Wishing everybody a healthy and prosperous 2023

A fantastic and educative thread , had the privilege of meeting topsy and Gbadexy here , for my akala project . good people ,zero complaints so far . Contacted kolashangone on some other issues also . Same with Brabus, linked me with the pop board importer I purchased from

I rejoice with people that completed there various projects this year and for people like me that have not concluded , praying for Gods provision and wisdom to conclude soonest this coming year

For people embarking on new projects , there is nothing new under the sun , arguably worse times have happened in times past to Nigeria , probably and arguably late 80s and some part of the 90s , but we must move regardless . God will bless our legitimate hustle

@ Egunmogaji , all the best , had to go thru some of your post with the comments I read here , hope this particular experience is a shaken and not stirred experience, there is so much to discourage one living in Nigeria .


Thank you for the help too..

Hoping to do more together in 2023!!!!

It will be somehow difficult for the professional to scrutinize the quote you uploaded because the size of the building is not mentioned, whether bungalow, a storey building or more .

I have an observation I want to know more about our bathroom plans in 9ja. most houses with bathroom n toilet space of about 4ft by 8ft usually rectangular. like putting the wc toilet at the end and then putting the shower in the middle and the washing hand basin in the beginning. main while. it's actually better to put the shower at the end wc in the middle and washing hand basin at the beginning, this model makes it possible to either install a glass or shower curtain to separate the shower area but it rarely done that way. IS THERE A JUSTIFICATION OR REASON FOR THAT?

Atimes this arrangement normally dwpends on client choice. Some prefer WC to stay very close to the window or extractor fan

It boiled down to the designer reasoning and client choice .
I have done some in the past and present like the way you explained it .

I like the fact that both of you rotech77 and topsy23 have raised the issue of client choice in the final design and construction

I hired a Nigerian engineer (a product of a Nigerian university and a member of the NSE) who kept fighting my choices at every turn without providing reasons other than that he has been doing this from time immemorial and that I cannot teach him his job.

Finally had to let him go.

No one knows it all, and several times others have perspectives that can be valid.

From the pictures, I can see that you did not force your will on your client.

We learn everyday. Nobody know it all .. Client choice is one of the key to factor into design at preliminary stage.

Some engineers believe that they know it all and they are not ready to bend tobothers opinion.

V=IR can not do it all

Just like other have pointed out, it based on clients choice, But typically a Wc is around 2ft, if placed at the middle you have 2ft left, Now consider someone sitting on the closet leaning forward while pressing his/her phone( which most people actually do cheesy,) the space left will be so small that you will be having this choked up feeling because of the closeness of the wall in your front.

I recently worked with a client that told me that he gets irritated if his leg touches the water closet. Placing it at the middle will kinda impede passage.

Also remember that placing your wc at the middle will mean longer piping, Albeit if not place in correct gradient frequent clogging may occur

Lastly, placing your WC at the far end by the window gives your small bathroom this illusion of bigger space.

The middle space can better serve as a laundry space, remember not all apartments have a laundry space, people typically wash in their bathrooms

Unsolicited advice for the year.

Please, by all means, avoid anything that can make you become a regular in any Nigerian court.

If possible, find all means to settle out of court.

The drainage of energy, emotions, time, effort and resources as the complainant is not what I wish for you this year.

One court case is bad enough, not to talk of pursuing multiple cases at once, you will most likely keep feeding the officials of the law. (lawyers etc)

So once your instinct pick a hole in any major decision you are about to take, please take a long break from such decision till you have triple checked. (Could be business, investment or project)

May God order our steps and may we not work for others to spend this year.

I rest my case.
