areas like Port Harcourt usually do something like this. They have access to pipeline pipes which are extremely durable.

Interesting. That is a one night pipe stand.
Might not work for multiple tanks.

The problem with any hollow pipe support is that if it is not fabricated or constructed properly there will be water ingress into it and it will rust from within.

It will be looking alright until the day it fails

This is also why lasg moved to have all hollow pipe telecoms masts replaced with angle iron style telecoms masts.

Though to counter what I wrote most steel tank stands are also hollow pipe, but 4 legs means you don't have a single point of failure.

Edit- from other posts it seems the stand is made from offcuts or discarded pipes for the oil and gas industry. So I guess you would be fine. In other parts of Nigeria they are likely to roll and weld metal sheets and present it to you as a pipe lipsrsealed

Is it advisable to tile the entire kitchen from the ceiling to the ground floor?

Not a bad idea ! Seen it on different projects, and it comes out well.

But by that alone, you have already justified his push for a peer review. Rest assured no potential client who follows your post history will be comfortable engaging you for any design.

Even more so as you have come out to state it clearly and unambiguously in a medium that can be documented

HE didn't understand what you have been trying to advise him about. Now he has played open, the cheat he truly is. You did half job, without the client knowing and you are expecting full payment. That's evil!

Me I have taken note of his moniker, face, and style of writing, nah to jakpa from anything that has to do with him.

And you wanted full payment?

So the client was right all along...knew something was amiss.

You just scored an own goal.

A very bad own goal at a crucial time.

Good evening everyone,

Please I need help, advice and suggestions on the following:

1. Is it compulsory to do nitel round the building or only on parts like doors and windows location?

2. Is it adviseable to put parapet on a building intended for rent? If yes, what should I estimate for it? Please see floor plan below.

3. How many blocks should I estimate from DPC level to nitel for the floor plan below?

I am asking this because the engineer quote over 500 more blocks than needed from foundation to DPC level and I lost some money in the process.

PS: This is a relatively small building for rent purpose and future plan is to start the major building once this is completed like a storey building.

Nice one.

But i often wonder what those topmost cabinet spaces are for.
And if used, how do you have access to them?
Please dont say ladder.
Wont a pantry be better?
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by ceelog(m): 4:18am On Dec 28, 2022
Nb: I am not an Engr or a building professional

1. Not compulsory but important.

2. Parapet is functional and aesthetic but not compulsory for rent. Since it is a BQ and funds are tight, fashi it.

3. Experts can help here. But rule of thumb. Count the number of blocks you used at the uppermost foundation line and then mutltiple by 9 plus 10% extra.

4. Buy your blocks in batches so that you will have less losses. Btw block no dey waste.

If you really want to bring out the beauty of that white color, you can do a little stripe of off color back splash beneath the white. 2-4 inches height.
