@dennis3D it’s time to give back.

I had a similar idea in mind for the BQ. I just don’t know how crazy my client would allow me to go I can do something with steel

Baba Egunmogaji2, are you with me on the tank tower idea below?

Thanks Baba Kopell for sharing with us.

Good Morning Oga

spyder880:


Very good design you got there, I think the flow is good, except for the staircase which is too open in my opinion. I had loved this contemporary flow, but I dont know if your client will love to have all his living room and open kitchen to the back.

You can also replace the car park in this plan with a bedroom, but some will want their living room exactly where the car park is.

Well done.

Thanks for your valuable contribution. This is well received.

In my clients brief, I could read and understand that he’d generally favor open plan living. I wasn’t really surprised when he asked for a semi-open kitchen.

The briefs inclusion of a void section, skybridge, wall-to-wall multi-folding glass door reveals a lot about what might work for him.

I love the arrangement of the plan you shared above. It’s almost similar to one of the Late Dr. Alex Ekwueme’s estate design in Osborne, Lagos.

Thanks for sharing.

Don’t forget the side A of the frame is 50mm (2”) not 2’(f)
So as side B 50mm (2”) total =100mm (4”) to be minus from 3’(f)
You will now left with 2’8”(2ft 8”) as the opening for door leaf.

Yes, I understand, you should have said 2" from both sides which makes it 4"

Saying 2" and then subtracting 4” is a source of confusion

According to kobocity block and cement estimator, you’ll require 1100 blocks if the total height from the foundation is 3m (10ft)

Always use kobocity construction calculators for your calculations. https://www.kobocity.com/p/7-calculators

It’s free!

_______
Note:
No. of cement shown excludes what’s required for the foundation work.

Seems the calculator cannot be used for an acre. I have tried 6 plots measuring 100 by 50ft each
It doesn't work.

Please how much is a bag of cement in your area right now ?? Any idea from those who live in Benin?

Happy Building

You forgot Lennards (Bata’s rival). Then John Holt for the best Milk and Adonis stores.
Chicken George - I think this came after Baba Egumogaji has left the country. If I visit IB I’m sure I’ll still have some of their vouchers

Wow! Sketch opposite CBN. That place reminds me of the well planned parking space in the CBD.

When I saw Heritage Mall, I just smile and wish those around me could understand why.

Some times I wonder why we lack maintenance culture in this country? Most of the buildings in dugbe are monuments, which are ment to be renovated. You people that were born in the 70's & 80's are the ones who enjoyed Nigeria.
I wonder why that "aje house" is being abandoned.

Help my contemporary clients decide on staircase design

Which would you choose and why?

I’ve done and showcase No. 4 here before. It’s cool but these days I’d favour trendy steel staircase over concrete staircase.

My heart goes with the simplicity of No. 1

No 1 for me, ease of construction. . Looks like what I did for a client recently

This is Baba Egunmogaji2 office (Cooperative Bank Plc)

The buildings in Ibadan CBD are monumental masterpieces we ought to preserve.

Employ the use of 3D wall panel stickers. below are just some few noticeable features;
1.) You can clean tough stains off with wet rag
2.) Noise reduction from the next flat
3.) Non fragile; it doesn't break!
4.) Echo and vibration resistance from your room
5.) Room Temperature control.
Bathroom walls are cold and it causes the paints to break. 3D wall panel stickers is classy and it does not absorb water, as it is water proof.
I sell very cheap compared to the normal market at #1250 per "panel" measuring 70x77cm

Buildings like this can be renovated, and it can be rented out to young entrepreneurs who are in need of office space, at cheaper price. I guess I would like to work on this as my project

Interesting, those that are born before 50’s to 60,s enjoyed more then those of 70’s to 80’s. Many of them went to free school home and abroad majority of their parents are farmers with little or know any form of education. These are the same set of people that hold us hostage, kill our education kill morals in our society, divided us with ethnic and religious. They are united in stealing our collective resources without division between them. They have succeeded in destroying the future of our youth by engaging them into social media world postings all kinds of fake life style and negativity Its a shame on us with kind of leader we choose for ourselves.

Professionals, please, are there ways to get concret fascia done at a cheap cost? Or are there good and affordable alternatives to concret fascia that will still still look exactly like concrete fascia? The quotation from my engineer is killing me.

We are paying the price of a truncated democratic process.

A lot of thing were going right till militia boys started participating in politics and wearing overflowing agbada.

The leaders who enjoyed the good times in the 50s and 60s and chose not to do the right thing are the symptoms and not the cause of Nigeria problems. The real cause is unprincipled politicians and abuse of democracy.

God has given us real and selfless visionary leaders in the 70s and 80s but the military coup of 1983 truncated our young and developing democracy. Most of these visionary leaders were thrown into prison, incarcerated and thrown into exile.

Our political landscape is now filled with theorists and selfish politicians. Ever since we lost our democracy in 1983, we’ve been finding “x” in Nigeria.

Imagine all these beautiful projects were done with cocoa money, not oil money o.

Leaders are made, not elected.

Does the wall has to be plastered/screed first before installing this? What's your number?

That brings about why most of them were sent abroad on scholarships to study. They were sent there to look at how things were done over there, upon graduation they are ment to incorporate some of the things learnt overseas. But know they all failed us

Thanks for the response. Please can you explain the difference between the usual, precast and the semi cast in-situ that u mentioned. And disadvantages or advantages of one over the others? Then the cost implications.

Where are you based sir.

Concrete fascia is too cumbersome these days. A client spent almost 2m on his recently. It is overrated.
There are more con reef fascia designs that cost less sha.

Sure we’d consider having handrail for safety.

This too shall pass. I mean the concrete fascia regime.

I just don’t want to live in a dated house.

Look below for meaning of dated house. More details on kobocity.com

_______
There was an era when most houses in Ibadan have lion or elephant or statue of the owner at the entrance.

Another era, we had “inscription” on top of entrance doors in every house

Baba Egunmogaji2 can relate

Me I no dey do trend
