Mustiboy: Thanks alot for the detailed explanation. Can we adopt such methods in Nigeria? We are not prone to some of these natural disasters, and we have vast forests. It will greatly reduce the price of cement and eventually reduce the housing problems we are currently facing. 1 Like |

Elipsis:Ignore those earlier responses based on assumptions. I lived in Norway so I know better. No house is built without foundation or on wooden foundations. All the houses have concrete foundations while wood is then used on the body and the floors of the house. You don't see the concrete foundations because basements are standard parts of a house in cold climates, so the foundation is usually underground. 7 Likes |

Elipsis:Cost and weather are part of factors that contributed to that. Since they have extreme cold weather wood and insulation is good and its cheaper than concrete. Moreover, these countries have large forests which keeps the supplies of the wooden product going and affordable. Most of the houses are built as prefab (built in the factory and transported to site) both wooden and concrete houses are built like this (most). Even if you build a concrete house wood will be used to partition and line the inside. However the houses have concrete and insulation (fuke fuke) foundation. The woods are well treated and can last for decades. the next questions is why can't we do that in Nigeria? Well, we don't have sustainable forest, we keep cutting and not planting enough to replace them. So wood can be more expensive. Our weather is hot and wet so wood will get destroyed faster here.. Security, it will be easier for thieves to cut through your house with wood. its not that the bricks stops the determined thieves. 4 Likes |

tlops:Thanks alot. I really appreciate. If we can develop a cheap housing module in Nigeria, it will really go a long way to address our accommodation issues. As well as being a goldmine for investors. You identified some issues - hot weather and wet wood that will be destroyed faster. With regular maintenance, cant that be addressed? Like regular treatment or replacement of damaged parts? The same way people patch cracked walls and floors. As regards security, one can also re-enforce the house with iron bars or something, together with other security measures like alarm systems etc. It may not be as standard as a regular house, but at least, people will have a decent place to sleep. What do you think? Cant this be done? 3 Likes |
