Please i need an estimate for a water tank stand, I wish to build a stand high enough to pump from the tank to my house. Just two rooms, toilet and kitchen.
if it's bungalow, 12ft with a single 1000 gallons tank will be good. If it's a storey building, 25-28ft with two 750 gallons above and another 500 on the middle

Chekitaut:
I felt tears inside of me when reading, its God grace all through. I understand & know my short-coming, i have done all businesses dynamics to be able to satisfy client(s), but something remain unchanged which is Time, I have read lots on how to manage time but something is still missing, All the people i run this business with are more of illiterate, seems not to understand time but money. Various challenges in field of work even as it involves transportation.

From truck owners to Drivers, the only time its can be sweet is when its their personal jobs. If am booked they careless when their job comes in after i
must hv paid for like 3day upfront, they don't understand bridge breach of contract, thats first disappointment.

Condition of the truck is highly important to truck owner & to me aswell, attending to repair of truck is another disappointment. Second disappointment

Driver's condition aswell, If a driver tells you or the truck owner he want to sleep, you don't dare him to force him drive. Third disappointment

Every driver is scared of Police, Road Safety Officer, VIO only the driver that really know the strength of his truck owner is confident to approach any of law enforcement agent, Lagos LASMA worsen the whole matter, more weight on commercial vehicles, this affect confident of drivers. Forth disappointment.

Also traffic on high way and[b] many more.[/b]

But this is not a regular occurance, when one of these aforementioned disappointment comes up, it will definitely affects orders. Putting into consideration the years or the life span of the truck moving the consignment. All still narrowed down to TIME.


To all Builder's or Homeowner's, Don't be in a hurry to mobilise artisan to site when materials is not available on site...

@One4me thank you, i have never taking criticism as the wrong way. I see it as a reflection to correct wherever is required. @Thenext thanks for the recommendation & review. 90tons Granite from us will complete your project.

Check-it-out!
I can relate with your challenges up there. I agree that Nigeria is one wild environment where things dont always go according to plan and l can only pray and wish you more growth and success, in your chosen occupation.
Just keep trying to put in your best and be extremely OPEN with your Customers, they will understand and be considerate. once they come to understand that your YES, is your YES.
It is just like Husband and Wife, once you TRUST your Wife, it odes not matter what happens, she only needs to inform you and you will find a way to accommodate it/her but once there is no trust, no matter what she says, there will always be suspicion and that is where the trouble stars from.
So, HONESTY and TRUST are the two most important ingredient, along with HUMILITY, to grow a business.

I have a very strong feeling you are rebuilding and coming back stronger, dont relent, God is your strength.
Let me go to the funky part:
I know it is not easy to save but 'savings' is the first money we 'spend' (keep aside) when we get salary or make profit.
1) Keep money aside, to build your business.
2) All these banks that see the turn-around in yoru business, can you approach them for a Loan, can you access Govt, business loans, to grow your business?
3) Since you cant afford buying a truck, just like that, can you buy a Smaller vehicle (Bus, Van, Canter, etc) that you can use in running smaller business, so it brings you income that you can now keep saving till it gets to the point where you can use it as a collateral to obtain a bigger bank loan?
4) Are you honest and straightforward enough, to the point that one of these Diasporeans can go into business partnership with you, send a truck down to Nigeria and you operate it on a 40/60 basis (or any other suitable percentage), saving most of your own part and looking forward to either buy-out the Oga in London/America or just build the business more and more, on the basis of that formula?

I am making these suggestions because l think you cannot allow yourself to be subject to all those problems, real problems above. You have to start thinking of stabilising your business and building a name for yourself. You wont be able to do so, if you have to depend on those drivers for the success of your business name. Nigeria is a harsh business environment.

Forgive me for carrying your matter on-top of my head, na those Poisoned Indomie Palliative dey worry me. grin
God bless your hustle, keep is honest and simple.

Where can I get both products sir? I have not painted . Was even thinking screeding done with cement would stop it . Kindly give me the names of the products I dont like tiles on building surface




gbadexy:

If you haven't yet painted it, you could use specially formulated anti growth/algae- fungi paint or water repellent paint or combination of both.
The herbicide would prevent the growth on the surface and water repellent paint would prevent growth as there needs to be constant moisture for the growth to appear and the wall would shed water and get dry with the latter option.
If you have painted the wall already, use concentrated bleach solution to spray it and scrub it off and apply the anti growth paint with water repellent property to keep the surface dry.

I know some paint brands offer products with anti growth property but I can't promote another brand since I own a brand and my products offer both properties.
You could specifically ask for paints with anti growth or anti algae/fungi.
Screeding may prevent it but the binder would have to be much so that it's not porous to allow absorption moisture and it has to be preferably a basecoat or acrylic based screeding materials.
The various bond used to screed are PVA and even on their own don't withstand moisture. If you use them for paint and wet it, it would soften and rub easily when rubbed.
I assume if the plastering was rich in cement and it's dense, you may not experience the growth since it won't allow for water to be soaking much or staying long on the surface.

sad




The other guy in the same estate that used this plan has one of the best structure in the estate. So I guess Ilorin architect are not up compare to lagos architect.

Biko let me live lagos building structure in Ilorin ooo...

Good morning @ibk2020

If people ask questions on this platform and building professionals chose to stay silent, we feel bad.

What did you do to the architect who draw the initial design that you condemned despite all the advices given to you? He’s not a nairalander right and he has nothing to lose.

Whatever you’re doing right now say a lot more about you than Dennis?

Even if Dennis is wrong and you are right, I think you should counsel the young guy and not expect someone like me to clap for you for trying to bring down a young and promising guy - that’s if you know better than him. I noticed even Hajj mufutau55 stepped in.

I chose to go silent on you when I saw your approach. That’s the mistake Dennis made.
Instead of a confrontation, next time spell out terms and condition of your service before going ahead with any client. I repeat ANY

Good to see your project is advancing. More brick and mortar to your project.

Edit: My post is in no way trying to defend Dennis (I dont even know him). I just believe we can do better as human.

For those who’d pick on me, I’m not well o and I can take Nairaland vacation for you to sooth yourself.
