Smiling.

The quantity you’ll need is already in your M&E plan. If you don’t have one, a very good plumber can help you with that.

These stuffs are dirt cheap. N3500 - N6000 depending on thickness and sizes.

I use 6in for the inspection chamber.

Many thanks

@egunmogaji2 mentioned it here

Take it easy on your plumber. He’s a Nigerian and you sure know a typical naija man has a fixed mindset of “this-is-how-we-do-it”

A typical naija builder believes alternative solutions must be a lot more expensive.

Edit:

I thought you said your plumber has been discouraging you from using it. My apologies for misconstruing your msg.

Give him extra credit for recommending it sir.

Oga, is this the T pipe thing? I am hearing this T pipe thing for the first time and I seems to like it more than the ubiquitous chambers we see here. I hate those chambers especially those ones that are so visible. I like it when it aligns flat with the compound.

You don’t need a chamber. We discussed this some years ago. Go chamberless with T-pipe

This is the same thing my plumber is saying. He said it is easier to carry out repairs on chambers than with T pipes.

What type of repairs if I may ask? Pls ask him same question.

Edit:

I’ve observed that alternative solutions don’t ever work in Nigeria even if the developed world are using it. There’ll always be an excuse or an exception.

That’s how an electrician told me he can’t use a LED light from the states because they use 120VAC. I told him all we need to do is to change the drivers or build a transformer circuit.

I’ve been using lights bought from the US for over 8 years without issues and we just bought another 30 pcs to use in my ongoing project.

I’ve never had to replace my Phillips light bulbs for over 8 years. Meanwhile the almighty AKT is replaced almost every quarter.

Is the Versace design a door? if yes what make? Nigeria or.....
yes boss. It's made from wrought iron. From start to finish is wrought iron but depending on your budget,we can use normal 1.5mm pipes which will reduce the price significantly too.

Whether pvc, precast concrete or block type, they’re all inspection chamber and you’re definitely going to need one.

The only difference is you’re replacing the brick chambers with PVC.

Nothing more. The pipe network remains the same.

Thanks chief

Based on my research I would not put up a structure without it. But the pros will chime in soon.

What I would do in the mean time is just peruse the threads of pro builders and see what they do on their builds. Pay particular attention to Abdulwastecx because he, or his partner Padosci, is one of the college trained ones.

You are comparing this environment to Naija environment, abi? And what kind of greens can you plant in 10% of the land. You will still need parking and other areas within that 10% o. Thank you o.

Hajji M.

The picture I attached earlier, if you look closely, you will see a garage for parking. It's common in big cities here where parking is way more limited than in Lagos but there's still space for green. Even in dense places like New York, there are green spaces. That's not an excuse. Proper planning and good architectural designs will navigate this.

Besides, those houses you called 10% (I don't know where you got the number from but let's use it) are not the norm in Naija. Those are only common in Lagos. My mom has a house in Naija and I have tons of friends too with houses in naija, there's more than enough space for a green space.

Landscaping is great though but it takes a lot to raise a great one.

I have a great one but it’s not cheap to maintain. It takes a lot of planning and cost so much to maintain here.

Pic 1 - Perimeter Drain
Pic 2 - Concrete Driveway
Pic 3 - Green Area
Pic 4 - Another Green Area

I never had issues with the driveway design but maintaining the lawn.


Something like this should be the minimum. Problem is we are not DIY inclined in naija. It's even easier now with YouTube and Amazon. You can watch videos on how to maintain it and buy stuffs through many shipping companies now. And it's not expensive.
