Sorry but why don’t you feel comfortable with your builder (a professional) haaa, unless may be he is not what you called him.

Lol... Well I'm not an expert, but I see most buildings here with 9". I felt 6 would be the minimum recommended. If there's no problem using 5, it's alright... Since there are columns.

The price of wood has not really increased that much I'm a wood dealer in Delta State and currently wood price has dropped..

The above suggestion are nice but I don't believe it has come to that.

Let me help u, what is the size of decking? i will give you new marine board full sheet @ half price then take away after use. No cutting, 4nails on each board. you get wood 4 beam from 1x12 you buy.

Wood is difficult in market now. i doubt if u will see only if you hv a construction site near you, Carpenter will delay service if he is to bring wood & you will hv to buy damper proof to get good result.

You will need 62 flat sheet of marine board.
can we discuss privately? I’m interested in this deal

Goodmorning,


depends on your budget and you choice of finishings.

flush door....framed wood covered with thin layer of either plywood or MDF board.

skin door... it is best to frame the skin door with treated wood (parkingcase)

panel door.... the panel door has varieties and will require spraying for proper natural finishing

HDF door: this is about 3 layers of board bonded together to form the door....

NOTE: wooden doors are stronger and more expensive than foreign doors

Please I am new here.

I want to ask how much can roof a building of 34ft by 27ft.

I think I did the conversion to 90m²(not sure I got it right)

I intend to use Longspan aluminum

And the roof plan is simple.

Please help

Thanks for this. I will be glad to have the referral to the smart surveyor. I don't know how the PM goes here.

We have discussed this issue before.
The fact that a Professional body issued a price guideline, does not mean that is what Customers will pay or you should charge a Customer.
It is like when the Pepper Grinder Association just wakeup one day and raise dthe price of grinding Pepper to #100, no matter how small it is.
Smart Pepper grinders recognise that if you charge too much as your association suggested, you wont get customers and you will still have to pay Association fees but the smart ones will look at your Pepper and say, 'Okay, it is small, l will take #50 for this' and before youknow it, theyhave made a lot of money while the ones still insisting on Association price, are still yawning and waiting for their first customer.

I had a similar issue with my Welder.
He said their 'Association has said anytime they go to weld anything in a Customers compound, they must charge a minimum of #5,000, no matter how small it is. Because he has been working with me for awhile, he came to do the work (just to use fire cut a Padlock that we misplaced the key. One other welder who overheard our discussion when l said l will only pay #2,000, went to report him and their Chairman came to carry his Welding Machine, just infornt of my house, as the guy was about to leave.
Well, l ensured the Chariman and his assistant got locked up and chargedfor stealing. Apart from bailing themselves, they also paid for the fiancial loss' suffered by the Welder. Now that is an extreme case, l just dont like their overbearing attitude and l was determined to remind them that joining a Union is voluntary, by law. They have left him alone since them.
Unionism should not be solely to extort the Client, all fees should be reasonable.

There are Surveyors who are smart and will do a Plot for less than #400K, l know a few and it is genuine (that is the bargaining excuse they greedy ones use, they scare the customer that if it is cheaper than what their Union prescribed, it wont be registered at Alausa! Bullsheeet). I have used them twice in the last two years.
The person requiring a Surveyor can send me a PM and l will give him numbers of Smart Surveyors who will do it for #300K/Plot.
If you ask these #400K Surveyors why it is #400K, their best defense is That is what the Institute Prescribed or that is the standard fee!
Who says it is the Standard fee and what right do they have, to impose such exhorbitant price on Clients?

Matte or satin depending on your budget and preference for sheen.
They are flat coat with low to high sheen.
