Honestly, I don't believe in using many windows as a form of energy savings in Nigeria with our dirty environment and poor air quality. For me, the windows in the house may be small in number but big in sizes, just for beauty and aesthetics.

For quantifiable energy savings, I use solar as my energy source now. I only switch to the mains on cloudy weather. But since December last year and now, with the intense sunlight and harmattan, my solar has been my source of power.

So, my prepaid meter has remained un-recharged for the past three months with good savings in energy cost. Ensure you have energy efficient deep freezer and ACs. The window AC may be out of fashion but a new 1hp window AC runs well with solar, lesser power demanding than split unit. My reason for having 1hp window AC for the rooms.

What is the KVA rating of your solar? How many AC did you connected to the solar?

The inverter AC consume less power as well

Labor for just the wiring don't pay more 60k

This is 4-bedroom en-suit and not 3-bedroom. With 2 way switching, strip light , ceiling recessed light, chandelier in the sitting room, spot light, external wall light around the building? Habaa!!!!!

Even the quantities you listed above can't do it.

With your own quantities, how did you come across 2.5mm 1- red, and 2black ?

Am still learning. Pls explan to us.

Me and Twinskenny are still learning . We might gain one or two things from you today.

Thanks

Great builders in the houses, please what is the name of the chemical used for cleaning paint and dirts from the tiles.

Thinner

Aforxzy:
Is there any work that involves hitting, breaking or vibration on your build? The crack could be as a result of these or more...

Even though the picture is not extensive enough, it doesn't look like a structural issue..
Let your mason break open the affected areas and redress them.

Might be as a result of chasing/chiseling the wall after rendering

Can this be used for pool @ topsy

Will forward you some that was selected for a previous pool . Not seen what u intend to use , make I show architect

Sir, there are tiles meant for swimming. Best is to use that to avoid leakage

twinskenny:
Presently correcting an Installation at shimawa . Imagine having only one socket per room and sitting rooms... Placing switches and socket in a wrong places.. it's well

So many like that. Don't know how an electrician will do a standard electrical installation with just one socket in a room . Very bad and poor installation. In my own personal kitchen I have 8 sockets and one cooker

EgunMogaji2:
Excellent.

You see on my build, lots of issues. Electrical outlets in the wrong locations, windows in wrong places not allowing proper furniture placement, etc

No American architect if in charge as a turnkey would allow that to happen,

I own all those missteps on my build because I chose to be the General Contractor on my build and I trusted locals who were incapable.

I won’t blame my architect because he delivered what I paid him for, working drawings.

Is there no MEP Design drawing for your project . It's good to have furnitures layout during electrical installation. I always requested for this in order to determine the location of sockets, TV position, AC position.

It is nice to have furnitures layout during installation. And if there is none, based on tye experience we can determine that on site .

On going project at ijede

Happy new week my man, maybe it's from the angle you took the picture, but there might be another floor of this building showing to the front. I can see a parapet fascia on a higher level to the right side. There may be at least a roof attic to the front.

The way I think too

chidi4eze:
Please, what kind of wire is best for connecting electricity from a pole? Also, please how much is the wire?
Thanks

It depends on your taste and pocket .

-Passing through underground : For aesthetic, using armoured or PVC/PVC cable
-Flying the cables to your house : Using Reclin cable

Now cost depends on size of cables and size of cable depends on total load or size of your building.

Then the iron is not strong enough. And if the space is not wide they will not be able to expand it enough to fit through it.

Hajji M.

Thieves can go to any length to get what what they want. Even a completed building with pop, solid entrance door, window burglary, they still enter the house and cart away all the cables, and some left over materials

They enter through ceiling and cut the pop. We just need to be extra careful.

Noted sir

Olusojisorunmu:
Probably he didn't pass his message adequately.

What he meant I guess is that he assist people to do the COREN registration. Then the candidate picks it up from there.

Exactly!!!!

bobkezel:
If someone is going to pass through all these rigorous processes why then is @micgray100 hawking the certificate? Is he going to impersonate the person during exams, or is he going to pass through the back door?
Or is he the interviewer? Or is he going to forge the technical report?
I didn't know COREN now has miracle centres like jamb...

You have to be there yourself, no impersonation in NSE exam. You have to study hard as if you are writing your final year exam.. Nobody can do it for you.. COREN is not like Jamb or WAEC. People normally fail the test/exam.

IDnoble80:
Helping people to get coren certificate lol


Brabus started this way too a computer engineer turn a builder

Not possible

impressive overhanging but the client purse will hear am and the structural engineer must ensure a thorough design to avoid story that touches.
