Hello house, please I have an existing land that already has 4 flats with occupants. and now I want to build a 3 bedroom bungalow on the remaining plot on the land, please do I need to do another survey and get approval? Thanks in advance. |

Obatity: No need for another survey plan but you will need a building design plan. As per the approval, where is the land located? |

Johnadelaide00: The crack is from top to bottom. You need to show more of the picture, at the top so we can really see the cause. From the little l can see: - it is a structural problem, most likely caused by the weight of whatever is on that side of the block wall (may be a slab or decking?) That Wall cant carry the weight on it. Possible suggestion is to: 1) Break the wall along the line of the crack and intorduce a vertical Column. Let it be wide say like Nine inches by six inches (if the block is 6", otherwise make it 9" x 9". 2) After the Column is dry, introduce a horizontal beam on the wall, in-between whatever is ontop of the wall and the wall itself. Fuse this beam's iron with the irons of the Column you did earlier) so they form one solid T-Structure to support the weight of whatever the wall is supporting now. That crack is not going to stop if you dont act quickly. Structural defects are dangerous and could cause building collapse. My 10kobo 3 Likes |

Johnadelaide00: Is the crack only here or on both sides of the wall? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Johnadelaide00: 3:46pm On Jun 14, 2019 |
Only this side. bixton: |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Johnadelaide00: 3:55pm On Jun 14, 2019 |
I was told its a result of differential settlement. A couple of this occurred before roofing and what they did was mending d crack and introducing a concrete beam over the block work The concrete beam was casted on all the external walls(ring) and the internal walls only where there was crack. Only for this to occur after roofing, plumbing, and plastering has been done Excuzeme: |

Mubby4luv: The answer you seek is very simple and you have done more than half of the work already. You still need to complete it when you choose a tile size you want. 300x300mm tiles are 15 in a carton and 1.5m² 400x400mm tiles are 12 in a carton and 1.92m² 600x600mm tiles are 4 in a carton and 1.44m² Etc A carton of tiles is at least 1m² and at most 2m². If for example you are using 400x400mm and using the same type for all bathrooms, total cartons is 14.4/1.92=7.5cartons Alternatively, you can use area of a single tile then find the number of pieces. 300x600 is 0.18m². 14.4/0.18=80pieces if a carton contains 8 pieces, 80/8= 10cartons 2 Likes |

Hello House, Please help me expose this scammer @chizagi to the whole world. He advertised as seller of original turkey door on NL and i patronise him by making an order to the tune of N614k. He showed me apples, i selected and paid for apples but he delivered mangoes to my site in Edo state after receipt of payment. Paid for [img]IMG-20190601-WA0063.jpg[/img] but he delivered [img]IMG-20190611_WA0002.jpg[/img]. He has abused this reputable platform to engage in criminal breach of trust, online ecommerce fraud and obtaining by false pretence. No one should patronize him or do online business with him. His transactions is totally devoid of integrity and reaks of fraud. I have done successful, honest and happy businesses with reputable and notable Nairalanders like @money121. Have attached evidence of our transaction here.[Deleted upon appeal on humanitarian ground] Cc:mufutau55

Oga mufutau55 I think you are seeing what is going on in this forum I know you are the moderator of this forum why must people use this forum to be advertising gambling and you can see @chizagi scammers to the members of this forum action should be taken against him because if nothing is done others will follow suit ,thanks |

Hum2020: I have been trying my best to moderate this thread against advertisemenr and scammers. But I cannot do it alone, it takes everyone using this thread to help me and come down heavy on those people. I used to have a full power of Moderator on this forum to delete post and sanction the abusers, but that power has been taken away when I was stripped of the Moderators priviledges. I hate to see sellers, contractors or any dubious person take advantage of this thread and forum to scam anyone. So, people let's join together and stop all the advertisers and scammers.

3him3n: Information on your transaction are few, you need to come up with more details. I dont doubt your transaction, however, we will like to see samples of your order and pictures of what was delivered. The two doors you posted, are they the sample pics or the delivered items? What exactly is the defects or difference. Apart from looking for a settlement, we will also learn from this experience which is the basis of this thread. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by diordaves(m): 3:02pm On Jun 15, 2019 |
3him3n: Sorry to hear this. To get a clearer picture of the situation, please post the pictures of your expectations - that is the characteristics of the doors you both agreed on and paid for and what was actually delivered. There's always the risk of supplies/contractors invoicing for top quality products and actually delivering cheaper versions of the products and then pocket the difference. It would help to hear from the supplier as well. 2 Likes |
