Oboy see class dey go on here ooo.

As for me I will work everywhere ooo. Each of my site has a supervisor designated and is been paid properly. Trained and has been working for me for long. I basically don't appear in some of my sites for weeks. But my guys already know what to do. All I need is to draw out what is required and they deliver. It took me a long time to get to this but from the begining it's what I have been aiming for. I want to be able to travel overseas in future for 5 months and not worry about whether the SkiManSki legacy is still ongoing. So if I don't force my self to do it now, will never get there. Do you think the bosses in Cappa and other big construction firms visits all their sites? The answer is no. So how do we get there if we are scarred of projects. I only feel it's because some people do not want to engage the services of competent professionals and logistic officers. They want all the project profit to come to them, that's why they want to manage their projects little by little. To me that's dreaming small and not dreaming big.

First thing first. Engrave your ideology into your workers. Create a chain of command. And leave the rest to them. It's not easy I must say, but when you get there is worth it. Because all I do these days is hold my camera like photographer and just patrol around. And also travel around too. Yes for sure when I see any shoddy jobs which is inevitable I repair it and count my losses there, also scold the workers so that they learn. But one things is surpose to be for sure, I must pay them well, because money is the motivation any Nigerian needs.

P291:
Mr Skimanski Sir, the staircase if possible should be reconstructed. No structural supports for the half landing and flights just block walls.

Something is wrong with the height of this building.
It Doesn't Require a Structural Support for the Non-Landing as its reinforced connection between the German Floor DPC and First Floor Slab can carry the Flight of stairs.

What I agree with you on is the Height of the Building. It is terrible. I wander why they didn't just add one Coach of Brick Works. It means we will have to work hard to ensure that our finishing is top notch so as to cover-up the issue of height in this Building. For all the Flaws of Lekki Gardens Estate, I still commend them for not building Short Houses.

This Thread has been created for the Sole Purpose of Educating our Followers and The Nairaland Public in General how Achieve the Most Difficult and Demanding tax of all Architectural Programs "(Renovation)". If you go Through our other threads you'll notice we have been on renovation works for some time, but feel we have to document our renovation programs from now on.

This will be Starting from "LEKKI COUNTY HOMES". Built by Mega Monds Construction Limited. This 4 Bedroom Duplex plus Service Quarters have been Poorly finished and the Client, (a Guy with High Taste and an Eye for Good things, who will stop at nothing to get what he wants) has taxed us with the Job of Turning this into a Dream Home. So off we go.
