In addition to this, who is expected to build a house?
1. Take for example I want to build a bungalow or a duplex, who should build it, is it a builder, a civil engineer, an architect, a QS, or a building contractor ( someone who just brings and manages artisans)?

2. What criteria determines the knowledge/license of someone who can build a house?
a). Is it by the formal education they have received
b). Years of practice/ on the job experience ( informal education)?
c). Number of trainings they have attended on buildings/ constructions?

It would also be good if the professionals in the house can identify with their trade/training/area of expertise..

Modified


Builders are thought and certified to produce building that’s globally said.

Other professional are just thought few basic in building construction!
And they have their own area of specialization!

And for building contractor anybody can be that but the person must engage professionals.
Architect, Builders and Engineers e.t.c

There's gold on these streets.

This resource is an encyclopedia of building knowledge.

Few of my questions have been answered directly but using Google and creative searching of this site has yielded a lot of information that would otherwise have been hard to come by.

Thanks to all who started this thread and all who contribute to keeping it alive.

To illustrate, I wondered how do I get original rebars for a renovation project and I found TigerTMT.

I then searched and I saw their site and was able to get the contacts of their distributors in my area.

Needless to say, given the presence of fakes in our market, that validation of quality means a lot to me.

Sadly, there I am still on the lookout for genuine sellers of butyl rubber, plastic sheets, bituminous felts for DPC.

Any leads will be highly appreciated.

Role of Architects in Construction Contracts

If the whole size of the project is known, it is able to understand the different sectors of the project that can be divided and provided to the contractors. Contractors take over the project and implement it with their labors as instructed by the architects/engineers.”

“ The architects have role in suggesting and choosing the contractors for different activities of construction.”

“ The role of architect from the construction process to the maintenance will insist the architect to handover an owner’s manual that will have recommendations for the future maintenance and repairs.”

At least in the USA, specifically California. Not sure about all over the world.

Let me talk to my butyl tape supplier.

I am a layman who reads a lot, is very inquisitive and wants to do the best that can be done with he funds that are available.

But I read up to understand what the experts are doing so I can interact intelligently with them and most importantly to ensure that I am getting the quality that I deserve at a reasonable price point.

Thanks to you guys, I know that 16mm is fine for columns (pillars) for a bungalow. Same as my builder suggested.

That the lintels should be tied together to hold the house together.

That the quality of our blocks is worrisome.

That there can be no concrete parapet unless the wall has been prepared to carry those weights.

One question though, how about pouring weak concrete into our hollow walls, does anyone do this? Is it recommended?

I am particularly concerned by the DPC stuff because I have lived in homes with rising damp and someone really close to me had a health problem from it.

Finally rising damp is one of the reasons driving my renovation project.

I am using that opportunity to fortify the building with columns(pillars)

Location matters? Where is it located and the complexity of the house design, room sizes and spaces will also be taken into consideration 4 or 5 million if you squeeze money hard.

Welcome layman grin

In theory of structure, the strength of a building lies in the column supporting the structure and not the blocks.

That’s why frame structure is the acceptable standard for construction worldwide.

Columns carries the load and not the blocks. So pouring slurry into the hollow blocks would only add more load to your building than strength.
You might end up creating another major problem while trying to solve a simple one.

As chairman of layman builders council of this forum, I’d recommend you introduce columns into critical areas of your build.
Talk to your structural engineer about this

________

I’d share picture of a massive storey building that was built with 6 inches hollow block. It’s more than 2 decades old and it’s still very solid.

Who builds what depends on what is being built.
Ideally, in every construction project the notorious 5 should be involved... the Architect, the structural engineer, the mechanical engineer, the electrical engineer and the builder.
In reality, it doesn't make any economic sense to have all these people in a small project say a four bedroom bungalow.
Anyone with a degree in Engineering or experienced in construction should not have problems completing a four bedroom bungalow.

When it comes to big projects like the 21 floors that collapsed in Lagos, you will need the services of all the professionals in building construction or connected including wind engineers, Quantity surveyors, lawyers,Land surveyors, estate managers....e.t.c
