir. The man who sold this to me asked me to show him how it’s used.

This is someone who has been in the trade for almost 3 decades.

theForth:
I'll love to contribute to this page in my own little way, perhaps I can post about prices in ceramic tiles and plumbing materials.

Pls do share everything (prices and all the need to know information) with us. Position yourself as an authority in your field.

No be all of us get time to dey enter market. Some of us just want to talk to experts and they give us what we want at the right price minus the worries.

Too many people just want to advertise and get business here without giving back to the community.

I have something you might like.


Chipping Hammer
I think I got around 2500 or 4k from my building materials supplier.

Let me come and steal some ideas. Your page is getting more view than mine sir

EgunMogaji2:
I can’t tell though I noticed the beveled edges

If you engage a surveyor, he comes to site with his ranging rod/surveying pole.

Why do builders waste money buying pegs and woods for setting out from site to site?
Regardless of how cheap those items are, it’s a complete waste of money in my view.

I know you talked briefly about this few months ago and I took note of the idea.

Now I’m working on something cool and reusable for setting out buildings.

That the whole world (including professor emeritus of construction) is not doing it doesn’t mean we can’t alter the course and be the difference that makes a difference.

I’ll share the design notes and sketches on my kobocity DIY projects page.
