thank you so much for the response, my uncle actually said the same thing but this engineer is always doing this to us. Inflating everything and telling us it’s not easy to work from upper floor that if it is a bungalow it’s different case entirely. How much is good for the workmanship. I’m thinking of telling him 120 or max 130k

Pls I just registered this handle to avoid any form of backlash, here's my issue I graduated in 2015 and I've been doing several things to keep body and soul together. How ever, late this year I got a teaching job in my states Civil service. The pay is somewhere BTW 45 to 50k and my place of assignment is in a rural area. Pls also note that I do not have an education certificate which if I do not acquire soonest might cost me some years in promotions and maybe my job eventually . On the other hand, I would like to pursue and build my career in the discipline I studied in school (a technical inclined course)and also further my education here (masters degree) which might provide me with better job opportunities and my teaching job provides ample time for this . Well, the cause of my present dilemma is this - Recently, I got shortlisted for a job as a contract staff in a bank. I have just been deployed and I've been directed to resume within the week. The pay is around 85k per month plus other benefits. Right now, I am confused if I should stick with the govt teaching job or I should go for the contract bank work which initially is for a period of 1 year after which it might be renewed (dicey). Pls I need the advice of people who have been in my shoe or in it currently? Which do I go for? What do I do?
lala pls move to front page

Is structural drawings for bungalows necessary?
Structural drawings for bungalow is not required for building approval

Is the bold more essential than chain lintel?
Why is everyone always talking about chain lintel and none is talking about this roof beam

klark3:
Thanks so much
But as a professional which would u advice, doing short lintel and roof beam Or doing chain lintel without roof beam?
As i am yet to do it
Sorry for d too much questions

bixton:
**Because of over zealous engineers/builders/artisans once there's a crack on the wall they will attribute it to the impartial chaining of lintel.

** It reduces clients fear in circumstances when there is need to modify the structure(breaking of walls or recreating something else).

** The chaining of internal walls acts like an opposing force that balances that on the external walls when all are properly linked.

klark3:
Thanks for ur reply
So much appreciate
But what about the pillars like someone who quoted me stated. Can i terminate them at chain lintel level or the can be taken to roof level without the roof beam?

bixton:
There are several reasons for doing a roof beam but given cost cutting .............

Option 1....
Do chain lintel on external walls and on any major wall cutting the building if there is.
You can do short lintel on internal walls.


Option 2.....
Do chain lintel on all internal and external walls of the building.

N/B: Due to clips used in holding the wall plate onto the wall, please kindly inform your engineer/builder, carpenter to liaise with the iron bender to cut quarter rods(it has different thickness) of appropriate length to be fastened unto the lintel before you pour your concrete. Ensure the length cut is sufficient depending on number of blocks you intend putting after the lintel works.

Hoephase:
I don't think you put some thoughts in your statement.

Yes it is a school guided by rules and regulations. Does the regulations state that public shaming is the punishment for not dressing as prescribed in the school dress code?

Secondly, she looks like a teen this is a critical period in her developmental phase, I believe the school should have had a private talk with the mom and daughter, and let them understand that such is not acceptable.

While in the principle office she should be made to take it off and serve her punishment quietly.

Publicly humiliating her does nothing but exposes the school to law suits.

He should take his personal hygiene much more seriously like washing them much more regularly, and not once in two years.


One of the pictures indicates reaction to a soap or cream. If he changed to a new soap/cream recently, he should stop it as its too harsh and is burning the skin

Hezbola:
Please house I need advice on how best to devide this plot to get maximum use. I want to build a four bed room and nursery school in future.

diordaves:
The same with me, I've never paid for granite before delivery so I was kind of surprised in a number of ways when this came up. Surprised that clients pay for granite before delivery and super surprised that checkitaut is this indeciplined to be caught out in this mess. This has exposed him as a middle man he so much preached against. To be honest, there is nothing wrong being a middle man but be deciplined enough to deliver.

If he's a direct supplier, all the excuses he gave for messing up, his union would have sorted out such eventualities. In Delta and Edo States, Road Safety or Police don't disrupt logistics that much. The Union work this out.

It's a shame though because I'm planning on engaging him after the festive period next year for a factory construction project in Ibadan but I guess I now need to go back to the Board of Directors for a revised plan. It's sad. The diaspora should encourage deligent small business owners back home but when you read stuff like this, you just want to give up on the country.

Builders and professionals. Small 3 bedroom flat that I want to build. See the quotation that was given to me. Are the prices okay? Though, I will have to now explore other builders. I have been dealing solely with this particular guy because, he helped me in acquiring the land.

luvablesam:

Thanks

pansophist:
What exactly is his course of study that he cant do online even for free?

In this digital world, information and skill is power, not paper certificate. Even Google announced over a year ago that degrees are irrelevant but skills in their recruitment process. Part of my side job is writing, which earn me at least 800-1000 usd monthly via fiver and upwork, and I didnt have a degree in English, but by reading lots of academic documents and studying business english online.

He should save his 150,000k and start a business. I just wonder why Nigerians are still mentally chained with degrees. In fact my uni degree is in my wardrobe and I haven't seen it for years lol, my business brings in the money and I'm self employed.

MrHandsome2013:

Hello my great Engineers in the house, please I will like to be enlightened on the construction of a water tank stand over a septic tank. My engineer advised I build my tank stand on the septic / soak away tank we are about to construct. He said we will only need 4pcs of 16mm to reinforce the water tank stand pillar from inside the ground to the top(where d water tank will be placed). And 12mm rods will be used for other things like underground pillars, first chaining, second chaining and the slab.
Please is this best way to go about it?
God bless you as you drop your comments / advices.

rocktowerbuilde:
Generally, it's necessary to provide either a pad base or retaining wall base for vertical structural members of a septic tank. A column without a base is just strengthening the corner, it's not safely transferring load

Please, can anybody answer this for me.
