Akerewe:


This is not as complex as the initial one u posted earlier. This is made possible with the use of male to female elbow of 2 nd half inches to 1 inch reducer

But the initial one is more complex before it is very rare to see a reducer of 4, 6, 12 inches to one inch, that is why they make use of that pvc mufro clamp as a reducer

. . . you probably had me mistaken for someone else, was only showing you what i felt you were talking about and that was my first post cry

Architectural designs can be subjective, usually in designs of residential buildings a level of compromise should be achieved between the designers knowledge and the clients needs and requirement, in reality it is a 50-50 situation. This is the reason why homeowners should be actively involved in the conceptualization of their designs.

Why guests toilets are positioned in the foyer or lounge areas of the buildings usually is to maintain privacy, owing to the fact that foyers and lounge are a semi public area where guests have not too restricted access. It is only right to place the toilets there to avoid the guests getting to know what goes on in other parts of the building which might be private.

A smelly and unkept guest toilet is a function of hygiene and not an Architectural failure, after all people go to toilets of big hotels and establishments to take pictures and dress up. A guest that messes up your toilet should not get an invite another day lol.

PS: The design here is a 4 bedroom bungalow with a pent apartment.

and I'm sure their quotations were not scrutinized back in the day. If you told a client it's 16mm rods that is required he has no authority to argue. Look at the pyramid of Egypt, built with so much precision and accuracy because it was slaves working then and they knew the implication if they get cute on the job. Thousands of workers were exercuted to out fear into the others and compel the to do the right thing. The only question then was if you are qualified for it compared to today where a client tells you that baba suliat has built 4 girls hostels and has 20years experience in construction. Brace yourself up for more building collapse in the future, we are even lucky today there are more safety implementations so on an eventual building collapse it will be 10-15 persons dying because back in the day when a stone weighed as much as 80kg, a whole lineage was wiped out in a single catastrophe.

Reminds me of the Biblical Building Code in Deuteronomy 22: 8:

“When you build a new house, make a parapet around your roof so that you may not bring the guilt of bloodshed on your house if someone falls from the roof.”

Thank you brother for your reply. I just finished speaking with the engineer and he explained that the dimension is 2.4m by 3m by 2.6m. Also, he explained that block is not required in the quote because the type of soak away being done are the casted ones which would be sunk because of the topography of the area.
You welcome. But next time, not only You but others, always query your Engr/Artisans when a quotation is sent to You. So we can Know how to address your questions accurately.
Concrete Septic Tank system is always costly to erected. I can't say the Quotations is outrageous but you can talk to him to beat down the materials and workmanship fees.

An engineer gave me this quotation for a soakaway.

16mm rod 25 PC's
12mm rod 10 pcs
Qtr rod 30 PC's
Cement 20 bags
Plank 30 pcs
...
Seen a couple of quotes here and no one seems to be using 16mm. Why's mine different? And it's so expensive.

I just asked for a standard soakaway to carry sometimes a stationary car and human walkabout.
I used 16mm in some of the septic tanks that I did in the past because the spaces also serve as car park. Not sure of the exact quantities of the materials because they were side jobs while the main buildings were being built. Buy your materials yourself and pls don’t suggest lesser materials. A poorly built septic tank/soak away is a disaster waiting to happen.

Regarding the issue about VT in living rooms. I don’t think there’s any pleasant way to hide this inside a small footprint of a small apartment. It is what it is.

You made a very important point: small space. So let me start from the beginning with the assumption that VT is a must.

Academically speaking, I will reject this plan with the VT in the living room. It is possible architecturally not to put the VT in the living room and still have a great plan.

Now let's assume I bought this building from you, like you said, it is what it is.

The improvement I will make will include closing off the toilet door to the living room and place the door in the entry pouch. So visitors access the VT from the entry pouch. I've seen this done. This will mean doing a floor to ceiling burglary proof in the entry pouch to prevent unauthorised access to the VT.

Would have been much better if labeled, seems the room by the left will be sharing the VT with the visitors from the anteroom?

Yes, to share the toilet.

Not a room though, more of an office.

Oh okay, yours is hidden rightly, but i see movement won't be easy in that lobby in front of the visitors toilet door, yours seems better to me. No plan is perfect though.

Yes you're right.

If one or both doors open indoors, then not much an issue.

And I don't envisage much traffic in that lobby.
