Engineers in the house, Is this safe? 😳

Pretty safe. I can see foundation under pinning, erection of additional columns, retrofitting of slabs and columns. This is better than many renovations in Lagos

Columns and beams were well installed in all required areas of the structure. That renovation is a go 💯

Concluding part. Architects and Engineer involved respectively : @TayeAfolabe @Lil_Mohofficial and @miketayoeshorun .

If dem no show you video person no go know anything 😂

But it’s dangerous

This is actually some standard renovation and retrofitting work!

This house is in my street. The most beautiful house around presently. Well designed and reconstructed. Kudos to the designers and engineer of the project.

Definitely safer than the existing building. Steel beams installed horizontally and vertically for load bearing and steel reinforced underpinning. It has all the stamp of a structural engineer’s involvement and direction. The only thing unsafe are the worker wearing slippers on a construction site instead of steel toed boots and no safety helmet. This workplace would be shutdown in my neck of the woods, with significant fines levied on the project owner and the contractor

Yes it is The structural members where properly retrofitted/supported to carry the new model

Over safe. Damn using steel I section beams mixed with rebars. You just can't miss that this building would see several generations

Na Wetin dem dy do all the old houses in Ibadan be this now.

Yeah it’s completely safe. I see new columns being erected and put in key areas. Strip footing to support the already existing foundation, Extra beam at the top slap. Well chained together to avoid cracks. 👏🏼

Just learnt that this building was handled as “Design, Remodel and Build” by one of the “Architects” who worked and trained under me some years ago during his NYSC and shortly after. Proud mentor moment! Cc @Im_Dah_Dhude @Layemie001 @benjamin_ebeye @_OvalDesigns

Underpinning...... yeah it's very safe. Introducing steel pipes to support existing slab while working on the structure is safe. Breaking open the old concrete and installing fabricated iron rod, reinforcing the weak structure is safe.

You saw a large window and you went ahead to build a smaller one are you developer scared of large windows

Perfectly done, rebar were replaced, beams and columns introduced, concrete was removed and reinforced, I suspect they used high PSI of concrete. Foundation was also reinforced, with the Pillars detailed renovation, more extensive than building new. Great job 👏🏾

What you people are doing is more expensive than demolishing and building that house again from scratch

@Abisco__ This is purely Lagos Styles of renovating

Very safe!! The structural engineer deserves some credit. I was thinking they’ll demolish at the beginning

Why not bring it down and start all over

I’ve done this type of renovation before , it’s completely safe , I was surprised to find out the building had no single column in it , it was built in the 80s

This one of the best video I will Watch today

Ewoo

Is it not cheaper to demolish and erect a new building?

I see Introduction of new columns, retrofitting and underpinning... This is good

Nothing is dangerous. They recast the foundation again

The engineer is a competent one

Not seen a much better renovation in a while lol.

Excellent work on the reinforcements.

Over safe Dey worry am Column,structural beams and support 💯

It’s safe but I’m of the opinion we preserve our archaic structures, the reinforced beam, yes, screed and paint This remaking to modern house, naahhhhhh

Great engineering work 👏

e dey resemble surulere

Located at Oladimeji street, Aguda

If the person has money to do all of this why no demolish and start with solid materials. If it’s for the person parents maybe they’re renovating it’s not bad,but if it’s what they want to sell na rubbish.

Introducing columns and foundation pining gave a great reinforcement… hope they followed necessary specifications though. Overall, it’s safe.
