Exactly the colour of my question. What is that water For?[color=#006600][/color]

The thunder wey go strike these fake contractors n developers wey dey use low quality materials to dey construct buildings for this our nation ehn, the thunder still dey gymnasium...

The fact is large buildings like these are no longer made with just rebar and heavy concrete. Metal framing is more appropriate , lighter and stronger.

You only rush to comment without reading the post. SMH

I repeat the same thing, the course of all building collapse is nothing but poverty.
That so call quack builder can other the use of big rods if the money is they.
He can equally add 1bag cement to 3 headpan if the money is around.
Its high time to start seeing this pilling of sand and tiny rods as a result of poverty . let govt start building for the masses, people are just managing to achieve what they are not up to. Haven't you come across client boating how they chassed out their builder because he was was wasting materials meant for the whole house in one potion of their project?

Firefire:
CCECC doing what at the scene please ?


Abi na dem dey build the structure ?

They (CCECC) started it from the very first foundation before it was now handed over to an indigenous company to continue from where the CCECC stopped... So the building got damaged right from where the indigenous company took it from.... All I can say for now.

Oga u no sabi read?

I went to Alagbole in 2013 to see which company to supply me blocks for a big project around the area. I was shocked by the quality of blocks at every of the 10 places I visited. The blocks are so fragile that a 10 year old can not stand on them without dissolving into dust.

This is no tribal issue, I think Yorubas must have a rethink with the kwa kwa kwa mentality when it comes to handwork. In contrast, I bought all the blocks I used for all my projects in the east from block vendors. Why are most building collapse in Nigeria disproportionately in the Ogun-Lagos axis?

You're very right but don't blame Nigerians instead blame the government... Building material's are getting expensive day by day and tenants wouldn't wanna pay higher rent and if you overlooked that an build am expensive home it'll end up been there till eternity cos baba shukura and iya ngozi would build there house with substandard materials and the potential tenant's will go there cos according to them your rent is extremely Expensive.


All the same it's very bad to see cases like this, hope the government can really do something drastically about the economy cos everything is getting outrageously expensive.

KENNSAMMY:
WHEN EVEN ARCHITECTS THEMSELVES ARE PATRONIZING QUACK STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS. I WONDER HOW SUCH FRONTIERS LIKE THAT IN THE BUILDING INDUSTRY WILL BE ABLE TO ADVICE THE NOVICE CLIENTS ARIGHT.




WHEN I WAS DOING MY IT, I REMEMBER HAVING TO FUNCTION AS AN ENGINEER WHO REDESIGNED AND SUPERVISED BECAUSE THE ARCHITECT HIMSELF PERMITTED THAT A QUACK/ DRAFTSMAN DESIGN THE RETAINING WALLS AND OTHER STRUCTURAL PARTS IN THE FIRST PLACE

WELL, IT GAVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXERCISE MY PROBLEM SOLVING TRAINING.

My brother the first problem amongst design/building team members is cohesion, believe you me if they meet as supposed then issues will get resolved. The "national problem" of I am the all in all & the greed to corner other people's professional fees don't usually help us think productively.
The other problem almost outweighs the first & that is the process of securing a job/contract in our present day system. If you've ever been through a bid for a government project then "operatic perversion" will ring a bell. It's 90% to how you came & 10% to your competence!

Deduce the addition of the above stated & know ye that we should be thankful...

Woosh!

Mission to rebuild........ or mission to collapse?

THIS IS BAD... POOR QUALITY ROOFING MATERIALS

Water has 2 oxygen molecules. Now if someone is trapped, he needs oxygen to breathe before rescued.

The very fact is that no media is talking about the collapsed building which was as a result of corruption in Ogun state... the Govt in shielding the contractor who is the iyaloja of yoruba land and a very close ally of amosun... accepted to be blame for the collapse ...

Most Nigerian are fond of giving their construction projects to their friends or family members that are quacks or unregistered professionals.
Maybe we will start doing what is right when a family of a prominent in the country gets trapped in a structure constructed by quacks.
Another collapse again. I am very sure that if that case is investigated, the building was not erected by a licensed and registered builder.

This is an archytype of substandard raw material.

No sniffer dogs like we see in developed countries searching for signs of life...

Also, no safety boots, no safety gloves, etc

When them no go gree pay hse experts. Useless people

Weytn I go call diz one now??

South West engineers are stu.pid people.

It is only corruption that leads to building collapse.

Where they are supposed to use 15 bags of cement, they will use 10 and sell the rest 5 bags.

Every week one building collapses killing construction workers..
