₦airaland Forum

PeoplesArmy:
Where did this forum hold? Is it ongoing? I think it will be worth attending for real estate aficionados like me

It was held at Four Points by Sheraton, Lagos. It's an annual event packaged by 3invest Limited, a real estate advocacy and investment firm.

This year featured developers such as Gran Imperio Group developer of Inagbe Grand Resorts and the Grand Lake, Briscoe Properties Ltd., developer of Oluwole Urban Mall, South Port Harbour, VI and Orchid Courts, Ikeja and other great developers.

It's an interesting networking event. I'll share the video links once it's out.

The Construction Industry is Constantly Evolving and so we are

The construction industry is constantly changing and evolving. Each year it seems there are new trends in the industry. The three biggest trends that stand out at the moment are energy-efficient housing, budget-friendly design-build, and smart homes.

Contractors and construction companies need to stay ahead of the trends so they can give their customers what they want for their homes and projects. Do your research on what is up and coming and be able to explain and promote the products that are popular at this moment. This can help your company by continuing to stay a step ahead of the rest for your customers.

Yesterday, massive pile of rebar were been delivered and we started installing kickers for the columns.

Interestingly, we have another admirer in the estate. He seemed to have fallen in love with what he saw. Meanwhile, I cannot deceive myself. The job here is not even our best. I hope my client is not reading this o

And may the good Lord continue to bless our clients who put food on our table.

Project Update:

The carpenters are busy tidying up the shuttering for the first floor slab while the iron benders are preparing the reinforcement. I'm still unable to bring you pic updates due to issues here and there. They're personal though but I assure you that pic updates live from my lens will come alive from tomorrow.

Hello,

Nice job you are doing here.

My question is when are you doing a treat foundation, it looks like the area is not waterlogged so why did you opt for raft foundation.

Good question!

The soil condition do not necessarily have to be waterlogged to determine if the foundation should be raft or pile or any other type of foundation design.

The most important thing to take note of when designing a foundation is the weight of the proposed development. Another critical issue often overlooked that is very important in foundation design is how watertight a foundation is. Concrete Block foundation have been found to always fail after some years due to excessive moisture in the air that seeps through cracks and pores/hollowed spaces in the concrete block.

A well designed and watertight concrete foundation or raft will not only support the weight of the structure, it will also keep the foundation watertight all weather and anchor the building properly to the ground.


In the case of the ongoing development, we opted for a raft foundation be caused of the imposed loads and the need to keep the foundation watertight.

AskBrabus Series: Concrete Block vs Poured Concrete Foundation

Poured concrete foundation wins hands down. It requires far less labor, it's less expensive (when you look at the complete system) and is more water tight which is one of the important features of a good foundation. The poured concrete's ability to resist leakage gives it a leverage over concrete block foundation.

As a seasoned IT professional, I've learnt to always deal with point of failures in my network designs and now that I'm into construction, I still put that into practice.
Blocks have a multitude of potential leakage points/points of failure - at every mortar joint. To achieve a watertight block foundation, I would recommend that a carefully designed drainage envelope be used on the outside surface of the block foundation. I know that there are builders who have had different experience with block foundations, hopefully they can share their views with us on this thread.

For me, poured concrete foundations win hands down.

Updates from the Atlantic View Project Site

The things that inspires me.

Built almost 30 years ago. This is my own definition of a functional room. A dedicated terrace to allow fresh sunlight pour into this room. Effective cross ventilation that will remove moisture and heat from the room, improve air circulation and thus create a healthy home – both for the structure and the occupants.

Why do we need ACs in all our rooms? #justasking
