Forget these tales baba, the economy is the reason he is not working right now. In fact, the best thing you can do for him is to either find him another job or, if you can, hire him. As of right now, no one is building—I reiterate—no ongoing project of this nature. These are difficult times for all architects and civil engineers. Emilakan has wrecked the economy, but under Buhari, things were going so well that people were building everywhere. In fact, almost all of the young people in my family moved into their first homes within six months. However, because of inflation, people's main concern these days is their stomachs, and things will only get worse. Kindly instruct him to put away his shovels and headpans and find another task to do.

You’re so much on point! The era of GCs is fast fading now. More smart homeowners are working with subcontractors and tradespeople in order to cut down their Construction costs.

It makes more sense to go for experienced construction managers who charge per visits instead of hiring general contractors when working on small builds like duplexes, bungalows and other small projects.

What’s the role of a GC in fixing an Italian kitchen?

All I see here are unfounded fears bro. Next thing we'll hear is that we shouldn't have PVC ceilings, wooden furnitures, clothes, curtains, gas cookers or even electricity in our homes. Forget whatever you've read on Google, polystyrene isn't as flammable as you guys portray it to be. Ceiling that is up there, 3 meters or so away from any naked fire from your cooker, will now suddenly catch fire or melt away and the shirt you wear or your hair never first catch fire Haba

There are so many more things that can cause or spread fire in your home. The key thing is just to adhere to building codes and fire safety regulations. Dazzol

What if he's right?

This is not a matter of if, it is a matter of what happens when there's fire outbreak. Regardless of the justifications, polystyrene/Styrofoam are flammable materials!

It is important for homeowners to calibrate safety and security measures in their buildings according to threat and risk level.
