Site Security Highly Required on all Projects

In the cause of the execution of a site project, there are always going to be security threats specific to that site which can be difficult to manage such as theft of uninstalled materials, equipment and even installed materials, such as copper wire, fittings and pipes that can be torn out of walls, hence the need to prioritize security.

Proper Electrical Design For your Building

It is a new year and a lot of people have great plans of either building their personal buildings or erecting business edifice. Whatever the case might be, I am very sure that electrical services will surely be needed.

Electrical wiring basically doesn’t just involve calling an electrician to do this and that for you, a proper electrical design is needed to help ascertain the necessary load expected in the building and the type of cable sizes to be used with each individual load.

Load separation and proper low energy consuming fittings are also provided in the design to help you consume less power especially in this era of high cost of electricity. The importance of future maintenance cannot be over emphasized, as this design helps maintenance to be carried out at ease.

I usually get amazed when I hear some  people say Electrical Design is only for Big Men or is only used for commercial building. My question is, “Is Electrical Safety reserved for only the big men?” moreover, the cost of this design is quite low, I encourage all to see the need for an electrical design.

A professional advice to anyone with the interest of building this year:

1. Get your property (Land) surveyed and obtain the necessary approval.

2. Meet an architect for a standard building plan

3. A structural Engineer will have to do the structural design

4. Consult an M&E Engineer (Mechanical and Electrical Engineer) to help with the electrical design and mechanical design

5. Get a Quantity Surveyor to assist with the costing of the entire building.

6. With all these ready, get your men to the site to be supervised by a registered Engineer (Civil precisely).

All these looks like a mirage, but I must tell you, it is the best thing to be done and at DELWIT we can carry out the number 4 aspect of the above advise effectively (M&E Design) and we can recommend other professionals to you if you so require.

Do the right thing this 2019, and ensure future safety of all your investment.

Creative Lighting Ideas To Spice up Your Home

Most times when you get bored of your room or your compound what normally comes to mind is to change the colour of the compound or re-paint to get a new appearance. But today, I will like to inform you that with creative lighting you can get a new appearance out from your building.

The following lighting ideas will spur you up, not only the hotels or commercial building deserves these unique lighting but also your home:

Track lights in dark areas or to display artwork.
Once popular in the 80s and 90s, track lighting is making a comeback in unique, modernized shapes and styles ranging from straight lines to curves, spirals and zigzags. Offering infinite adjustment possibilities, it is the perfect solution to illuminating dark spaces without the need for adding additional wiring and fixtures.
 
Add a dimmer switch.
Adding a dimmer switch to any light fixture allows you to easily change the ambiance in a room – and save energy.
 
Low-Voltage Landscape Lighting.
Landscape lighting is easy to add to your home, bringing key features of your compound to life and improving safety around pathways, entry ways and stairs. Low-voltage landscape lighting is particularly easy to install, using a transformer to step-down the typical 220-volts of electricity to a mere 12-volts for efficiency and increased safety in wet outdoor environments. Available in a wide array of styles from pot lights to track and rail lights, pendants, and display lighting in a range of fixtures, lenses, bulbs and beams.
 
String Lights:
Most times, string lights are used either in hotel receptions or during holidays, but these days they are becoming very common in homes usually draped artfully from fences and walls, spiraling around columns and lamp posts, and adorning pergolas and trees. You’ll find them in an array of styles and colors, from throwback Edison bulbs styles to old-school incandescents and the latest energy saving LED technology.
 
Replace visible bulbs in light fixtures with Edison bulbs.
With a unique, antique look and feel, Edison style light bulbs are becoming increasingly popular. Like illuminated art, the warm, golden glow of these curved filaments and bulbs will add instant flair to any fixture.
