Hi all,
The construction industry is quite expansive and is not just restricted to residential and commercial houses...there are other areas directly covered by it like Dams construction, Bridges construction, Roads construction etc. Each of these requires unique expertise and have their own distinct challenges due to their very nature and complexity.
Nobody has ever posted anything on actual Construction challenges and experiences here in wazua, except for general real estate issues which to me are quite different from construction.
@ vinii,
I will ask you a question....if i went to a hardware to buy cement, i would buy Bamburi or East African Portland cement and i would not touch Nyumba cement even though it is cheaper than the former two..Why? mystries of construction no. 1
@ sober,
I will ask you a question....If you were to construct a maisonette and you are to reinforce the first floor slab by steel reinforcement, you will spend about 40% more by using plain reinforcement compared to the twisted type yet the price is the same...Why is that? mystries of construction no. 2
@ conquestador,
A question for you...We have more than 7 different kinds of sands that the dealers sell to us in Kenya today. which sand would you use for the plastering purposes? mysteries of construction no. 3
@ Wazua Team
A question for you too..If you are constructing a small fish pond or swimming pool, how would you know that you have bought a genuine waterproofing cement and not a fake one bearing in mind that about 90% of volume in sales are fake? mysteries of construction no. 4
All in all i believe there are so many issues related to construction that have never been raised or addressed here in wazua forum and the above examples are just but a very small number...i think as long as we will not have this category we will still be left with very many of our construction questions and challenges unanswered.
...besides, the presence of a safe alone does not signify that there is money inside...
