"Idiot's Guide" is a series of books for newbies released in USA here. He is not using it as a direct sentence.

oh……… @EgunMogaji sorry for misinterpretation never knew of idiot series before now only knew about dummies.

Please any civil or structural engr here should please tell me the software used in str. design. Revit or Orion? Which is the best?

EgunMogaji:
I learnt and used SketchUp. It allowed me to convey my ideas and needs to my architect who then took the ball and ran with it.

thanks alot man.

EgunMogaji:
I don't even create threads anymore.

All the usual and pertinent suspects are all here

It can even be collated into a book, volum by volume.

An Idiots Guide To Building Basics by Hajj M. (or maybe a pseudo name ) Volume 1, published by Nairaland Publishers

An idiot can never nurse the idea of creating this kind of thread. I thank everyone for their contribution even still………

Who ever created this thread, God will purnish that person with success & prosperity……… indeed info rests here.

abouzaid:
this is one of the designs I'm currently working, it's a low cost design for a fifty by fifty plot of land. three bedrooms, two downstairs and a modest sized masters suite upstairs with a six feet deep veranda overlooking the ten by fifteen courtyard on the back. minimum sized bedroom is a twelve by twelve and all rooms cross ventilated. semi open plan living room.

please which software did u use for that design? And please can anyone help me with the name of software used in structural design? I have been seeing guys in older threads talk about Revit and Orion.... are both for str. design & which is better to learn?

abdulwastecx:
rafter don't rest on the fascia ( either insitu, precast of polystyrene). the rafter is connected to the tie beam with the help of a small strut, both are then connected to the wall plate. the sketch below will help to buttress my point

pls, looking at your pix, the one you held is that rafter, purlins or strut? I'm kinda confused with them ……… any assistance will be appreciated.

who has played game of thrones here?

abdulwastecx:
Project manager (aka general contractor can be a quantity surveyor with experience in structures, building technology and architecture) his major work is to organize other professional involve in the construction of a building. Job size is a factor to the choice of the general contractors. A simple bungalow don't really need serious job planning and organization, hence the owner if around can be the general contractor

thanks a bunch

abdulwastecx:
I think people over rate the word ' professional ' here a lot. before you build a house you have an architect that will design the house base on client taste, requirement and general building codes. The level of involvement of others like civil engineer ( for structural work) mechanical engineers ( plumbing, cooling device and heating system) electrical engineers ( wiring and lighting devices ) depend on the complexity of the work and design.

I have seen so many poorly done job on nairaland and off nairaland and the first thing that comes to mind is the little attention generally paid to structural work. most people build high end building of several floors ( 2- storey and above ) without something as basic as soil test which cost so much less compare to the cost of the finished building.

Building a bungalow is not rocket science and the owner ( where the money is coming from) can decide to be the general contractor , job progress will be down to proper communication and understanding between building owner and all others professionals involved

I'm in disarray considering ur last few words. Is it possible for someone with no knowledge of structures to be a general contractor for a project? isn't he suppose to be knowledgeable in dat field? Perhaps, I'm wrong ………… pls put me in the light of things …… or maybe u shud give me the idea of who a contractor is……

Abdulwastecx or any other, do u consider the level of sound from one room to another when using blocks? or is there a calculation for dat?

the leg is closed na……… all these bloggers and news tho!

Ray360:

When admission list is out, study what you are given ………… my 2naira is on that!

sigidporte:
can someone below 50 in putme score but above 50 in aggregate be considered?

yes na…… very well.

sigidporte:
do they give admission with aggregate or putme score?

Can someone below 50 in putme score but above 50 in aggregate score be considered

with aggregate but in very rare cases agg. of 47-49 can be admitted to seemingly unfriendly course. Imagine some one who applied for pharmacy is given adult edu or human kinetics or igbo ………

nwajude1:
