AZUH: Jokes apart. The difference between my project and yours is this. The house was built to this current stage and abandoned in 2012.While your building should be a year old or less. Tge I see the Pillars in your building doesn't look good.Might have to bring it down. |

raymondFirstborn:nice one , the project started far back in 2011 , how can you bring down the pillar ?are you in delta bro ? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by raymondFirstborn(m): 12:58am On Oct 30, 2017 |
AZUH: not really. I left delta for trans amadi in Porthacourt around 1pm in the afternoon. Should be back to ughelli tomorrow or next. |

raymondFirstborn:sounds good since you are around where the project is , but how can you bring down those pillars ?did you notice other errors from the pics ? can you point them ? |

AZUH: For the pillars a briclayers hammer would do the job. Looking at the building, whoever built it should have made sure the building is higher than the Natural Ground level & not on the same level. |

Daboomb: It's also important to have entrance doors fitted before tiling. The inner doors can be installed after tiling though the frames should be installed. 1 Like |

AZUH: You are actually as old as my father, but the illiterate version of him! X So, you eventually agreed that you need to get rid of those chicken-leg Pillars now? We have been telling you that since 2011. Mbok, l thought you said it was your brother who owns the house and you are just helping him to oversee things, here in Nigeria? Which time you go Belgium come back? Just make sure l dont see those Pillars there again. And please, remove the Roofing and raise the floor of that Chicken shed before flood waters come back and do you bad thing. 1 Like |

AZUH: Dont you think it is acute poverty that actually makes you build this chicken-Pillars since 2011 and still be looking for a contractor to remove the Chicken Pillars in 2017, while abusing others of building chicken Coop! It is not by force to build house with Belgium money now? I just want to warn the Contractors to be careful with this sort of Client because just as we have bad Contractors, we also have Clients from hell. 4 Likes |

alstacs: Dont be too concerned about how much the Contractor quoted (I am not saying you should not be worried if given an unreasonable quote). What l think you should pay more attention to, is that the job is well done and your Parrapet wont start falling-off after a few years, l have seen such happen. To be sure you are not wasting money or being coned, get involved in your building. Negotiate labour alone while you buy and supply the needed Cement, Sand, Iron and wood to do the form-work. keep a close eye on what is being done and ensure they stick to "good standards". You may agree to even #200,000 and the Contractor then spacse the hanging irons at distances that are too far apart to give effective support or fills the Parapet with a very weak mix of concrete (in your absence) and you will never know, until a few years down the line. I would say you read through this thread and other threads where Parapet has been done so you can familiarise yourself with the knowledge because it is not a big deal at all (if you read and have the knowledge o). A good build is not just about how much (High or Low) is charged or paid, it is more of KNOWLEDGE and CORRECT SUPERVISION Goodluck. 2 Likes |

ubox: Can you make this a flat roof desgin . make any example choice with the attached pic, let me know if i can hire you for a job....

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by ubox: 3:20pm On Oct 31, 2017 |
Flashmove:Yes I can, but more details will be needed than just the front elevation. The plan of the building in question will also be needed so as to know where the flat roof will slope to because although it's called a flat roof, it's sloped at a very little angle that's barely visible so as to discharge the rain water. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Flashmove: 3:35pm On Oct 31, 2017 |
ubox: A flat roof that will have a flower pot decoration and lights at the roof top

Daboomb: Thank you very much, boss. I really appreciate your guidance and I just tell you that I've enjoyed this support for almost 2 years now. I must apologise I misled you, the quotation is actually for water collection system round the edge of the roof and not parapet. Pls find the quotation attached
