It's very quiet here I think we should discuss politics as it affects the construction industry Since nobody is building for the moment And then egun and da bomb can give us some English lesson |

When we were debating pressing political issues, some members here were busy reporting our comments & deleting them. What is the construction industry of a nation without a sound economy? Na who no chop go build house? How can we get a sound economy without addressing issues affecting the political landscape? This conutry is heading towards only God what direction. Our last hope is restructuring, because the divide is too much to curb at this level & instead of the president to address it, he is busy makng mockery of those that protested in London, which warranted his return, because he doesn't want to devolve power. Make 2019 come abeg, Nigerian can never move forward with a president with such a high level of conservative mindset. 3 Likes |

Hi guys. This is a bit of a long one: So I have been away (hustling and stuff) and decided to build a low budget functional house for my family and stop the house rent which is becoming a drain. I decided to build on a 50 by 50 plot of land. A basic 2 bedroom bungalow. I did very basic floor plan (see attached) to allow for enough space for rooms and a packing space which can take 2 cars. I used this tool http://www.sweethome3d.com/ for my floor plan. Due to my busy schedule, I left the supervision with my brother since he had experience in construction. He hired the technicians and hands for the project while I provided money. They took the project to lintel level when I came back to inspect it. Unfortunately I was very unhappy with what I saw. Here are my concerns 1) Against my instruction, my brother still went on to mix 9 inches with 6 inches for the outter walls. I told him to use 9 inches for the outter walls of the house all through and reserve the 6inches for the house. This was not done instead 9 inches blocks was used up to window level and 6 inches used to lintel level. I fear that this might affect the structural integrity of the house in future, since the house was designed not to have pillers and DPC was not used in the 3 course foundation. 2) I halted the roofing of the house because the carpenter recommended I use head course which is a casting done round the house 2 courses after the lintel. Is this really necessary? My brother said the style of laying 6inch blocks on 9inch was fine since I wont be doing parapet and the soil was dry and good and " people do it alot without issues" but am not sold. Is they any remedy to this before roofing? please gurus in the house. I would appreciate your take. I have attached pictures of the property in its current state. 1 Like 1 Share

bigrovar: I was lambasted on here for being a "1 brick a year" builder because I was taking my time and ensuring that things were done my way thus only working on site when I was physically in the country to oversee. If I were you I would finish this structure with minimal fanfare as in finishing, etc and then sell it off. Or better yet rent it off. I don't think the house is unsafe, for a bungalow, but it's not what you want. You'll always second guess your self. Then start off a new build but this time with you as the General Contractor. Good luck. |

EgunMogaji: Thanks alot for the advise bro. That is exactly my plan. Yet even for renting out. I just wanted to know if laying 6 inch blocks on 9 would have any structural effect whatsoever in future. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 8:02pm On Aug 27, 2017 |
bigrovar: I've seen it done as design element on builds by one of the majors on here. But these are guys that use pillars as structural elements so the 9" or 6" are just used as partitions, even on external walls. Frankly, I don't know if it's safe or not. Hopefully, the experts will come in. AbdulWastecx, KolaShangOne, Skimanski |
