Isn't this under "Prperty"? ama haujaridhika nayo?

Construction of ....airports?

@ Wazua, I don't see merit in the suggestion - accountants, house wives, teachers, pilots etc etc can all justify to have their space .....even 'Thinkers' wanted to treated as a special group Lakini Ng'o !!

I am with Kaigangio on this.
All you guys in Wazua or elsewhere, whether an accountant house wife etc will want your own abode.

It would be good to have all these posts at one place where one can read all from one point. Its better than having someone post thier thread in Investments others in stocks etc.

Personally, being in this industry I am with Kaiganjo on his/her proposal. You see ladies and gentlemen, each and every one of us live in a product of construction and like Pablo says everyone would like his/her own. It is therefore very essential for us to know the basic rules of construction which we are never taught in schools. Like Kaiganjo said we have engineers and architects in this forum who are very knowledgeable in this field but keep the experience to themselves just because there is no category or forum for which their ideas or challenges could be posted.

Wazua please consider this proposal.

i also throw my weight for us to have this forum

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.

it might not necessarily be named construction, but we need a section to discuss technical issues.. especially technological issues..

@wazua, in case you decide to create this section and separate matters construction, kindly do not forget to include the thread "Questions4architect" in it...it was/is very informative...

Technical Section works for me. It should cover construction of anything from a house to a Local Area Network.
