n3xt: Is this box beam prefab or in situ? What materials are used? Spyder880 had some exposed beams on his recent project but those were mainly for structural integrity |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by n3xt(m): 3:06pm On Aug 11, 2021 |
sonnie10: The box beam is a decorative beam solely for aesthetics. It comes in variety of styles (wood, fibreglass, wpc, steel etc). It’s best used in spaces where the design won’t compromise headroom. So a very high headroom is required. ________ Pic - Here’s something classic, cheap and simple (exposed beam) BUT it’s not an easy install cos you’d do most work during roof framing. 1 Like

Born2conquer: I don’t think it’ll happen. Gypsum Board is the norm in the USA. I specifically chose POP because even homes costing tens of millions of dollars use Gypsum Board. 2 Likes

EgunMogaji2: In 2019, I learnt a new word from the Global Leadership Summit, a world-class leadership conference hosted by Willow Creek Association, United States. The word is coined from the phrase “Good Enough To Move On” - GETMO GETMO is a valuation of resources required on a project compared to the return on the investment of those resources. When we work on a project, it’s so easy to throw more time, more money, or more resources and concentration at it because naturally investing more would naturally bring in more returns. However, at some point, investing more will reach a cap limit and your curve would start to level off or even drop. That’s the point you need to GETMO. Every project manager needs to find that sweet spot where you get the greatest level of return for the investment you make in time, money, and resources. _________ So I always aim for that level where I can get maximum impact for a sustainable amount of investment, hit the target and move on. 2 Likes

bobkezel: Currently the cheapest alternative to pop are many. But the question is, can this match with your design of luxury home? Some regular cheap common alternative materials to pop - pvc ceiling -ceiling board ( asbestos) -plastering (plastering /screeding of under slab) Luxury ceiling finishings -pop - special plastics/ Aluminum - wood finishing - special glass -faux metal Etc 3 Likes

rmx: Someone is broke and we (I mean everyone) are paying for it. Sir, I’m sure you know this. When prices rise, low and middle-class families pay. Wealthy families profit. This is currently happening in Nigeria without damning the consequences. The powerful players are hiking prices of commodities to maximize their profit and as a result household incomes are transferred from the poor and middle class to the wealthy. If I may ask, what exactly is the reason for the increase in the price of cement in Nigeria? I live just few minutes away from one of the oldest plants in the country. I can debunk all myths in split second. It’s not like they increase workers wage, bought new equipments, or ran out of raw materials. It’s pretty easy for the big players in Nigeria to set monopolistic pricing that takes a bite out of every income group’s share of our national income in a bid to survive takeover by AMCON, with the exception of the top 10%, whose incomes rise. Baba you won’t understand because you fall among the TOP 10% whose income rise or you may understand and just say “What shall we say unto the Lord?” because you did nothing wrong and you’re just lucky like every other top 10% who are a beneficiary of the wealth transfer. ________ Pic - FG protecting the interest of the super-rich at the expense of the masses. 1 Like

gbadexy: Sashhh!!!! I’m only a consultant on that project and my job is to make things work. I’ve seen many people play this role and the only thing they knew is to find fault. Your client, my friend and a brother is 100% the opposite of my client that I shared his story few days ago. When he approached me in January that he wants to start this project. He said “I’d like you to work with me.” He didn’t try to play on my intelligence. He needed help in many areas and I offered him all the necessary support without holding back anything. He wanted me to share some cost-saving strategies with him and I did and show him how to achieve more with less. Make I no lie, him buy me fish and stout and we go clubbing _____ 6 months later, our 30 flats multi-dwelling project is done! Guess what? Your client is a first timer but a very good guy with a very large heart. I’m not surprised this project was completed in record time. Congrats to our so so silent client! More wins @gbadexy and Regal paints. 2 Likes
