Except for soak away, there's a level to which you can excavate the peats. Building is a science that evolves with time thus birthing new techniques and methods for construction. I have said this for the umpteenth time, Lagos Island and part of the mainland that are swampy should embark on PILING+RAFTING in construction. Any other method can be applied but at the discretion of a professional engineer. Think Safety, Build safely. Have a wonderful day. More enquiries Engr. Daniel TerraStone Shelters 07037629947 |
Properties / Re: Architects In The House, Pls What Can I Build On Half Plot Of Land? by danemenike: 7:13am On May 10, 2017 |
Morning, Congratulations on your purchase. Welcome to the league of LANDLORDS. ½plot of land could be alot depending on it's location. ½plot can be used for several things such as residential building(duplex and bungalow), commercial building(shopping complex, bars, restaurant) public building(church and mosque). My advise will be on the premise of knowing the location of your land and WHY YOU BOUGHT IT. There's so much you can do with ½plot of land. Linda Ikeji's apartment is sitted on a ½plot of land(unconfirmed). Engr. Daniel TerraStone Shelters 07037629947 1 Like |

Properties / Re: 2-Storey Building Collapses In Enugu, Construction Workers Escape Death (Photos) by danemenike: 11:22pm On Mar 23, 2017 |
ThankGod nobody was hurt. Causes of Building collapse – Poor service delivery by supervising Engineer or contractors – Sub-Standard Building Materials – Illegal Conversion/Alterations/Additions to Existing Structures – Structural Defects – Inadequate inspection and monitoring units. – Use of Inexperience Engineers – Non-Compliance with Specifications/Standards by Developers/Contractors – Natural factors i.e. earthquake, tsunami, flood – Faulty Construction Methodology – Dilapidating Structure – Defective Reinforcements Design The building shown by OP may have collapsed due to poor structural design and execution, this is because of the point of defect. There seems to be a long span beam which isn't properly supported whilst carrying additional slab load . That section of the building was not properly reinforced thus it collapsed. The state of ground floor shows that the foundation was properly reinforced. In conclusion, people should involve professionals when embarking on a building project, it will save you money, time and stress in the future. Engr.

Properties / Re: Ten Ways To Reduce Cost While Building A New Home by danemenike: 7:37am On Mar 15, 2017 |
Points raised are applicable to rural areas. What is the essense of working hard if you can't build and live in a beautiful home? Even God himself loves beautiful homes thus gold and sapphire are materials used for building mansions in heaven. OP please don't take us back to 1570s, Nigeria is currently setting the pace in the construction industry. What do you tell a client who has a piece of land on the Iagos Island? If people were to adhere to your advice I wonder the kind of houses we'll be building. |
Properties / Re: Why It Is Structurally Wrong To Build Directly On Sand by danemenike: 9:21am On Mar 12, 2017 |
There seems to be some disagreement amongst us the Engineers here. I'll like to state that there's no One-method to build a house especially with regards to structural detailing. We must at all times be open to learn new things, no one is a monopoly of building. Same method, same result. Different method, different result. @ OP, I still don't believe that someone can build on sandy soil without excavating, but however I was forced to study the method you stated. Assuming the foundation is properly chained with a beam there might be no differential settlement especially if the building is a bungalow or simple duplex with a negligible dead load. But I sincerely doubt that any Engineer no matter how quack will apply this method for High-rise building. What ever you do never forget the CLIENT is FIRST.

Properties / Re: Land Grabbers Destroy Houses In Ajao Estate, Lagos (Pics) by danemenike: 4:41pm On Mar 11, 2017 |
Very sad. I'm more saddened as an Engineer who has had several experiences on site. This issue shouldn't be taken lightly, it's making a mess of Lagos. I had a client whom I developed a property for in Lekki, these so called Omoniles kept disturbing her until she finished"our" project. I said "our" because anytime I design or build houses for people, I take it to heart. When some of the Omoniles sell land to people, the come back to make outrageous demands; the charge for development, the charge for building materials e.t.c This shouldn't be a norm. It's really frustrating you know. Engr. Daniel (07037629947) TerraStone Shelters |
Properties / Re: How Much Does It Cost To Build A 5 Bed Room Flat by danemenike: 7:13am On Mar 09, 2017 |
Everyone is suddenly a builder and a quantity surveyor. How we unprofessionally come up with these estimates amazes me. I have built many houses and still building houses for several clients on Nairaland here, I'll never give an estimate without considering the following factors; Building plan Site Location Type of soil Cost of labour in that area Cost of supervision Cost of building material in that area e.t.c The cost of the house I built in Lekki-Ajah was different from that which I built in Enugu. Similar building, different cost. Ajah was swampy whilst Enugu was very dry. In order to give you a proper estimate, you need to state the aforementioned factors. I wish you good speed.
