Adedipupo aka Kkconsult..... fraudsters like you should not be allowed to thrive on this forum.

After my first note on this subject, you rushed up an incomplete Arch drawing and have refused to respond on the structural/mech/ electrical drawings for which you've been paid.

Just be aware that I will be the last person you will defraud on cyberspace if you don't provide the services for which you've been paid for.
Don't deal with anyone you've not seen physically or have their office or home address.

I only deal with people I can see and know their address, so they can be arrested if they commit fraud

I decided to stick to my word of today rather than tomorrow.. Lol grin

1. NOT COMPLETELY FINISHED (window location and dim)

2. I tried to achieve your initial sketch, so my design flows in similar pattern.

3. Let me know if you like it.. I'll finish and send on whatsapp.

Find sketch attached.

Goodluck as you build.
Now, I can sleep angry
First, I must express my profound gratitude for helping a complete stranger like me, I’ll be sure to reciprocate the kind gesture.
I went through the plan you sent me and it was great, though my intitial skeletal plan showed 4 bedroom but I noticed that the one you sent is that of 3 bedroom. I’ll be more delighted of an adjustment to make a figure of 4 bedroom could be made.
Land size is 50 by 100.
Thanks.

Hello everyone, I need expert opinions on interior doors. In my present apartment, I can no longer lock most of the wooden doors because of warping. I have to drag some of them against the floor before I can fully open them.
I’ll be needing interior doors soon. How best can one select doors that would not later warp?
I need experience building engineers, home owners and experienced building enthusiasts to please guide me and suggest types of doors to go for and any idea about their prices will be very appreciated.

Some of the doors are to be used in some apartments that I am going to rent out to lower middle class so, going for some luxury doors is out of it.

If you approve of it, i intend to redesign the two plans you posted into something better by weekend and post it here next week. I love your spirit.


please, does anybody know much about the condominium business in Nigeria? Do you think that building a block of three bedroom flats and selling each flat for fifteen million in a location where a plot of land is selling twenty five million would be a viable business model in Nigeria?

warping can come from the frame or the door

those warping door are constructed with wet wood, as the wood dries up with time, its state will not be uniform again.hence the reason for draging. it's mostly unavoidable
with panel door because the wood market is saturated with wet or partially dry wood.

solution.

either you framed your door with imported board or you insist on the use of PINE (parking case) for the carcass of the door.

for rentable flat, I will advice you use skin door framed with Pine wood (treated imported parking case) for the door.

attached pictures is a skin door with mahogany frame and architraves...,

Goodluck!

Thanks for your inputs when I made the quoted enquiries. I didnt do the German floor as suggested but I ensured that the hollows in the first three courses' (foundation) blocks where filled with concrete after which polythene material laid and subsequently the block work. However, I am doing the chain lintel using 12mm rods.
Update of present stage is uploaded.

Hello Professionals in the house,
I have just commenced a 4-bedroom bungalow project, the blinding has just been done today (see attached pic), I don't intend to do a German floor because the land is not swampy and the builder advised that a thin water-proof membrane should just be laid on the foundation blocks after filling the hollows with concrete.
My concerns are:
1. Can pillars still be erected at some specific corners of the house considering the fact that blinding has already been done?
2. If the answer to 1 above is yes, what are the rod sizes/quantities and other materials needed for this (for five pillars) and what's the estimated labour costs?
Thanks.

buy the best iron doors from us and they are competitively priced and with best quality materials.

I deliberately used a photo of an uncompleted door to show you the quality of materials.
