Construction updates from this side with love.

6th Week: XL6 Trillion | Atrium House

Stevo30:
The lintel in the pictures i shared is not precast lintel. If you look at the pictures very well what they did is to support the blocks at lintel with wood, they then filled the blocks with concrete mixture. The only thing is that with the method they didn't use iron. The blocks are stronger than what we have here i agree. It's an alternate method of building low cost housing. I wonder what the national building research institute does in Nigeria. They should be coming up with this alternate, cheaper and sustainable way of building.

Baba, there are cheaper alternatives here but I’ll advice you as a client not to encourage your baba lati to go out the way to proffer cheaper ways to build - you won’t find it funny.

If I have my way, I’d be producing beam blocks for lintels and also producing many other precast elements.

See below

Focusmind:
As humans, sometimes, compassion trumps logic and I may be compelled to send something to him as a way of supporting his recovery, count my losses and move on. Not because he was right.

Baba, I’m happy to read from you and I truly understand your message.
Thanks for your decision to support. You’re putting humane in humanity.

@hslbroker2 he don do. Accept whatever is offered and move on to bigger stuffs.

Thank you

@stevo30

Stevo30:
For the professional builders in the house, check out this building process from brasil. Is this possible to build low cost bungalow in Nigeria. Notice reduction in use of steel and mortar

;

I have this happening near me but I’ll be comfortable doing traditions here because we don’t have the type of load bearing blocks they use here.

I’ll post pics shortly. The build next to mine has precast lintels

@chuckkingston

Pls dm me on +234.80.234...29.122

Good morning @Hslbroker2

I can see all that’s at play here and I can feel your plight. At this point, I must tell you that have to move on.

In an ideal world, everything on a construction project would go according to plan. I mean “an ideal world.”

I won’t be able to dwell on what went wrong, who was right or wrong but all I can share with you is to focus on rebuilding your business and establishing good systems to prevent such error in the future.

A system of detailed, complete and consistent reporting (whether good or bad) will improve your odds of preventing formal disputes.

They call it technicalities here but just so you know it I’ve been there before. I have this client who refused to accept a refund on a job I’m no longer interested in doing. I did him an official email stating my reasons for dropping the job, asked him to provide account for a refund which he refused to do and waited till he’s ready (legally or whichever way) to take back his fund from me. He got the same value of money he paid for the job 4 years after. I didn’t have to add a kobo to the amount paid - not even a court could ask me to do that.

On this your matter, na my chairman dey involved so I’ll encourage you to move on bro and take the learnings.

There’ll always be problem that could lead to disputes such as payment delays, variations, non-issuance of change orders, schedule delays, disagreements on the scope of work or emerging conflicts between main contractor and subcontractors, you need to learn how to communicate this early and often to the client on all available medium (even on Nairaland forum) so that potential problems can be confronted head-on.

Have a beautiful Thursday!

Please quickly get back to winning ways. I really missed your lovely educative threads.

Well done bro.

Etranshub:
Good morning world.

Contact us for your bespoke metal works. If it's made with metal and you pretty and cool then we are the right plug.

Quite a long time. Well done!

ChuckKingston:
Alright sir. Here you go.

Firstly, my choice of this course - building - was greatly influenced by my zealous quest to be not just a major player but to also initiate and drive new innovations in the construction industry at large.

I am usually fascinated by how simple plans on paper are converted to jaw dropping structures on site. My curiosity to know how it's done pushed me to constantly visit the multi-billion mega construction projects (currently handled by Benton Bau after taking over from Quintec) going on in my school to not just feed my eyes but to also learn the practical nitty gritty of all the theories that I've been learning from my seasoned professors and lecturers.

I do not just seek to fulfill all righteousness by hooking up with some random construction firm just to pass time and fill my log book, I desire to be mentored by an experienced construction professional. I desire to learn and be equipped with a grounded orientation of site operations and also the realities of construction practice in the Nigerian terrain that cannot be learnt in the classroom.

For the records sake, I am a little above beginner in the use of AutoCAD and Ms Project software. I am very much open to perfect my skills in it if I get an opportunity.
I am highly adventurous but very cautious too, I am a deep thinker, a fast and willing learner, I also relish thinking out solutions to real life problems.

I look forward to getting a positive response from you sir.

And perhaps I failed to convince you, kindly advice me on what to do to improve myself as I strongly believe that failing is an opportunity for me to become better.

Warm regards.

Good morning great guy. I’ll attend to this later today.

Nairaland spambot locked all my accounts out since yesterday.



XL6 Trillion | Atrium House - Project resume this morning.

ChuckKingston:
Surulere in Lagos sir

Let’s do your interview here.

I think I know someone here who might find you very useful on his upcoming project. He’d be working with some of the best guys in the trade in couple of weeks and I can recommend you for placement if you can convince us here.

Tell us a bit about yourself, your experience and why do you think we should consider you?

bixton:
Do you mean a medical doctor....
Only if that doctor is well knowledgeable or have a vast experience in construction projects and have been actively involved in projects of like manner.

Not far from truth.

Until recently , I used to think everyone putting on a lab coat is a doctor.

Construction Managers (PMs) do more to bring the projects they oversee to success.

They’re involved in project planning, distributing/managing resources, time scheduling/management, risk management, creating benchmarks, managing the budget, managing staff, and managing relationships with different trades involved and even more.

ChuckKingston:
I hereby appeal to

N3xt, Aventures, RichYoungRuler, Skimanski, Rotecch

Please kindly assist me with a reputable construction firm to do my 6 months I.T as a university undergraduate studying building.

You can reach me privately on chuckkingston5@gmail.com

Thank you.

Where are you based?

EgunMogaji2:
The valley views are awesome.

The residents are the who is who in Nigeria. I’m always humbled when I go to the houses for parties,

I know why you chose that estate

Nezzjnr:
Where's this in Festac

Which Avenue

Festac in Ijebu Ode

EgunMogaji2:
Entrance to my estate at Fasi Yusuuf.

Damn kidnappers haven’t given me peace of mind to go as often as I do

Lovely locale.

I really love that particular house.

KolaShangOne:
While there are standards, it's not entirely cast in stone. Instead of the normal 2.1m doors, we made these 2.5m x 0.9m doors on a project last year.

Still made some doors like that on an ongoing build.

I’m looking at pocket doors for the bathrooms/closets in one of my upcoming builds.

One of my pal is doing 2.4m windows and doors. A lot of guys are loosing the box already.

The state gov try small for the road. Better than nothing.

Prospecting Ijebu Ode | The next big thing

Today, I intend visiting one of my ongoing project in a small community in Ijebu Ode.

The interesting part of this project is that we are building in a small town that’s closest to the city center where massive developmental projects are ongoing.

During my last visit, there were massive road construction work happening in the city (though not getting to my site). I’d be checking out some of these projects and how it’s likely going to affect the growth and investment in this community.

Another big plus for Ijebu Ode right now is the ongoing Ijebu-Ode - Epe Expressway which is currently at 95% completion.

#wakawaka

EgunMogaji2:
The commercial borehole will constantly feed a central main large tank. From there it’ll feed smaller tanks in each building. It should be seamless integration.

I’m hoping someone else can sort out the attraction though I do have plans for an amusement park in the future.

Thanks for your input.

The question I always ask myself is this “How are other estates within the suburb performing in the last one decade?”

- Adron Estate, Bako
- Government Schemes, Owode & Command. Most folks don’t even know there’s a government scheme in Command.
- Lade community turned Estate. This is the fastest growing organized community in Omi Adio in the last 2 decades where like-minded homeowners reside. It’s not even a gated community.

These communities have been in existence many years before the creation of Ologuneru, Akala expressway, Elebu and the likes but the ROI is not really encouraging.

Rental cost too is very very low.

So for me, it’s not a viable investment. We’ve had train stations in that community since the 60s and it hasn’t really had any major effect on the property buying pattern of the people.

Just my humble submission here.

Good morning NL

kiekie1:
Happy Sunday.. We acknowledge your patronage Sir !

Thanks.

I want a steady and clean power supply to my household equipment. Where would you suggest I mount the stabilizer?

Mains > Meter > DB > Studio Equipment

I’d love to have it between the Meter and the DB. I hope that’s cool?

I also have a dedicated inverter in the studio apartment.

somehow:
Maybe the client is good to nature.

I’m tend to believe so.

Chekitaut:
Bariga 80k, Shogunle 100k
Rebate ₦10,000 on the next trip

I like this.

Chekitaut:
Bariga 80k, Shogunle 100k

I’ll need some good number in Bariga. We’d be looking and 20 - 25 trips for block production.

Let’s do 70k sir. God will bless you

I no dey for 100k sand to Shogunle. How much is stone dust to Shogunle then?

Chekitaut:
