Egun the thing tire me with Nigeria small business owners.
You will see a shop owner contact you for help to pay the shop rent. That the rent has expired. But why should I help pay the rent? Have you not been trading in that shop? What happens to keeping your rent aside?

Another one is, I want to go to market. My shop is empty. Please send me money.

People please invest back into your business. Put money aside regularly for investment and exigencies.

They attend functions and throw parties the most.

bobkezel:

What about the dining, should I step it down too?

One is stepping down for the other already.
The Sitting room's floor should be lower to the dining. The dining and kitchen floors could be on same level if designed along similar path.

bobkezel:

I'm stepping the sitting room down. So I don't how it's going to look like.

It will definitely look great.
If you like it go for it. A step of 150mm (½ft) is good.

Here we are.

Living a healthy life is very important. Having a healthy environment is equally a great deal.

There is actually an established, scientific Formula for design Staircases, based on their Length and Height, to determine the Risers.
Builders need to use it.

The Half landing takes off the Leg Stres, Save Space and is pleasing .
to the eyes
Accidents may happen if a Staircase is not well designed because anyone may fall when walking on it.

Yeah.
Maybe the structure in question wasn't designed by an architect.
Climbing a staircase is stressful, and inadequate design of some particular components in a building could make such house boring to live in.

Yeah. We deliver.

Hmmn, one tiring aspect of building, from the owners perspective is when you have made frantic effort to search for a supposedly qualified builder/engineer, negotiated, paid and what he does is just to assembly some local slowpoke called artisans together, take them to the site, mobilize them (with a very tiny fraction of what you paid him), and off he disappears! You won't see him again! He shows up only to ask for balance, this is my headache with you guys, all my friends and family that are building also have the same or similar situation...... Anytime I talk about engineers or even architect, experience friends and family member go just laugh, their thought, 'just assemble those artisan together and tell them what you want to achieve'... Your so called engr will most likely do the same... This method doesn't resonate with me, but it's just what it is..

Probably you haven't been meeting with contractors that don't have a name to build or protect.
Good folks are out there.

Naijapal:


The flight of this stairs is too long. While it looks nice, it functionally not okay. It would be tiring for kids to climb.

Even for adults.
Half landing should have been introduced in 2 to 3 places.

Focusmind:


Attention to detail is a scarce skills among artisans in Nigeria. I nearly landed hot slap on my tiller's apprentice. I was telling him how to make the finishing of the upper and lower part of the door tile areas look good and smooth. He was arguing with me saying "wetin I know for tiling work".

As a professional, if you are not ready to provide proper supervision, please don't take the job.

One funny question EgunMogaji2 usually ask contractor here is whether the person is involved in actually doing the job (hands-on) or whether he is a jobman/supervisor - those that collect jobs and sub-let to other unqualified people. There is nothing wrong with either the two o

Very simple.

Let's do you befitting architectural designs

Hmmm, this is serious, decking is a very critical stage.
@biigtee, hope the latest engineer assured you that the decking will work fine.
If not, it may need to be abandoned so as to avoid accident today or later in future.

Happy Sunday To All And Sundry. May the week be fruitful to us all.

If a doctor makes a mistake a patient dies. If an architect makes a mistake many may die.

Exactly sir.

EgunMogaji2:


After 5 years? Please just let sleeping dogs lie.

Hopefully you’ll be transitioning from there to your own house but if you happen to rent then please get an agreement.

Grt advice sir.

dapotemi:
Wow so so revealing and many thanks to lastpage and all other beautiful contributors... My own case is quite a dilemma... I have stays in a rented apartment for about 5 years now, and you know what, like lastpage said, I paid for agreement, agency fee, caution fee but I did not get a single document... In fact, since have been paying rent (Tru bank transfers of course), my landlord/agent just acknowledge with a text message and that is it.. He's not disturbing me, and am not disturbing him, we are cool... I have never received a single receipt for all payment, neither did I get any document termed agreement. I have never been worried, seems I am now.. I pay a little above a mil.. What do you think lastpage and all other contributor pls?

Sir, here's my own piece of advice, let it slide, some agents/house owners are fetish, kindly don't go into argument.
