That generalization is not right, we have many competent bricklayers in Nigeria.. you just need to find the right ones.
You mean to tell me there are no bad bricklayers in Togo/Benin? Not so.

Hajji M.

But Hajj, the settings of these blocks are second to none. Those Togolese and Beninoire bricklayers are ten times above our
guys; especially the so called "agba birikila".

Hello lafolabi, 2 questions pls.
1:In the 2nd or is it the 3rd pic having bended rods,what is the purpose of laying those rods as part of the foundation?
2:I also see pipes in some of ur pics,are they being fixed at the foundation level?If yes,why? And if no,when then do u start fixing pipes in building?
NB:I am a novice in ds area and will appreciate a thorpugh breakdown explanation just as if ur explainibg it to a child.

Aventures:
on point sir. besides I can see a touch of thorough supervision and that is ine thing I know the OP for.

Aventures, you hit it right on the nose... Supervision is the word. Without adequate supervision, some of the artisan will just do what they want.
Thank you.

Hajji M.

Now that Aventures (one of our best and respected Builder here in Nairaland) has given you a clean bill of health..
But can you please upgrade your camera and get us good pictures? The pictures to your projects are not doing you any justice.
Thank you.

Thank you Hajji M. for the good advice.
God bless you sir.

Weldone Op, you are doing a great job there, i am happy to be part of this project... is a mind blowing one.

...Our concept and slogan ...Beyond IMAGINATION.

An honest question, not a critique but an observation and possibly an opportunity for learning.

1) Why is there so much excess (IMHO) mortar between the joints on these and most other Nigerian constructions?

2) I can see that the bricks have two sides, one side is flat and the other side has an indentation. When building the walls, why are they not placed in uniform? Is it that it will be concealed by "finishing" or there is a structural need to do so?

3) Do they not sell bricks in half lengths because I notice that when cutting bricks it ends up not being uniform at all. Or perhaps a better cutting method.

Thanks for sharing your project with us.

Thank you chekitaut. You also perform well, as you always deliver to site with good trucks. And full load of granite, sharp sand and filling sand.
thank you.
