Actually it shouldn’t be more expensive if you’re buying the materials, because I believe quantity of materials to be used would remain the same whether you’re buying it or they’re buying it. Unless they’re going to buy inferior quality products for the job if they’re to buy materials themselves or they intentionally waste/siphon the materials just to increase your spendings. I don’t know if I made any sense there?

Also can I have the contact information for your connects?

It's not about the number of lights but the illumination to the area of coverage.....

So if you're going for only max of 4 lights ensure the wattage for each bulb gives the required illumination to the area.

Nice design. White painting on the ceiling is the best.

Though you should also not forget to always factor in your own cost in the project.

I love those who wrote down things like “kilishi and bottled-water” into their construction accounting records. It’s good to take care of yourself too.

Welcome March!

I just saw the cctv footage of the horrible gate failure video. It was indeed a terrible thing to watch.

For a gate weighing more than 500kg, there’s need for a better design and good protection mechanisms and guides.

As I always say it “Your installation is as good as the man who installed it.”

On this, we had a very beautiful and expensive gate installed by inexperienced welder and builder. Both of them should be held accountable.

Happy New Month Sirs/Ma's from Perfect Touch Aluminium. Kindly check out our threads. Thanks

Thanks, and also does this quotation seem fair for a one unit of 3 bedroom apartment and 2 units of one bedroom self contain. Total sqm- 230

92 bags of pop cement
80 kg of fibre
3 bunches of banding wire
Wood for scaffold

This quotation is outrageous. For the three bedrooms apartment,budget 27-30 bags while the 2units of one bedroom,budget 30 bags for both.fibre,50-60kg is enough.1bunches of banding wire,then you're good to go.

My Gate Installation

Why the need for so much concrete to install ordinary gate? A 500kg + busy gate (operated on a daily basis) is a very heavy load that common sense should tell us requires adequate support.

If nothing else, just think of how settlement can affect the gate track.

Lastly, my dad told me “Do it right the first time. Don’t turn your house into a burden for your children in the future.”

Pic 2 - My mack dump truck has accidentally reversed into my gate pillars. Guess what? Nothing happened.

If the gate didn’t fall because of installation error, it’ll surely fall because of the size of the supporting columns. As a matter of fact, the whole fence will eventually fall.

____
I’m pretty sure the owner of the build was able to save on the quantity of cement used in pouring the gate columns. He’ll see someone like me who used 26 bags of cement to install my gate as a thief

Well in Sunny Ola’s voice “Eyin lo ku ke mura...”

Eh!! I used to think this way until someone asked me to give a quote for the installation of kitchen tiles in Magodo.

The kitchen size alone is almost 70sqm. Some 3 bedroom apartment with all room en-suite are not even up to 100sqm.

A lot of people are reading this and they’re taking notes. They’ll start asking me “How come my own 2 rooms are more expensive than 5 rooms of Mr X house ”

The lounge and dining of my recent designs are over 75sqm (floor area only). Just 2 rooms.

I’ve never bought anything less than 130 bags of POP cement for a 250sqm build.

You're absolutely right sir. Some Clients would just post materials Quotations by the artisan(s) without giving the specific measurements along side with the Quotations.
