earthrealm:


whats the name of that rubber mat, and where can one get such?..whats the cost too.
though am wondering if one put the nylon/tarp thing during the foundation stages, if it makes any sense putting this one again

It's called Bitumil ( popularly known as contar) it's the same material you use on your roof or concrete ceiling to stop leakage. The only difference is this is specifically made to stop underground water to submerged. It's rubber that can be burn into liquid.

I bought this from Idumagbo Avenue in Lagos island it's about N11, 500 per roll of 10 msq. You also need to buy the primer for about N9k per box.

Hajji Mufutau,
I am one of your "coded" followers on here, I have read almost all your construction topics and contributions.
I want to ask for your insight on roofing estimates of a 40 x 40 house; framework and roofing sheets.
Does the roofing sheet company provide carpentry work or that is the client's (roofing sheet buyer) headache.
Please, pardon my ignorance.

I think I overlooked this... sorry.
You have to get a carpenter that will give you estimate of the wood needed and buy the wood; the carpenter will then do the wood carcass for you. Same carpenter may be able to give you the square meter of aluminium sheets covering and other accessories to cover the wood.
There is charges for wood carcass by the carpenter and charges for the aluminium covering also by the carpenter.

So you have this:
1. Cost of Wood
2. Cost of Carpenter for wood carcass
3. Cost of Aluminium sheet Coverings
4. Cost of Carpenter for Aluminium covering

Note: Tell them to do the ceiling nogging of 2x2ft at the same time they are doing the wood carcass.

But you can get person like @Princejones who can give you the cost for everything and do all the job.
Muyesky house was esxactly the same size of 40x40ft, so you can look thru his thread to see the quantity of materials he used, but remember the cost will not be the same as cost of everything has gone up since his thread.

Both of mine are not in a proper estate and no accountability takes plave so I just stay on the sideline and watch drama. I no want undue stress.

My tenant wahala is enough. Just yesterday without informing me some of them made alternative doorlock for the pedestrian entrance gate. I decided to let this slide and ask for my key they refused apparently they only installed a 6 keys lock in a 7 flat compound and the organiser feels because he does not owe rent that it entitles him to lock me in and out of the compound.

Was the lock necessary absolutely not as the gate came with 5 pre installed lock points that was never used. All they needed was 1 or 2 or up to 5 padlocks to secure the gate.


mavverick:
Wow. an eye opener.

So here is my own situation, soooort of involved in 2, one established over 5 yrs ago and the other one hmmmmn, after my build finished i met the 2 key players, but before then i knew one of the key players a year or so before.

The first one has bankers, oil workers and ur average high middle class professionals, they have an account in the name of the association, send updates on whatever is happening in the estate, have various committees, have a finance committee who regularly send out state of finance, they have millions in the bank in association money. It works out reasonably well, we get like 3/4 page reports about the last meeting which holds on sanitation days, in fact there is a whatapp group, 2 in fact. one for estate business and one for yanga, i came out of the yanga one coz it was all jokes i didn't find funny and advertisements etc from residents. It works reasonably well, and they have committees like security, power, legal, sanitation, welfare, social etc. In fact their end of year party is always good.

The other one is not an estate proper, things hardly work the main players speak a particular language that i do not understand, and there seems to be come kind of collusion going on. Some of the other none owners that happen to be same tribe as me do not want to have anything to do with the so called association which is like a group of 4 men who want to run things how they like, there is little or no corporation and they all seem to have thier own agenda. One of the 2 things i was able to force them to do is open an account in the name of the association which they didnt do, they opened it in the name of 2 of the landlords grin, and secondly have a whatsapp group so that decisions can be joint rather then 2/3 people exercising control and then coming with money demands.

Last year, there was no light for 6 months, Why ?

Because transformer blew, it took me going on ground to speak to the parties involved, get NEPA on board, speak to the stake holders and forge some kind of peace. Anyway long story. So they asked me to contribute some money, which i have no problem with but i just need to be sure that my kobokobo contribution will be used judiciously and not for personal things, so i said to them that i would like us to start keeping records and have some form of transparency & accountability, they resisted and even told me that if i was worried someone will embezzle my money, i should not donate.

Anytime I ask for accountability & transparency, there is always an argument. So i just resigned from the association. I cant be involved in something like that, and the funny thing is that these guys are lawyers/bank workers, I now told them that is that how they do in thier work place. I donated money for the transformer stuff, but after that I dunno man.

Was this price given this year or was it given last year when things have not that gone off the roof. Iam presently with a quote of 25k per meter for stainless steel staircase railings. @Hajji, do you have any ideal on current price.

So you mean you pay them security dues and you are happy for them to use your money to chop fish or buy jeeps ? What does staying on the sideline mean madam (payment or no payment), if i may ask.

In as much as nobody likes wahala, I feel its good to also draw a line between what is acceptable and what is not, what is always wrong with some people, things they know are utterly wrong, yet they still feel its right to do it. If thats how they have no accountability at work, next thing thier work will drag them to ALAGBON in ikoyi there. Why is it that some feel they can take advantage of others ?

As for your tenants, I think someone needs to read the riot act to them before they take complete control.

Good info. But the Legendary Mr. Trumpcoat who happens to be a friend has been dead for over one year now. The family did not want it broadcasted then.
But Gbadexy is still here and have been supplying a lot of Nairalanders including myself.

Brothers, a landlord just murdered his tenant in the Bronx USA last night at 6:30 over unpaid 9 months rent. Learned that landlord actually have took him to court for eviction but the case stalled and had called police for tenant on several occasions for tenant's nuisance. Guy, watch your temper against deadbeats.
