The engineer actually recommended it, but we felt since he was still going to do that at the decking level there was no need at the lintel level.

But he is recommending that we remove all of the lintel and connect the iron beams.

Also saying we pull down the very obvious cracked walls



There was German floor. The German floor was done before proceeding to do this.



We meet the foundation there and just did some bit of correction, German floor and built.
It's been there for over 1 year.. We were just trying to raise money for the decking. For the quality of blocks, we were told it was strong. There are pillars in between long spans too.



Thank you sirs for your input.
I would say anchor all dividing walls horizontally, that's is across so they don't pull apart, chisel the edges of the lintel and connect with 4 physical bars and pour fresh concrete mix on it,(Rich ), Do This at least a eek B4 pouring the net floor.

Please help criticize this plan from my Architect 4bedroom pent house
Fine design you got there, the land seems to be a narrow one.
Well, here are few stuffs I noticed.


1. Too many doors (this may lead to excessive spending)
2. The master bedroom's windows should be cross ventilated (inflow and outflow of air), the master bedroom will need more wardrobe.
3. For flexibility, the wall between the dining and the staircase can be eradicated. A fantastic opening can be done. (The passage looks so confined)
4. Have a service opening btw the dining and the kitchen, or change the location of the dining's door to open straight to the kitchen.

Good morning engineers and builders

My house is at the roofing stage it's a flat roof design...Was told told flat roofs are prone to leakage.

Pls help me with precautions I need to take to prevent the leakage.
Thank you all
Flat roof is meant to be slabed, you just need to apply bitumen felt or coal tar on it, that prevents passage of water into the slab.

Please what can cause this kind crack in the building.


This is sad.
I keep on telling people, involve professionals only in your building construction.
Secondly, build right, don't cut corners.

I'm not sure the foundation of this structure is solid, it must have shifted or sunk.

Soil type too is a major factor to consider when building, some soils will seem strong in dry season but becomes something else when enough water wets it.

from the discussion so far.. Seem the last reason is the issue.

The engineer says there was settlement in the are due to continuous rainfall in the area.

Please who has bought polystyrene ceiling boards recently?

What is the going rate?

Just want to be sure if the rate I am being offered is reasonable.

In other news to contribute to the conversation on the price of cement, I was told the price is now 4,700.00 in Abuja today

This issue is still a bit vague. Your accusation of poor dealings is likely to affect this man's business. At the very least please explain what happened during your dealing with him to guide prospective clients on here. We have seen many posts here from people with legitimate grievances against some vendors/clients and most people now know who to avoid. However, vague accusations do not help anyone and damage can be irreversible. Just my position.

State the Loss you are talking about here nah!!


That I didn't deliver your Job or what??


Stop beating around the Bush!!

Tell everyone what Happened or are you ashamed of saying it?






It's obvious you have no iota of shame
That am ashamed you left a job since November after complete payment and refused to complete it till March that I told you not to come again after I got tired of your several Excuses.

Or that am ashamed you are in possession of an item given to you incase of emergency
And you don't feel remorseful about returning it back

Anyway I will keep reminding your prospective customer in here to Trade with CAUTION when dealing with you

It is my fault that Your Tiler, Carpenter and Bricklayer did a Bad job on the Door Frames?

A liar will always find somtin to justify his lies...
You deliver the doors very late at night
Because your truck was faulty
You fixed just 1 door
It was late already and
Just because 1 frame wasn't fixed correctly
You decide to postpone the installation
I had to giv u a jump-start cable incase of emergency when you are driving home...that night you left was the last time I ever saw you after paying you for the doors,installation and transportation

After several excuses your nxt excuse was FRAME WAS bad...I had to point it on chat that why will I be calling u if frame were bad

January 31st I clearly told you the frame has been fixed....

DID YOU SHOW UP?....NO
Your nxt excuse was you don't have cash for transport

If you like work for dangote or Tinubu
Am not wishing you Bad


But just stop lieing and accept you didn't complete your job
