AngelicBeing: Oga mi, about the North.. I was in Zaria for 5 years working for Cadbury Nigeria Ltd. Attended few terms at ABU. When I was transfered to Lagos, I was very sad becos I love Zaria so much. I have not been to North or Zaria in 50 years now, so not sure how the situation is now. But North use to be a good place to live. Hajji M. 5 Likes |

omanzo02: After the COVID, I will surely resume my travellings. I am a world traveller, and I love it. I guess Bar is to drink beers and alcoholics, while Coffee Shop will be like our Starbucks here in USA, just for drinking coffee. Am I right? Unfortunately, I only drink non-alcoholic Henessey and no coffee but tea.Thank you Sir. Hajji M. 1 Like |

Good evening boss. You will need to provide more information as regards the project in order to get a realistic approximate estimate. It will be helpful if you provide the following information; 1) Location of the project 2) Architectural drawings 3) Structural drawings (if any) Zagee: |

mufutau55:The coffee shops are decent places and abide by the laws and requirements, nobody will bother you if you are not into it, there are numerous bars and places to hangout beside coffee shops. |

My motive of showing all these is just to remind us all that we have so many beautiful places in Nigeria here where you can live and establish business without much fear once you do your feasibility studies of the area(mainly for visitor or diaspora people who only visited there home town once in a decade. As you can see Nigeria is not a shit hole. Here we go again Anambra state: Igbo kwenu” I hail oo List of few cities/ towns in Anambra Awka ; capital Nnewi Onitsha Omor Agulu Ihiala Etc Anambra; light of the nation “ formal known as “ home for all” Total Area; 4,844km2 1 Like

rotecch77:The issue is not about beauty or how clean the place is but security. Tourist want come over to see and enjoy how we live, do things, transportation (good or bad it doesn't matter), environment, weather, culture etc.....There is no guarantee that an American or European or potential tourist will visit a remote area without been seen as a potential target for ransom, 419 or been robbed of his valuable. I have visited places less better or equal to Naija without fear of been harmed or seen as a target because they have a trusted security system that fight and punish crime accordingly. 4 Likes |

[quote author=Pascal2016 post=94408784] That's exactly what my Engr said, that it's cheaper to do structural foundation with pad instead of doing strip foundation with chained DPC. He told me that he will use 12mm rod to chain it all round including the areas that will carry partition wall and DPC will be done on top of the reinforced beams. He further told me that loads will be transferred via the foundation beams to the pad and the house will be strong. I am only worried because it's a 2 storey building and I have not seen that before. I will appreciate more lights on this from the gurus on this platform. Thank you all for your contributions so far.[/quote Your foundation type depends on the nature of the subsoil. If the soil is firm, a pad footing should be sufficient to support your 2 storey building. The pad footing must be designed and constructed such that the depth and the size of the base can comfortably spread the structural load to the foundation. Let a structural engineer design the building for you, this will eliminate your fears and worries. Safety and Stability first. 2 Likes |

Tade722: It would be nice if you can share a Video of the START-FINISH of a Decking, using this method so that one can compare it with normal Cement/granite decking. I think a lot of people will like to try it but are still skeptical of the process and cost implications, due to lack of adequate knowledge of it. A Video will answer all questions without any iota of doubt. |

rajput4real93: Hardwood is the best for the following: - design styles, grains and colour - ability to resist temperature fluctuations - scratches are easily covered and better handled on hardwood doors. - can be repainted HDF is just a cheaper lookalike version of natural hardwood. #personalopinion - 1 Like |

I agree with you Sir...The dynamism of Real Estate is very interesting to say the least in Nigeria!!!. No scarcity but yet we hype everything. I love your style; i refuse to pay more than N1M for any land as well. I am also willing to start in a Suburb as well. We are starter, not follower!!! EgunMogaji2: 2 Likes |

Aforxzy: Hmm. I’m still at loss on why Nigerians always choose cost over quality. Value = Quality over Cost Quality can be defined as “ freedom from deficiencies – freedom from errors that require doing work over again (rework). _____ #personalopinion I’m not responding to any post. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by n3xt(m): 2:32am On Sep 29, 2020 |
Some people will just pick a random image on the Internet and assume the quality is 100% A typical example is this tank tower designed without gusset plate. It’s tall, grande but not professionally designed. _____ I just pick the image on the Internet o. Abeg, I’m not condemning any work.

n3xt: We are discussing "Safety and Security" and the other guy was trying to paint a rosy, non-existent picture, what sort of pictures would l present (as long as it is not faked) to butress the point that the North of TODAY, is worse than Somalia and Yemen combined.? Moreover, this same Video is the basis of 'a thread on nairaland' and no one has asked that it should be removed. The same pitures are in various National newspapers and they have not been censored. Can you please tell me exactly WHY you want it removed? Is it just because it is graphic? I want to reason along with your position and will consider removing it, based on a convincing, logical expalnation. Thanks, for taking a second look at my position as well. 4 Likes |
