Thanks for putting in the effort to work this out.

This is quite reasonable and close to what is expected. Someone had recommended over 50KVA and it just didn't make any sense.

Good job!

27KVA generator will carry the total load with the following equipment

Ac 7nos
Water heater 5
Lighting point 52points(both external light and internal light)
Socket 32pount
Cooker 1pount
Pump 1

Total load on 3-phase is 52A

And the size of generator is 27KVA

50KVA is too much for a duplex.. It's good to do a load calculation before for going generator or transformer size

Hello everyone. I have been commissioned by a client to sell a plot of land at Asaba. It's three minutes drive from the state government house. The dimension is 100 by 50ft.


Start this year with real estate investment. You can buy this land this January and start a kobo kobo investment on it and before you know it, you have another building with your name on it. Thanks all

Happy new year to everyone.

I want to ask for the recommended site filling materials on water logged site.

The engineer first said we should use only sharp sand instead of construction debris, laterite or rough sand.

Filling here is to achieve leveling for site paving, not for the building itself.

Building done, but we want to commence fencing and paving of the site, but asking about the base underneath

One of the things I admire about Brabus is that he recognizes his staff. He doesn’t take ownership for everything.

Thanks sir. They’re the difference that makes a difference.

Few years ago, one of my supervisor call me aside and told me I’m paying my workers too much money. I replied and told him “Without them, we are nothing. This business can do without you and I but not them ; cool.”

My greatest wish is to find such people and back them up with resource that they need.

My micro estate is practically handed over to my mason, Seun, for development.

I have already diversified my total load with 0,6

That is 60%

Basically based on load diversification are you saying a 20 or 25KVA will not work optimally for the build.
Also what's the likely cost difference between a 27KVA and 25KVA on any good model.

Is it good advice to budget down the wire? What's the difference in price between the two?

In situations like this I would normally budget to allow some capacity for future exigencies or unforseen growth. Who knows?
