Thank you bros.

I really dont like when people try to form Lord over any aspect of life.

We learn, we re-learn because changes occur every day!!!

What's the point of going to Calabar to get 30tonnes for 340 to 350k when it will take 2 days, several task force delays etc to get to PH when I can go just after Akpajio from Odani junction which is a 10minutes drive to get a metered chipping.


I don't buy from Eleme junction because there's no metering.

Please tell him there is a WEIGH BRIDGE at the dump site near Eleme Petrochemical.
U
I rest my case.


U just said it all. Any chipping from Chinese yard crossing aba road is 30k above for transport. Those Eleme bridge chipping get comma ooo. No metering and the other things I can not mention here. That story for another

Is there quarry in PH?

No quarry in PHC, the geology of the area is purly sedimentary and deltaic, no any form of magma intrusion that can give igneous or metamorphic rock.

What the Chinese company do is too bring massive boulders into PHC, crush them to different size and sell.

I really can’t remember but at a point I felt it’s almost cheaper/faster for me to ask chekitaut to bring the chippings for me from South West.


Thanks at sako28 for your response.


Thanks n3xt also.

At Chekitaut using -/+330k as a bench mark according to sako28 for deliveries from Calabar. How much do you charge bringing from the SW to PHC for 30tons since n3xt says yours seems less in price?



Also is there any quarry in Edo State and what's the price difference.


Thanks for all your responses.

This is good!

Pls do share his contact with us. Thanks.

That picture looks so foreign. I doubt if the build itself and the door in question are Nigerian.

Most locally hard wood security/entrance doors in Nigeria, that are well designed and made, usually does not exceed the design and make you posted one time. If you remember that entrance door you posted in front of brown brick wall.

I stand to be corrected by the OP. That door is a usual European design.

Granite(Shippings) is not cheap across states anymore. Price per ton range from ₦3200-₦4000/ton Haulage Services service range from ₦30k above. If naira is face by another devaluation definitely price will raise.

As it is Cement may get to ₦5,000/bag before end of this year.. 2 things we watch for, if Dangote increase cost of production, transporters will also increase ...other manufacturers will follow suit.



At the bolded I read somewhere in Abia State the governor and government is clamping down on anyone who sells above #2600 or thereabout

The world changed already.

Trust me bestest buddy I don't use the Chinese for any sort of quality measurements grin

Your concrete mixer drum is made of PVC (surely you weren't hoping to shock me with that were you Brabus?) cheesy

Lots of things are made with PVC but I consider the application.

The world has indeed changed because we now have the internets for research.

Oga kola, no is not disrespect oo. U are an elder here. I stay in PH. And that the reality we face here. I Just got 25 tones last week from the Chinese company at the rate of 10k per tonne. That why in PHC some people you Periwecule shell to mix cement and sand to cast floor and some little work. What compensate us small in PHC is that will spend less than 150k to get bolehore.


Do people still use periwinkle shells for flooring in PHC.......

Don't sound so sure if you're not sure of something bros.

When last were you in Port Harcourt? I'm telling you I personally used my 2 legs to buy granite and you're insinuating that it's a lie? That's disrespectful please.
Let be peace, no be everything be fight i just said no quarry in PHC & if the price will blow imagination, some1 then confirm is 10k/ton. I now proof you can not buy goods worth 300k and transport for 20k. Sm1 reading your words will think is that easy & cheap.

Pls sorry if my words sound some how, i come in/with peace.

I remember. That’s what nearly prompted me to ask if you can deliver to PH.

The cost is just a part. The road and the task force issh is something else to deal with.
Task force bill will be added to the consignment, client will be responsible unto 5k or 10k i get from delivery i will pay 15k(some terrain). Ha no ooo.

Yes they still use periwinkle shells for flooring and small slap.
3/8 is still available. Some people with strong mind mix 3/8 with granite do decking. But for me that a very bad idea.

2weeks ago i took 30tons to AirForce base @ ₦370k, Elele @₦350k in PHC from Edo, because Calabar truckers are not ready to go.

Chinese control 80% of Quarry in Nigeria, the dump site service in PHC, i heard of it but i choose not to patronise or visit because putting into consideration logistics from wherever they are bringing the stone to crush no economy sense patronising.

Bros, the truth is getting from the Chinese in PHC make lot of sense, no panic no stress. Expensive though but your mind is at rest.
Have order for 60 tones of chippings before from calabar, 30 tones arrived in 3 days but the last 30 tones took a week due to bad road that damage the truck. May God help us in Nigeria. If there was rail all this movement will be much easier.

I love people who are honest with themselves. At a point in one of my personal build, I couldn’t afford POP so I opted for PVC in all rooms but kitchen (I had slab in the kitchen).

A year later, I removed everything and installed POP in every room and screeded even all the walls.

I did that when I know I can afford it.

It’s not PVC that’s bad. Poor installation, lack of good maintenance culture, and trying to cut corners are always the major cause of problems.

PVC is present in various elements, from toys and tools to some construction materials and it’s not as if they just without a cause.

I can still share a ten year old external ceiling PVC installation. It’s still standing firm and solid.


You're correct. I have PVC installed in my house and even in my kitchen from 2010 till date. I even installed the sitting room, lobby and corridor myself when the carpenter don't want to finish my work after collecting money. The quality of the PVC will determine the perfection of the installer will determine.
