Looks good but unfortunately your labour charges are higher compared to some others I got when I contacted you for a roofing job.

This is why I don’t take any merchant on here seriously as soon as they try to take you quickly to offline discussions.

No price is too much for architectural design, it depend on how you present and bargain with the architect. Some client brief can give an architect sleepless night for days just to make sure he satisfy his client at the same time make is functional. Best of luck to you sir

Prices will vary.

I was quoted N1.5M for my courtyard bungalow and I promptly ran away.

In any case, more than the money, I feel that you should have a good relationship with your architect. After all you’re charging him to help you visualize your dream, an expensive dream at that.

I’ve been using Darenyx on here now for over 7 years I think and he’s currently working on my micro estate for me. I recommend him as he has not given me a concrete reason to look elsewhere. But of course please do your due diligence as with any recommendations.

Good luck.

Hello sir, its nomal here in lagos. They where at my site last month before i cast my decking and we negotiated. They gave me a bill of 300k here at ajah, i negotiated 100k, gave them 50k and pleaded to pay the Balance later on.
U see, u were suppose to get an approval with your structural detailing drawing before u commerce with the job. If they shuld seal up ur property u wil pay the 250k for unseal and then even pay for the so called approval. My advise will be to negotiate with them. sometimes engineers knows this, but because of the requirements and timing to gettig this approval, they rather just commerce with the construction and settle the field agents, speaking from experience as am into build and sell. Hope this helps.

Donoppy:


Thanks for your concern....
I was only aware of the fact I was going to get an approval for the architectural and structural drawing which I couldn’t even get as the architect that did the drawing said an approval scheme hasn’t been set up yet for the site premises on which construction is ongoing , so this one came up as an entire news to me and the engineer even told me he isn’t aware though I intend to still see him this weekend to know why he wouldn’t tell me in the first place before he started construction.
But also I will need you to tell me what to do because I don’t intend to pay as much as this money they are asking for.
Thanks

So let’s all just maintain peace and try to network and advice each other well... And I appreciate @kenpower for your time you dedicated towards advising me , I do really appreciate also.

Yeah , you are right because I even noticed in the area they marked almost all the construction ongoing there with this so called LABSCA sign and I feel this is because it’s a new site, that just got handed to the family through the court order from the government and apparently the architect who did the drawing who happened to work in alausa said to me then, that I couldn’t get approval of the drawing as an approval scheme hasn’t been set yet for this whole site so invariably if he was right then nobody can have an approved architectural drawing and hence couldn’t have a legit approval, so definitely it has to now be a who know who process and back door settlement. Because if there is no approval scheme for this site yet , then invariably there shouldn’t even be construction going on there at all.
This is my point though but I still welcome any contradictory explanation to this, I am just saying this for the purpose of anyone that intends to go through this process too.
Thanks

Good afternoon all.

I need clarification on the attached image.

My supplier says this plaster sand is 'White' plaster sand and not red, hence demanding from me the price of 'white' plaster sand

Can someone please help to clarify this?

https://www.nairaland.com/3129752/4th-mainland-bridge-houses-demolished

In 2016, I shared this post on the proposed Fourth Mainland Bridge and the likely affected areas.

It’s almost here!


n3xt:
Someone asked me yesternight "Where will the 4th Mainland bridge pass?" "Which part of Ajah/BADORE will be affected?"

Here's my thought:

For minimal damage and prevention of economic loss, I foresee the 4th mainland bridge coming from somewhere between PAN African University and Happyland Estate or nearby location about 1km to either sides, passing through the undeveloped lands and govt lands around the area, avoiding Cooperative Villas, cutting through BADORE road between Folarin bus stop - Greenville estate or nearby about 500m to either sides and landing at langbasa and then over the lagoon to Ikorodu.

Anyone with a property around this areas should go and confirm with the local planning authority early enough the area for the proposed realignment early enough in order to avoid the story that touch.


Just my thought though. My hunch is never wrong and ongoing activities within that area and especially BADORE to somewhere between PAN African university and Splash Bar further confirms the truth.

Things to check for:

- Government excisions around the areas mentioned above
- Areas where govt refuses to give approvals, consents and CofO
- A large parcel of undeveloped govt land around you which was clearly avoided by the land urchins (Omo Onile)
- Areas with slow growth and development despite being at prime areas
- Too good to be true land transactions.

Happy Building!

Hello friends, can someone pls clarify me??
My Tiler said I don't need to do concrete flooring before tiling, he said they will just water the red sand for enough compactment and then they tile, and he also said that my wardrobe and cabinets GMP frames should be installed after he completes the tiling eventhou I thought the installation should be done before tiling.

You already took a shortcut by not having a monolithic floor. Another shortcut will be not having concrete before tiling, imho. All these shortcuts have a future cost.

I prefer to tile before cabinetry. In the future if the cabinets should change then there won’t be gaps. You may not easily find the same tiles in the future to fill the gap.

This statement is full of pride . Who told u , u cant do more if u give a little discount to more client that contacts u .If someone like u that is just installing roofing sheet talks carelessly this way ,what do u want the owner of companies like tower aluminum to say . Calm down , your still growing . The economy is hard so make some price adjustment to attract more clients.
