Born2conquer: Yes you are right. Some chandelier light are not less than 450k. Client should not expect an electrician to install it at a cheaper price. Risk is involve and if anything happen Engr or technician would be ask for replacement 2 Likes |

erico2k2: The reason everyone is in one trade or the other is because of whats in it for them. If posting with price doesnt put more money in his pocket at the end of the day, dont worry yourself about prices because you ain't gonna see no price tag Have you wondered why these prices are omitted? The same reason why you want to see a price tag is the only reason you arent seeing one. 6 Likes |

Hajivince: I’m not demeaning any profession. I’m only stating the obvious. We just talked about Cocoa House few weeks back. It’s still standing after many years. The same applies to NECOM building and many other solid structures built several decades ago. There were no shortcuts back then. No copy and paste. No templates. Today, Autocad training is less than 15k within 3 weeks. I know how long it take to produce just one drawing in the 80s. Solid foundations were built in the time past and not all the theatrics we do these days. People respect standards and follow building codes to the letter. That’s why it’s very difficult to see monumental structures like the National Theatre, Iganmu and the likes. What we see today are slap and fix structures covered with cheap claddings. What we see today are just cheap stuffs! Check the railway stations built decades ago and compare with what we’re seeing today. I know the difference because I grew up while most of these structures were built. Check out our institutions and see the quality of constructions happening today and compare it with what was built several years ago. 12 Likes

n3xt: The driving force then was not monetary, but now we all want make money, the client want to maximise profit while the builders want to short change the clients on the same reason, everything now turn to Rat Race, no trust from both parties, What happens in the case of ikoyi building collapse is synonymous to this adage You shall reap what you sow, the result affect every stakeholder to the extent of sacrificing the gifted and precious life to intentional quackery, they knew the consequence of their actions they were blindfolded by the monetary benefit. 2 Likes |

n3xt: I understand perfectly from the angle u coming from but softwares are made to make designs easier and AutoCAD isn't even a Structural Design software, it just helps for detailing manually. That being said, Technology advancement is to purposely makes the world a better place and no actual Engineering software will encourage u to cut corners. What we have now is Clients not understanding Engineering designs thereby going for something someone somewhere conjure together because it's cheap and use that as Engineering Drawings. A lot of people here jus pay an Architect to do an Engineering drawing and they inturn look for a Uni or poly student to draft something and present it and because of the country we are in, nobody really goes through this drawings thoroughly as they don't even understand what it entails. I've seen a lot of Structural drawings here that there's no calculation whatsoever done on it and u get the same reinforcements provision and Hogging and Bending moments and even critical areas aren't catered for. The amount of professionals that build here with top bars ain't up to 40% and all u see is "Secret Beams" as it's fondly called and because people won't notice or pay no mind, their building deflects when the even jump or place their Service loads. U see people criticising the ones trying to do the right thing by saying I saw sb do it with like this and it stands or u hear are u constructing a bridge and so on... Primarily cost is an important factor to b considered in Engineering practices but safety and "longetivity" should b seen as a Paramount attribute. Lastly, The mistake most of us make is coz we have COREN or the necessary certificate, we think we can work on Deep foundations and highrise without trainings from experience experts and deliver successfully. The client might not see the signs in the early stages but every mistake hurried will resurface later in the future. Archaic methods aren't better than new methods, we jus lower our standards of delivering. We have over 20stories in Lagos too standing today 1 Like |

Hajivince: Last month someone approached us for a hotel structural design with columns span of 7.8m at all sides and going to 4 floors. After our calculations, we arrive at a beam depth of 750mm with y20 reinforcements. It was after the whole process that the person told us that, they want to use the design for approval but their intent is to use secret beam (not the one we designed with a beam drop of 750mm) for the entire project, and I almost jump out of my skin upon hearing that. He said they have seen so many beamless slabs and they are still standing. We have to take out time to school them on different types of slabs (solid,flat,ribbed,waffle) and how it has its own design/construction principles and how that flat slab is not a function of secret beams(that’s actually disastrous) The problem is that most of all this people are truly not in the know (In this case, they were obviously mistaken solid slab for flat slab(beamless slab) and as such they believe it is hidden beam that will hold their 7.8m span slab. 2 Likes
