I hear you loud and clear. Lots of reaching around goes on in Nigeria over real estate sales. Hyper overhyping

In the USA we have MLS where all the active real estate listings and sales are listed on. With this a good Realtor will be able to calculate going prices for property in an area in any corner of the USA. Things like closeness to fire station, school district rating, public transport, shopping, etc go in to factor the going $ per square foot. In Nigeria I haven't found this. No one knows. I'm selling a property in Ijebu Ode as an example and all I have to go by i just intuition.

So me I don't participate in that tomfoolery I just go out to the suburbs and buy land in wholesale. I've never bought any land over N500K in Nigeria and I use that as a baseline. Some plots I bought in Elebu, Ibadan for N500K are now selling for N6.5M. These are facts that I know first hand.

As always. What I post is not a bible, just my opinion and doesn't mean its the only way.

Solid doors..

What kind of wood was used in this masterpiece?

Any idea on the price of each door?

EgunMogaji2:
Could you share the maker of these doors with me? Hopefully he’ll be localish to me.

Thanks.

There are lots of 4 bedrooms 7 bath houses all over the U.S and U.K .. I am not sure if things are regulated in those places

I lived in a studio one time that has 1.5 bath.

As for your last quote, just like I said in my previous quote..there are 3 bed, 1 bath houses that people still hit their heads on the wall to rent. . Likewise there are areas in Nigeria where a land lord will have a hard time finding tenants for a 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment.

Market survey, market survey... build what you can rent quickly and steadily..unless you intend to live in all the flats

Mayor78:
Brabus are you stereotyping? What is it about the 'respect for Igbos' in that roofing? Are you suggesting that it is only Igbos that do or such high pitched roofs? I hope you are not because you are wrong if you are.

I am Igbo and I do not like and would not have such high roof on my building.

I would prefer having the lowest minimal pitch that would allow rain to run off the roof after rainfall. That is what I have now.

EgunMogaji2:
I don’t find anything compelling about that city. Nothing at all

Without security no tourist would be encouraged to visit there.

We both haunt most of the foreign sites where architects share floor plans and even dimensions.

How are they keeping alive then?

I saw the plans for my courtyard bungalow on eBay complete with dimensions.

I bought it and had Darenyx on here make some modifications for me.

I innocently share with the original architect, who I paid for the plan, that I made some changes.

A week later I got a letter in the mail from his lawyer advising me that I’m in violation of the plan ownership/purchase. That the only one allowed to make changes to it is his client.

My savings grace was that the build was happening in Africa. That was the loophole that it was not happening in North America but I still paid him a modification fee. Imagine if I didn’t actually buy the plan originally.

Long story short, architects can lawyer up too in Nigeria.

EgunMogaji2:
Why do Nigerian Architects hoard floorpans when their international counterparts do not?

Is it because Nigerian plan buyers go for the exterior looks instead of the interior flow of the houses?

michlins:
good morning sir. While we're on it, kindly know that I'm still up for other stuff

michlins:
oga mi shey you remember we have an ongoing project which you are yet to get back to me on.


Happy weekend

I am struggling to see where having 2 bedroom apartment both ensuite with a visitors toilet is an overkill design. I would question the judgement of an architect that made that observation.

So you live in a two bedroom apartment with your wife occupying one room, and your two young kids occupying the other room, then you have a family friend over for Sunday brunch, are you saying the family friend should use either of the ensuite toilets for convenience? No! It is not appropriate in this day and age. I don't need to bump into your wife or children or keep saying sorry each time I invaded their privacy on my way to ease myself in your house. There is a reason behind having a designated visitors toilet in an apartment or house. Any business there is private, and we all deserve some dignity and enjoy some level of comfort too within a shelter.

Therefore, any modern house design should avoid potential breach of privacy and comfort as part of its functionality. A communal 2 ensuite bedroom apartment without a visitors toilet fell below functional threshold irrespective. A good architect knew that.
