FamilyRe: Family Land: My Step elder Brother Wants The Survey Document To Bear His Name by troubleshooter: 4:31pm On Oct 16, 2021
Eleken:
My late dad's land... my step elder brother wants to carry land survey on the property and he want the documents to carry his name...

The first son... 5 boys from his mother side and 3 boys from my mother side.

..
The implication is that every other document you want to do henceforth will refer to the survey and the name on it (your stepbrother's) .you just handed him all privileges on the land

PropertiesRe: What Is Happening To My Decking? by troubleshooter: 9:27pm On Jun 19, 2020
tonididdy:
Hi NLanders and Engineers.
Good evening.

This structure was built in December 2019.
I noticed the room is always moisty.
When the room windows and door is shut... The glass sweat from inside.

Now it's the roofing(decking), just this part of the decking.

The room is well ventilated but since no occupant the windows and doors are always shut.

Above the decking is completely tiled and two brand new water tanks are sitting untop.

What could this imply?
I am just seeing this. I hope u have gotten the correct solution preferred to you in one of the many pages of this thread. If not, consider these carefully.
1. Ur slab(decking) fabric is heavily saturated with water sipping into it steadily in small amounts.
2. The colour of the water droplets is brown because it has some ferrous content due to stains by your reinforcement.
3. I can see ur riser and main supply pipes are surface-laid. Definitely the problem is not from there.
4. The most likely culprit is ur overflow discharge pipe. Check the floor drain. For all my kobo, that's where the problem is.
5. Check around the edges of the floor drain for possible sipping holes. You might need to grout the edges properly with pure cement paste.
6. If No5 above doesn't apply, tell ur plumber break open the floor drain and replace it. Its likely that he didn't use enough gum to hold the floor drain and the overflow pipe together.. Peace be unto you IJN

U don't need to be there, if you drive on Lagos roads, you know that the yellow Danfo and Vanagon bases are the velociraptors of Lagos roads. They either don't have side mirrors or ignore them when pulling out of the shoulder into the road spine.
They rudely expect you to hit your brakes or swerve and kill someone else.
That soldier just perpetrated a miscarriage of justice simply because he was observing the view from a wrong lenses.

You seem to be a hard worker with a high sense of detailing.
You just need to spend more time on the scaling of your maps to reflect more reality.
Try your hands on more play with lighting variety with less direct sunlight and more spot lights to reflect different daytime. You would wow people more and I could give you an A+.
Generally impressive! You should get a B+ grade for this.

Please the number 5 point to be corrected......Not soil test please, its Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) i mean.
EIA is usually done before your building approval is granted. And most times by specialized urban planners not your surveyor. The number 5 is outright balderdash. Expunge it.

bereiweris:
tnx sir i appreciate ur taking d time to help me. i was wondering if te room sizes re k? and will removing the store enable more cabinet to serve as store? thank you sir
You are welcome. The room sizes are standard but not luxurious. I don't know how much of land you have. Only d dining would be choked up. Considering that it's a transition area by this design, let Ur designer look into making it wider.

Don't cancel the store. Trust me, you will need it. If not a food store, a box room.
PropertiesRe: Constructive 3 Bedroom Plan Cristisism by troubleshooter: 1:58pm On Nov 26, 2016
ademoladeji:
My observations:

1. Move the window of the dining room to flush with the wall demarcating the main flat and the selfcon. This is because the kitchen door is obstructing a little part of the window.

Re: why do that? The dining window mustn't be casement or projected. We don't have the architect's schedule so we shouldn't second-guess him. That window could be sliding after all. Making it unnecessary. Personally, Windows placed in d middle of a wall allows for better interior design with curtains, blinds etc.

2. Reduce the walk-in closet of the bedroom beside the kitchen as well as moving the bathroom in same so as to have a recess of about 900mm. This is in order to have a small window slot in for cross ventilation.

Re: this suggestion sir, will end up reducing the luxury of that room.
If that room is on the north side, there's no cause for alarm. A conducive room temperature wld be preserved.

Alternatively, you can swap the kitchen + store for the dining + terrace. It wld be interesting to see how it pans out. And you will be guaranteed a 2nd window for the bedroom opening unto the terrace.
This would get you lesser number of doors opening into your kitchen with a better cabinet arrangement.

3. Why have that chamfers at the edges of the building because I doubt there would be same at the roofing of the building except there would be a kinda aesthetic column/pillars at the spots.

Re: I'm puzzled too about that. So till I see d elevations, I reserve my comment.

Thanks.
My submissions
Generally, I think your architect did a good job. Except for your eccentric choices( if you do have), I think the design is very OK.
PropertiesRe: Architects: What Is Wrong With This Preliminary Draft by troubleshooter:
My dear, where do I start from.?

Let me dwell on the majors:

1. Too many lobbys.
This signifies a poor articulation of design. Designers do this when they are boxed into corners and seek d easiest way out. Unnecessary Lobby are a waste of space and money. All those lobbys combined wld have given u one room or more.

2. The kitchen, dinning and toilet are a joke.
By this provided proportions, they are not habitable. Let Ur designer put furniture and sanitary wares in Ur spaces: u will see d wind blow on his fowl ass.

3.the exterior walls could be better aligned.
The arrangement could be better harnessed to look less unwieldy as presented here. This would make construction less cumbersome.

4. Based on this external wall arrangement, I would love to see how he handles d roof. If his thinking is d same, he would make a mess of D roof being u ecessarily cumbersome.

5. I love the fact that his living spaces are cross ventilated. Good.

6. the site plan would have thrown a lot more light on d general planning.

Last line: Ur designer could use up less space and save u less money In Satisfying d brief

Hello House,
I have a building project on a full plot of land in a developing area in Lagos.
I intend to build a fence structure around it including a gate to keep predators out Like the one in the picture attached
For security reasons too, it was suggested that the fence should not go up high so that people can see what's happening from the outside.

Please i have the following questions:-
What height is best for this type of fence?
What metal material is best for the screen(burglary) part?
What is the standard dimensions for the screen part of the fence?
What alternatives are available for the burglary part of the fence?

Further ideas will be appreciated.
Looking forward to your kind suggestions and comments.
Thank you.

There's no harm in doing such fence if the neighbourhood is developed, safe and secure. Where there's no such harm, Pls put ur building on display by employing a see-through fencing with metal works with total height of 2.4 - 3m. The see-through section can be 1.2 - 1.5m high.
However, if the neighborhood is truly developing as u so said, Pls, safety 1st. Cover and eat your yam discreetly.
If u intend having ur gatehouse as shown, ensure there are less vulnerable points such as having a window on the fence wall. Odikwa risky gaan ni.

Depends on ur definition of 'Standard'. Get a good Architect, get a design. Only then can u get a proper cost. Rough estimates for a decent economy building would hover Around 6M. But your taste and preferences about finishes and details would change a whole lot.
