Ok Will be appreciated

But gone past the major concrete work , which was a 1700sqm over the basement parking , the rest Na moi moi

It’s good to talk to them sir because of future developments. cool

Development no dey finish grin grin (Akala way still dey there)

Lafarge love supporting upscale developments and they do better than every other competitor in this area. I’m sure Engr Bayo is aware of this.

The reason we often don’t explore this option is we often times assume the procedure is complex and might be fraught with logistic issues.

Most multi-floor projects in Nigeria uses Lafarge ReadyMix and maybe a few other companies in the readymix concrete business.

Good speed!

I can see they’re already at the 2nd floor.

Hi, is it normal for the stab not to supply the building when the input volt drops to a certain level? I haven't got the true picture as the person that was at home when it happened didn't take note of the input voltage at that time. Otherwise, it's been working fine

I think changing our addiction to concrete will allow us to build more environmentally sustainable homes. I have some Timber decked home designs that I'm currently working on.
Something like a composite of concrete beams, timber joists, and decking wood.
The problem we currently have with the use of timber as a structural material is strength classification.

My boss, my boss. I hail o!


So you too agree we need to #EndNORM grin grin #EndOverRelianceOnConcrete

Maybe coming from someone like you will help some of us make a rethink.

I’m just having a feel of the stabilizer today since it was installed on Tuesday and I noticed the stabilizer stop supplying when its overloaded.

Now this is one reason I’m not so quick to attack people online. I always listen to understand and not to respond.

You’re actually talking about doing ornamentals (which is widely called POP here too) before plastering and not gypsum POP ceiling like we assume.

Pls endeavor to share image depicting what you’re explaining next time.

I’m having a wonderful time assimilating myself into the chaos. Very thankful for the opportunities afforded to me by the USA and Nigeria.

I’m blessed that I’m retired but still doing commerce to keep in shape.

I continuously salute you guys that are getting things done in Nigeria. It’s a harsh and unforgiving operating environment. Every single business owner ought to be given a GCFR grin

Well, you can’t give what you don’t have though.

Baba, your boy dey oh.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. We need to research and work with cheaper building materials. The thing is we must continue to look for cost-effective ways to build houses as the income of the average Nigerian continues to dwindle.
We must build with bamboo, wood, clay and any structural materials we can lay our hands-on.

I don't think it's the work of the standard organization to test and develop a comprehensive design code for timbers structure. It's the work of our institution to research these materials. In the meantime, we'll continue to work with BS codes and other in situ tests we can carry out.

I'm also in love with your innovative ways of building houses. Keep it up bro.
