Watch out for more

Bankyshinani:
I am noticing it from internal walls cos the outside walls are tiled

That is external/ internal work rain needs to stop for main time before the work can be carried out successfully not because of anything, but it will delay the work since everywhere is almost wet or flooded this days
But inspection can be done now if time permits

Bankyshinani:
Okay.... can it be worked on during this raining period or after rain?

It depends on the area/part of the building.
If it’s external it’s better to allow the rain to stop for main time before work can commence

Bankyshinani:
Good morning bosses in the house...
Please how can I treat this damp walls in my house?

Physical site inspection is needed to know the exact type of dampness here ( risen dampness or normal dampness ) and the exact method to adopt to cure it 80-90pec permanently

Tochex101:
Engineer Rotecch77 posted about a solution some pages back.
Maybe he can share pictures or give details.....

Thanks for the mentioned
The issue about dampness and risen dampness is very severe and if adequate measures is not taken it can result to serious damage to your building.
Boldly saying its curable 80-90pec if a personnel that knows about building maintenance handle the work
.
I have done more than 10 in the last 3yrs only.
The issue is you need to study the problem very well and know the better approach to adopt .
some building will have both normal dampness and risen dampness combine together at the same time just like the one I did for a nairalander in Ibadan just 6months ago.
And you need to treat both with diff approach that match’s each problem.

As i posted in some pages back we have like 4-5 solution to this effects
- introducing of engineering block
-injecting of sealiconate sealant solution
-cathode and anode method
- repair leaks
-introducing of DPC or DPM
And many more

If wrong solution applied the case will be like that of HIV patient
But if proper method used the case will be like that of malaria patient

Let’s discuss about tiling of building.
What to take note before you tile your building
1. Area or space to be tiled; interior/ exterior area(kitchen, rooms, etc
2.choice of tiles ; colour/ design
3 size : 300mmx 300mm, 450mmx450mm etc
4. Types ; Vitrified, ceramic, porcelain
5. Cost
6, installation
7. Maintenance; problem, causes and solution

These are what I will discuss about soon
Watch out

Uniquewise:
I came here for advice and recommendation.

I need someone who has a civil engineering background, who can construct a small commercial kitchen from a small foundation up, with strong attention to details.
From the foundation to the block work, flooring and tiling, plumbing (with attention to waste drainage), ventilation, ceiling and roofing of the structure.

I will be using alucobond finishing, so my preferred person must also be able to coordinate this. Someone with a strong project managerial skills, who can supervise the work from start to finish.

Please, I would like to get the recommendations of the gurus here so I don't fall into wrong hands.

The project is in Lagos.

Thank you very much


@ EgunMogaji2

uncleteeh:
Another thing I've learnt about POP.

Most times, it's the one that is under the decking that falls.

Why?

The binding wire used to hold them would have gotten rust and this binding wires rust due to exposure of the concrete to rain before covering.

Therefore: the usage of non rusty material is the best for suspension of POP.

You are right
In maintenance practice when pop collapsed and found out that the BINDING WIRE got rusted the root causes is usually long-term moisture ingress combined with the use of non-galvanized binding wire..

EgunMogaji2:
Greetings.

Is there any maintenance one has to do with POP?

I'm going to use gypsum board on my current project, is that better?

Thanks.

Longest time baba
To the question sir
Let’s have this popular saying in mind 1st “ prevention is better than cure” that is the reason we needs to make sure we get good workmanship from beginning for any work , this will reduce stress and high cost during maintenance correction throughout the life span of the building,

To answer the question straight, now let’s take 2 out of 4 methods as best solution to the maintenance of pop ceiling
1. Predictive method
2. Preventive method
Things to checks are as follows
1. Regular checking of cracks,
2, water stain on the pop
3. Avoid overloading of the pop by hanging to much load on it
4. Check for sagging
5 6-8 months checking on deflection
6, structural checking on roof members or under the slab.
7. Also check for pop dampness Incase there is leakage from plumbing pipes or roof leakage.

Etc
Once you adopted any of these maintenance methods and take the listed checking steps as priority then you are fine

Dreamchaser212:
Omo una dey muzz me oooo.... Just by watching video you have concluded it is poor workmanship ..you weren't there when the client/engr was negotiating with the pop artisan..

It might be the materials or not enough decking hooks to hold the pop firm.

“Poor workmanship in building construction can result from several factors, including
- lack of skilled labor
- poor supervision
-poor training
- lack of communication
- Rushing to get work done fast
-insufficient tools/ equipment
-use of substandard materials
-Lack or quality control
-ignoring specifications and standards
Etc

The effects was what happened there.
The client will definitely get furious with the result
Hope you get it clear now

More effects of Poor Workmanship
* Structural defects and failures
* Increased maintenance costs
* Reduced building lifespan
* Safety hazards to occupants
* Delays and cost overruns

Thanks

Maintenance is very essential to make your building stand the test of time, try to adopt one method today from these
-predictive method
-preventive method
-corrective method
Don’t wait for the last stage before you take action .. “ “break down/ wear off” stage it’s dangerous to your building

diordaves:
Then it is poor workmanship. Maybe the hooks were introduced after decking and not done properly. Best practice is to introduce the hooks during decking where the hooks are tied to the decking rods by the iron bender. Just drilling the decking here and there and just shooking the hooks inside the holes no go work long term.

Yes based on the video watched, it’s poor workmanship.

Look at this video that is trending on line about pop ceiling that fell off while partying
It’s parts of factors that induces maintenance
Here it’s either of these
*Poor design
*bad workmanship
* selection of materials/ inferior materials
More will still occur if we don’t take maintenance as priority

Maintenance is essential to the life of building maintenance becomes necessary due to the following factors:

1. Ageing and Deterioration – Building components wear out over time because of continuous use and exposure to environmental conditions.
2. Weather Effects – Rain, sunlight, wind, humidity, and temperature changes can cause cracks, corrosion, fading, and other forms of damage.
3. Poor Workmanship – Defective construction practices may lead to early failures that require maintenance.
4. Inferior Materials – Use of low-quality materials can result in rapid deterioration and frequent repairs.
5. Mechanical and Electrical Failures – Breakdowns of equipment such as lifts, generators, plumbing, and electrical installations necessitate maintenance.
5. Poor design
6. Biological agent
7. Environmental pollution
Etc

Let’s take materials for example ; if you noticed that your workmen, builder, Engr, contractor is not capable of giving you best materials it’s better you follow up with the purchase, so that what happened in 1890 will not repeat itself again.
Its your building

Did you know that their is a document we called “ maintenance manual”
It’s essential for both residential and commercial buildings maintenance services.

A Maintenance Manual ;is a document that provides detailed instructions and procedures for the operation, inspection, servicing, repair, and maintenance of a building and its components to ensure they remain safe, functional, and durable throughout their life span.

If you can’t prepare one for your residential building do prepare one for your commercial building

Here are some merits of it
* Extends the lifespan of building components.
* Reduces maintenance costs.
* Ensures safety of occupants.
* Helps maintain the building’s value.
* Provides guidance for facility managers and maintenance personnel.

Ogborokiri:
Please how can I solve damp issue on my sitting room I have tried to use raw cement after 2 month the wall started pealing off again please I need help

We have lasting solution to this, DIY system can’t solve the problem.

This is part of major building / facility maintenance I posted here about 3 days ago, to maintain your building to serve its purpose and stand the test of time you need to adopt one of these methods preventive, predictive, corrective maintenance don’t wait until it’s break down

Did you know that as part of contract documents of NATIONAL BUILDING CODE a registered builder provides
* construction program
* project quality management plan
* project health and safety plan
All these is to aid the construction work smother, faster, minimize loss of property, to make appropriate decisions, time management, resources management, periodic report and many more

As a builder; we are ready to handle your building construction and maintenance

Don’t wait till your building/ structure and facilities breaks down.
Try one of these maintenance method today

* predictive method
* preventive. Method
* corrective method
Don’t wait till break down stage, it’s dangerous for your building
It’s just a pity that we like corrective method of maintenance in Nigeria and this need a lot of money , time to achieve and the life span of the building will definitely reduced.

If your building is just a bungalow vote little amount of money on major part of the building and facility such as plumbing area, electrical switch and sockets, kitchen and sitting room section, dampness walls. and roofing as PREVENTIVE METHOD
