‘Preventing Calamity’! Gov. Sanwoolu Seals Gerrard, Ikoyi High-rise

https://www.thecapital.ng/higris/

What could have warranted such an order? Findings show that Lagos State Government is miffed with the property developers and owners for embarking on such a project without subjecting it to procedural approvals from the state government and other authorities vested with the mandate to ensure compliance with standards and quality. In other words, the massive project has been sealed for lack of approvals from required quarters, as Lagos State Government has risen stoutly and promptly to halt the gargantuan project.

According to an inside source who spoke in anonymity, the State Government took the action to seal the building in order to ensure that what happened with Lekki Gardens Estate when its on-going six-storey building collapsed on March 8, 2016 would not be witnessed again in the state.

“It is unheard of that the owners of the Ikoyi project in question would embark on such a capital intensive project without obtaining required approvals for a project as massive as that. Gone are the days of negligence on the part of the government when people flout the law. Sealing up the project is law taking its due course

Nothing like official report… when owner try to be smart this is what happen….

And to all Enginneer that usually jump on a project without due finding… here you have it.

Hmmm.. But is it even possible to build 20 storey buildings without an Engineer? A competent one at that.

Who will interpret the structural drawings?

The vibrations from the collapsed building would have most likely caused issues on the other structures.

At my welders place in Alimosho and he's complaining 2.5mm checker plate is now 50,000.

Is this true? I remember it used to be about 20,000.

This is unacceptable, are you not able to take it back to the seller? So he can at least see what he sold you.

I bought this one here for 14,500 and 13,500 per carton in the east, they said its Korean. It has seen rain though but again it was just installed.

Of course I can. But chances of getting your money back is quite low because we've opened the cartons. Replacements will probably be the same.

It's one of those things in construction.

Have you seen sample of Alucoboard made gate before? It would be interesting to see that. The finishing will look more beautiful but the durability may not be good.

Over to you n3xt. Take on the challenge

I haven't seen it before..

Hello guys

I just want to ask, must there be wall tiles in the kitchen wall to wall?

I ask because recent samples of kitchens that I've seen and intend to copy don't really have wall tiles.

Again, what's the consequence of not tiling the kitchen walls wall to wall.

Thanks

My kitchen designs only have tiles around the cooker area just incase of oil slpashes and sometimes for beautification.

How much does it cost to plaster per sqm?
It would cost between N2000 to N2500 per sqm for graffitex application not to talk of stabilising the block first.
I thought plastering has a structural purpose to building.
There is a silicate paint and plaster that is even more cheaper than graffitex and that would work.

The 2000 - 2500, is it for Labour only? Or materials and labour?

Please can you break it down from foundation level to block and decking lastly roofing

This is a 'big' project.

If you need this kind of breakdown to guide you, it's best to contact a Quantity Surveyor. That's their job.

If you're looking for someone to handle the construction, we can do that for you.
