Good one.

Please don’t forget to engage an independent investigator to ascertain the integrity of the structure because your finished floor in the area where 10 inches slab was added might end up getting to almost 20 inches.

Old slab - 6 inches
New slab - 10 inches
Floor screed (prior to tiling) - 2 inches
Tiles - 0.5 inch

You need to be sure your columns can support the imposed load or there’ll be need for supplemental columns.

I HOPE YOU DIDN'T DELETE YOUR COMPLAIN?
It is a bad way to do things
If people complain are deleted
I understand the issue is resolved
There was a valid issue and he took care of it
Ok
If your complain wasn't valid there will be a good reason to delete all posting

The problem is getting the right person to do the inspection as he may still fall into the hands of one inexperienced "professional" who will go there and tell him that the thickness of the slab should be increased again to make the work "professional"

Of course we know that another "professional" cannot go there and fail to fault the work even if it's ok just to appear more "professional" than the first two "professionals"

This is a dilemma @Bigtee will suffer. It is a vicious circle. 99% of any Nigerian engineer that enters that site will find something to do "better". It might just be a case of good money chasing after bad.

I think before @Bigtee deleted his many posts, there was somewhere he said that the correcting engineer introduce a Rolling Steel Joist (RSJ) steel beam underneath the decking and with a corresponding photo as well. I think the RSJ steel beam should compensate for the extra load. With the introduction of the RSJ steel beam, gave me some confidence the correcting engineer probably know what they are doing.

Regarding load management for the upper floor, I will use 6" or even 5" hollow blocks. But then, I'm not a structural engineer.

The CBN has always said that CBN sells at N300/$ or so. Now the CBN had officially devalued finally above N400/$ so expect the BDC to hit above N500/$ shortly.
CBN is the gr8est enemy of Nigeria. They careless about businessmen and women doing businesses in Nigeria. Attract them with loan packages at the end frustrate their profit margin.

CBN is weapon of mass destruction.

Yes

1. True to ur words.. The engineer working there introduced 2 new columns directly beneath the dining which is the most affected area..
2. The whole decking wasn't recast upto 10" thickness.. Only certain portions were to correct the sloping and level up the decking. The thickness of the recasting varied from 3-10 inches.

I'm of the view they know what they are doing. By introducing the RSJ demonstrate they recognise the implication of the extra load on the decking. To me, this is reassuring.

Buhari came to power when the dollar was about 190/N. Today it is just under 600/N. The problem with the president is his inability to appoint the right people. Too many Ministers are out of their dept. The CBN Governor is just rubbish.

With oil above $50 and with restriction of $100 per an account holder, there's no reason why importers/manufacturers should be starved of FX. And there's no excuse for inability to maintain a stable exchange rate.

Depends on individual choices. Some prefer elevated dining. Personally, I prefer a level ground all over the house so long as the topography of the compound permits.
