DESIGN & BUILD A 3 BEDROOM FLAT FOR JUST N3 MILLION NAIRA!!!:
Welcome to Sharp Edge Design Ltd…
We are well aware of the
accommodation challenges that most people face in Nigeria and we have resolved
to provide a practical solution, taking Lagos as our starting point.
As a firm, we have spent the last
one year researching on how to achieve low cost housing with modest finish.
On this website, we will be sharing
some of our findings with you, but understand that this will be done with
caution for obvious reasons.
We will be looking at a wide range
of topics from factors that affect low cost housing, to causes of building
collapse, to the integrity of the contractor, to different architectural
styles, to grandiose architecture, etc.
Today, we will start a series on the
factors that affect low cost housing in Nigeria and they are:
POOR DESIGN:
Most times, the client spends a lot
more money when the design is done without taking the client’s “pocket or
budget” into consideration.
We have been practicing for years
now (please refer to our company profile on this website) and we have had to
work with a lot of designs and I can boldly say that well over 70% of the
designs we have had to work with are unnecessarily extravagant and mostly not
functional.
Some design mistakes that increase
construction costs are:
·
Unnecessary use of Corridors/Lobbies: This in most cases is a pointer to the fact that the designer/architect
does not have a flair for design and is obviously not savvy in space
management; the consequence being extra spending on corridors that are not
necessary.
·
Complex designs:
We have found over time that there is beauty in simplicity and that
complexity in most cases breeds extravagance and lack desired aesthetics.
·
Unnecessary walls:
Sometimes you don’t have to wall up every space; there is such a thing as an
open design and it will still be very functional.
·
Dysfunctional spaces:
If a space for instance is not well lighted or ventilated, it then becomes
compulsory for the client to artificially light and ventilate it and this will
consequently increase the cost of the project.
·
Poor circulation:
If a major space for instance is unavoidably used for circulation, then it
makes it compulsory to get extra furniture to control movement and this will
consequently drive up the project cost.
It is very important for the client
to know that in design, one single line can translate to millions of naira
during construction.
The architect has the responsibility
of carrying out a spatial analysis before a design is done especially when
economy is a major consideration.
One of our self given goals is to demystify
the prevalent belief that you must have millions and millions of naira before
you can build your own house.
Please join us in our next post as
we continue with our series on the factors that affect low cost housing in
Nigeria…
As we enter into a new year, please
think twice before you pay that rent again; think twice before you buy that
car, think twice before you throw that society party, etc.
