saydfact: Op please enlightened us I noticed you using granite for foundations I used to think it's done with rock /stone....especially for houses, and not fence...hoping to start a 4-bedroom flat next year |

Daboomb: Unfortunately No engineer or qualified professional wld put a column on that structure... We're not building on water sir... And I repeat. Putting Columns on that building with that soil type is a waste of money. .. However, I'm not saying you're off point... . I'm saying What determines building elements are SOIL and BUILDING TYPE.... and this particular building needs no column... Lets continue this discussion if you're an engineer by training if not.... Then see it as an advice from a professional... Thanks for your interest I sincerely appreciate them but I shd also be able to advice. On conduit - my mind was on wiring actually, for plumbing we did surface outside for big pipes and only buried bathroom pipes because of tiling.. 4 Likes |

saydfact:I don't believe you bros and, That Mr A built without beam or lintel doesn't make it right. My father's house was built with short lintel (then they have solid cement and other materials unlike the present building materials) yet we have cracking that went from foundation to the Last block. .bear it in mind that most professional builder erect structures with pillars, beam and lintel before fixing blocks or bricks however, your idea is economical but the quality is reduced!! 1 Like |

Mrkumareze: Let me rephrase. AT Shoprite Sangotedo, we have 30 courses of blocks on each other WITHOUT a beam between them. The issue is Nigerian are used to one way of doing things and they don't research.... Have u seen a cantilever of 4m without a column? I can invite you to see one at Ikoyi, and if u still don't believe my Shoprite story, come over I'll show u how it's done... I'm presenting around Falomo Lagos. I didn't say we don't have columns or beans at Shoprite.. I said we have 30 blocks on each other without a break. Finally.. Wee presently building a 8 storey building at Banana island without a SINGLE BEAM. This things are NOT special to us in the industry na normal things.... I understand it's not ur field so it cld look impossible 3 Likes |

The distance between those columns are about 6-9m apart.... The method used in erecting those block is different from the normal block setting way - thats an info for another day and time. Hope now you believe my statements earlier? Thanks Bro... 1 Like |

saydfact: Stop comparing Apples and Oranges. That Shoprite picture you showed, has answered the question itself. That building is basically an Iron structure with Blocks just inserted to fill the walls. Once the Blocks are staright/balanced, their weight will act vetically downwards on each other while the iron columns carry all the load and help the walls to maintain stability as well It is different from the kind of building you have here where the Blocks are the load-carrying elements themselves. Any building wall without columns/beams (no matter how few), is an accident waiting to happen, ....it is just a question of time and when. 2 Likes |

Daboomb: Convincing the Op is a difficult task, I wondered how he's comparing the shoprite with what he present us here. That house is a disaster waiting for the right time to occur . My father's house was built in 70s without Columns and beams, just like what the Op presented, today the crack on the walls keeps developing and, we can't even compare the durability of cement then with what we Presently . Op is just trying to cover up his lapses, I discovered he built the house for someone who's not within the country & he probably he charged for both Labour and materials |

Mrkumareze: ![]() ![]() I'll advice you talk to a structural engineer for enlightening.... Not everyone is a fraud.... And let me hammer it in once again. That building type on that soil type DOES NOT need a column.... . Quote me any day. Everyone and anyone Who KNOWS A QUALITY JOB SHD TELL FROM THE PICS I SENT.... DO U THINK PICKING 6 PAINTS IS AS CHEAP AS USING ONE PAINT? DO YOU THINK THAT CASEMENT WINDOWS ARE CHEAP AND THE ALUMINUM ROOF... DID YOU SEE THE KITCHEN SINK AND I USED THE MOST EXPENSIVE CABLES IN THE NIGERIAN MARKET. HILARIOUS UR COMMENT ABOVE.... HILARIOUS DID YOU SEE THE ROOF CARCASS, NO CONTRACTOR USES 2by6, 2by4 and 3by4 THE WAY I USED IT.... I DOUBT YOU SAW ALL THOSE... Talk to a professional Bro....... Or google. Thanks |
