The block is not on top the beacon, the beacon is on its own in front of the fence. So the bricklayer is using the beacon as a point of reference to erect the fence.
Something like the illustration below sir?

Something that I just discovered on my site is leading me to make a few recommendations to others.

I would recommend that the Architect who drew your plan be onsite at a few key steps, at the bare minimum.

The entrance to my house and the view into the courtyard are key important feature to me. I worked with Darenyx diligently on creating the plan but my builder has managed to screw it up.

How I’ve missed this over the time saddens me.

I of course have to correct it angry

Pic1 Picture from plan I purchased.

Pic2 Architecture plan.

Pic3 What builder did.

To be honest with you, I wouldn't spend more correcting this. My experience with stuff like this, with a superb finish it may not be as dramatic as it currently looks. Pick your floor tiles and wall paint wisely to bounce off light from the courtyard and the final look may amaze you surely.

Hello. The N150k is for the digging, setting of blocks and plastering.
Are they also plastering the soakaway?
is decking also included in the labour?

Not on top. You need to access the coordinates on the beacon at all times to avoid confusion with your neighbours.

You are not answering the question.
Is the N150k for digging only ?
If it is that is too much.
I just done mine which is 10x10and 12ft deep.
And 6x6ft.
I paid N50k for it in Abeokuta just because of hard Land that have Rock .
Normally it should cost me N35k but because of the rock l have to paid 15k more.
Yours should not be more than 60k due to the size.

Do you have contact details for the person that dug your septic tank and soak-away please?

Lol, the country is just coming out of recession, some Nigerians are more concerned now with what to eat than erecting a building, my friend who is an Engineer with one of this Opic properties & estate and has built for several clients told me recently that everything has slowed down unlike in the past, only few people are building in his estate, although there is exception to every situation, hopefully, things might improve in the first quarter of 2018 when the government releases money for their various infrastructures mapped out in the new year, money will circulate and construction activities will pick up cool

As the beacons are beyond your fence, I hope the neighbor will not intentionally remove it...

I thought about this too.

The critical thing is that I want the eye to be drawn to the courtyard as you enter the building.

I’ll wait to visualize this when I get on the ground but I think if I erect a wall to the left to balance the view that it may be okay.

I like the kitchen wall tiled up to 3/4 of the wall because full tiling[b] results in a hot kitchen when cooking[/b] is going on. You'd need to have an AC working to be comfortable

There are positives and negatives to it.

But you could use a more powerful Extractor or even use two extractors working opposite each other (one sucking-in fresh air and another blowing-out hot air) to create a cool current of air.

A.C inside the Kitchen is a No-No for me.
