How do I contact you sir?

ParamilitaryII:
Good evening, everyone.
I plan to start this project soon. Please, what corrections would you advise me to make on this plan? Thank you in anticipation for your advice.

1. Poor grid system.
2. Poor light admittance to the lobby. The secondary windows on the foyer and store walls will most likely not be functional.
3. Introduce more windows to the lounge.
4. Toilet orientation not too good.

I am not too comfortable with the design, looks too busy and stuffy for a 4bed bungalow.

Oh ye men and women of Goodwill, I am excited to announce my induction into the Architects Registration Council of Nigeria (ARCON) and membership of the prestigious Nigerian Institute of Architects (NIA).

Hello Family. I have 30 plots of land I would like to convert into an estate with proper designs like drainage systems, layout, fencing that would shield it out from the other area. Most importantly, the layouts, I want it to be way different from every other communities in the whole area.

Who do I reach out for the professional design? An architect or an estate surveyor? And how much would that cost.

NB: This is a long term goal

The right thing to do is to engage a town planner to get the layout designs; drainage system, power/telecommunication lines, road networks, subdivision of plots etc. when that is done get a chartered architect to design the buildings.

NB: the planner must work with a survey plan. so the chain is more like from surveyor to planner then to architect.

look at them, always bragging online about how they are the richest tribe in Nigeria but see where person dey stay. It you don’t pay my money nah ogun go punish your life and you will never see anything good infact you will die inside that proverty that you are in. Low life idiot that made me burn fuel for nothing.

I doubt if anyone would want to patronise you here seeing this.
so unfortunate.

The story of our country Nigeria.

My brother do you know that a white friend of mine (French Man) in Lafarge Cement Company, Cross River, confined to me that our marketers and politicians are our biggest problem and hindrances of progress in this country, he said that until last month august 2023, that their company price of cement was #1,500. That they recently added #300 making #1,800 because of the recent Dollar to Naira crash.

He said that they have only five patent marketers (distributors) of which most of them are top politicians and political godfathers. The French Man told me that these 5 marketers and other patent cement marketers across Nigeria are the ones that determine the cement price to consumers.

The man said that they were shocked to know that cement which they produce with about 95 percent of the raw materials being sourced in Nigeria here are sold to Nigerians over #5,000 per a bag.

Is really a pity, according to him, the marketers used the patency agreement to ensure that the individual retailers and consumers are not sold to, to maintain their monopoly and price control.

So my brother, this is just the cement sector only, the same thing goes to petroleum sector, food sector etc. So you see why God cannot come from heaven to change things in Nigeria, the masses have to rise and revolt to save them themselves and children from clutches of these few greedy men, or they will all die of hardship and sufferings with their generation.

If you think that things will suddenly turned around for good by these Criminal leaders, cartels and political elites, by just praying to God, without God fearing and purposeful leader taking over the affair of our survival, we will pray until we die all

It is disheartening for individuals to engage in deceit, duping others while still actively participating in this forum. While these actions may seem profitable in the short term, it is imperative to remember that ill-gotten wealth are never sustainable. One day, the consequences of deception will catch up with anyone who engaged in dubious act. Remember Proverbs 10:9 (New International Version)

"Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out."

This verse from the book of Proverbs succinctly conveys the idea that those who choose to live with integrity and honesty can walk securely in life, free from the fear of being exposed. Conversely, those who engage in deceit and crookedness will eventually be discovered and held accountable for their actions. This timeless wisdom serves as a reminder that ill-gotten wealth, no matter how substantial, are ultimately fragile and transient.

Ultimately, it is essential for individuals to reflect upon their actions and consider the long-term consequences of their choices. Building a successful career based on integrity and honesty not only benefits society but also allows individuals to leave a lasting legacy of trust and respect. As the Bible verse reminds us, the path of righteousness and integrity is the one that leads to security and peace of mind, while deceitful practices will ultimately be exposed.

No matter how successful someone may appear in the short term, the consequences of their actions will eventually catch up with them. It is far wiser to pursue success through honesty and integrity, leaving a positive and lasting impact on the world around us.

@N3xt wherever you have done wrong to anyone in this forum or offline please do rectify the wrong, so that you can be free and to leave lasting legacy for yourself and your children.

This is the word of the Lord.

I did a quote for someone here and he just ask for my account number I thought he wanted to commission for the job… he sent me 10k in appreciation claiming that some people wanted to rip him off! he doesn’t need to do that but then conscience.

Your last word "CONSCIENCE" says it all.
This discussion here is a thing of human conscience and nature.
There are clients one will meet, just by honouring their invitation they appreciate and treat you like you guys have known for ages.
On the older hand, there are ones that by default are stingy.

spyder880:
Since this is a simple building plan, I better share the floor plans here. We are already making arrangements to start this work as soon as possible.

The rooms are small, we can adjust the sizes of some rooms where possible.

The absence of a kitchen verandah will expose the exit door of the kitchen to rain and direct contact with the sun which isn't ideal for me.
I will advise you put one, in addition to the above mentioned implication, for a low cost project like this the verandah can also serve as a point for waste collection, placement of gas cylinder or even hanging of cloths for drying.

Good morning and Happy Palm Sunday.

Thieving huge undertaking
What is expected completion cost?

Sorry for the late response.
The estimate to complete this project is a subjective one as we are looking at various options of finishing. We intend to make the centre a smart one, include automated collapsible walls and lots of other additions.

Thanks for your interest in this project.

We are almost done with external plasterings.

Design reviews isn't something Any trained Architect should frown at, after all every design passes through juries in schools of Architecture.

However clients should endeavor to bring it to the notice of the Architect that his work must be juried before validation and final payment. It is also important that the client should involve the juror early enough right from the conceptualization stage till the final rendering of the 3D. At this point the job is as good as done.

The Architect inturn should endeavor to elicit requirements from the juror, keep updating the stakeholders till the final rendering of the work. At this point both the client and his reviewer understands clearly the outcome of the design.

This is the reason why I will always say that Architectural design is not a 24-48hr business.
The challenge here now is which professional Architect will agree to go into such agreement at the ridiculous amount clients are willing to pay.

It is an unfortunate situation for the Nigerian Architects.

Hatesin:


Your contact?

I responded to your email but the feedback was "email address couldn't be found"

This is my contact 08136140608

FEGEITOK:


Thanks for sharing.

Reminds me of the Biblical Building Code in Deuteronomy 22: 8:

“When you build a new house, make a parapet around your roof so that you may not bring the guilt of bloodshed on your house if someone falls from the roof.”

Your knowledge base is really wide.

Hatesin:


Your contact?

I just sent you an email.

The earliest known building code.
Zoom in to see the interpretations at the base.

Men meant business back then.

Architectural designs can be subjective, usually in designs of residential buildings a level of compromise should be achieved between the designers knowledge and the clients needs and requirement, in reality it is a 50-50 situation. This is the reason why homeowners should be actively involved in the conceptualization of their designs.

Why guests toilets are positioned in the foyer or lounge areas of the buildings usually is to maintain privacy, owing to the fact that foyers and lounge are a semi public area where guests have not too restricted access. It is only right to place the toilets there to avoid the guests getting to know what goes on in other parts of the building which might be private.

A smelly and unkept guest toilet is a function of hygiene and not an Architectural failure, after all people go to toilets of big hotels and establishments to take pictures and dress up. A guest that messes up your toilet should not get an invite another day lol.

PS: The design here is a 4 bedroom bungalow with a pent apartment.

michlins:
at four lengths and 25ft, you will have an excess of about 10ft on at least three lengths of the channels. What do you do with such waste?

Joining channels is never a problem, with good welding, it's as good as new.

Prefer having full lengths of 37/38ft for increased pressure.

michlins:
you need just 3 lengths of channels. The quotation is way too much. What's the location of the job

Why not 4 lengths of channels?
Don't like cut and join on tank stands.

DoctorWh00:

Chairmen. I’ve checked the drawings and they are very okay.
2. All necessary information’s as listed in my initial post are in the drawings
3. However, for transparency, you can send it to one more person here to also review it and give a final verdict.

DoctorWho.

To be honest with you, that drawing isn't fit to be called an Architectural drawing let alone done by someone portraying himself to be an Architect.

The drawing lacks the basic features required of an Architectural working drawing.
For instance, take a look at the floorplan posted there; no indication for floor level difference, no door and window codes, very poor dimensioning, no north arrow, no floor/ceiling finishings codes etc etc.

For the elevation;
no spot heights, no indication for doors/windows, no specification for external finishes etc etc.

How could you probably call this 8 sheets of drawing a work of Architecture?

For the records, the minimum basic features of an Architectural working drawings includes;
Location plan
Site plan
Floor plans
Roof plan
Roof covering plan
Roof framing plan ( for wooden works only)
Reflected ceiling plan
Sections
Elevations
Details
Door/window schedules
Finishes Schedules.
Finally 3Ds

In each of this features, there are a lot of information each should showcase which I may not be able to go into details here.

Following this basic features religiously one could get as much as 20sheets of well detailed drawings for a 4-5bedroom bungalow not to talk of this one with about 2/3 suspended floors.

Lastly, @ Oga Unzend please pay him his money after all there was no agreement on the basic deliverables.

Left for me, this does not qualify to be called an Architectural working drawing, infact any Architect that seals such drawings needs to be questioned.

I rest my case.

unzend:


ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS
1. Site location plan
2 site plan
3 floor plans ( ground, first second etc)
4 roof plan
5 sections (2)
6 elevations ( front, sides , rear)
7 windows & doors schedules

STRUCTURAL
1 Foundation layouts & details
2 suspended floor layouts & details
3 colum details
4 beam details + roof beams
5 stairs details
6 calculations sheet


I am not sure you've sent all this to me

These things here doesn't qualify as an Architectural working drawing. if it were to go through a proper approval process, it won't fly.

NB: I am not taking sides or trying to fuel disputes, my comment is only based on my training and professional experience.

We have taken a little break on this project while working to actualize other projects, that has been the reason for not updating this thread timely. We will be resuming work after the festivities.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MEN OF GOODWILL.

When will resume by January 2023, we will be making a slight adjustment to the parapet by adding extra two course of blocks. This is to enable us get a considerable slope for water run off on the roof system.

Some views of the guest house.

Amarisco:


What’s your new scope for the practical completion time

Merry Christmas to you and your household.

Unfortunately due to some financial constraints from the sponsor of the project we couldn't meet up with the scheduled practical completion time.

We have resolved to continue with the project by the 3rd week of January.
The following is top of our scope:
1.Fabrication and installation of steel roof for the hall.
2. Construction of the wooden roof frame and installation of Aluminum sheets for the guesthouse.
3. Construction of security house.
4. Finishes (some parts of the buildings have been plastered already).

Thanks for checking up on our project.

Reminder: we are done with the parapet coping.

michlins:
ok, what's the current price of 2mm sheet and how many did you use. If you stick to 2mm materials all round, materials alone will be above 300k

I can point out the areas that show the guage of pan you used but that's not why we are here.

Mine you that to build a very lasting gate, you need to frame with angle bars and not the 3 by 1½ pipe you used there. Those pipes will rust in less than five years. The anchors on the gate should be at least three (four is industry standard) to handle the weight of the gate else the weight will be on the top anchor and it will die off quickly.


I don't mean to disparage your work but the way you cut costs affects quality.

Good morning Oga Michlins.

Between 75*75*3mm angle iron and 75*75*3mm square pipe, which has more strength? Are they of equal strength?

Asking to learn.
