Please note that expansion joints are predesign into structures. Sure it can be retrofitted but all I’ve ever seen involved cutting an arresting line.

This ain’t my first time doing stuffs like this. I knew exactly what it takes and will give it all it requires when the time comes.

A quantity surveyor is different from a land surveyor as the name implies.

I agree with what you've said about the way they name floor levels but storey and story aren't interchangeable. A storey/story refers to the same thing which is the floor level. Floor to floor height is a different term.

hakeem4:

I think you’re mistaking floor for storey!

G+1 is a 2 storey building wether American or Britain
The only difference is Britain calls it ground floor while Americans call it first floor.

But storey is from floor to floor or floor to roof.

Quantity Surveyors are professionals that are trained to establish estimated cost of construction works such as buildings, roads, bridges etc.


The estimated cost will, of course, include cost of materials, labour, plant and equipment, preliminaries, overheads and profit.

Make I join the debate.

A bungalow is a single storey with ONE floor: the ground floor.

A four-flat and duplex is a double storey with TWO floors.

But in Nigeria, four-flat or duplex is a storey building.

So if one says in Nigeria, I want to build a storey building of four flats, that's an UPSTAIRS with two floors.

Architects in the house, what's the professional term?

To professional Estate Surveyors and Valuers, to avoid the confusion on nomenclature, we describe as follows

1. A development/ building which has a single floor. i.e after the blocks comes the roof, without decking for more blocks, that's a bungalow. It's has just one floor

2. Development on two floor levels (ground floor and the upper floor first floor as some may call it) is a house, then the design will tell you if it's a detached house, semi detached or a town/ terrace house. This kind of development has 2 floors, ground floor and upper floor.

3. A maisonette can also be described as having two floors. In a typical maisonette, you'll have the living room and kitchen on the ground floor, then the bedrooms would be on the upper floor, but found in condominiums mostly

4. Town houses/ Terrace houses can be on two or more floors. Ground floor, first floor and second floor (3 floors). In some town houses, you'll have a family dwelling on four floors. Ground floor, first floor, second floor and third floor (4 floors)

I try to avoid the storey or story building debate, by simply describing a family dwelling kind of development based on the never of floors before the roof.

My kind of development falls under a semi detached house on two floors.

It's a semi detached house because at the frontal part it accommodate a duplex, which has ground and first floor, then at the rear part a block of apartments.

That's a single building having two sections with a common roof and separated by party wall

I have to state it clearly that I do not possess any qualifications to advice on structural issues.
My advice is strictly on the cosmetic or aesthetic purpose.
Like I'm presently recommending to a nairaland client, I could formulate a rubber like putty with some limited level of expansion that would expand with little cracks on the wall.
It can't do anything to solve the cause.

Oga, is there a Whatsapp # you can be reached on?

extend the crack and put thick rods inbetween the cracks, then you cement it. That thing you’re looking for won’t solve anything.

the cracks only appear where there are pillars on the wall. the rest of the wall and the main building has no cracks so I chiselled and nailed wire mesh to the crack, then plastered but it still appeared.

You need to observe the crack further to confirm if its a structural failure or not. Put a mark/ line on the crack or a glass piece to observe the rate of expansion with time.


Also confirm
1. if there has been any disturbance ( workdone) around the fence lately..
2..The type of foundation done and
3. The soil test report/ recommendations for the land.
