[quote author=bixton post=66690659]Is there a guideline handbook for best practice?

Get 5 Engineers and 5 Architects from different countries and seek their opinions on certain things as regarding building construction then you have a debate.

Certain things we ascribe to are nothing but myths.

[/qb.
Best practices are location based for a lot of factors affect this for instance even with Nigeria how you build in bayelsa is not how u build in sokoto. At least a lot of us here have examples.
But all things said does not mean u will place a superstructure first before the building substructure at least we don't have dat tech yet. (In Egunmogaji's voice). That is what I mean by construction best practice .
Please note it varies depending on the type and scope of the project you are engaged in.

bixton:
There are no floor tiles yet to be done.
Walls tiles comes up first in all toilets, kitchen and my POP installer gets to work.
Tiller will work completely afterwards on the floor.

It's your project and your taste and your decision all am saying is it's not construction best practice .

bixton:
I have about 3 buildings/sites where I have done it that way.
My POP installer did not crack the wall tiles.
I guess my installer works differently.

Beacause some people drive right hand cars in Nigeria does not make it right.
After all all men are still driving cars.

EgunMogaji:
Approximately 10 feet on the sides, I like 12 feet, and 20 feet in the front.

Minimum. Of 3metre 10feet on the sides and the back and 6metre 20ft in front . That is the general rule but there are exceptions GRA and medium desnsity areas are 4 5on the sides and the Back and 9metres in front.
CBD can be as low as 1.5m on the sides and 3metres in from (here caution is taken such that u must not develop more than 50percent of your site.)
Finally corner piece lots have 6metres on both sides facing the road and 3metres on the two other sides.
But note most of this are dearly adhered to.
God will help us in Naija

good day folks,pls where can I get long span aluminium sheet at the cheapest rate possible in Lagos or Ogun n price .thanks

Iyana ipaja , ile epo, abuke tailor .

bixton:
There is no harm in doing it differently.
As there is no actual logical reasoning doing it in any particular format.

There are pop is a very messy process except you are having it precast y do u want to spend funds cleaning a well done tiling Job or even just preventing pop from getting to it .
Also the scaffold employed by the Pop guys may end up spoiling th tiles. So why take that risk

koolengrtimmy:
Do you also consider security, fire rating and ease of finishes?

Security is out of the questions as external walls are all made of materials strong enough. As for fire u have enough fire resistant paint sprays etc . Then these panels are much easier to finish in that they can be prefabricated to a satisfying level and installed.
The major determinant is cost and technical know how

sako28:
My ogas,
Which come first bathroom wall tiles installation or bathroom POP ceiling installation.

Thank you

Pop works

petikal:
OK, here's a question.

Why don't we build with treated/insulated hardwood in Nigeria? You know, a house where the exterior walls can be blocks/concrete, but the interior/room dividers would be wood? Think of the freedom and cost-reduction in running electrical wires/pipes, plumbing, and even future reconstruction/expansion.

My high school in Abia built in 1929 has residential buildings built entirely of wood, and some still look good!

A lot of people do it it's the cost associated with that makes people shy away from it.

Timtol:
It will.

Yes they will fit in you will work on a 5x9m grid it should be okay

Okay chief all the best

A house that has been roofed & platered what do u need a professional for?
Or u want to do a renovation sir?

It's actually called finnishes that is what he wants to do its a painstaking process and helps to bring the totality of the building to sync and meet the taste of the owner .
In this aspect your have the interior layout and design e.g furniture tiling and ceiling designs as needs be, painting and decoration site works fittings and fixtures and all other ghen ghen factors .

Why not simply employ someone to sweep it.
