erico2k2:
Oga first of all I have an Axe to grind with you for Dising my able manager like that in the person of wenger ,I dey come for you grin grin
In other news,just thinking aloud, is creativity not abstract?I have designed many things at work and they cost me nothing as it was all done.I agree that not everybody can build something in their ie develop a visual image head but wont the outcomes of such thought lead to more pricing power on your part as a builder?.In the west where we live,people are bent on developing ways of making their service cheaper not more expensive.People are always on the watch out for new tech to make their service cheaper cos the cheaper the more Biz and customers flow to their site and that them smiling to the bank.
You are correct. But you should know that at the end the work (however how creative it is) will have to pay for its self. Even if you device a method that makes it cheaper, but it's still has a price. And that price is then based on factors which boils down to the 3 arms that I mentioned. Give It to Nigerians still. People are still attempting different ways to make they overall budget cheaper than usual and still with a better results, but ecomomic factors is becoming counter productive to the results.

MAke Una no use Arthritis Derail this thread. Na una talk am say no Other topic. Infact no laff for this Thread on Serious issues. lol cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy

Now my 2 kobo on this matter of Materials used in Nigerian Architecture. Like I always say, it depends on the balance between the client, the economy and contractor. i.e what the contractor has in store, what the Client is ready to accept and what the economy can favour.

1 THE ECONOMY
The Nigerian Economy isn't organized enough to enable a company that produces the wood they use in Building houses to stay and make profits. Hence me must import, there by increasing cost of Building with wood relatively. infact no business they make am, just say some business no get choice other than to stay. I'm even sure that the government will intentionally allow an unfavourable environment for these simple Building business Ideas so as to allow thoses their paddies that have cement Factory all over africa to continue making it.


2 THE CONTRACTOR
Some contractors are too based on how much they can make out of a project, and so if any process will slow that cash flow because they'll have to think extra, then its bye bye to such process. What i think is when contractors pick up a project. the first thing they should think of which is what I think of is how best can I make the house the finest and most creative around the environment and not bring a calculator out to calculate how best he can maximise his profit.

CLIENT
Some (Arsene Wenger Mr. BABA IJEBU) clients wants to build cheap house. Them want to use the cheapest labour. them wan use the cheapest professionals, them want the cheapest Architectural design, and the funny thing is them still want the finest Outcome. ahh thats not fair. We will never get a creative house from that. Not possible. How will some1 say he's looking for a tiller that will lay tiles for N200/m2.Make Una still dey sorry for all these workers, some get families ooo. (Oga 3strike, no Strike me oooooo. Na only example i dey make oooo no be u be Arsene Wenger oooo grin grin grin grin grin).

EgunMogaji:
May I ask what the scheme is to protect entry through the windows? Thankfully I'm not seeing the typical bars on the windows.
No plan for burglar bars in the house. It's in a well secured estate. With the house having a security guard. So owner didn't feel the need to put burglar bar. There is an alarm system installed in house.

Welcome to Victory Park Estate. Femi Okunnu Road, Lekki, Lagos.

This is the Location of our new Building Project. a 4 Bedroom Duplex(3D Perspective view below). Contract have been finalized and Client has clearly state his expectations. As usual we have been contacted because our Clients see us as the way to achieving their Dream Homes, and as usual We shall not disappoint. Like I Always say, there are challenges involved in trying to turn a beautiful 3D representation of any piece of Architecture into real Life. But the first step to achieving that is realising that there will be challenges and preparing yourself for it.

This Thread shall Shed lights on everything involved in our type of Architecture for everyone to see and mostly for those who have wanted their house to look like the 3D representation presented to them by their Architect. A lot of problems with our building these days are the Final Outcome. Hardly ever like what was promised. Without too much talk Lets move down to business.
