We actually used 8 bars of 20mm to prepare the columns used in the cut and join project 😂

For best result, go and apply directly at the DGs office in Alausa if you don’t want to get Isale Eko printed Safety Board.

Your architect, builder, engr needs to visit your site before any work can be Carried out on your site, that is the best practice.

Concerning the safety commission guys you talked about it’s there duties to make sure your site is safe for construction so you need document for that ..it’s around 200-250k
I normally don’t like chooking mouth to wetin no concern me but this might help some people building in Lagos.

Apart from the safety documentation and certification fee, you need to apply and provide the following information with your approved drawings.

This is a leveling instrument. I thought they where only use for massive projects? Are u planning to use it for taking d level for this small foundation? Why not use the traditional method? 😁
Baba, there are no small projects. It’s just a pity the way Naija dey run things.

So it seems but once we move in, I’ll drop shots from the project.

One thing I don’t do is make things up! Neither do I do internet validation.

I just do my stuff and everyone is free to believe whatever they want but what I know is you can’t cook up an 8.5m beam 😂

Some building projects were abandoned till today bcs of site investigations, all was just on paper then boom work start on site …so site investigation” is paramount in anything construction.

We are here battling with our excavation..
N3xt don’t ask me if I have another Levelling instrument oo. It s good to have tools and instruments.
Nice toys! Having good tools and equipments handy makes a whole lot of difference.


I got a mini dumper in my upcoming project and a small concrete batching plant is being considered.

I checked out the hoist/gantry on Sunday. We will be working on 17 units of multi-floor buildings.

Guy..calm down..both of you have valid point


I am taking from even recent experience
I can relate. I saw it in one of your post 😂 where you said you have never use 4 bars to carry two floors.

Interestingly, that would work in the structural analysis BUT what I know is that the 4 bars of 1980 is different from the 4 bars of 2023.

Unfortunately, we live in a world where people jump into conclusion without getting their facts right.
Properties › Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by n3xt(m):
Aforxzy raised a valid concern yesterday but like she always do. She went awol without getting the perspective of the other side.

Have a look at the picture below.

The point where I had the caution tapes was where we were supposed to have a column in our proposed structural drawings.

While carrying out our preliminary site survey, I raised a concern that we cannot have a column at that point (not for aesthetics but safety concern).

So we redesigned the structure to have a cantilevered beam and we move to site.

During construction, I’ve personally witnessed cars hitting the scaffold at that point and we had to put caution tapes on it to alert people driving around the site premises.

As a good manager, you don’t have to wait for it to happen to understand how to prevent occurrences in your sites.


One of the thing that has helped me so far in construction is the way we learnt project management and the person who taught me.

The only things we discuss in meetings are dependencies, deliverables and challenges and we are always ready to learn from others.

Ok... I rest my case so it doesn't look like a personal something..

Make i jejely respect your POV.
I have a project in Adeniji Jones, can you specify the type of foundation it’d require without a preliminary site investigation/survey??

Once again, you can’t know what’s feasible until you visit the site.

I rest!

Really?
I don't want to make it personal.

But again (with due respect) - you start from paper (pc) to determine what's feasible.

That's why you have the following.

1. Building plan
2. Structural designs
3. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (in capital)
4. Safety report if applicable
5. Building Estimate (BOQ)

AND MANY MORE - ALL ON PAPER.

You can't afford to get to site b4 knowing what's feasible - by then a lot would have been wasted and life probably lost.

Imagine building your 61.1m beam on site BEFORE the structural design on paper.

If you still don't get my point - I can't help you. huh

You should know better bro!

If you’re working on any project, you must always build to site specific conditions.

How many of our gen z architects visit site before they come up with their beautiful 3Dshuh 😂

Someone can tell me, he’d do POP ceiling of 92sqm for me at 8,500/sqm.

It’s until he get to site he’d know whether the 8500/sqm can deliver the same job in a building with 6.2m headroom 🌚

I get your drift after the last post.

Here’s my POV, it’s only when you get to site you can know what’s feasible.

Everything always look great on paper.

A project that has 16.1m beam that’s standing for 2 decades won’t treat a 6.2m beam as an afterthought.

We were deliberate and intentional on all that was carried out on the project.

Aforxzy:
@the bolded.
Removing a column has an after thoughts on site during the construction stage could be very dangerous cos the structural design and load distribution of the structure has already been done. It is advisable if there is a need to eliminate any structural element there should first be a review and checks with the structural engineer to be sure the structure is safe against deflection and can be adequately supported by the remaining members otherwise a redesigned might be necessary.

Safety first.
Column wasn’t removed as an afterthought. It was removed on paper before we moved to site.

Fair enough for the Roof since the loggings is not there , also if you need an Engineer ,also we do supply of wood logs on payment on delivery chat 08099212590
Good morning bro! Trust your weekend was eventful?

I want to know how you arrive at the conclusion that the quantities are fair without seeing the roof plan.

Even if the footprint of the house is just (which is quite small for a modest 3 bedroom bungalow), I doubt the quantity of the wall plates (2 by 6) will be enough except he’s planning to use 2 by 4 as wall plates or probably I’m missing something.

Today Sunday yes you came to my sis street and we could not carry out the transaction. Like I did on phone i apologized to you for your coming from far and getting disappointed and to make it up to you I will either reduce the amount for your transport loss and time wasted or waybill it to you( as you demanded I do with my money).

I was also very disappointed and I felt really bad that my little sis failed to pick her phone. It happens that she is selling becos she just moved into the apartment which happens to be smaller than her previous apartment. Everything you see there are newly bought and if not for the small space she won't sell.

So yesterday you called that you would be coming to pick the ac in which I informed her. As at this morning I still sent her a message on WhatsApp that we will be coming for pickup, hoping she will be on standby or drop key to her apartment somewhere.

This morning you called that you will be on your way, of which I was at my own home and my plan was wen you arrive I will just take the nearest bus and catch-up with you call my sis and transaction completed.

Wen you arrived her street, I took my leave from my house to get to where you are, while calling her, she was not picking, I called 23 missed calls but being that she is a chorister who happens to be ministering today , she didn't pick my calls. When she finally picked my call, she said she will be 30mins late, she explained the condition of church activities, after I criticized her, she said she will take Uber to take her faster home , I told her not to bother as the buyer is already pissed and as left.

Apologies once again. People know me here I sells properties, cars and help people that are travelling abroad sell there stuff. In record you will be my first disappointed client. It happens.
You have really done well!

Well done. 🙏
