I am considering the installation of Solar energy to a four bedrooms with 2 living rooms bungalow in Ibeju Lekki axis. Professional solar energy provider that knows his/her stuff can respond. Again you have to be very knowledgeable and ready to offer best for reasonable price. If you are not up to it don't respond. If you did not do a good job I will shout all over this page for people to know. I have worked with many people here and they are going to tell you I am a reasonable person that demands good job and accommodate unexpected delay in delivery schedule. Low cost is secondary to quality job. I always tell people I don't want to buy something of #5 for #7 but I am ready to pay #10 for quality. In other word, while I may not be rich enough to buy Benz, I will wait until I have the money to buy Toyota or Honda instead of buying Hyundai now. The analogue is for the wise to comprehend 4 Likes |

EgunMogaji2: I’d never blame any contractor, subcontractor, supervisors or builder nor materials for failure on my personal build. I’d take full responsibility for whatever happen in my build knowing that I, the homeowner is the project director. I pick all the pieces so I should take ownership of whatever happen. Until we start jailing homeowners whose projects suffered collapse (whether partial of full), we won’t be able to stop this madness in our country. The speed at which greedy and inexperienced contractors use substandard materials on largely disturbed soil to build unapproved structures in our dear country is very alarming. Over 90% of homeowners do not have approval for their buildings (it’s a known fact) neither do they bother to invite relevant authorities (especially the sleepy ones) for stage certification and material testing. What exactly is wrong with us? And we are condemning China that built stackable 10 storey building in 28 hours when we are yet to perfect the construction of ordinary 2 floor building using concrete o Sigh! 1 Like |

somehow: This is just my random thought. Don’t take me too serious o. ______ Building don’t collapse because of substandard materials or greedy developers alone, your next door neighbour, government or developments happening around you can bring down your building unknowingly. Take for instance you’re building in an estate that’s largely undeveloped and someone building close to you decided to bring a D9 dozer into the estate to do earthwork. If your house didn’t fall, it’d experience some real vibrations which can affect your building. There are basic environmental factors to consider before, during and after we build our houses. This include but not limited to our immediate environment, the weather condition, direction of wind, the development pattern (if you have a 4 floor building amidst bungalows, you should know what to expect during torrential rainfall). Some beautifully designed and developed estates in Lekki, Lagos are currently submerged and on the brink of collapse not because they didn’t use good materials but because of our development pattern. Another developer may just feel like Sandfilling his estate higher than every other estates around without considering the consequence. A lot of projects on Lekki/Epe axis are going to have serious issues with the ongoing road construction. The new road is way higher than most of the developments happening around the area. With the rising sea level, most developments in and around Lekki are right looking like they’re in a valley. You might want to check VGC and the popular Ikota shopping complex out during the rains. They weren’t developed to be under water. OPIC Isheri and some other estates on the Lagos/Ibadan express had the same thing in common. The major question right now is to ask ourselves “What are the city planners doing?” We are in a rush to build houses but extremely slow to fix infrastructure later. The fix-along-as-you-build approach is very wrong. _______ About a decade ago, I remembered the recommendation we always give to people here is to secure their property with a fence, sandfill it and leave for about 2 years before they start construction. We no longer do this. We just want to build and fix all other sh*ts along. |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by somehow: 9:25am On Jul 08, 2021 |
n3xt: In a nutshell, you're saying those who need roofs over their heads in some areas should wait until government comes to fix infrastructures around before they build even if it take 30 years? How old is the average lifespan in Nigeria again? Your analysis to me is sounding somehow. I believe this is why homeowners employ professionals to handle their builds. Professionals should know the dos and don't before, during and after completing the project (s). I am still trying to find an area in Nigeria that was developed by government before people started building there. 1 Like |

somehow: There’s no need to preach “Wait and Patience” to anyone sir. When the time comes, they’d pack to areas where there are no flooding issues in Mainland and Ogun state. Those who know knows when it’s rainy season in Lekki, we move to our 2nd homes. Unfortunately, no one can control this no matter how rich! _______ 2 Likes |

n3xt: The areas you're talking about didn't start existing 10yrs ago, they have been existing for as old as Lagos itself, so I am still trying to understand the 'rush",' patience', and "wait" comment. Up till now, alot of places on the mainland still get flooded during rainy season, this is a known fact, maybe they were also in a rush to build. I am at a loss here but I move. 1 Like |
