Hello Everyone!

My name is Olaoluwa. I want to say a BIG thank you to the moderators of this thread and to everyone that has contributed on this post in one way or the other. I have learnt a lot on this thread about Landed Properties and Building Construction in general.

Please, don't hesitate to ask all questions regarding Asphalt Paving that you may have. I will try to provide the best answers from my experience in the business.

Thank you!

*I'm having issues uploading work pictures with this post. I'll keep trying!

One Picture is better than a Thousand Words!

Show a few "pinshures" (in Buhari's voice) of the Asphalt Paves you have done.

Let us see and compare it with other forms of Pavings (Bricks, Interlock, Stamped, e.t.c)
Or you can do a comparative analysis for us, so we can see it right-away

Put an "approximate price" to it, per Square-Meter.

Then, we are all good to discuss.

You are welcome here.

Sorry to hear that. How can anyone owe money in this your line of business?

Between, you and my contractor did a marvelous work on my ceilings. I couldn't believe it when I saw the finished work. European Plasterboards rock any day. 9.5/10.

It gives me so much joy when l hear Clients speak well of a Contractor they have actually given a job to (as opposed to hear-say), in this way.

If it pleases you, can you share a picture of your Ceilings with us?

Hello:

I have a couple of questions for you.

1) Can a company/individual stand in as a guarantor in order to waive the requirements above?

2) What are examples of interest rates and deposits required?

Thanks.

I’m on WhatsApp if that’s convenient for you but others on here may find your answers useful.

Ok I have seen it,
1 are they sold locally?
2 is it cost effective?
3 since we talking fire prevention across the whole house do you recon this is cheaper than the kitchen decking? or just preference?
me Im thinking of the cheapest practical way though cos fire nor fit burn decked ceiling though.

1. Yes, they are sold locally

2. Yes it is.

3. If am not mistaking, isn't decking more than 20k/sqm, while a fire resistance ceiling is just a quarter of that. Talk about creating a beautiful ceiling with it.

That's the world I find myself sir. It was my good intention that put me in trouble. At a time when prospective clients believe contractors might run away with their money, or start nagging about how the agreed sum is not feasible after money has exchange hands, I took it upon myself to

a. Receive 50% of the project sum as mobilization fee and the balance only when project is TOTALLY completed .

b. No mobilization fee, then receive payment when project is TOTALLY completed.

I never knew I'd be giving the witches and wizards from my village a chance to be fanning themselves with my photo.

I've just seen these dramatic pictures on nairaland about a burglary somewhere in Delta State.

I come away with two things: nothing will stop determined armed robbers and square rods are not fit for purpose as burglary proof.

So all home security systems and measures are just for the opportunistic small time thief. If there was a dog(s) in that compound, these robbers will shoot the dog from high up balanced at the top of the fence before jumping down when the coast is clear and safe.

Consedering the cost of fencing and all that, these pictures are really disheartening. No need investing all that sum into fencing that could so easily be breached.

We’ve discussed it on here before. It’s mostly a deterrent to the opportunistic robber.

It’s varying and progressively deadly levels of defense that’s necessary.

I like fencing because it clearly identifies intrusion zones if the shyte ever hits the fan.

The only thing I wished I didn’t do are the burglaries.

Also security is a community affair.

l concur, I said the same thing few weeks ago, if you like barricade your fence like Berlin Wall, install all the latest sophisticated security gadgets in and around your home, if robbers are out to get you, they will smoke you out, it is good to do all the fencing but the security situation in Nigeria is terrible, even with dogs, you are not safe except maybe all the home owners within your place of domicile are armed with guns and every one of them comes out blasting there guns if not, you are on your own, 3 of my friends who were robbed, all had gigantic fence and gates and the bastard robbers entered and robbed them, for me personally, I believe regardless of what you put around yourself, safety is of the Lord Almighty and except He watches over a city, state, nation and individuals, the watchmen are watching in vain, this is my personal opinion and conviction wink

Yes, security is a community affair. It takes a village like they say. But the government could do more abeg. The robbers may never be caught despite leaving a hoard of DNA profile. How do you run a country without forensic Lab beats me.
