Construction mistakes you need to know ,

I want to open your eyes to some residential building construction mistakes in Nigeria you need to avoid.
In our 7 years experience as a construction company, we have repeatedly encountered these residential building  mistakes and advice clients against them.
Poor Budget Planning
This is the most recurring residential building mistake in Nigeria. People begin their dream house construction from a design perspective, rather than from a
financial [budget] perspective. The erroneous assumption is to design the best dream house for yourself and then look for the
money to build it. While this may sound nice in theory,experience has shown us over and over again that this approach to building your own dream house does not work.
Rather, statistics shows that this is the number one reason for most abandoned or uncompleted residential building
construction projects in Nigeria. Instead of looking for money to implement your dream house design, we advise clients to design
their dream house based on their budget.
In other words, we take a budget-to-design approach to construction rather than the popular design-to-budget approach that increasingly leads to project abandonment. For us at Curtis Construction Nigeria Limited
our goal is to see that your dream house project is completed with the available budget within the agreed timeline.

Choosing the Wrong Building Contractor.

So many factors determine the kind of dream house you end up building, we’ve just identified poor budget planning.
Following poor budget planning is the choice of a building contractor.
A contractor is like a medical doctor, making a wrong decision is costly both in cash and in kind. What is lost is nothing compared
to what you think you might be saving. Apart from the very obvious headache that comes with hiring an unprofessional building contractor for your dream house project, the
future potential loss of lives and properties that follow in the event of a building collapse is unimaginable.

THIS IS A WARNING ABOUT BLACK MOULD _A DESTROYER OF HEALTH _AND ADVICE REGARDING IT! Black mould is a silent killer.  It destroys the immune system.  Be careful to eradicate it from your home. Black mould makes people sick.  From respiratory diseases to sinus pain to sleepiness to pain in joints and, as some researchers have found, on to MS, cancer and more. Kurt and Lee Ann Billings wrote a book called “MOLD: The War Within” that is recommended. They are survivors of Hurricane Katrina and began researching mold and chemical exposures after their family became gravely ill from resulting toxicity.

NIGERIA'S NEEDS TO KNOW THIS.

Why do we have moisture stains and weeds on the body of buildings? What was supposed to have been done that was not done? We do not give attention to construction details in this part of the world. There is what we call rising damp, especially when building in a water-prone environment, where the level of water to the surface of the ground is very close. We call it high water table level. It is easier for the water to rise through a process we call capillary action into the fabric of the wall. The wall will now absorb the water and it will keep rising up to the space where the people are living and because when the water is in the wall reef, the process of drying up and taking up water simultaneously will give rise to what we call algae growth, either externally or internally, causing green coloration on the wall because of dampness. That will give room to what we call sick building syndrome. A situation where when you are in a house you feel like the heat is so much that you ca...

CHALLENGES IN THE DAMP AND WATERPROOFING INDUSTRY IN NIGERIA.

With increasing prospects of infrastructure development and project implementation  the Nigerian da mp and waterproofing industry is  lagging behind . With vertica l ia sation increasingly becoming the mantra across Nig eria , repair and redevelopment has evolved as the need of the hour for the ageing and deteriorating structures. According to a study on international standards by Global Research Market, if the average life span of buildings  is more than 100 years globally in Nigeria it  is barely  20-25 years. There is a serious requirement for intervention from  high end construction chemical solutions to prevent the deterioration of structures and to strengthen new construction activities. Thankfully enough  there is now urgency in the building business  inculcate best practices  in terms of the usage of the right construction materials   along with the  proper dosage and  techniques  to build healthy struc...
