What seems to be the problem? @ chukzonwa

chukzonwa:


It hasn't been roofed. It exposed to rain
The building is supposed to be two storey building the first floor hasn't been decked yet. So the decking of the ground floor is exposed to rain
Pls can I get any solution @ mrsteel

Lol I believe before it explodes, if it will, I would have made my money. And if it doesn't, I would have made more [color=#770077][/color]

Lolllz! I've edited my signature I guess. You would have known better. Well my one cent advice.....hurry up and get your funds out. Save this date. Waawu is a bomb!

You have said it all....

Sorry to read about this. Don't wonder if artisans can't read or write. They can't. This is where the services of a tertiary educated/COREN trained engineer comes into play.

I will go for blocks, the old fashioned bricks and mortar. The plaster board option could be more expensive and less effective with the current state of affairs. Why?

If you took out the section of the wall to increase the room space, this is doable but you need to strengthen that same section to prevent the roof from caving in. I'm not sure if you did all round chaining, even if you did, the beam span of the taken out wall need to be looked by a structural engineer to confirm if it will support the roof. Block walls are not only for partitioning but do support the roof. So take out a wall, you create another problem.

Now you talked about plaster board partitioning as done in the UK/USA. For such scenario, you need to introduce a Rolling Steel Joint, that's is RSJ steel beam to support the roof first, then the stud partitioning, then sound proofing and then, finally the plaster board. See photos. The last photo is a finished living area, look properly at the ceiling, you would notice the hanging RSJ. That section of the wall was taken out to open up the living room for more space.

For your stud partitioning, you need 2×4 termites resistant treated hardwood. These don't come cheap in Nigeria. You also need the RSJ. By the time you factor in all these with the cost of expertise labour, you have made the remedy so complicated and expensive where a simple cheap brick and mortar will do just fine. It is a simple process of shifting the wall outward. Block work is a superior solution.

I will go for blocks partitioning anyday, anytime in Nigeria. It is cheap, fire resistant, sound proof and built to last with minimal maintenance.

I think you can get it at bathroom solutions. Send me a mail for further enquires.

If you want it exactly like this ,it needs to be fabricated
However we can get you something like this below [/quote]

@rbcnesit......before you consider using such materials, I think we should have an idea of the area which your building has been set up. First of all my apologies for the Artesians mess up. I think you should hire the services of professionals even to complete this work.
I for one love innovation, and what you say pleases my ears. But as a professional, a structural/Civil Engineer, I ask these questions
1- which area is your site located in
2- Is the site free from termites and ants( are u 100% sure of this).
3- Are you sure your foundations were damp proofed well?
All this would come to play if you are to put that board there. Else go for block works 5" or 6" block may come in handy for you to get more space. But I can't say much without seeing the plan.
So let me stop for now.

Well maybe its not like Winthrills, but we do have one investment platform I think would interest you.
Check it out, its known as Waawu advantage.

I

have always wondered why we are yet to have one in nigeria fully owned by nigerians! We can't we for once mean business?

Winthrills network is doing pretty fine since I started with them. And shockingly is co-owned by a nigerian. Can we get look into what they do and duplicate in here? Mostly housing projects? If we shun corruption and nepotism honestly it will work.


Let's do something I take God beg una. If 2 reasonable heads can do the logic and let us know how far,it will be great!
