To our Structural Engineers and Builders, please what structural purpose do colums on the upper floor of one storey buildings serve? Do they not constitute excessive load on the house as the ones on the ground floor should have provided adequate support to the upper floor? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by sonnie10: 8:52pm On Mar 02, 2022 |
Hatesin:Both the chained beam and the parapet would need vertical support. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Aforxzy(f): 9:14pm On Mar 02, 2022 |
They act as supports for the roof beams/slab and also transfer load to the foundation.. Hatesin: 1 Like |

Adedward: Looks like I am the only one who doesn’t like toilet right beside my bath or shower. A little wall cubicle makes so much difference in my opinion. |

sonnie10: This should be a thread of its own! This one even try, some plumbers are ignorant in this aspect. They just layout bathrooms any way they feel and will tell you that is the usual practice. I had to change the whole layout of all my bathrooms when I saw what a plumber did without inspection. 2 Likes |

bobkezel: I spent some time researching POP ceilings yesterday. I think many of the vendors do not educate their clients on this. POP hates moisture. In short moisture ruins it. So, it must not be installed where there is a lot of moisture which is why it is not done outside - I don't know if it can be installed in the kitchen or bathroom though. It is also why you must have a non-leaking roof. If you have a leaking roof, you are in effect wasting money if you install a POP ceiling without fixing that first. One of the sources I consulted had this to say, please see the image attached 1 Like

There has been a slight increase in the cost of electricity. 1,000 used to get 18 Kwh, it now fetches 16.5. What's your experience Time to seriously consider investing on alternative power sources Egun.mogaji said his perimeter lighting is entirely independent of the power utility company. Time to seriously consider smart homes that give you the power to automatically turn on and off lights, I have seen one that automatically turns on the lighting if the home is occupied and turns the power off if the room is no longer occupied. Time to get energy saving bulbs and to consider if you really need those high wattage lights. Time to buy energy efficient devices and dispose of the old less efficient ones Or if you prefer to make more money so all of the above does not matter to you 1 Like |

FEGEITOK: I have given a client of mine a “A Lifetime Guarantee” although we didn't have it on paper, But the client (Who has witnessed such situation of a falling Pop before) has not called me regarding any issues in two years. Now. There are cases where POP fall to the ground completely causing serious accident if anyone is there at the moment. Currently I'd give anyone a 10 years maintenance Guarantee (Maintenance: Repainting / Screeding) & A Lifetime guarantee on the structural Part: it would never fall, except the client decides to destroy it. If your house is experiencing serious structural building Problems, it would definitely affect your POP / Gypsum board. 2 Likes |

hamtabfawaz: thanks for responding, at first I was worried that despite all the POP adverts, no one was stepping forward to address potential client questions. Your answers have set you apart and I believe potential clients are taking note and your business will feel the impact. Your guarantees are good enough for me to strongly consider POP with you as the installer. 5 Likes |

On this POP issue. I’ll never use it again and will choose ready made gypsum boards. 1) Easier for repairs. For me. 2) Cleaner to install. 3) Regimented thickness throughout. Only caveat is to watch out for potentially tainted Chinese ones. 3 Likes |

EgunMogaji2: Very valid observations. I just wanted to spark discussions; I was brought up to ask the question: Why this? Why that? Hence the multiple questions about the process and product. |

Good morning all, Can anyone recommend the services of a reputable surveyor around ibafo-mowe axis.. How do they charge their rate,fixed rate per plot or bargaining ? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by topsy23: 9:21am On Mar 03, 2022 |
FEGEITOK: Yes alternative power source is good must be must be solar hybrid. Let all your light be LED with lower wattage so that it won't consume much. Sensor switch(presence detector) is good in the toilets and long passage and you don't need to be switching OFF and ON. You can as well install a photocell for external lighting 3 Likes |
