Engineers in the house, please I need clarification on the picture below, I have about four columns with this kind of adjustments and my engineer told me it's to correct an error and there is nothing to worry about.

Should I be worried and is this right?

The steel structure has been jeopardized and has failed it's purpose. The building completely depend on the load being transmitted to the columns.

However, I suggest he should introduce a new pillar and basket on the concrete cast column base. (No further digging)

OR, bend another bar ( legs) for reinforcement and on each bars of the column and also use dpc beam to chain up the affected columns.

It's a mistake and can happen to anyone, it's better corrected now.

Nevertheless, One good thing about construction is that it's construction.

Thanks

Good day house, pls which one come first between PVC ceiling installation or wall plastering?
my Carpenter advice that we should install ceiling before plaster, but i always seen people plaster b4 ceiling
cc: rotecch77

Adedward:
no Oga, always know that when u do ur p vc before plaster, it will gives u 100% strong than after, l have esperience a lot, when u do after plaster, there are some laps u will see in between wall and the clisp, which insect can penetrate from ceiling to inside room, and if u want to make the clips to closed to the wall den the clips will not straight , so there fore the best is to do it. before plaster,

rotecch77:



You get a point there, but when some building guru talk here you need to ponder with there reasoning.
When we are talking about building construction and maintenance handle by professionals such GAP you mention will not show.
1. They will maintain a straight wall from point A to B
. with this no gap will show.

2.They will think of the maintenance of such building.( because when you plaster part of the clips to the wall when time for maintenance comes up don't you think they chisel the plaster away before they can carry out good repair to the affected PVC CEILING.

Adedward:
OK o, when u are talking about apply silicon, yes correct sir, to the unlaps

Oga it’s not the showing that is the problem and you are correct they will not show big gaps but small enough for little insects to get through from the root at least more than if you plaster afterwards.

No matter how good they are there are little wall breakages here and there.

What might be a no no for ceiling installation prior to plaster is if you do not forsee completing the house within 6 months of ceiling installation. You might then plaster, do the ceiling later and then get the plasterer back to clean up the edges or use silicon as suggested by someone
