smallsmall: Speaking from a "practical point of view", you are still not getting the point or not accepting the points being raised. Nobody is saying that a non German floor house will collapse. That is not the point. The point is the associated health risk a non German floor house brings regarding a damp home. Not all homes will be damp but all damp homes are without DPC. This is not rocket science. All those houses you are saying did not collapse, if only you know what some are suffering with regards to damp. Think about it this way: at the end of the day you are going to spend millions completing your project. So what's the point of spending all that million and still end up possibly with a damp home? Make no sense to me really. https://www.nairaland.com/3304574/permanet-solution-rising-damp Take a look at the attached pictures and the above thread and ask yourself if you need this stress after spending millions to complete your house. 2 Likes

diordaves: My blood relation suffered heavily from asthma because of this. Hence the investments I made to fight it as outlined above. Sadly, very few commercial build to rent properties build with a proper DPC and oversite concrete 1 Like |

FEGEITOK:There is no doubting this is the best approach I have come across. I don't know about cement mix but since the outcome is like concrete, it won't allow capillary action of water. The effective approach are densifying the concrete or plaster with chemicals that is absorbed to fill in the pores within and prevent water movement and using mineral paint that allows unrestricted evaporation of the water through the paint surface without peeling. The first approach gives similar effect to your approach. 1 Like |

Charisdesigns:ah baba God will bless you for this acknowledgement. The silent ones deserves alot of accolades, over four clients here sent money to me without even video or audio call. Some clients can sense honesty even from afar. They are still on my contact list about three of them big engineers that continues to give me jobs till date and still haven't met me. One of them owns his office at ikeja coz I always saw the address on each assignment he passed on to me. God will continue to bless you all and may you keep rising up higher. Amen!! 2 Likes |

As an aside from purely property matters, and in the light of the undercurrents, and some of the thank you posts here in the last days of 2021 and the early days of 2022, I thought it wise to make the statement below. In 2019, Bernardine Evaristo won the Booker Prize for Girl, Woman, Other category alongside Margaret Atwood. I watched a BBC program that rehashed that story a few hours ago. Somethings stood out. President Obama said that one of the books he uses as an escape from the pressures of the presidency was Bernardine Evaristo's book. Imagine the President of the most powerful country recommending your book. Bernardine Evaristo has returned the favor she has been granted by been digging up authors who she felt were overlooked and trying to spotlight them and because a Booker Prize winner is the one making the recommendation people were taking notice. The authors she recommended were extremely grateful that someone of her stature propped them up. The point is this, if you are a vendor on these streets, be careful what fights you get into, some fights are not worth it. Don't bite your nose to spite your face. Pick your fights carefully. Be willing to lose money to make more money in the future. Be willing to create, sustain and maintain goodwill. A word, a note, a recommendation can land you a million naira or dollar deal even a billion-dollar deal. A word, a note, a caution can also deny you a million naira or dollar deal even a billion-dollar deal. Sometimes you need someone up there to open doors that would otherwise remain closed. Don't allow people who would otherwise open doors for you to actively force doors that would otherwise be opened to remain closed. Relationships are the most valuable resource for success. I do contracts and all of my biggest contracts came to me when someone above my pay stamped his/her foot down and said give this guy this deal. If people don't like you, they will not deal. Don't give people a reason not to like you, and then not deal with you and encourage/goad/persuade others not to deal with you. A word is enough for the wise. 7 Likes |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by babadots: 4:08am On Jan 02, 2022 |
Charisdesigns: @Charisdesigns Please clarify the PRIMARY purpose of the BRC in the section. Is it as a binding agent for the concrete against cracks or it is structural? Your clarification will help me resolve my confusion here. Many thanks |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Charisdesigns: 5:08am On Jan 02, 2022 |
babadots:The primary purpose of BRC wiremesh is adding strength to your oversite concrete. Been made of steel (Structural), we introduce it to oversite concrete to provide strength to the floor, therefore acting against crack. Take for instance, A place with high movement traffic, or think about most heavy equipment we keep on the floor in our houses (Live loads), overtime fatigue might set in on the concrete, it is the function of the Wiremesh in the concrete to receive and help spread the load See it this way, Wiremesh serves the same purpose steel bars serves in Reinforced concrete slab. ———————— To the best of my knowledge, the two main reason why German floor is done is to provide Strength and Act against capillary Action While Wiremesh along side Hardcore placement, Effective ramming acts for the former, DPM (Damprove membrane) acts for the later I hope my answer is specific to your question Good morning and happy new year once more. |
