Teebawse: Definitely not a real engineer. What type of engineer writes diesel and nails as written on that paper? Quacks parading themselves as engineers. They are too many in Nigeria. 3 Likes |

InvertedHammer: Its a shame, this is where the engineering society of Nigeria need to step in. Seek to criminalise anyone who is not qualified to be an engineer and send out the appropriate task forces to enforce it. Its not rocket science. Enforcement will always be the issue with egunje |

Teebawse:Pls we should be very very careful about all this so called engineer. This is something of recent from the EAST where a Client took an architect's sketch n 3d provoking the architect which made him cut off from him and the man even went unpaid. The next he did was to get his so called engineer,and the work started as normal stuff but on getting to the roofing level the whole building came down. Wait and see what he now did,he went back to the architect he has stolen from and hurted with police men in his office to arrest the architect. I know the architect shall win. Pls we have thousands of quacks engineer like water in this nation ooo. Ole of ole....I read it and i know the qoute is wrong especially some obvious areas. Bixton is very good,he is an engineer with over a decade experience,tap from his knowledge,experience and skill. I'm not an engineer at all only an architect with a over a decade experience as well. #God save us #Cornerstone

Rubbiish:Practising licence is issue yearly, it is an evidence that you are still a valid ARCON registered. While your ARCON certificate is issued once in your professional life after you have passed all exams and registration qualifications. 1 Like |

itswell1: How can you make up such assumptions without actually visiting the site? There are thousands of reasons that might have lead to such a building collapsed. Most of the time, lack of proper structural designs and implementation of such designs are the major reasons for such calamity 1 Like |

Teebawse:Sorry was late Kokogbo is the most expensive hard wood, funny to let you know that 2x6x12(sawmill) is sold @1400each to site(Lagos). Now let apply simple mathematics in 1 2x6 you will get 3 2x2, 2 2x3 & 1:1 2x2 & 2x4. cutting for a line is 30-50naira depending, on the wood I am sure you will get a mixture of wood. |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Chekitaut: 10:24pm On Jul 13, 2018 |
