Knowledge Sharing_Building Construction_Post_01: Building Construction: Challenges Behind the Progress Every construction project tells a story. From the outside, people often see the finished structure – a strong building, a shining tower, or a functional space. But what they don’t always see are the challenges faced along the way. In building construction, nothing ever goes exactly as planned. Some of the common challenges include: • Unpredictable site conditions – what’s underground is often more surprising than what’s above. • Weather delays – one heavy rain can set back days of progress. • Material shortages & price hikes – balancing quality with budget becomes a constant struggle. • Coordination among teams – engineers, contractors, workers, and clients must all stay aligned. • Safety concerns – ensuring every worker goes home safe is the top priority. These challenges don’t make construction weaker – they make it more meaningful. Every completed project is proof of teamwork, problem-solving, and persistence. As engineers and builders, we don’t just put bricks together. We deal with uncertainty, make tough calls, and keep pushing forward until vision turns into reality. #Construction #CivilEngineering #ProjectManagement #BuildingTheFuture #EngrMazid

6 COMMON MISTAKES DURING BUILDING SETTING OUT AND HOW TO AVOID THEM “When Your Wall Looks Drunk… It’s a Setting Out Problem" The setting out stage is like the compass of your project. If you start wrong here, the whole building will suffer. Sadly, many people still make these costly mistakes. 1️). Wrong Baseline – If your reference line is wrong, the whole building shifts out of position. 2️). Poor Squaring – Ignoring the 3-4-5 rule or Pythagoras theorem leads to crooked walls. 3️). Bad Measurements – A small tape error or not double-checking can completely distort your building size. 4️).No Profile Boards – Using pegs too close to trenches makes you lose reference lines once excavation begins. 5️) Encroachment – Not confirming boundaries may push your building into someone else’s land. 6️) No Professional Supervision – Allowing untrained hands to handle setting out = guaranteed mistakes. GOLDEN RULE: If You Get The Setting Out Wrong, The Whole Project Goes Wrong. Accuracy + Supervision = Strong, problem-free construction. #NUELARConstructionTips #BuildingRight #SiteMistakes #CivilEngineering #StructuralEngineering #ConstructionLife #BuildingSafety #ProjectManagement #NigerianConstruction
