When you give huge projects to quacks just because of greed

Manage is nt best idea in building Production / industries
Having it in mind to build doesn't mean you have compromise standard!

Remember building Economic management is also practices by a good and competent professional and this's one of practices by a Builders with that, we don't compromise standards.

With little you have try an enagaged professionals to plan with either as full time or part time. Rather than engaging so call quack In other to save some cost.
Don't just call baba bili ,baba tamedu.baba chichi
Or calling some because he has bn in site with an Engrs .Stop dealing ordinary familiarity, Deal with competency..
Always do it with a professional to avoid wasting of LIFE and RESOURCES

. bad construction can also kills as covid19 to avoid that make sure you Engage professionals.

U'R RIGHT

Generally it may be assumed that the soil could not withstand the intended load. Then critii looking at the structure, materials used are substandard. At the fourth floor an integrity test would ve been conducted but the usual assumption by our engineers is that ego stand nah. See were it ended. Same happened in unilag but was covered up.

Wasted money .That money would have been used to set up businesses for people.Too bad !

Ijeoma660:
How was work even going on there when there is a lockdown? So sad!

.Did u think that building was built last two months?
The building has been standing there waiting for its completion just like other buildings standing in front of your that your house in the village. I don't think they are working and building under this lockdown.

That green net seem to be the on thing that didn't change in both pictures. Sometimes some worthless things will survive a disaster and you would be wondering why.

Why will the building not collapse when nepotism and mediocrity is the other of the day. The real engineers are roaming the streets or flying to Canada while the mediocres are made Coren president. What will pain you most is that a particular section of this country sees not wrong in nepotism, thereby surpoting a particular section of the country that are kings of nepotism... We will all suffer this together bc when things like ebola, covid 19, collapsed building, hunger comes nocking, it doesn't choose specific people to nock at their door, it affects every one. Did covid 19 spare kyari? OK. Is hunger sparing the people of SW and every other region? OK.

Use proper building engineer's and not upgraded bricklayers/contractors ..........

the client and the contractor should be question... some client can be stingy, they will keep advising you to manager materials

using substandard materials to build such an edifice.

That Engineer needs to be questioned
Even the town planning needs to be queried

God bless the giver

How and where did you confirm that the cause of the collapse is the use of substandard materials?

Nefort:

Building collapses are not always as a result of negligence by the engineers. Something hidden underground like a sinkhole can bring down a building.

Though you're right, but as professional site investgion must thoroughly carried out.
Beside this's done in many ways
A. Investigate history of the land
B.nature of land e.t.c

AtikuNetwork:
The contractor probably cut corners while doing the foundation of the building. The foundation just couldn't bear to carry the weights of the floor decks and pillars much longer hence the collapse.

The finesse in the skeletal superstructure suggests the substructure was competently built. I think they went against the original designs and started loading the structure at wrong points.

The Engineer fk-up...

This kinda building should starts from 8fit or 9ft foundation first!!! with 30mm Iron or above.....

substandard product

Thank God Renters have not rented it already.
Don't know why all this contractor will be using substandard materials without considering the fact that is humans that will stay in there .
Hope it didn't harm any one but if it did , it serves they right cause I can't imagine why someone as a labourar will work when he knows that the contractor is using substandard materials.

Engage a professional builder, you said no, now see the end result. Soil test is very paramount in the construction of a high rise building, followed by the foundation, because the weight of the building is carried by the foundation before transferring it to the soil. Hence more emphasis should be on the bearing capacity of the soil when dealing with high rise building.

You've been misbehaving for long in every thread..

But I can't phantom the reasons behind this manner of stupidity.


Get a life and stop being childish...

I wasnt expecting less.
That building has remained uncompleted for more than 30years.
That used to be the house for every mad man in Owerri.
If you grew up in Owerri back back, you will remember that mad man called "guy man", that used to be his house.
"Guy man" then, if you ever call him that name, he will chase you to where ever you run to.
Fun experience then but remembering it now, it's a terrible experience.

op na you bend ur hand take picture or the house bend before falling?(2nd picture)

I hope the Contractor has been arrested

hmmm

OK guys FTC debutant is here.

want to use this opportunity to thank Mtn for daily 50 free mb, which was used to make this possible.

I think say na opera mini day give am?

operotimi:
but na six storey building be this na

7, you count everything when using storeys and omit the ground floor when using floors. This building is 7 storeys or 6 floors.

Even on lockdown! If to say dey stay house na maybe life for no follow.

Indeed. Geoglogical conditions can change due to external factors. A simple change in the drainage system in a neighbourhood can alter the ground conditions and threaten significant civil structures.

NextD18:

Possibly, the column base, perfectly required rods, thickness of casting, foundation walls and other structural activities in the foundation were properly done.

How about the soil test where the strength of soil should be checked? That's what many builders overlook before building.

They just assume judging with the nearby buildings, next is site preparation, do their setting out and booom, they don start foundation.

Ur second paragraph make so much sense to me.

i tink the problem came from the soil, Nigerians hardly do soil test at least to know the type of foundation needed.


Looking at that structure, it has not even carried any load at all.
The dead loads are not even complete not to talk of several impending live loads and here there is a collapse.

Shithole town

RIP to the dead

Why do people compromise with building materials? This is the CORRUPTION we accuse Buhari for showing its ugly head in other small areas.

My brother, even the roads I see in that pic tell us all we need to know about the soil structure.
