A lot of houses in Nigeria are built with cement blocks to the point of overuse sometimes (my view).

Are there any detriments of building with a combo of sheetrock/wallboards, wood and cement? Your responses are highly appreciated.

well such building with combo and sheetrock /wallboards cannot stand test of time nigeria in terms of micro climatic factors that is reason they are not encourage i hope you understand that wallboards could sagg and shrick under hot weather,more so the security situation in the country completely rules such building materials off.so must people goes for sandcrete and concrete as best building materials so far.

cheers.

Thanks Desse.

In terms of reconstruction though for instance in the process of making a room wider, putting up demarcations or wall hangings, isn't it more feasable with wallboard/sheet rock than cement blocks?

Also how is the availabilty in the local market?

I've been working with sheetrock for a long time and I never heard of the shrinking because of weather so that is not a problem.
