Mr Spyder880,Good afternoon and a big hello to you, it appears you are tactically and technically avoiding to proffer solutions to my simple posers which are stated below. I believe this platform / forum provides the opportunity to pass information and enlighten ourselves, anyway, i am sure no-one is by himself/herself an author of knowledge , as such, no-one has a claim to the monopoly of knowledge.
So can you please:-
1. from your recent knowledge and verse experience tell me the current prices of building materials in Port-Harcourt?
Precisely , cost of a ton of reinforcement bars eg Y8,Y10, Y12,Y16,Y20, Y25, 30Ton of granite, 3/8 gravel/sand, 20Ton of sand. a bag of cement, 2x2 timber,2x3,2x4,3x4 and bag of nail etc.
2. Please how many lengths of these Y8,Y10, Y12,Y16,Y20, Y25 are in a Ton each.
4. Cost of labour per day eg, labourer, capenter, mason, iron bender , cost per day of hiring a concrete mixing machine, poker vibrator machine etc.
You can mail me directly on erinfolami63@gmail.com.
Kind regards

Hi Mr omanzo02,
You have to be careful not to compare European regulations and standards to African's particularly Nigerian building planning and construction standards. The tools available for fire fighting, detection and prevention are rigorous over there compared to what is obtainable in Africa. So, if the European laws demand that you even use two crutches as a mean of escape should there be an outbreak of fire, be rest assured that you will safely be out of the premises within a reasonable time. This is unlike what we have in place in Africa where in an event of fire outbreak, some neighbors will be running helter skelter with nothing in hand but buckets of water while others will be praying but then there is no hope that the fire engine will be at the scene.

Joyconnect: So sorryMr Lawalli, it is for Hajj Mufutau
It is possible to have a second stair within the house, it is a matter of your design requirement as a brief to your architect, i have designed in the past such that we have the 2nd escape stair for the duplex. So it is a matter of your design requirement. There are so many parameters to consider, some clients want this some don't, some will want so many stuff to be on a single plot of land and you then have to accommodate the most important of all requirements.
Mr nothing is impossible.
Hajj Mufutau my contact email is erinfolami63@gmail.com if you want further discussion on this.
Best regards

You are right in the first message. it should be for Mr. Lawalli. I am the one who replied that I have seen second stairs in some houses in Nigeria. So, I am surely aware of such. I don't expect Spyder to disclosed that too.

Thank you bros, and yes I have been tactically avoiding some of your questions because its different from the way I learnt to buy materials. I dont like buying rods in tons, I use unit prices for pcs as you might have noticed in my cost updates at the bottom of each of the stages I completed.

On Labour charges, it depends on a lot of things like;

1. Location of your project
2. Prevailing circumstances
3. Type of work (labour for plastering and laying blocks and serving a carpenter and digging a foundation) can not be the same due to a lot of factors.

Carpenter, mason, iron bender will charge you according to the job of the day, some jobs are more tedious than the others depending on the stage of the project and height of the building.

Vibrating machine, concrete mixer and pokers depends on the distance of your project and your pricing ability. These prices are not fixed.

Thank you and wishing you a very happy working experience my brother.

I asked the question out of curiosity of what I see around and what I believe should be reasonable. I was not expecting spyder to discuss details of his project. In the design I gave to my architect to develop, I didn't consider the idea of second exit. On second thought, I feel it will be better to have another exit.
Re: The Making Of The "Port Harcourt Mansion" by Joyconnect: 2:35am On Aug 19, 2013
Mr omanzo02,hi.
There is no problem with your considering to have the 2nd stairs bro.
If you want it just mention it to your architect and he will rightfully tell you if he can incorporate it into what he has done at the moment in time. Like I said in the previous postings on this issue, there is nothing impossible.
Re: The Making Of The "Port Harcourt Mansion" by Joyconnect: 2:42am On Aug 19, 2013
Oga spydo,
Please tell me the unit price of the steel bars as you learnt to buy as well the other items I requested to serve as a guide. Less I forget,the site is somewhere in Aluu.
I will so much appreciate it if in your kindness you find the time to grant my request.

Hi tundysho,
I perfectly understand that;
1. You are entitled to your opinion.
2. You are not far from treading along the path of fallacy of hasty conclusion.
For these reasons I will suggest you read a tread of discussions exhaustedly prior to your spilling out your personal opinion.
For your information, spyder works in port harcourt and he is familiar with what I am concerned with, he has been posting on this platform even after my 1st request for information on this subject.
Ever heard of this saying that no one has the time for anything except things of particular interest. The information I require are tools he works with everyday and should not be far fetched and if anyone is willing to share a tool that is always at hand, it should not really take ages.

Damn! All these works are very nicely done.. professionalism is what I call it. Everything is just rhime and smooth.
Just look at those nice curve windows and those nice thick strong front pillars, will be nice for a good facade design.
I ran out of adjectives to describe this work. Just keep up the good work..

Before we continue, we must give the owner of this building all the credit for first dreaming up this design, incorporating it on paper and having the patience to explain it to me and my team. He is really very attentive to details.
