Just like the way water damaged the sheetrock in the video.. we also had water damaging the plasterboard here..

We have tried a solution and within the next 2 weeks, I'll be sure if it works or not.

After watching this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwn0Vjw_ji0

and also this other video, I perfectly understood why we have those problems with houses in Nigeria


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKp0wRzvR-g

This time around, unlike the last time that I worked with the walls above the ground, this time around, I am excavating the foundation of the house and rebuilding it.

I am just stopping short of bringing down the whole house.

I am pained that a trained engineer NSE product was arguing with me with the concept of providing a 6 inch gravel base before laying the DPC and then pouring the concrete slab on top of it, after everything I read, not only am I laying the concrete on top of the DPC, I am ordering insulation from Vitapur.

The Professor from Minnesota made it clear that you must do everything to ensure that your concrete slab never makes contact with water and that includes creating that gravel barrier.

Meanwhile this engineer was telling me that the practice is to make a bed of sand and then tile the house, my plan was to create a granite base, then place DPC, then pour the new concrete floor on top of the DPC, which plan has now been amended to include two layers of insulation and and two layers of DPC.

I am also building another barrier before the outer walls of the foundation and ensuring that I include something in between the new foundation protection walls and the proper house foundation to act as an air and vapor barrier.

Sorry for security reasons no pictures, I will provide heavily sanitized pictures later on.

If the said land is meant for residential purpose, then I'd advice you go for electric fence, if it's farm land or other purposes, id ask you to go for barb wire sir.

No one is trying to pull you down bro. They're simply asking you to advertise with your own previous works or acknowledge the man whose job you're positing as yours. At least, he was magnanimous enough to have asked you to simply give credit to him, not to take down the post. Goodluck in your hustle bro. Accept my highest regards.

So I am remodeling an old house, and as I always do, I research the issue very deeply.

Found this, hope it helps someone given the hues and cries about damp wall, mold etc due to bad building practices locally.

Thanks for this video✓

A few things I learned.

It does not and cannot cost a fortune to build a house that doesn't have water affecting the floor or the walls.

If you loved that video, then you will appreciate this one too.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUdRGZm8zo4

You will spend a bit more, but most of those who give contractors buildings to build can afford these additions.

The fault lies with the contractors refusing or neglecting to do R&grin to improve building practices as it is done elsewhere.

The fault might also lie with those who give out the contractors in not reading up or hiring other consultants to help them determine if their contractor is doing the right thing.

The fault might also lie in depending on our building codes alone for guidance instead of copying best practices from elsewhere - by that I mean, meeting the standards of our building codes, but exceeding them in the interest of the client and their own professional integrity.

That said there are houses being built in Nigeria, and I have been to a few that do not have problems with water and mold - not the house and not the fence. There must be something different that those guys are doing that ensures that never happens.

I think most of these practices in the Video posted are mostly adopted in commercial builds in which water rising up has been considered from the beginning.

For some it is an after thought when the problem has already set in. it is not a usual practice to put this many preventive layers. The mould/damp shows up years after building is complete when builder has left, owner has sold the building.

Currently have a project in Abuja . A penthouse with 3 rooms down and 2 on the first floor. One sitting room down and a smaller one up. Currently doing the foundation to dpc level. Asked the Engr to give me an estimate for what it'll cost to take it from dpc level to just b4 decking and he sent this. How fair is this pls. This is my first project though.

I asked for this because I was considering doing the one bedroom at the back of this immediately after they finish the ongoing work to dpc level so I can stay in this one bedroom and finish the main building overtime.
