Those Iron benders too are very good, experience gannered for so many years cannot be toyed with.
I have one here in Ibadan, I knew him through my bigger boss.
I respect him a lot.

My Iron Bender is also a Welder.

I trust him to do structural stuff in the absence of structural engineering requirements.

Very correct. I wanted to ask the difference between a Welder and an Iron bender. My Structural Engineer goofed big time when I was building as I wasn't around when the building started up to decking level.

It was when we were about to do the decking that I called a seasoned iron bender, with a lot of construction experiences under his belt, to do the iron works for me. On getting to my site, because of some structural defects he saw, he advised places that we needed to put hidden beams, open beams and other reinforcement amendments to support the integrity of the building in certain places of the decking that were not in the structural plan as the building is a lengthy one.

My "COREN" registered structural Engineer agreed with him completely. That was how the building was saved. Since then, I had relied on the iron bender for certain things pertaining to the building.


So you're saying the goofing of the COREN Structural Engineer started from the structural detailing in the design on paper and probably he is same person building the structure and since he brought his own iron bender the errors cannot be seen till you were around and corrections were made by the new iron bender............

Concerning structural engineers and iron benders

Not all failures in design leads to Ultimate Failure (collapse), we also have what we call serviceability failure ( cracks, creeps , deflection etc).
Even if you must wrongly trust your iron bender's experience to keep the ultimate failure in check( which may be catastrophic) does he know anything as touching serviceability failure and how to put it in check?

Now if you must engage a structural engineer, Engage a seasoned one because most softwares had made many persons including "architects" structural engineers, and boundaries are trespassed at will.

It is honestly difficult for a professionally designed structural drawing to be altered by an iron bender because of the rigour a well analysed structural design passes. Now let me paint the picture for you, a structural engineer designs his structure in whatever software he likes,(most atimes redesign manually for some critical members to make sure everything is well done, he then sends his model to another software to do analysis, then send to another software for detailing, after all this design phase, it will be checked by another coren satisfied structural engineer to append his stamp and seal, then vetted by another coren engineer for approval. If this sequence is followed properly, it's an insult to have an iron bender alter the design.

Please, Never allow your iron bender or welder give you a structural advise, they rely solely on experience (your beam/column must not span pass 6m sad) and experience has little or no place in stability of a structure, because no two structures behaves the same way, each structure should be taken with a specific approach

I was consulted to effect some corrections on this...........
But what would you say about this though what was originally done by the purported engineer who handled the project was 7200 c/c on tape when I measured at the site and the beam connecting to the main structure was actually done sitting on a block rather than on the columns.... grin grin

if I understand correctly, this is a commercial build not a private home right. .


So what you want isn't the priority here but what the occupants will like. Having said that, your house I believe already has its measurements

General environmental comfort is the priority, I won't sacrifice ventilation space for door space, universal accepted standard door is good enough for my build.

I salute you Sir. I just hate when people write from a position of “them say them say”.

Lots of possibilities if people will just open there minds.
Not only minds wallet as well, there are good Nigeria doors that cost millions both wooden and security doors as well, parnel doors all manufactured right here in Nigeria. People go for what they can afford. If you have a deep pocket a single wooden door that cost 1.4m to 2m is made and available here in Nigeria.
