XL6 Trillion | Atrium House by NextHome

It’s exactly 40 days today since we officially broke ground on this project.

March 15 - April 24

By adhering to standards on this project, we are able to reduce redundancy, minimize errors, reduce downtime and avoid costly overruns despite the drastic increase in the price of building materials.

We pride ourself in delivering cost efficiency.

N3xt, how are you going to channel water out of that walkways with grasses and concrete walk ways? This is exactly what I have and want but I was told that it would be difficult for water, especially after heavy rains to flow out from that side walk ways and back yard with grasses, especially in areas pruned to flooding and high water table like lekki.

It is only when you have concrete floors, interlocking or stamped concrete that rain water could be able to flow out well from the compound and channelled to the outside gutter.

I hate the sight of stagnant waters after heavy downpours in a compound and I wouldn't want waters settling on grass lawns after heavy downpours.

EgunMogaji2:


Oga mi, you’re just going to pardon me las las.

Oga Michilin, oya nau, show us what’s possible

I saw the one posted by emmadejust. Those ones with key, moveable joints and screws that you could open and push to the end of the walls makes more sense.

Some Ghanians artisans did something like that and posted on you tube.

Sha remember to invite me to the roofing stage

EgunMogaji2:
I have a question for those that have gone there before me like Spyder880 especially.

I just acquired another 1 acre property for sale near the Omi Adio station. I'm toying with the idea of designing it as a micro estate. Fewer and smaller plots, central/shared gateman, shared borehole, bio digestive septic tank, small height fence between plots, perimeter fence, etc

How viable do you guys think this might be?

Thanks.

I welcome all inputs.

Here’s the layout of the acreage that I was considering using.

Good morning from Perfect Touch Aluminium. Thanks

Small issh.

- Drainage/sump pump
- Install french drain (perimeter drain around the building).
- Minimize water build pump by properly channel water from the roof to the public drainage.
- Install loose gravel (stone) around the walkway (of course with a landscaping fabric to keep weed away)
- lastly install and maintain a great lawn to help drain surface water with ease. Not artificial grass X
- Play with levels within while landscaping/hardscaping the compound.

It is only when you have concrete floors, interlocking or stamped concrete that rain water could be able to flow out well from the compound and channelled to the outside gutter.

Says who? I have hardscape and a great lawn and both do not get soggy during the rains. Neither am I lucky.

This is the major difference between a builder who gave an outright quote for a maintenance free building and the one who give it to you in piecemeal.

Experience trumps certificates

Pls i need suggestions

Yes

I forgot to mention that Im equally good at turning problems into blessing. The rainwater refreshes my 150sqm fish pond.

When I decided to dig a very big fish pond and started my aquaponic project, it wasn’t because I truly loved farming but I was at the receiving end of a slope and I knew I had to do more to protect my building and environment. Hence, the fish pond instead of stormwater drainage.

In January, we dredged about 3km canal to take care of water ponding my backyard so the fish pond is as good as gone. Now I’m extending my flood protection system to the newly dredged canal while planning to sandfill the fish pond to build another house.

It’s not cheap neither is it expensive but it was fun and the experience is worthwhile.

This man!! I agreed biko. Experience trumps certificates. Some are parading lot of certifications, yet, one Baba Lati could still take them to the cleaners when it comes to the real thing.

Drop picture of this french drains make we see. Sure, we will install rain gutters but you know Ajah and Lekki axis well as torrential rains could be unforgiven in those areas. To be sincere, I haven't seen much build in that axis with natural grass lawns or walkways.

It is only in PH that I saw lot of homes with lawns without stagnant water retention issues, especially in the old GRA area of PH. Most homes there have well maintained lawns without stagnant waters.

Na the bolded part dey get me worried pass.

Scores of agents flock the site on a daily basis to use the project to advertise their estate and even do their land deals, we don’t stop them.

Many videos of the build are already on Instagram by different agents and real estate promoters.

Wetin com be confidentiality again

The invitation will be delivered very soon once the roof guys move in.
Many thanks to my client who believed in us.

Building using our approach is never easy because the fund must be intact but it’s worthwhile as we never had to contend over variations and unprofessional cry about rising cost of building materials (no be today materials price start to go up in Nigeria).

A smart builder definitely should know how to stay within budget without compromising on quality.

Baba, Lekki is not alien to me o. I’ve built in location that are more flood prone than where you are building.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/2533591_image_jpeg9f360c5ab7736510df54c882e9dbf188

I’ve lived and worked in the worst of Lekki so I know most of the terrains.

I’ve also built beachfront. The torrential rains couldn’t be pose much challenge as tidal waves of the sea.

The problem with Lekki and Lagos is corrupt govt. I witnessed the construction of the drainage system in PH. Drainage design in Lagos be like childsplay. Ask anyone who knows.

Lagos is just an overhyped city tbh.
I wish Lagos is Edo state with better planning and road network, you won’t have to be worried about how to drain your compound.

True, true... Edo no be LAGOS.

I be Yoruba but not a bigot. I give credit to those who deserved it.

1. French drain
2. Trench drain
3. Perimeter drain

Sorry, but that’s just me.

Tons of folks on here stop showing their builds when they get to a critical stage.

I agree but it’s to their disadvantage if you ask me. Yet most run to Pinterest and Houzz.com to draw inspiration

Seeing is believing.

That’s why I so much loved the idea of having a construction journal for every build - especially when the owner is away. Whichever way it turns (good or bad), it leaves a lesson for those who are new to construction.

You become more valuable by adding value to more people.


Well that’s just me

A well laid underground drainage with rooster can serve that purpose perfectly.

Prefer stone design some
Also prefer the normal pre cast design or so


I will go for stone design though, look mature and all
