LOW COST HOUSING:
Welcome to Sharp Edge Design Ltd…
In our last post we talked about how
POOR DESIGN can negatively affect the cost of a project, today we will be
looking at another major bane of low cost housing in Nigeria and that is:
POOR WORKMANSHIP:
In the course of our practice, we
have discovered that poor workmanship which
is very prevalent in Nigeria is a major factor to consider.
We have seen situations where the
client is forced to double spend
because of this.
When work that has been paid for is
terribly executed, the client is (sadly so) forced to do the same work item all
over again.
This is an all too common phenomenon
in the Nigerian building industry.
As pedestrian as brick laying is,
you will be amazed at how much extra funds the client will have to spend
to cover the flaws if it is not well done the first time.
In some cases you find that the
plastering has to be about 2 to 3 inches thick (note that normal plastering
thickness should be half an inch) to adequately cover the flaws in block
setting.
We are talking tens if not hundreds
of bags of cement (depending on the scale of the project) not budgeted for.
And that is not considering the
extra unbudgeted trips of sand and of course labours.
When you walk into a space and you
are welcomed by haphazard and poorly executed works, every sense of
appreciation automatically leaves you.
POOR WORKMANSHIP IS THE WORST ENEMY
OF AESTHETICS
In extreme cases, poor workmanship
can result in fire outbreak from poor electrical wiring and even building
collapse resulting from poor plumbing works, etc.
This issue has made it sacrosanct
for us as a firm to subject all of our artisans to a very meticulous scrutiny
to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Be wise!!! Make up your mind never
to be penny wise and pound foolish; always endeavor to do things the right way
especially when it has to do with DESIGN & BUILD because it could sometimes
result in loss of lives.
Please join us in our next post as
we continue with our series on the factors that affect low cost housing in
Nigeria…
