@micgray100 while I agree with most of your points! Let's clear this wink




If I were to build a glass shop in Ikorodu! I definitely wouldn't use a breakable glass that can be vandalized! cool grin





@micgray100
Forget being a professional Marketer
You can't be a Professional & you don't know to engage your clients, like you said “your relationship with clients is worst” isn't that awkward?

Well on the other hand «Jobs can actually find you, if your previous job is exceptional & very neat» ! But Most Times hunting for job is the way! (Through Ads, connection & other necessary means)


Finally love that your quote about @n3xt “More than a trained Marketer' he knows how to have positive discussions with his clients!” Perhaps the reason his clients will chose him over & over again! In this Modern Age 'Effective communication & Positive Engagements is Imperative!


Well, what do I know! After all Am Just a LEARNER. grin


SALAM

@ hamtabfawaz

The price of hammerglass won't allow a retail cement seller even think of building such in IKORODU road about.. the price of the hammerglass that will surround the shop is more than the cement stored inside..

Note.. Hammerglass are types of glass used at most entry of banks that rolls out..


The second issue of Proffessionals should also be a good marketer... You know better bro... Proffessionals won't compromise with client to loose their proffessional licence.. proffessional will always tell client the number of stories a foundation can carry.. But the trained marketer would even add more stories to such structure to maximise profit.. just an example..

The general truth is that... Real professionals decline to do small projects like Residential houses because of competition with them baba Latis... they involve themselves with big projects where them baba Latis won't even think to go near...

In conclusion.. I am a trained Proffessional with my B.Eng and Msc in civil engineering and structural engineering respectively.. I am NSE and Coren Certified. I am a Federal Civil Servant in one of the KEY ministries in Nigeria.. I do side hustle too online.. like company formation, general goods movement North-South axis... With the above Vast experience as a proffessional,
My ascertion is that.. Minimalistic building Design Should not be encourage in Nigeria for now as a developing nation..

@ Next... I appreciate your understanding... you are a contractor... I will prefer you maintain running your market in the building industries.. if minimal design is giving to you to construct.. it is your luck...

In 2014, a contemporary lover approached NextHome to remodel some old shops into something modern that’ll also attract higher returns.

As a baba lati who’s always looking at giving value on every project, I designed a floor-to-ceiling glass shops for the client. The rental rate went up astronomically grin grin

It’s 6 years after this project has been executed in the Nigeria that is still developing. The shops has never been vacant for once and I’m 100% confident the client would have recouped his investment within the first 3 years.

Lastly, I’ve not heard reports of break-ins.

Hello here, a 30 tonnes truck is urgently needed for hire to convey cement from Lagos to Sapele, Delta state.

Please note: The truck will be inspected for screening before loading as HSE will verify the truck. So the truck has to be in good condition.

Do send a PM for negotiations and further discussion

You can’t just determine number of item needed without seen a drawing or a physical visit to the site..

Like the 10mm you are not sure of the distance between dp and the change over switch... or you don’t know whether it’s 3 phase connection or single phase

At the bold... Have you been going there for the past 6 years to monitor crime at the site?

We don't need glass house bungalows or shops in Nigeria yet, even in the US where 911 call is very effective, glass shops are shattered during any unrest not to talk of Nigeria that doesn't have police. What we need here is iron gates, burglary and protected ceilings.

The shops were built on the road I drive daily.

How many of those civil unrest have we had in Nigeria in the past one decade?

I’ve not at any point here proposed an all glass shop. Having a large window on shops is almost the same as having a curtain wall in a duplex. You need to do all you can to protect yourself.

Until recently, we’ve all believed we need prison walls to secure us in Nigeria but today most people are doing dwarf and see-through fences.

In Nigeria, we know and understand that there’s always a problem for every solution.

What happened to having the glass properly secured with a roller shutter?

Engineers on this site, can someone advise what type of glass window I will need for the long window to the left please?
Do this type of large windows require special types of unbreakable glass or is it a normal 5mm glass with burglar proof?
Please see attached image of my project

Even though NIGERIA does not have police, a normal 5mm glass with wrought iron metal protector will do this. This has worked for almost 99.999% of duplexes in Nigeria.

This is coming from an unlicensed baba lati builder. Typical examples are shared below.

I know most people living in an unsecured Nigeria will pick Pic 1.

I have nothing to fear or worry about so a transparent wall with a simple slat iron protector has always worked for me.

Good morning Thread, it’s such an amazing time getting to learn a lot on this platform, this is to me more like a request to help in educating us about building roofs for the future of energy

Having been in the trenches of energy production from the sun, and by consistent study on the types of roof people use, I have actually observed they didn’t build with sun energy in mind, because of the slope, slants, geo-coordinates facing, and we should know well that the nearest future of energy generation for buildings is a sole or personal power generation, and the more we are critical about building to get the best energy from the sun the better and cheaper for every building or home, this is why most people spend a lot more than their friends, just because of no future mindedness of their roof as against generation of power from the sun.

I intended to help educate us on how to make the best out of roof styles and choices, before completing our buildings. This is really key, because generating power from the sun requires space, and most buildings don’t have ground space enough to cater for that, all they have is their roof, so why not take this as critical

Can I go ahead with this for the next few days, with detailed information and instructions before roofing buildings to make the best efficient use of it
