The drawing looks ok,
No perfect drawing anywhere.
I will only suggest that you can inter change the dressing room to toilet, so that the plumbing piping system will be simple and lesser in cost because of the distance to the second room toilet.
( upper floor )

Thanks

I think the dressing room is to serve both rooms, so if moved to the other side, may likely not serve the master bed optimally.

This is massively apt...
The sky can't be your limit!

Thanks.
I’ve made 3 or more people from here tow the same path.

Chateau in Ilè Oluji 2013| We did electrification (6 poles ), 5.4m box culvert and earthwork of 1km community road

Oluyole Grandeur 2019 | We did rural electrification (10 poles, solar streetlights), 6m box culvert and earthwork of 1km community road.

I believe people are what makes cities great. Better societies are built from the heart and not from our complaints.

Please house, help review this plan.

Thanks in advance.





Don't blink...

The laundry and the kitchen having a strong relationship isn't right to me, can you move dirty clothes and probably kids messed up napkins through your kitchen to the laundry?
Assuming you want to achieve a proper laundry then it should have a verandah attached to it, where you can hang some clothes to dry up during rainfalls.

The inclined wall just created a little unusable space, you can straighten the wall.

Finally, coordinate your dimensions. I just saw 939mm for door opening, 3664mm for bedroom, there ain't right.

Above all the plan works well.

Daalu.

Good afternoon my good people of nairaland, please help me review the attached quotation for electrical work for 4 bedroom duplex all en-suite. Is the quantity and price okay please

Why can't your electrician do it this way to save you some money

1.5mm single core cable
Red 7
Black 7
Green 4

2.5mm single core cable
Red 5
Black 5
1.5mm green 5

4mm single cable
Red 4
Black 4
2.5mm green 4

Also , why having 3red for the 10mm,

This is a 4 bedroom duplex and besides how many distribution board do you have ?

To me 10mm should be
Red 2
Black 1

Also, be very careful, so that you won't buy re-brand or re-coil cable

Please who know or have an idea of what it cost to get a registered survey on a land in Benin City and what the processes involved?

Good question. Will make more inquiries. Vendor said the distributor doesn't always honor the price given ahead of time, the price when it arrives is usually higher and they have to pass on the cost.

Will ask around for comparison’s sake

These prices are for the FCT

Please house, I bring this matter to this forum because I engaged this person on here, I am totally lost for words and seriously disappointed with work done by [b][/b]Alphamale Bio Digester. Apparently, he copies work done by others online and post it as his work! because this is what he did at my site! Photo & video attached, nothing close to what he posted on his Facebook page! I honestly expected what I saw online. unfortunately, that was not the case. I engaged him to do 2 of these, and from the start I had concerns, he kept saying “everything will be well, he has been doing this for 3 years”., he is not new at this” but when I got to the site yesterday, this was what I saw, I was so disgusted I can hardly stand, the other artisans on site were dying laughing at my reaction because they told him.
Now to the facts, I have already paid 200k for 2 out of the 350k I was billed for 2. This was suppose to be casted, he used blocks, dug a hole and buried blocks to absorb the water, I told him I had doubts about that working, he said he will add some chemicals, he added some coconut shell! I am still owing 100k, but based on what I have seen on ground, I will have to start all over again. Honestly, the level of unprofessionalism is shocking for what he expects me to pay 350k for. There is more, but I am so pissed off! Please your opinion because he actually thinks he did a good job!

What is this? You should ask for a refund damn.

This stuff that look like burial ground…. grin

I still don't know why people still give out jobs because of pictures so-called artisans copy and paste on line. Some people are only good at posting beautiful pictures but when you give them jobs then 'sorry' will be your name. The real professionals do more work than they stay on line. I can go about taking pictures of beautiful houses, septic tanks, doors, windows, gates, roofing sheets and so on, after that I post them here, beat my chest and brag my head out.

It is Very easy to become an engineer 'overnight' in this platform.

Please let's be smart it is a modern day.

This is terrible, it has to be redone, but not by the same person.

Real builders don't have the time for long epistle and posting multiple pictures.

Seeing these pictures unleashed my creative juices

So I started thinking, what can be achieved with bamboo which is readily available locally and found these.

Hope these inspires others as much the pictures you have shared have inspired me to do more with wood
U can achieve alot of designs with bamboo, I will soon be posting a bamboo fence design in lekki here, the only thing is to get the right bamboo, treat them, polish and seal them so they will look the same . Call or WhatsApp me on 09036346989
