Quarry waste is top soil. Rubbles are from demolished building.

Use sharp sand.

Sharp sand can easily be washed away by rain. I'm using rubble to fill craters and sharp sand won't do the job.

The bolded are artisans. Even artisans are registered by COREN in their own category.

Have you heard of CORBON (Council of Registered Builders of Nigeria), a building contractor should be a member.

What i mean by builder is a person who studied a professional course that carries building as a core eg Building Technology.

These set of people are trained building contractors not the type we have all over Nigeria.

The construction industry in Nigeria is not regulated that is why we have every type of people claiming to be contractors. I once worked as a Civil engr in a property development company where the entire management had no single building related professional. I have a friend who is a so called contractor but is actually an electrical engineer. This guy built a plaza belonging to his brother in Abj recently. All he needs is a Civil engr who will sign an undertaking for the project and he can do anything he wishes while in the event of a collapse, he walks away blameless.

In Abuja, you will need much more than just an undertaken letter. I have worked on a number of jobs in Abuja, your site will be visited at every structural stage of the job, namely, at the foundation stage after the arrangement of your rebar before placement of concrete. At the decking/suspended slab stage after the completion of slab-beam reinforcement work before casting.

Abuja has the best developmental control unit in Nigeria and the quality work done is much better sue to this. A lot still needs to be done in this area to really sanitized the building construction industry

Trust me, depending on the tactfulness the builder dishes out. This guy is good at manipulating people. He changed the site plan, changed the offsets, added more shops etc with no harassment whatsoever. This guy befriended a female staff in development control just for the purpose of getting through to them, she did everything for him while he spends less money putting them off his back.
