We give thanks my oga.

I’m reducing my elaborate window sizes. When I was in Los Angeles 6 X 5 windows were the thing, now that I’m in Nigeria and looking at N1.5M estimates for windows, Son Of Man had to caution himself and reduce

But we move, no time.

I just saw this requirement for building approval in one of my what's app groups...

I find it very disturbing, often times we see building collapsing etc.. the officials are just after the money, not necessarily giving a darn about the building itself..

Although I am a certified Nairaland trained Engineer but how can one in good conscience ask for a certificate of fitness, site analysis report, letter of structural fitness for a building that have not been built?

You pay registration fee, then automation fee, then application fee and processing fee for the same building plan... plus inspection fee and approval fees

9jiria is really jagajaga

Thanks saydfact , i love your threads and posts, being liking all day long.

JustCryptos:
Guys please, I need help.

The engineer on my project sent this as a quote for plastering a 3 bedroom flat (all ensuite) with a visitor's toilet.

Labour
Ranging plastering
Inside plastering is #120,000. Outside plastering is #90,000. Windows dressing is #45,000.

Not Ranging plastering
To plaster all the houses is #170,000. Inside and outside. No window dressing.

Materials
Two trips of gum sand and two trips trips of shape sand and 110 bags of cement.

When I asked the difference between the two, he said in the first one they'll dress the plaster and plum it to be level. This won't be done in the second case. I can't wrap my head around plastering a house and not making sure it's level.

Secondly, I thought plastering a room takes 3 bags of cement? I did my calculations with 4 bags to be on the safe side. However, the engineer is saying each room of around 3.6*3.6m will take 5 bags using ranging method.

Experts please what's your take on this?

Saw this construction

They started the piling immediately after the lockdown in May and now roofing.

After the piling and ground slab, instead of setting blocks, they did columns and beams, decked, moved to the upper floor, no setting of blocks, just columns and beams, now about to roof.

Is this really okay?

michlins:
How do you you deal with some clients. Two months ago, someone asked me for the price of something and I told her. Then last week, she came back and I gave her the price but this time it has increased a bit. She began to fume and accuse me of not wanting to work for her.

The whole thing just tire me

THE BENEFITS OF USING POLYSTYRENE (EPS) DECKING BLOCKS

EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE(EPS) serves as a permanent shutter to hold the concrete in place, these EPS blocks are used widely in construction.
They have no structural value, but is necessary for purchase and is used as thermal insulation and a void filler when pouring concrete slabs.
Light weight and easy to install with great thermal properties these Decking Blocks are a necessity for the building process. EPS blocks are a cost effective method of permanent shuttering and recyclable having no negative impact on the environment. Below are seven more benefits of applying Polystyrene (EPS) Decking Blocks.

1. Better acoustic and thermal properties, thereby reducing energy consumption which in turn saves money.

2. EPS is cost effective relative to concrete and cement blocks.

3. Easier and quicker to handle and install requiring less propping. This also results in a reduction of the amount of concrete used.

4. EPS blocks remain as permanent shuttering.

5. EPS is environmentally friendly and 100% recyclable. We also only use fire retardant material that complies with building regulations.

6. Due to the light weight structure of the EPS blocks, less concrete beams would be used as would be the case in a normal insitu building.

7. EPS blocks are resistant to vibration, aging and rot and are Chlorofluorocarbons and hydrochlorofluorocarbons free.
As such there are no Ozone depleting elements in EPS.

I need advice from expert in the house pls.
I want to build a two deck (2 storey) and my Engr said we are going to use the this foundation type I uploaded in this picture.
Pls should I tell him to go on?
I have not seen where people dug foundation for pillars only, chained it and casted DPC and followed up the block formation.
Is this really going to carry the the two storey building?

gandkiss:
Please house am contemplating between using pop or pvc for my living area and dining, the thing is that I heard pvc is not sound proof when it rains.

Pros please advice.

Thank you.

michlins:
it's all about the choice of the customer. Some want something very fancy while some want something classy and will never fade in terms of design.

What if I tell you that the door in discussion is more expensive than the door I showed you earlier.

kenpower:
A design brief is achieved base on client submission and expectation notting absolutely is wrong wit the design pls,,,,,If fact is a perfect tourch

michlins:
flush doors like this abi? This is iron door too and there's a way I can eliminate the noise you're worried about

bebe2:
hello all
here is the plan for my proposed build at opic estate.
its a 4 nos of 2bedroom flats. is there any amendment that could be made?

michlins:
this is why I usually tell people to use iron doors but they will tell you it's not good for internal doors. Eight years down the line, the only thing you will do on iron doors is to repaint it and you have yourself a brand new door.

Buildings are meant to last and not act as liability. Here's a sample of door that I delivered to oga Spyder yesterday. It was paid for by another Nairalander

omanzo02:
Wow! You mean this 2 bedroom apartment will have 3 water closet and 2 bathrooms, and the entrance thru the rooms? Come on, this is not convenience but overplan and overdraw in my opinion.....well, no be my wahalla sha!

mssiah:

My 3-bedroom building is presently at dpc level(I am doing the filling). I am seriously considering using cement stabilised bricks(mortar or mortarless, I am undecided on that yet). And i don't want to plaster both in and out. From pictures i have seen and actual construction sites visited, i realise I need to incorporate columns. I am guessing the columns are for load bearing for the roof structure. But, i do not have columns on the present structure. Do i break the necessary places and introduce the columns or it is too late? Also funds are not readily available so I am building as the funds come from savings and other means. What I am looking at is if I finally decide to go for bricks, I will suspend building and produce total bricks I need, get other materials ready for roofing and get everything done at once(laying of bricks and roofing) during a dry season. I can use the period of wait to gather all necessary materials and generally get ready. Please kindly advise. Thank you.

PS: is it colour that is added to the mortar to change the colour to the reddish brown?. If I decide on mortar as binder, I will prefer the colour to be same as the bricks and not the ash/white of normal cement( dangote/elephant etc). I just love bricks for the aesthetics.
I have about 450 9" blocks and 600 6" blocks on ground. I don't see hem as waste as I will used them to do 3 courses of blocks before completing the rest with bricks. The 6" leftovers can still be used for fencing. Thanks.
