OP, who did the structural design in the first place, i guess the guy did not visit the site nor carry out any soil test investigation before doing the design, and that is why all this hassles at construction stage. I appreciate your technical input in ensuring safety of the life of future occupant and your client investment. The truth of the matter is that if you have gone ahead to execute what you have in the design, in case of any eventuality you will be absolutely exonerated. Lesson No 1: Clients please engage certified professionals for your designs and never refuse their proposal to carry out all necessary investigation in order to come up with a reasonable design. (some clients are mostly the cause of design defects, always believing that there is no big deal at design stage). Failure to get the design right will lead to wrong budgeting. Lesson No 2: Contractors, learn from segcy more do not be greedy investigate your site very well before commencing Job. All of us let's do it right. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Please segcymoor, can you let me know which company you used for your soil test. Again, why would you want to strain yourself since your client can't afford the pile foundation? Why not just wait on your client until such as time he/she can afford it..... |

prince0011: Please segcymoor, can you let me know which company you used for your soil test. Again, why would you want to strain yourself since your client can't afford the pile foundation? Why not just wait on your client until such as time he/she can afford it..... Segcy is doing this because construction gives him great joy. He is a construction man. The money will follow soon and it will pour. The old sage saying goes "do what you enjoy, and the money will follow" By the way i am very impressed with the analysis and technical know how. I once contracted a guy to do a soil test for me in Akoka, but he was a quack, and accoordingly recommended 12 meter piles. When they started the pile, they couldnt get good soil till about 18.5 meters in some parts of the plot and 21 meters in other parts. The plots opposite mine mean while did only 7 meter piles. With more than 25 pile points, you can imagine the effect of the unplanned expenditure on pile alone. Needless to say i took a long break after the piling because of funds shortage So it is a very tricky situation and only skilled engineeres should be trusted. @Segcy, If your client is short of fund, piling is not where to economize o, let him do a solid job and take his time to complete the the house. God will provide. |
