gabbytabby: I absolutely insist on paying or at least buying gifts for situations as you stated. I think, maybe hope, that this will reduce any attempt to fleece. It's an important advice Ma. |

Miscellaneous: Orion is a good structural software... good detailing for slab, beam, column and footings. RCD ( reinforced concrete design software ) is a good made in Nigeria software for accurate structural design. it was developed by oyenuga. RCC is a good excel spreadsheet for reinforced concrete design and bending schedules 2 Likes |

erico2k2: I just might be down there in the same timeframe though highly unlikely but who knows. I have my travel documents for early next year though, it's time to thrust a structure into the Mogaana Village skyline In Sha Allah |

mufutau55: To tame KolaShangOne's decomposable vegetations around the compound. I'll carry this on but buy the chemicals from Nigeria. I'm sure they have way more potent shyte than we do. No FDA or as such nonsense |

abdulwastecx: Which would you recommend for commercial purposes. Have you tried ETABS? |

EgunMogaji: OK. I like the backpack one better... I am sure they still have Gamaline 20 in Naija, an old chemical. Hajji M. |

EgunMogaji: The reasons why I always like you. I know you will still come up with something laughable.. I will only need that for my agricultural field, unless I want to spray the whole neighborhood. Hajji M. 1 Like |

gabbytabby: Very correct Madam.. @EgunMogaji No system is entirely incorruptible. I once had a trusted guy who had access to site anytime because I gave him a key. There was a day I left site early and he told me they had finished using all d blocks we bought. Next morning, I saw already stacked 400 blocks. What he did was, they had about 70 blocks remaining d previous day, so he just told d supplier to bring 330 more blocks so he will gain d money for the 70 blocks. I later found out. |

EgunMogaji: Loool EgunMogaji sha Its too late now for the grasses in d building area. Some of the earth dug from the foundation has already buried d grass. It won't affect your building (remove all stumps n decomposing wood) so no need to bring that helicopter sprayer.. Except U want to spray dollars like Oga Spyder said.. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 7:24am On Oct 04, 2015 |
KolaShangOne: You're absolutely right, no system is infallible. We can only try to plug any loopholes as we detect them and hope our loss hasn't been too much. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 7:32am On Oct 04, 2015 |
KolaShangOne: I'm not worried about any insignificant growth that might have been buried and I'm completely comfortable with my foundation, completely. There's nothing there that I haven't seen on any of the major builders site on here, even those massive Lekki type builds All debris will of course be removed prior to commencing filing. But just to be sure I think I need to have one of your staff do an onsite visit. I'm thinking this requires someone highly skilled like an Engineer though Hajj may disagree |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by KolaShangOne(m): 9:37am On Oct 04, 2015 |
EgunMogaji: Just pay visiting fee.. (In dollars) and one of the male Engineers will be there in a flash.. I'm sure Hajn will be comfortable with that 1 Like |

Miscellaneous:i used archicad for the design, it's strictly for architectural design and when i use it for structural design, it's usually for buildings going for approval and the extra work isn't much felt. (structural design have to be done manually for it). the latest version of revit has structural design abilities built into it but what would be most appropriate for you to learn would depend on what type of work you intend to do and what your colleagues are doing. structural design for a bridge and a four bedroom duplex are entirely different things. archicad is the easiest to learn of all those applications. 1 Like |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by abouzaid: 1:21pm On Oct 04, 2015 |
abdulwastecx:and now we end up confusing the guy. anyway, what's best for him depends more on what he is trying to achieve, he sounds more like an engineering student than an architecture student. the revit vs archicad war is one that would never end so let's let it slide.@pic, the backside, currently too distracted to finish up the modeling

Hajj and FastShipping, help me find Damp Proof Membrane for sale online stateside, I've seen and read many threads online but I can't actually find it for sale online. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by FastShipping: 4:59pm On Oct 04, 2015 |
EgunMogaji: Why do you need to get it online? Go to Home Depot or Lowes. The ones I saw for sale online are in the U.K. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 5:01pm On Oct 04, 2015 |
FastShipping: Yeah I saw the Uk ones too. Some of my better deals are online, sometimes you can get direct from manufacturers or wholesalers. Home Lowes as a last resort. Thanks. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by darenyx(m): 5:10pm On Oct 04, 2015 |
abouzaid: Archicad+artlantis gives you this.. . For structural design, I recommend csc orion 18, etabs.. easiest to master with loads of tutorials online.. If you can use torrent, you can also download dummy series for the various software and Lynda series

abdulwastecx: Thanks a bunch man. I appreciate but if I may ask, is this RCD fully efficient such that there would be no need to incoporate Orion into the drawing? Please enlighten me……… Again, someone specifically said the str. design for a duplex & bridge is different, of course; I would like to ask if the RCD can serve both purpose... |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Miscellaneous(m): 9:54pm On Oct 04, 2015 |
abouzaid: @pic…… sorry to say but why does the design looks like a shadow has been cast on it? It looks shabby & hence, not beautiful. I thought archicad will have better graphics but sadly, it's behind autocad. |
