yungmin: Your form of argument comes inform of insult which is toxic, When you give a tiller job won't dey quote for the job, or any other profession because I sign out money and disburse fund makes me an accountant or can I even audit myself properly, SMH There's a motion already in the house reason you see firm using a QS to produce their BEME , There's too much of floated price when prepared by engineer which makes project cost non realistic or unfinished etc There's a move by NSE then can't remember the outcome read more on it and stay informed boss ..

On the above discussion even though an engineer can prepare bill , I dont think it will be detailed like a quantity surveyor who specializes only on costing though most of our design software nowadays and presentation software gives the quantity and tonnage but they dont factor simple cost like transportation off cut of iron wastages etc.. Savage value of a project , when a project is profitable , we are not giving the in depth knowledge well while in school, some engineer already create a niche for themselves to cost civil works but its better we allow the Qs do their things and submit back to check if all materials are fully quoted for.. Engineer should stop trying to be Q's or Architect get them as frnds and enjoy discount https://allafrica.com › stories Nigeria: 'Beme is Illegal, Non-Existent in Other Countries' https://allafrica.com/stories/201008090934.html 2 Likes 1 Share |

The plot is a full one having a corner piece edge , the client request i should pick my preferable half for the project , I settled for corner piece edge , we were face with which side to face one side is on a close road and the other on main access parking consideration and the likes we allowed a TPL , Surv, and The Arch settle this professionally among themselves (work colleagues ) I usually borrow decision and I enjoy them fighting for professional superiority in decision making.. |

Nigeria are only use to the norm's if Nigeria also have lot of skyscraper even without effect of earthquake and wind I'm sure we will have more building collapse than China that's how to rate research.. Saying the Chinese code is nothing to write about is absolutely wrong and saying Chinese bridge in Nigeria are changed to bs code is also wrong for those build in the past .. You need to understand how the Chinese work after each building or construction is completed they put a regulation to it a residential building can never b use for church, even most Chinese bridge here they limit heavy load truck from going through by putting sign and top barricade because they use their structure only for intended purpose.. The said building the Chinese claimed its 100x stronger and stable than conventional one . Nigeria government already partner with China long ago to take final year civil engineering student on scholarship for more knowledge on the Chinese code and mode of construction, so we should be prepared someday in future all public project will be similar to Chinese own faster and strict regulations.. 1 Like |

Amastermovic: This vibration does it come from foot load traffic and have u try to also observe the structure when heavy vehicle pass through your site road as well .. the new guy approach is quite expensive (assumption) because I dont know how the building is scheme it may be d best using mesh and addition thickness of 50mm to the slab couple with finishes of tiles chairs table bed etc etc will reduce d vibration . What I'm just trying to say is while dragging your contractor you may likely need to drag ur designer a little because d reason you paid 4 is rest of mind .. Contractor as well should have an in house person to quickly help them check the design before they commence with construction .. check should be carry out for as built structure before you proceed , some as built work can land u in problem big one. or you should have posted this for long maybe a easy fix will be suggested . . |

Just for educational purpose only pls don't reference my view to d discussion, Well I have discussed vibration here few months , its a structural issue which the designer may have check for user of a structure are sensitive to vibration than others even though all structure vibrate but there's permissible allowance for this before u can feel it. If the person feeling this vibration is not comfortable with it the mind can never be at rest even if a structural engineer carry out all assessment and assure nothing is wrong. This will then call for some investigation by first viewing structural member how slender are they , checking the design and some construction pictures if available. Reinforcement etc Then if all this check and it conforms its now the engineer decision according to design philosophy to load the structure lightly because this one is heavily loaded except the new person prob your foundation to ascertain well ..

barakah: Sorry about that the image u published does not give in depth of what could be wrong or what kind of collapse.. During this down pour do you notice wind in action? Do you have cracks on this wall before they collapse? Whenever the collapse occur does it get to the foundation part ? Do you usually repair the collapse and rebuild from there or from scratch? Where's your compound water channel to or do we have it pond at the back? Is there adjoining properties behind the 120 fence ? Describe the soil in a clearer terms? The collapse occur at a specific segment all the time or any stretch of the 120ft Show a clearer picture of the fence standing with the collapse part.. My consign is not identifying this only but your build wall also should be observe careful with this with the kind of pillar and casting on the fence.. 3 Likes |

@diordaves I understand from your point of view but it does not work like that in Engineering and construction.. But limited to kobokobo though. You will not invest over 12bn in a project and think what are this professional doing here.. I state it clearly each of this checker will ensure you did not forget and question your basics of design because no two design are equal, big contractor for the fear of spoiling their name will redesign with their own consultant to check if everything I equally right and when they sense something you send calculations sheet and valid assumption of this.. Most foreign multinational will send your drawing to their parent company abroad consultant to check with their code and see how workable and where optimization may come in.. For new concept design this drawing will also be send to season construction engineer to see how workable the design drawing is.. Sir Engineering is diverse and some specialize solely on a niche while others knows all and will send to those that specialize to look deeper.. On issue of getting a good company that wont compromise such company will still ask for your consultant on site 3 Likes |

diordaves: Things don't really work that way , a structural drawing goes to ministry for approval which means another check from other Engineer sometimes internal check may omit some stuff or wont ask enough question from another point of view. If I design it goes through 6 checkers this drawing is a future guide which means this drawing have been conceptualize in paper before the construction team gets to work.. Now for site checker consultant After this drawing contractor are found with it works in so so place we will do it like that here and they charge for same scope from the bill and it won't work like that.. The concrete grade they will mix for you with excuse of workability will definitely shock u . Arrangements of reinforcement is not always right and they will cast and you the client will never know though they have used what was specified but in a wrong way.. Presently a PM and consultant on a project and I can tell you how the sub contactor don't like my presence much because dey feel I'm a time waster I have also work on a project where all discipline have there consultant on site daily Qs, mechanical , structural, Architect this exclude the contractor Team and they have their personal consultant to defend any suggestion or give reason why this must be that.. This is not for kobo kobo project ..give ur project to any Experience builder and visit regularly and have an understandable view things will work out fine 3 Likes |

fabulous85: You did not show exact position of the column , picture too close , no picture to show how the cracks look like before the repair.. Did u add any additional loads to be block after repair? Did you do some ground works like interlocking etc, Can you remember how deep that pillar is in relative to the top level? Or just the reinforcement is place in same level at the topsoil boarded and cast.. It may be some settlement issues on the column part trying to settle fine since its not chain with the block wall it moves down a little and u notice the crack... One of assumed solution if its what am thinking separate the strip of the block wall from the column insert a polystyrene in between and plaster back. That's if you don't like the crack .but I will advise you to wait a little bit longer and study how progressive the crack will appear and the width measurements 2 Likes |
