megacontrol: If no structure is envisaged like you said just evacuate, dismantle blocks and fill with laterite. There will be settlement but good enough to use as compound space from completion. |

IamD18:Greed ke? So for an architect to supervise a building construction don turn greed? Any construction company that wants to employ an architect add site supervision as a criteria. And also Nigerians don't pay the right amount for drawings, so do you expect an architect after collecting peanuts for a design will now let a builder/engineer to make all the money from site supervision? Lastly, site supervision is not rocket science. 1 Like |

bixton: Not just in Imo and Edo state, in Anambra state especially Onitsha 60 - 70% of one storey buildings were done with Y12 iron and 6" solid blocks as against Y16 iron and 9" hollow blocks. Also some people use Y12 and 9" hollow block in their construction. |

Hello, So I don't know if this is the right place to post this. But I am in need of some help. I need an office space. To be specific, I need a shared space for a team of 4 people. My company is a Digital Marketing agency. We would like to serve your company in return. Manage your business online at no cost. If this is a good deal please let me know. If there is a different forum that can help with this, please let me know. Also if you have a friend who does not mind sharing his office space, please let me know too. Thank you |

bixton: ***Oga Brabus, I think we should make it clear that this Individual has to be a professional. A structural Engineer that can calculate the loads acting on the building, and distribute this load appropriately. A house built with 6" blocks will most likely have 150 x 150mm columns and beams. Can they easily substitute for 225 x 225mm columns and beams? Do they have a required safety factor? Etc etc.. ****Also, the fact that you use a 9" or 6" block doesn't guarantee absence of defects ((this is majorly down to construction practices)) but there are reasons why we choose to use 9". All things being equal, a 9" block will have a higher load resistance than a 6" block. I'm talking Dead loads, Wind loads, Live loads, Vertical loads, compression and axial loads etc etc..

KolaShangOne: Naturally and professionally one won't do a design for a single storey building with 6"blocks and Y12 to be used as columns/beams. If another is said to be a professional that individual should be able to calculate the number of Y12(columns/beams) that would stand as substitute for Y16 and also its corresponding stirrups spacing putting every other thing into consideration. |

olaitoro: And one can imagine that such structures are still standing. Guess probably they know what they are doing. |

olaitoro:On my view, I think the regulations there have been able to handle them well and making sure every site is doing the right thing. Quack engineers would have gotten their stay better if there is no strict authority. Nigerians will always be Nigerians |
