Here's how mine was done.

This is well away and acceptable. Like already said, no plan is perfect. But to me, the way I reason, a toilet should not be inside a living room.

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.
You have finished the talk here... This is what I've been waiting for someone to say....

This is why I miss n3xt...

I tossed and turned on this issue with my architect. Your idea will work too. For me without need for the burglary as the residence is within a micro estate and patrolled.

Judging from the listed materials, Your land is a dry land, but Both charges and materials quoted here are overquoted and outrageous, but my question is what did he want to do with 50 lengths of only 10mm steel bars for 10by10 septic tank? Is this playing or something?

I'm a professional,the best advice, use pillars, either 9inches or 6inches, pillars or columns is very important in every building, pls take my advice.

Like u said, u want to cut cost. Use 6 inches then use pillars

Good evening everyone... When giving a contract work for soakaway, should one be worried if materials will remain? And should chambers be cost with the soakaway? Cos I was charged 570k (after plenty negotiations) for soakaway...only to be told this morning to call plumber for external piping and will pay additional fee for chambers sad

I don't know the dimension, I only told him I needed standard soakaway where cars can comfortably pack on..

U will definitely pay for pipping but ur 570k should cover chamber oo. But u need to ask questions as to the size nd materials needed in order to avoid story that touch oo. Go there urself and see what they doing if possible, make videos and snap everything for record purposes

Good morning everyone. A friend of mine just started this project on a slopy land. The back of the building has a foundation of 6 coaches
Double walls were used in all the sections at the back before it was filled with laterite( this cant be seen in pictures). DPC of 6 inches was also done.
Is this foundation solid enough? The land is not water logged and he’s planning to build a bungalow.

Well he said I should not worry about materials or anything since it's a contract work, his job is to deliver the soakaway and I will pay for piping (I know I will pay for piping cos that's the work of a plumber) and also for chambers (this, I want to be sure that it's should come with the soakaway)... I am currently not around to supervise the work)...
