Oh OK! Thanks for your response sir.

mufutau55:
It has been done severally. Check various threads of Spyder880 for samples. You dont install the ceiling fan directly on the POP, rather on roofing wood or if decking on a specialized hook incorporated into the concrete slab during decking process. Thanks.

Hajji M.

I have never seen a ceiling fan installed on pop before. Considering the nature of ceiling fan(little shaking and vibration), I think it will crack the pip with time.

sako28:
Ogas in the house, my electrician is saying he can install ceiling fan on POP using chandelier hook put inside the POP ceiling.
I plan to use a ceiling fan with chandelier lighting effect.

As anyone install ceiling fan on POP before.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate

Check out ieltsliz.com. She has really great content.

I know spiral sir, thanks for the pictures.

BrabusNG:
This is spiral (supported) staircase. Hidden stairs

I didn't said it is spiral. Just that place(landing) that you stepped up

Dennis3D:
This is not a spiral staircase

I need this, pls.

Answer to your first sentence "who lead the team", the answer " Architect".

coldcandy:
I dont think the initial poster meant qs would do work of the structural or civil engineer. We are discussing who leads the team at the site.
All you need is sombody who can bring all the departments together and achieve the building design goals at optimal cost.
The engr surely does not have monopoly of team leadership qualities or building knowledge.
I have seen guys and ladies delivering excellent buildings but they are not engineers.
As homeowner, do i need the structural engr to be on site everyday? Or architect everyday? Or M&E engr everyday? If i know when to call each one of them to site and if i can make sure materials are on site in time at good quality and quantity then why should I hire a 24/7 "engineer"? If I dont have these qualities and I hire a computer scientist who can coordinate all these people and materials, then why should the building "professionals" (whom i have paid to come and do their work and go) be fighting him?

Same thought.
That spiral-like part will be a little bit difficult

EgunMogaji2:
Just out of curiosity Sir but why didn’t you do a staircase landing as opposed to going with tiny threads?

Some pages back, I think someone mention pop to be 4k/sqm. On the bebate between pop and plasterboard. Cc: next

yinkaoke:
Good morning sirs/ ma's n engineers, l got the below quotes for Pop, help me check if ok, and what are d important questions to ask so as to have quality materials and best pricing. Thank u all

There is this materials(can't remember the name), it usually looks like fiber, I think that is cheaper and better of pvc

yinkaoke:
Thanks Abolarin, so which is best n cost friendly? Can't afford pop for rooms. Help me achieve this great people.

Nice design boss, I love the structure. That spiral-like part of the stairs got me thinking...

Meanwhile, let me be your plug to complement the building with electric fence-wire, that will be nice on the fence

Not sure how much help I can offer, but I'll just run through my journey.
Got a job in the UK so needed the IELTS as 'proof of English' for my visa application (also want to try to do an M.Sc. while I'm there).
Was told I needed to pass at/above B1 level (band 4.0) in each section for the job, but found out I would need to pass at/above C1 level (band 7.0) in each section for top grad schools. Also needed the result pretty urgently so I didn't have the option of spending a lot of time to prepare (had 4 days between when I knew I needed the IELTS and when I took the test).

- I created an account, booked a test and paid online at the British Council site - https://ieltsukviregistration.britishcouncil.org

- Read everything on the first couple of pages of this thread, then did same for the last couple of pages. After this, I had a general idea of the IELTS exam structure and the typical problem areas for most candidates (didn't know anything about the IELTS before this).

- Ran through the practice tests on the IELTS Prep App and the challenges on the IELTS Word Power app. I prepared for and took the SATs when I was younger so I found most of the IELTS stuff relatively easy. Also, writing is a hobby for me so I felt pretty confident of my abilities in that section even though statistics from here showed it was the main problem area for candidates.

- My Mistakes on Test Day
Speaking
I wasn't very audible and I talked too fast (which is a general problem I have). The interviewer stopped me twice to tell me to be more audible. If I had been louder, slower and tried to articulate my words more clearly, I would probably have done much better. One disadvantage of not prepping adequately is you don't realize your weaknesses till test day (or you don't even realize you have those weaknesses). So, you should definitely practice much better than I did.
Listening
I got distracted at the beginning of this section. My eraser fell off the table and I (by reflex) bent down to pick it up. By the time I got back up, I realized I had missed some things and just couldn't remember what they were no matter how hard I tried. Probably missed the first two or three questions here which is why I got the 8.5. It's pretty straightforward to get a 9.0 in this section if you listen very attentively and you don't get put off by the accent of the speaker.
Reading
This was a perfect section for me. My background prep for the SATs definitely helped here. My main advice is to forget everything you know about the topic you're reading and focus on what is actually in the passage. If it is not in the passage, it does not exist. Don't get carried away and start providing answers based on your own background knowledge. Only provide answers based on what you read. See below example:
Passage - "Frogs live in swampy habitats and can lay hundreds of eggs each spawning season. Frogs exist in a variety of colors."
Statement - Frogs are green in color
Options - (a) True (b) False (c) Unknown
The correct answer to the above is (c). It's easy to lose concentration and just choose (a) because we generally know frogs to be green in color (especially when you don't have a lot of time), but the passage does not explicitly say this, so that piece of knowledge simply does not exist. The passage also does not explicitly say that frogs are not green in color, so that piece of knowledge also does not exist.
I think it's possible to get a 9.0 here too if you practice well enough and get used to the types of questions asked.
Writing
I was pretty exhausted by the time we got to this section. I didn't have breakfast before my test that morning, a rather foolish decision in retrospect. I also didn't bring a drink along. You definitely should not come for the test on an empty stomach. You should also bring along an energy drink. Don't underestimate just how much energy this test will sap from you. In the end, I finished both write-ups with about 5-10 minutes to spare (writing is my thing) and was completely drained. If I wasn't so exhausted afterwards, I would have gone through both write-ups and substituted some of the more common words for less well-known synonyms. That would definitely have taken me closer to 9.0. So, for writing, the more esoteric the word, the better. Just be sure that you're using the words properly or you'll actually be shooting yourself in the foot. The challenges on the IELTS Word Power app will get you familiar with some synonyms that should come in handy. Also make sure to properly section your work with paragraphs. Each paragraph should put forward just one uniform idea, and should only contain sentences relating to that idea. Don't make your sentences too long. Each sentence should carry a single unit of thought and should be concise and straight to the point. Finally, don't mess up your punctuation. Practice your writing with these in mind.

- Got the online results about a week after the test. Still waiting for my hard-copy result certificate to be sent to me, and it's taking far too long in my opinion.

- Wish everyone all of the very best!

Pls do you have any materials to use for preparation?

Betgal:
I got my result exactly 13 days after I wrote the test (online), got the test report form last Friday. I think your result is due by 4th Sept. Relax, it's just around the corner.
All the best.

Some would be applying for the first time while some are already gurus in this area. So ask your questions here for the first timers and I'l try my possible best to answer. For the gurus in the house, you are welcome to contribute and help others out.

Please note that this thread is for IELTS intending 'takers'.

Good work here...

Oh OK! Now I get answer to my previous question. Thank you sir

n3xt:
We also clad all the wall with aluminum sheet.

Sorry sir, on the picture2, how do you intend to drain the rain water? Seems I am not getting something there or the picture is not clear enough

n3xt:
I’ve done a couple of flat roofs using wood, steel, concrete slab and recently exploring the option of galvanized polystyrene necked panels with Zifax Global Services

There are so many way to achieve this but here are examples of the things we’ve done.

You can check tower for .7 gauge roofing sheet. That’s the only place where you can get complete gauge and you can tell the difference when holding it.

Pic 1 & 2: Hidden Roof
I fought the architect very hard on this design because the design didn’t make room for maintenance but he was insistent.

Pic 3: Galvanized Polystyrene by Zifax being considered for flat roof slab installation.

Credibility is very important! Bad eggs are many, as Egumogaji, Hajji m, and others usually emphasize on "due deligence"

Leezah:
I think It's time you mentioned them this will improve the credibility of this forum. The said person gave a quotation for just fencing a 60by120 for 4 coaches 1.8 million as at 2017

You are right sir, all necessary things supposed to be done before architectural drawings.

n3xt:
Yes, it’s not his job but he needs to be well informed everything important about the land before drawing the plan.

This is one reason I respect ihebrooke (Nairaland architect) so much. He always ensure he obtain all the relevant information before designing for me.

Bearing capacity shouldn't be the work of an architect

n3xt:
Your architect should know better. He must have seen the land and know the bearing capacity of the soil.

Well, you have point.

n3xt:
Well

You can either make a difference or make an excuse. You cannot make both.

I was in Ibadan for a project in 2018. I created my own world by working with the younger generation.

During that period, I built the largest young leaders network with over 1,000 members in the University of Ibadan and UCH/ABH. I was able to work with young, vibrant and innovative minds throughout my stay.

There’s a lot of potential in that city. You just need to understand how to unearth it.

Beside construction, I’m also investing heavily in the younger generation. I believe we can all make a difference and there’s hope for Nigeria.

I was raised in IB tho. I rep IB.

That is it o, I Iove Ibadan for peace but for work mba
