The same with me, I've never paid for granite before delivery so I was kind of surprised in a number of ways when this came up. Surprised that clients pay for granite before delivery and super surprised that checkitaut is this indeciplined to be caught out in this mess. This has exposed him as a middle man he so much preached against. To be honest, there is nothing wrong being a middle man but be deciplined enough to deliver.

If he's a direct supplier, all the excuses he gave for messing up, his union would have sorted out such eventualities. In Delta and Edo States, Road Safety or Police don't disrupt logistics that much. The Union work this out.

It's a shame though because I'm planning on engaging him after the festive period next year for a factory construction project in Ibadan but I guess I now need to go back to the Board of Directors for a revised plan. It's sad. The diaspora should encourage deligent small business owners back home but when you read stuff like this, you just want to give up on the country.

You can engage me. Rest assured of honesty, integrity and fair deal.

No advance payment will be required, only payment on delivery

Pls house, what is the advantage of building on a 60*60 piece of land over a 30*120 piece of land ? Thanks.

The most cost effective design is a square shape design. The longer or narrower a building the more the cost compare with another of square shape (even if the two have the same floor area).

The main reason for this is the perimeter/floor area area. A long or narrow building needs more perimeter wall to enclose the same floor area as a square shape building. There are other reasons that account for higher cost of long or narrow buildings compared with square shape building.


However, there are several factors that determine design and building shape


I hope this helps. If you have more questions/need clarification, go ahead.

For example:
For the square, the total perimeter is 240ft. For the rectangular, it is 300ft. Hence, fencing will cost more. Not to talk about other things

However, I personally prefer the square shape

God shall provide for us all. is not too late to dig septic tank and shockaway. use the laterite for filling. this really helped me including sand dug from well. all were used for filling (the remaining is there to level the compnd after fence).

am still looking forward to how to reduce cost on roofing. i was introduced to someone that would help in getting wood from bush. his price will definitely less to shaw mail price. and the higher the king post the higher the corresponding cost.

my opinion

You're correct. Cost reduction on roof is mainly on lowering the kingpost to reduce the area of the roof covering and carcass.

You can also negotiate well in terms of labour.

Or you go for more economical roof covering.


But, please don't compromise the standard of the wood you want to use for the roof carcass/structure. If possible, treat them with solignum to prevent termite/insect invasion

So this bungalow has been basically completed but the drainage wasn't taken to consideration during the foundation stage. It drains back to someone site( not yet developed though). It was a sloppy land backwards really. What can we do now to drain forwards to the gutter? If we fill the rear, it Will encroach on the entrance. Urgent advice needed sir

where is your location? use underground pipe of big size(diameter) with drain surface along the line. it will be bury like water pipe, channel it to the nearest public drainage. even others can link up if properly done.

@bold i don't understand?
Seems ur dpc is very low
Maybe u can construct an L shape gutter from d back channeled to d front gutter to direct d water forward with a slope. The gutter should be covered with metal slab having openings
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by thaqib(m): 5:56pm On Nov 10, 2019
@rubiish, the dpc isn't very low, but the front is a little high than the back. So for the compound to drain forward, the filling at the back will have to be quite high..
I got ur advice though.

Good day House.

Please I am planning to continue my building. the last I did was the lintel, now am contemplating filling or doing the roof, please what is the best for me? filling or roofing?

if filling, any special ways to reduce cost, its a very simple and small 4 bedroom building with square shape. I learnt I should dig septic tank and use the sand to fill first. if its roofing, any special ways to manage cost?

Thanks as I await your professional responses.
. Ur budget will determine the next step out of the two i.e the cost for filling and soakaway/ spetic tank is not up to what you will use for the roof.

It’s never too late now that you are in foundation stage.
Go and look for a professional to handle the project for you.

About your neighbor issue many thing can cause it, low foundation level, poor job, etc,
Quack can not solve the problem let him or her search for a reputable personal in build industry I.e builder to solve the problem once.
