This article has been very helpful to me as a lay man to understad the basic stages of building.I am in the process of building a country home in Aku.Aku is in Igbo-Etiti LGA of Enugu state.The plan is for a family of eight (father, mother,five sons and a daughter).I want all the rooms ensuit and bigger than the normal rooms we find in Nigeria.The plan should also have an outdoor entertainment area,a Mini Marian sherine for occational worship and a grave. comment on the necessary number of sitting rooms, other support structures that might be needed whether douples or bungalon bearing in mind the juditious utilization of available land space and the cost implication of the two options will be highly welcomed.

Thank you Kanayo for the compliments. You didn't state the number of plots of your land, but since it is in your village I presume you have a large land to use. Three living rooms will be adequate-- the main, the family living, and one other private exclusive for V.I.Ps. I believe a duplex on this land will be good, because you also needs space for outdoor recreation e.t.c Rooms can be as big as you want when you have a good plan and a competent architect working with you. Obviously raising your house beyond the ground floor as suggested will cause you more money than spreading your building on ground as a bungallow. But you also have an advantage of more airspace which is good.
