Which is wickedness.

You're increasing the price but reducing the quality.

Pure wickedness!

Structural engineers should design structures with this in mind by ensuring structures are adequately reinforced.

I installed 0.75hp semi submersible pump for my borehole and it fills up my 1000 liters within 12 mins

What brand is it and the suggestive price?

Please I need suggestions and advice on any suitable submersible pump that I can use to pump water from a borehole to a 25ft level above the surface.

The power rating, brand and cost will suffice.

Kindly assist with more suggestions. A decision is imminent.

the submersible pump is sold based on horsepower, the horsepower you should buy depends on the depth of the borehole and the quantity of water in the well. A 0.5hp pump can pump water to a distance of 50meters or more which should be ideal for you. installing a higher horsepower without sufficient water in the borehole will likely burn your pump. Interdap submersible pump is a good pump to buy and the 0.5hp is about 47-50k

And here we go again, small family lounge.
I don't know the reason for all these small parlours, when you could easily remove the Wall and incorporate the lobby into the lounge.

For me, the sitting room should be as large as possible. Remove the walls and if possible Use only one entrance in front instead of two

I don’t think the bedrooms doors are kissing each other But the room and the bathroom’s doors are close to each other.

Anyway I brought it here because I want you guys to look at it and tell me how to improve it. I don’t think that I’ll get back to him today before he print them out. Thanks for your contribution.

Thanks for you contribution. I told him to manage the one plot because I would like to have more building in future. Maybe two bed or one bed But that depends on what is left and I still don’t want small family lounge as this. I don’t know if he can increase it a little. He has been trying to convince me to go with this. Maybe I should share the survey plan.

I am also looking at the option of
1) 4kva . 48v inverter
2) 3×220ah batteries with the option to add another battery in future if needed

Someone just mentioned above, you can't use three (3) batteries, and he's right.
I'll advice to add Solar power to the setup to give you some real leverage.



I don't deal in inverters but I have a home system and I have spent quite a bit to get to where I am today.
First off, we need to understand your capacity requirement.
I have a 1.7kVA pure sine wave inverter. It powers usually 6 LED bulbs at any given time between 7am and 10pm.
PS 1: change all your lighting to LED (not Energy saving, LED)
I don't have ceiling fans, as I find rechargeable standing fans more energy efficient (ratio 2:1).
My cable TV decoder, home internet modem, phone charger, Flat screen TV and laptops are also always on.
I needed to change my refrigerator to an Energy saving model (Samsung or LG with Digital / Smart inverter technology). This made a whole world of a difference with easing feeding the family as the refrigerator is connected to the inverter via a timer that turns it on at 9:15am and turns it off at 4:15pm everyday in the event of a power outage. The drain on the batteries are minimal compared to your conventional refrigerators with compressors having 7 to 8 times the running power to start.
My wife can power the blender when she's cooking during the day.
We also have a top loading LG washing machine bought for 30k back in 2013 that we still use ONLY during sunlight hours so we don't impact the batteries.
All of this is powered by 8 x 300W Canadian Solar panels I have on the roof of the rented apartment. Four (4) panels towards the rising sun and four (4) towards the setting sun for maximum irradiation.
What's the convenience of all this?
I only buy fuel to power my generator when there's been more than two days of strong cloud cover or to do some quick ironing when we have extended power outages.
For example: I purchased 30 litres in October 2019 and had to refill in March 2020 just as the corona virus lock downs were announced.
Recommendations: buy [b]Full River 200AH batteries. [/b]You don't really need four batteries. get a 24v system
You need an original Solar Charge MPPT Controller. I use ePever 60A.
Afripower 1.7KvA inverter, I know someone who got this in 2018 one other person and myself. Serves well and costs 75k. Afripower is close to Toyota bus stop at Oshodi-Isolo.
Got my solar panels from Gennex Technologies in Ajah. First four in 2018 and then the next four in 2019. It cost 50k per 300W panel then.
Before you install the panels, ensure to do a little survey on your roof. Use a good technician that won't make your roof leak and ensure you see where the early morning sunlight and late evening sunlight falls.
Hope this helps.

That 3 bedroom bungalow is too tedious.
Tge lobbies will be very dark. You will need artificial light even in the afternoon.
The architect must av worked according to how you want it to be. The breath of the building is 12.5m, I'm sure you ain't approving the design.
Have you seen how the site plan will look like? What about the roof plan? The building has a lot of recesses which will have impacts on the roof.

Note to all: Don't let 3ds decide your building designs. The functionality is a great deal. (The 3ds of buildings like these always look extra fantastic.)
I rest my pen.

Thanks for your contribution Sir. Honestly I don’t know anything about building before now. I’ve been following this page for few years now and that is why I decided to post this here. I told him to convert the Dinning balcony to additional space in the family’s lounge.

There are too many doors here. You can
1. Remove the door D2 between the lobby and the ante room and wall up the opening.
2. Remove completely the two walls between the family lounge and the lobby. This will increase the size of your family lounge..
3. Ignore the balcony by the dinning and wall up the exist door opening there.
4. Also, increase the size of the window at the entrance porch for better illumination.
