Well how do you get en ovate when you are not exposed to new ideas via training plus learning how to do things in a diffrent way?
I have been sent to China and Canada by my company for training. And I have trained people from Dubai and many places of the world

I agree we need training and retraining. That's why I said in one of my old posts that I wish I can replicate as many Brabus as NextHome needs.

Well done bros.

AZUH, Donatus knew me as Bosun. Tell him we worked together at Diamond Estate, Sangotedo. He'll give the house a perfect facelift using the POP.
And come back to show us the awesome transformation.

Brabus! Brabus!! Brabus!!!

-------------------------------
How .many times did I call you?

Just 3 times. I'm the voice of reason.

Now the interesting part is that all those malls and cinemas were built with drywall. They were all open plan. So what's the biggie about drywall constructions? smh

I worked on quite a number of them with team of highly experienced professionals (locals and foreigners) who handled the installations.

They were all Nigerians. The only foreigners I ever worked with were the Software Guys who designed the POS terminal OS.

Abi, make I dey show pictures of what we did almost 2 decades ago that some people have not seen in Nigeria before.

These are not corner shops "Bosun Davies" is my name. Find out from those who truly matters in those malls and cinemas.

And funny enough, the best place una go sit down when you come from your developed cities are those malls we support for almost 2 decades now. Why not one of those your most sophisticated wishful dream houses of yours.

erico2k2:
I don't think sending leopard for training is a bad thing
Remember. If you where trained locally on a machine you might need More technical training for maintainacne. You will learn more via exposure.

Cinemas and shopping malls were reintroduced in Nigeria by the South Africans in 2005 or so (The Palms, Lekki, Ceddi Plaza, Abuja and Silverbird Galleria, VI the pioneer). Then I could remember how they come in every mins to fix stuff. You may need to find out who maintains those malls for more than a decade now.
Everyone from the MD down to the cleaners are Nigerians and they deal with the most sophiscated gadgets you can ever mention. Maybe that's the reason why I'm tagged Jack.

Anyway, it didn't take long before we took over operations and for more than a decade now, more shopping malls and cinemas that is rated above average are springing up here and there in Nigeria.

You still believe it's purely foreigners at work.

Bros, think different!

Dominionng:
It was executed by Nigerian construction companies, majorly Psylicron Solutions Limited and few other indigenous companies, all Lagos based and not "Osun or Ibadan based company". Nigerite just got the project then contracted it out.

Thank you. Much respect. So many indigenous coys got the deal. I have a design of one of the school sent to me by one of the bidders.

Bros, you'll only fall my hand if you say that piece of cake is something only foreigners can do. Even the finishes is not up to the standard of finished quarters at Alausa. Then I'll know where to place Dominionng.

#AirinJinNa

Why do we engage foreign artisans? A typical "Yoruba" construction worker is lazy by default. This explains the reason why Togolese, Ghanians and other foreign artisans are mostly used.

Why do we need foreign support? Our research centers have failed us. We need to ride on their expertise and successes to achieve more. Which construction company in the whole world won't do that?
ETEX gave NIGERITE support and people were sent abroad for training. Even a common Pendini (Kitchen Maker) sent people to Italy for training cos they know it'll cost more to do it the other way.

#WillTheyEvenKnowTheDifference?

I get work jor.

Good Morning from NextHome!

Brabus

Cost and Quality comes hand in hand.

There are several material testing labs all over the country. #NairalandIsNotOne

Lets stop having a Champagne taste on a "Zobo" budget.

There are quality vibrated blocks around (N500 per unit) if we truly want to buy. There are standard and approved iron rods in the market if we wanted to buy them. There are good roofing woods and lightweight steel trusses fabricators if we wanted to have them (At least most of the new event centers (marquee tents) are locally built).

And of course, there are noise makers like me and you who can only talk but not show the difference 30 - 100 years of sojourn in developed cities made in them. Only to show us how to take steps backward. How to replace industry standards with wishful thoughts.

I'm observing though!

I just gave a good insight to how we got here in the first place. Oya! As usual attack the messenger and ignore the message. Oyinbo my foot!

I am an optimist to my bone marrows, and so I believe it is very possible despite my previous jokes. It might be very difficult to do in Nigeria due to some reasons;

Hurry
The culture in most building projects in Nigeria of today is the "counting" methods which stipulates that brick layers are paid according to the number of blocks they lay each day. This makes the brick layers to hurry so much to get enough counts to feed their families. The casualty is the quality of work as it becomes impossible to control the angry workers who wants to beat all odds to survive.

Cost
You can agree with me that building projects are competitive, thus the owner will love to do his home with the lowest cost and at the highest quality possible. In this aspect, he might pay too low, which will make the builder to use any available options to achieve a standing wall, not necessarily perfect. Neat, well spaced walls cost money and time to make. But it is possible.

Other works on the walls
Due to innovation, our walls have come to perform some other functions apart from giving privacy to some sections of the house. We now pass electrical, plumbing and even AC pipes through our walls which might either cracking and bend them during the works to make these pipes invisible in the walls.

But remember, with attention to detail, dedication and using the right tools, a flawless wall is very possible in Nigeria.

In other words, Owo ni koko.

"Walmart" not Thrift store. "New" not used.

Ain't dealing with soft targets 2nite. Waiting for my big fish. Today is not Halloween.

Already had my dinner an hour ago. Gimme Haruna Ishola and help me sleep peacefully. Haruna will do for now. Save the relief fund for the next Halloween. #OdunEgun

I wanna eat big fish And they don't serve it here. Not even on tonites menu list. I checked everything to the last page.

Bro! Save your buck for the Halloween.

segcymoor:
U mean u drove truck on a block or concrete. ?. That one can't be describe as block but rather concrete.

The hardwood broke when we carried out the first test. The 2nd test was done later this evening. The same block still refused to die regardless.

#TestContinuesTmrw

CGF Block vs Sharp Sand Block

It'll be very unfair to compare the strength of the two types (stone-dust and sharp sand) of block.
We eventually drove a truck on the CGF and it did not break.

Test continues tomorrow when we will be comparing the strength of CGF Hollowed Core Blocks vs Sharp Sand Non-Hollowed Blocks.

It'll be worthwhile to do carry out Resistance test on the CGF Hollowed Core Blocks and Sharp Sand Non-Hollowed Blocks.

Load Test | Stone-dust (CGF) block vs Sharp Sand Block

@ msogunro,

At 200kg (1.96kN) both blocks survived the load test.

I wanna do more. I'll drive a pickup on both.

@ KolaShangOne,

BLH is done with the new plan. It's already with me. Send me your email for a serious business.

Or shoot me a mail at bosun@nexthomebuilders.com for the necessary docs.

msogunro:
Will you also conduct a load test?

I'll try and do so.

You tend to write a lot of rubbish, for someone trying to avoid a "headache"!



Lastpage!

This I consider as rubbish. Twist of words to make it look like an intelligent discussion.

Brabus: I've already made enough savings using with board/plank fascia instead of concrete, aluminium or steel fascia.


According to Elder lastpage, the sentence means "I have used steel fascia"

Dominionng:
FALSE!!! NIGERITE got the Aregbesola project contract, part of which was contracted to yours faithfully! Aside the sidings they produce here in Nigeria, all other materials were imported! A representative from their mother company (Etex Group Belgium) came around when the project was commissioned.

In other words, Nigeria construction company cannot handle such a job.
Is that what you mean?

lastpage:
I actually, l think you are the "twin brother" of Goodluck Jonathan, .....from another father!
You both have an uncanny knack for "over-aggressively" defending yourself, while flip-flopping,....... even when no one is attacking you! Coupled with the fact that you both dont enjoy any public trust in your areas of speciality
Infact, if not that Nigerians have said "never again", l would have wagered that you will also be the next PDP-President! \



[s]You are the one that said you had done "STEEL" Fascia.... not me!
Only to show ALUMINIUM Fascia!
Okay, l get it! "America will know" that "Steel" and "Aluminium" are the same.[/s]

BTW: I thanked you for your contribution, at the beginning of my post.... then l finally thanked you for your contribution, at the end of my post, adding that l am waiting on the contribution of "others".
What is it that you dont understand in that?
and you have to be complaining that someone is worrying you, like you are some kind of "Holy Grail" in construction?

Abeg, take am easy o. I never said YOU or anyone, MUST adopt the option... its just an "open academic discourse" l am having here.

Again, THANK YOU... for your contributions to my question....now, give others a chance please!



Lastpage!

I know you're trying to help and I appreciate that youre trying to save money and reduce weight but it’s actually a simple and easy solution that I need. Not a headache.

Bros to tell you the truth, I can't read all you write. Show me and convince me, dont twist my words.

Don't tell me! Show me examples!!


I'm done since yesterday. I don't need another open academic discussion on narcissit theories. It drains positive energy. As a keyboard warrior, I'll defend it with all my energy because it had no supporting evidence. It's all in the head. A typical me-think solution.

Good luck with those who are with you on this baba.

You get it know baba.

#NoTo2x2Fascia

EgunMogaji:
I know the construction name but what era is it from?

I'll research and report back. If anyone cares

I think we've beat that steel stud to death already, let's move on to another e-argument topic, I have 3 hours to kill.

gabbytabby:
Oga brabus what a lot of croc I say. You still attach 2 by 2 to the lower fascia board anyway and provided they still machine cut the aluminium there is no difference both aesthetics and functionality. All the shops were for the most part done in this way. Just a little harder to fit the aluminium and for story buildings I no want too much moaning from the fitters or worst them requesting for more money.

Honestly, I'll try to understand the 2x2 fascia when I dedicate my life to ultimate re search or when there's a mission call.

For now, I'll stick to my guns.

EgunMogaji:
I can't figure out this style. I think it's Craftsman style.

I love the no fascia board look.

That's exposed beam ceiling. Still possible but with a very creative carpenter and more importantly is the need for an eave angle or uPVC gutters at the edge of the roofing sheet.

EgunMogaji:
Honest money orule.

No allegations, none

FDisk = no recovery

Someone pls call 911. Someone's dinner is coming too late.
