Poor foundations, weak walls coupled with the weight of the roof.

Expect to see more buildings with tiled roofs collapsing!

Our construction techniques and methodology need to be updated in line with the materials we currently use.

If the building had a zinc roof it wouldn't have collapsed.

Too many mason, architect, landlords turned engineers are the causes .. My cousin once told me he's going to construct his 4 storey bbuilding with 30m, I asked him how he said they have a method for it . I believe same method applied in this collapsed huz so

.... Bro, even the structure was cladded with a zinc or aluminum sheet, it would have still collapsed for reason why the collapse took place could have been wrong design concepts, not following designs specifications, using sub-standard building materials, engaging an unqualified structural engineer etc.... either of these factors could be the cause of the the structure cave in. thats it bro

Calling that Aboki a shoe maker will upgrade his status,
he is a shoe repairer or shoe shiner.

We are the real shoe makers just like the Italians.

The Abokis don't make shoes, they only repairs and polish shoes

some engineers need to go back to school. Knowing u did not lay a good foundation with a solid German floor or piling why use a tiled roofing sheet

Thank God no life was lost. It's very unfortunate that due to negligence and corruption, Coren the regulatory body is no longer living to its expectations of supervising the quality and strength of materials being used and competences of the builders despite partnering with the school.

Our construction techniques and methodology need to be updated in line with the materials we currently use.

If the building had a zinc roof it wouldn't have collapsed.

The problem with construction work in the east is as follows
1. Poor sources of materials for structural works, especially gravel/granite and clay free sand

2. Lack or very poor structural designs when building house of more than one suspended floors

3. Poor construction techniques when building medium rise building ( houses with more than two suspended floors). This is one of the major problem plaqueing construction works in the east, artisans parading themselves as engineers build houses without adequate frames

4. Lack of adequate geo technical test to determine the soil properties such bearing capacity and settlement rate.

5.finally, lack of adequate supervision by qualified professionals.

I have done some jobs in the east and I can tell you that structural work are neglected in other to safe cost or in some cases due to ignorance

It is a myth that stone coated roofing sheets are heavy. The weight of a stone coated roofing sheet is smaller relative to that of the timber truss on which it is placed.

Majority of the building weight is from the suspended floors and partition walls you placed on them.
Any building, more than one suspended floor need to be built based on a detailed analysis and design carried out an engineer and supervised by a reputable engineer.

All valid points especially point 4. Even those to interpret the results of such geological tests are lacking!

With the current changes in climate it's become even more critical.

I disagree with you bro, what is the highest weight of a step tiles roof...? this is not enough or responsible for a building to have collapsed. Below are some possible reasons:

1. Insufficient and Inappropriate use of beams and pillars.

2. Insufficient use of cement for concrete beams, pillars and the setting of blocks.

3. Usage of a wrong gauge of iron rods for the casting of beams and pillars. For this kind of building and looking at the nature of the surrounding, lots of 16mm rods are required. This might not be rightly used.

4. Poor foundation with a wrong concrete german floor.

5. The amount of periods given for a particular phase of the project to cure before putting another is also very key. This might not be equally considered.

These and lots more could be the cause of this casualty.
