sunitex: For idea get a good symmetrical drawing all wall must b3 aligned ground and upper lesser cantilever this will make u have more axial load and lesser moment to deal with.. Get a good site personnel that can interprets structural drawing to it maximum this is very important. Because the drawing will be optimized to it minimum. Tell Your structural the truth the steel you intend buying local or foreign all this will make you have a strong and economical frame .. Modified hope you won't later rent it our for commercial purpose tell the designer your future plan as well because construction cost will differ 1 Like |

KelvinCoaster: When I told my client to allow us pick a larger chunk of reinforcements needed on my ongoing project, he was kinda reluctant at first and felt like “Prices could come down.” I told him I have control over almost all other variables but reinforcement. Cement, sand, aggregates and formwork won’t pose a challenge for me on the project as I have better strategies to handle nasty surprises BUT reinforcements. Today iron rod is 360k/ton... that’s 60k + over budget and the project is not even up 1 month old. _________ While I was stocking up reinforcements, one of my friend decided to buy 4 wheelbarrows at DPC stage ![]() Here’s the thing: Contractors using 3D Building Information Modelling (BIM) systems to plan their projects would do far better than those who “work as the spirit led” in time like this. For my friend (a certified member of NIQS), a wheelbarrow that can be rented at N500/day is a bigger priority in a very unpredictable market ![]() Even the people we call the illiterates are far smarter. I’d share a project shortly being executed by almost an illiterate man. He bought all the reinforcement for his 3 floor buildings at once and over 1500 planks. Always remember, a QS quote won’t keep the price at “K” A smarter approach to construction will do. Good morning all! 1 Like |

rmx:I didn't believe it could ever get this high. I wanted to buy materials in bulk around December but felt companies would resume by january and materials would be available again hence driving down price. Major binder acrylic that was sold for N470 is sold for N1400 per kg as at now. Major pigment used in nearly all colours, titanium dioxide is solid 2 times the cost it was as at October last year, plastic container is twice the initial price with some change to spare, materials for oil based gloss is over 3 times the initial cost and they keep rising weekly! It's like living in a nightmare that refuses to end. Those that hesitated when the price just started rising would have to pay more or wait and hope it comes down which won't be anytime soon nor to the old initial price. I used to know the finance ministers due to their activities and updates of their activities but now I don't even know who is in charge. Even if I read about her now, I would forget in hours. Folks should brace up and strive to get whatever needs doing done if capable. God forbids but na so Zimbabwe economy reach where it is gradually with great descent and no apparent reasonable attempt to stem the tide. 4 Likes |

michlins:Fabricators in Aba have been constructing stuff like this. Once you see something you like, approach them with it, and they'll do it. Just that in building constructions, many still prefer old designs. Newer ideas gain traction slowly. |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by michlins(m): 7:35am On Apr 03, 2021 |
gbadexy:the truth is that there's no end in site. From December till date, cost of nearly every material has doubled at least. As if that's not enough,it keeps adding #200-300 daily. You might think it's not much but buy like 100 of those and feel the difference. We're just in the hand of God like this 1 Like |

yungmin:a storey means from floor to floor or floor to roof. A bungalow is a one storey building because it consists of only one storey (floor to roof) A duplex is a 2 storey building and one suspended floor (dpc to first floor then first to roof) that’s why it’s a two storey building British or American naming. British named their ground floor as ground floor whilst the Americans call it first floor. This doesn’t really have anything to do with storey. 1 Like 1 Share
