You're very correct bro!

I have a similar experience but mine isn't furniture.

I bought a land some years ago and I discovered that there are some lands at the back of a plot next to me that no one knew about because there's small stream before the land.
I approached my agent to know who owns the land (450sqm) next to me and he told me it was his brother who was in the army. I told him I want the land to add to mine and also create access road to my back. He said his brother said "If 1" is deducted from his land, they should refund his money back."
I told him "We need 30ft x the length of the land and not 1 and I will be happy to pay him double the amount he got his land and also give the agent some commission for the sales." He discussed with the owner, they agreed and I paid for the land. He (the owner) used the money I gave him to buy another bigger land (800sqm) adjacent mine and everyone was happy.

Call a spade what it is. Someone was paid 200k out of 250k to deliver a job since 20th December; this is February and here you are making obnoxious excuse for him. If you are dishonest, then say it. Stop trying to make this look normal angry

Congratulations on your new project!

Please do not get involved because of the above alone. Get involved because you’re the project director. Even though you don’t know everything about building, this forum and others can help you achieve your building project without worries.

Don’t be forward. Try and work with your engineer. I’d rather work with an engineer on the build route (owner managed, contractor managed or owner-contractor managed)/scope of work than going on a full-fledged contract.

To your question about stages of work, here’s something you should be on the look out for (foundation to roofing only) if you want to avoid surprises. No technical jargons grin

We are working on a project management checklist at kobocity.com for self builders and homeowners who want to be directly involved in their project. Once it’s ready, I’ll update this platform.


Thank you very much for this piece. Very exhaustive but not specific for my my needs. Thank you again.

the flow is okay just that I have a problem with the kitchen store, with it's size, it's practically useless. then your bathrooms, you are managing space and you have ducts, how do you plan to position the shower and toilet, I hope you aren't planning on doing self con style (shower directly over toilet). since it's a bungalow, you don't need those ducts, straighten the bathroom walls for increased space. do same with the wall between sitting room and v.wc, put the v.wc window in front, if you are worried about privacy, raise it up above human height, that way you have a straight walled sitting room.

you have never been dishonest in your life? SWEAR undecided

hi chief

Why don’t U do electric fence instead? Barb wire usually get rusted within two years or so... less maintenance cost on electric fence

Let me know

Hi everyone,
I am currently carrying out a building project and I am torn between using pillars in front or using blocks to form pillars.

I need suggestions please

Depends on what you want to achieve at the end of the day. They are not performing the same option in terms of strength.

Concrete pillar posses more strength than block pillars. Block pillar is not a structural pillar as such especially when you have done it with hollow blocks of 9 talk more of 6 inches as seen in some people's cases.

You might want to combine the two options if you need to see structural and aesthetics shown at the same time. Your builder should know more as regarding what the design says.

That dinning room is major flaw.

It has no window or direct access to light and fresh air. Installing AC is a challenge.

I have seen a house with such a dinning but eating there won't be fun. Eating hot food in a place that is not ventilated and without AC will be very uncomfortable.

I'll advice you do both. I did double square pillars on each side, with 16mm right from foundation to parapet, cast and formed with 5 inches non hollow blocks. I can sleep with two eyes closed regarding strength.

It’s well!

A project which requires about 12 - 13 tons of reinforcements should be looking at N4m + or thereabout on reinforcement only.
