Civil & Structural Construction in Lagos, Nigeria
Building construction from foundation to roof for homes, terraces, commercial buildings, schools, churches and estates across Lagos.
Overview
Zemasik carries out civil and structural construction for residential, commercial, religious and educational buildings. The work runs from site investigation and earthworks through substructure, superstructure and roofing to external works.
Civil and structural construction covers everything that holds a building up: site investigation and earthworks, foundations, the reinforced concrete frame, floor slabs and staircases, blockwork and the roof. Zemasik carries out this work for homes, terraces, commercial buildings, schools, churches and estates across Lagos.
Good structural work starts before the first block is laid. The ground conditions, the foundation type and the structural design decide how a building performs for decades, which matters on Lagos sites with soft soil or a high water table.
Scope of work
- 01Site investigation, setting out & earthworks
- 02Foundations: strip, raft, pile & pad
- 03Reinforced concrete frames, slabs & staircases
- 04Blockwork, plastering & screeding
- 05Roofing: timber, steel trusses & long-span sheets
- 06External works, paving & boundary walls
What to consider in Lagos
- Ground conditions change sharply across Lagos, from firmer ground on parts of the mainland to soft, waterlogged soil near the lagoon and the coast, so the foundation is chosen to suit the plot.
- Rainy-season downpours make drainage, site access and the order of work part of the structural plan.
- Approvals from the relevant Lagos State authorities are needed before building starts. Confirm what applies to your plot with your project team early.
- The quality of concrete, reinforcement and blockwork depends on supervision on site as much as on the drawings.
