Preparing for ground casting
Compacting & placement of BRC mesh

What do you say to this?

n3xt:
This gotta be outside Lagos. I guess Ondo state from the type of block being used.

Well done!

It's outside Lagos, in Ogun state.

Your gender shouldn't be an issue but your capability. I am in a male dorminated industry but often times I am presumed to be weak because of my gender but strength is not all about the physical, my strength is my ability to think critically and solve problems.

Sand filling in progress

You need to occupy yourself, develop yourself and get her out of your heart. She's with someone else now. Do same.

No woman wants a man who still holds unto his past. Let the past be past. Move on. Move up. Get a grip of yourself and you will find love again.

Gigaset:
You are wrong, no concrete poured inside is just hollow blocks you can see the blocks in the image below

Edit: i personally took those pictures

The compressive strength of such blocks must be high enough to support the load on it.

Pregnancy differs for every woman. For some it's an easy journey, for others it's difficult and it could also be life threatening too.
Some women see it as an avenue to stress their spouses and be lazy. This is very wrong.

However the spouse should be there for the pregnant wife cos she is going thru alot of hormonal changes which might affect her moods, appetite and reactions.

Solid filling the hollow blocks with concrete.

Let's break it down.

So for example, I engage the services of an architect. I will then engage the services of an independent consultant to check the work of the architect, right?

Now the question is: what is the qualification of the Independent Consultant (?) that qualifies them to check the work of the architect? In other words; what are you (the independent consultant) bringing to the table to assure me that you KNOW MORE than the architect in these matters? Are you also an architect? That is duplication and overlaying the process. Are you a Professor of Rocket Science? How relevant are your skills in this situation?

In my opinion, a seasoned architect will deliver either as a team or even as self-employed. As a client, any architect I think will need an independent consultant to . That na akoko (baby) architect.

It is convient for the client to assume that the contractor is building to specifications..but we all know that this is not always true. How then do you get value for your money. This is where the consultants comes in,

Unless the client wants to keep supervising the job himself even at that, does the client understand and can interprete the drawings. Can he confirm that the standards and specifications required and stated in the drawings/ designs are meet.. Or does he just want to build and recoup his money. .

The presence of the design architect & engineers will provide the needed checks. Even in a design and build projects, consultants help the client to monitor the project for quality, time and cost.

It's will be a herculean task for the client to supervise all the workmen on site hence the need for a projectmanager.

QSFemi:
Nice.

I guess this is a swimming pool.

Thanks.

But it a gym.

Another of our projects

Its okay they are divorcing in peace not in pieces.
Funny indeed.

Just endure this moment but let the daughter know you are displeased and won't appreciate any unwanted/uninvited visitor in future into your home.

It is not advisable to keep visiting young couples and your mother in-law should know this.

Maybe it's time to set some rules about People visiting your home. But your rules should be fair to both families, friends and relatives.

Shameful. Shame. Shame. What is the hope of the masses if having good health facilities in the country is exclusive to the rich and the powerful.
