I see, a few pages back, Gbadexy offered you a collabo. I would jump on it if I were you, if only to learn how to better communicate with potential clients.

You may be in the right but this tone will put me off as a potential client, in what is a simple case of miscommunication.

Good luck.

Muyi002:


What I did was half dpc with DPM put round the tip blocks. See attached for why I meant as half DPC.

It was later I floored the building. The cost is also captured.

Please if u are a vendor here, so long u have no intention to defraud people, do not let anyone intimidate u or call u any unprintable names. No one have the right to call u fraud, if no fraud case has been presented against u by any member here. Because u seek patronage doesn't mean u should accept any bullshit thrown at u.

bobkezel:

To go off grid is expensive, else all of us would have...

RipVanWink:


Wow, that cheap.
How come its cheaper than "asbestos"
Or couuld someone confirm the price of the old ceiling board calleed asbestos in nigeria.
Cc Egunmogaji

Pop is out of it, as itss an old village house, being renovated, it could leak or something happen.
Any suspended ceiling installer in imo state??

Also the roof is shed roof, so no space inside the roof to enter and work. I hope it wont be an issue, as i recall seeing suspended ceilings inside caravans.

EgunMogaji2:
In regards to solar, I recommend to my customers that they shouldn't go off grid as a first step because it will be overwhelmingly expensive.

A good start is a hybrid inverter with matching panels and batteries to power devices from dusk to dawn. With a hybrid inverter you can still plug in NEPA and/or generator - the system I sell manages the most effective connection for you.

So you can use NEPA during the day and then switch to full solar at dusk (programable).

Then as time and funds goes on you can start adding panels and batteries. At the same time you can start reducing your consumption. For example changing your devices to more efficient ones. Lights bulbs to lower wattages, etc

The best thing about solar is its upgradability and scalability.

It’s really expensive to go completely off-grid.

A ballpark figure to go completely off-grid will be around N4,000,000+ for a 4 bedroom bungalow.

So we can see that the used Mikano dealer will still be in business for a long time

Bought 200 Cement at N3,000 (incld’g delivery) in Ibadan yesterday.

Got same offer, Greenville Badore but yet to be supplied.

30 Tons Stonedust (Ibadan) - N72,000 yesternight.

I can understand price increase for imported goods. What I can’t understand is the price increase even for those materials in which the country is self-sufficient.

How have you been coping with the rising cost of materials at your end?

EgunMogaji2:


I paid N3,100 including delivery for 25 bags. Wanted to buy more but was rationed. That was a N500 per bag increase for me.

I now understand why you guys build a site storage store. I’m already looking for a 20” container to use for that.

What hurt me more was the lower exchange rate

But then back in California the state gives you a rebate on solar products and the power company gives you rebate on efficient devices.

Its a no brainer using generator in this day and age by an avg nigerian.
I detest gen noise.

Part of the reason is that the renewable energy biz juust like other sectors in nigeria is unregulated.
Clowns fronting as installerrs, who make a mess of things, making people to believe solar doesnt work.

My folks the in the village has been hving 247 light since 2013 or so all thanks to solar, as phcn is non existent there.
4 batts, 8 panels, 1.5kva inverter.
Fridge runs 8am to 4.30pm daily, controlled by timer socket

@ 20ft container, am interested as well, prices am seeing are quite discouraging, plus transport cost. As lagos seems to be the epicenter

MrOkenwa:


The instability in the prices of materials is very discouraging. Upon reading baba eegun's comment about possible increase in price, I immediately called chekitout if he could supply 120 bags but he told me that he was not available at that time. I was able to buy 100 bags from the neighborhood, at the rate of 2,650 before they stopped selling to us, based on suspicion.
My target is 200 bags. I'll see if we can get more today, before they hike the price in Abeokuta.

coldcandy:


300k may not put you off grid except its a minishop or one room apartment without fridge or AC.
The Inverter shud be about 70k.
How many batteries?
How many panels?
Cost of other accessories....

RipVanWink:
So trying to put ceiling in a kobo kobo project.
Its btw pvc and "asbestos".
I dislike pvc, but it appears cheaper than asbestos.
I am yet to do a market survey, but heard 1 board is 1.2m x 1.2m about 3k.
Have not measured the area, but sitting rm is 14 x 12ft, 3 br 12 x 12ft, toilet kitchen, bathroom 8ft x 8ft.
Veranda has 3 sections 10ft x 7ft, 10ft x 7ft and 16ft x 7ft.
Can someone give me a fair cost for labour and materials.

Also electrical wiring, whats a fair figure for workmanship..
3br bungalow imo state

BIGGIE121:


wow!!!! N72,000 for 30tons of stone dust, that's very cheap compared to the amount we pay for 30tons of stone dust here In Ilorin.

In Ilorin here 5tons of stone dust goes for N13,000 minus transport, so we buy 30tons for 78k+ transport 30k =108k for 30tons in Ilorin.

how did you go about buying 30tons of stone dust for 72k in Ibadan
