the question is, would there alway be power when u want to cook ur spicy 9ja meal that can choked the world? some of us have fridge that we can't even stock because of power outage

I don't know about the spicy food you cook that chokes the world. I no get money reach you and I still dey chill for my caban. The system will also work if you intentionally plan your layout while building and not an after thought.

Coincidentally, today I was at a Costco store and I saw those laminate woods packed in bundles, and I was thinking, what other ways could they be used other than for flooring.
very much possible, but those for furniture are produced differently though.

As at 3years ago,it was doable. Right now with anything less than 18m forget it. Pop finishing alone if you buy materials yourself is 7k/sqm. An average 3bed with 200sqm is 1.4m for pop this is not contractor rate o.

Finishing is where you would spend money.Building this in Benin around aruogba .
Bungalow + pent


To be honest with you bosses in building setting of block to me I found it that is the most easiest thing the finishing he and the roofing chop money .

Sad to see all those high rises collapsing in Turkey and Syria. Hopefully our structural engineers and builders are paying attention. A lot of these are modern builds.

Regarding the discussion on open kitchen layouts. I have a semi open kitchen by design. It’s been wonderful and after over a year of living with it there’s hasn’t been any regret or offensive odor. Life is short, live how you want. Any offended guest doesn’t have to come back,

a good structural analysis requires at least 48hours of work which will total about 1k dollars, for a floor structure so how many clients are willing to pay for that hours. Then the construction itself has to be engineered not that you take what a professional engineer has done and give to your quack builder because he has 20years of building experience. How many clients are willing to pay for that

The ease that they are going down is staggering. I’m beyond shocked.

I do notice that a lot of them seemingly has underground parking.

Strong disagree there.

This is the way we would also have said the collapse of the lekki towers was inevitable.

If the building codes had been followed, we would have damage, not this widespread failure.

Lekki towers is totally different caused by design or construction failure.
Those buildings in Turkey were affected by the earthquake which is a natural disaster. Earthquake of 7.8 magnitude is not a small thing.

when earthquake happens in a particular area, the surrounding buildings will experience a certain level of vibrations from the earthquake, it's also known as seismic waves, if this waves are taken into consideration during the design and construction of those nearby buildings, the building will resist such waves.

But for buildings directly above and close to the earthquake, collapse Is due to occur, but that is majorly depending on the magnitude of the earthquake.

This is a fool....sincerely

Philipgarza31:
If you don't have funds to pay brickdevo then kindly let him know that he has worked for free and he should kiss his balance goodbye because for someone doing a bongalow I'm sure you are just trying to see how you can become a home owner on a budget. If you start owing workers at this initial stage of your life then you may never get anything done because it is a big curse on your head to deny your worker his pay. You should be praying for a bigger blessing, here in Benin children of 16years are building mansions with swimming pool and jacuzzis. People are paying 500k for a professional design but here we are dragging an amount that probably isn't up to 50k. Wtf

It can happen in Nigeria.

So if building a multi-level structure you should be concerned about this.

Of course, that does not mean a single-level structure cannot be affected.

You are somehow right,
But there is seismic code or earthquake code adopted by some country to limit this disaster, There are about 5 ways to design building foundation with this code to safe any building or structure.




5 Keys to Deg Earthquake-Resistant Buildings
1–An Appropriate Foundation. Creating a flexible foundation for a building could help it stay standing during an earthquake. ...
2-Seismic Dampers. ...
3-A Drainage Mechanism. ...
4-Structural Reinforcement. ...
5-Material With Adequate Ductility.

but there's what we call seismic design in structures, there are codes to cater for that, if those buildings were up to codes some lives would still be saved, the disaster won't be as fatal.
