Roger Greeno's Principles of Construction

Roger Greeno's principles focus on creating buildings that are practical, safe, and economical. The main idea is that construction should follow a logical sequence from planning through to completion, with careful attention to materials, labour, and costs.

These principles emphasize that builders must understand soil conditions, weather patterns, and local building codes before starting work. In Nigeria, when constructing a residential building in Lagos, contractors must consider the sandy soil type and heavy rainfall, which means using proper foundations and waterproofing systems. The principles also stress using locally available materials where possible to reduce costs and transportation time.

Essentially, Greeno teaches that good construction comes from respecting the natural environment and planning every step carefully. This prevents expensive mistakes and ensures buildings last longer.

💡 Exam tip: When answering questions about construction principles, always explain how they prevent problems rather than just listing the principles themselves—examiners reward understanding over memorization.
