You even get to do your drainage and construct your own access road.

WorldAmbassador:
@bixton. That's the idea. Only to reap profits. I still have not received my prepaid meter that I've paid for over 3 years now. I guess every homeowner is a government-you depend on yourself for electricity(generator or inverter), water(thru borehole).

Daboomb:



That gets faked too!
Go to that thread where SON destroyed so many fake cables.
Most of them have the etched signs of those companies on it, yet they were fake to the core.

twinskenny:


the best bet still remain to buy from the factory. might costlier than outdoor vendors

EgunMogaji:


Well, that sounds good but not all of us are near the factory.

I'll have to suffer this when I wire the main house.

Enter Lagos - shudder

kopell:
Haba, why do you have to near the factory to buy cables from Colman? Colman doesn't sell to individuals, it very simple go to one of their distributor pay collect you ricepts pick up your cables at their company production line to avoid being shots change.

twinskenny:


yeah coleman factory is @ishagamu close to the interchange the other one is close to my house ibafo

not even in lagos

EgunMogaji:


Mate, if I have to pass that Ijebu Ode bypass on the expressway then it's Lagos for me and I start breaking out in sweat

Your location determines how favourable the price is plus the price variations are not that much especially for naija tiles. The ones you get at expensive price in Mushin are the imported ones.

bixton:

It's all about weight and nothing more. Having the same price has nothing to do with it. We may only argue if the price difference is insignificant at all depending on the quantity involved.

These are the various prices in my location a couple of days back when I purchased.
16mm-------3500
12mm-------1900
10mm-------1250
8mm---------1050

Do the calculations as against the quantity per ton and see which favours which and who it favours.

This too much talk around this issue, if I were you, I will present something educative on 3 D design instead.... People will learn to trust you and your competence thst way.
This thread thrives on the good will of people who are willing to impact positively on the local community here without thoughts of primary economic gains.
Look at @spyder880 for example amongst many other eminents ... Using his projects as example He says what does, how does it, how much he does it, maybe how much it costs him etc... People ask genuine questions and they get helpful answers on his projects and their personal projects....
What is/are the secondary gains?
1. They have built a good reputation.
2. They will obviously enjoy the goodwill of the thread
3. They may have increased patronage.

All these are achieved without a single word of advertisement. It is all interactive and about helping people.

Timtol:
This is not my project only saw it around here n want to use it to enlighten all nairalanders willing n aiming to build.


Put,don't try to do this,it's life cost.
Imagine if an heavy rain bits hard like that of lekki n other streets even other states,d building is in trouble.
Part of the house might b flushed away.


Solution.


A solid concrete wall is needed to be made around all predicted areas in the stream n d fence along or some feet n inches left.
Pls,let's all architects advice well no matter how adamant some clients might seem.
We deal with lives n must never try to meddle with it lives.

EgunMogaji:


What the Architect drew and what the owner and builder built could be two different things.

I made educated changes to my architectural plans. My architect cannot be held liable because there's a disclaimer in the drawings that says he is not liable for projects that he did not supervise.

As far as I'm concerned, the whole plot should be eased by the local government.
