If you are supposed to use a material that will last for 10 years, if you compromise and use a material that will last for two years, there is technology that will tell you when that building will last.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are things that we educate people to deploy, because it is an action for prevention. You don\u2019t wait until when a building is showing signs of collapse which, many times, people neglect,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>Oyelakin, however, commended the efforts of Lagos State Building Control Agency in addressing building safety concerns.<\/p>\n<p>He cited the recent initiative of the agency to demolish 15 buildings at Iponri which were deemed unsafe.<\/p>\n<p>He also mentioned meetings the agency held with occupants of the buildings to discuss the situation and necessary actions.<\/p>\n<p>He stressed the need for monitoring and other proactive measures to prevent collapse of buildings.<\/p>\n<p>Oyelakin emphasised the importance of data management in preventing building collapse.<\/p>\n<p>He said that effective management of data, using technology, was a crucial tool in preventing building collapse.<\/p>\n<p>He said that data could be used to analyse human behaviour, particularly in relation to cost management.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, this means understanding how people make decisions about building projects, especially during economic downturns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
