Clearly a construction mistake The first was done but didn't meet the required head room so a new one had to be constructed. He might have used baba mulika and sons the first time too. Just like the advice I gave someone few minutes ago. After spending money for land, documentation and approvals. Spend for materials. Why can't you pay a qualified engr to over see your project? Now they can not follow Arch Drawings. Making all sort of blunders left, right n center. Actualization of the project shouldn't be co.promised |

Immatex: Ha. And you feel the structure is safer with twice the load of the staircase on the foundations in that area. Do you know how heavy concrete is and how heavy and essentric staircases are. |

Simpu " na politicians house with excess money". Ever seen a double stair case b4?? ![]() |

Reference: What I see is the load on the old stairs pillar and it’s still a simply ed structure. I am not saying it’s the safest way to do things. I think the building code for Nigeria should be a better guide to determine if this is compliant or not. I suppose it’s an improvisation and an attempt to maintain at the least the existing structural integrity of the building as knocking down the old stairs might weaken the structure and make it collapse risk. |

From the picture,it is obvious the they pushed the building a bit higher,hence the need for the new stairs

Immatex: Lol 😂😂😂😂 Both stairs are newly constructed |

The lower staircase appears to have been done below the standard, and the upper one had to be done to meet the quality standard for safety and durability

Immatex: I think if you observe closely, you can tell that both stairs were made in/around around the same time but obviously one was made before the other. So for me, the one under was made before then may be a better engineer was employed, did some testing and saw that the one below isn't strong enough and then casted the new one above with the hope to take down the one below after further testing. Looking at the pics alone, I think both stairs are not too far apart to be labeled "old" and "new". That's my point lol ![]() |

psychologist:Probably, the Structural Engineer was paid small money. His head was banging, worrying about Nigeria and other Nigerian problems. And he didn't take time to cross check his drawing before sending out. - Typically, the Engineers expect 2 payments. 1. Payment for drawing 2. Payment for supervision. - The client is a miser and thinks he is smart. He will only pay for the drawings and expect the builder/bricklayers to understand everything. He won't pay the Engineer for supervision. So Engineer will not supervise/visit the site and hence. error like this happen. Engineer will just say "Ntor" to the client and run away to think about other Nigerian problems. Waste of money!!! |
