Boss good evening.
Pls I will like to ask you two questions and I really hope you are okay with my questions.

For your mini malls
Pls what size (KVA) of transformers do you use
And what is your estimated energy billing per month.

2.
What size of diesel gen(KVA) do you use as back up
What are their average run time per day and estimated cost of running this generators.

I really hope you will provide answers to these questions and they are not too private or trade secrets

Thanks.

rmx:

Nah . Secret is not in transformer and generator sizes

Mall 1 , 200kva transformer . Lettable space about 1100 sqm , initially was suppose to be 110 and 165kva generator . A tenant had load requirement of 100kva so we have 165kva and 275kva there now. Operational

Mall 2 , 500kva transformer . Lettable space of about 3000sqm , 440kva , 275kva , 165kva . Not operational

Mall 3 . 200kva transformer . Lettable space about 1500sqm . 110 and 165kva . Tope just told me we will need upto 200kva based on his load calculation so I might upgrade , not opetatonal

With high diesel prices now , am looking at the possibility of connecting mall 2 and 3 to 33kva for more regular public supply . So I might buy new transformers

I have a facility manager managing mall 1. Contracted it out . Others will be the same . I have all tenants metered. So the bill the fm generates is dependent on the meter reading . It’s a function of public power supply received in the quater and diesel purchased .

A lot will depend on the load requirements of the tenants , not a one size fits all .Hope i helped small

But we would rather patronize South African biscuits.
Would you have used the Ogun state product on that Oshodi Church project?

Greenarrow01:


My questions are now going to be plenty.
I am very very sorry sir.
I am working on something that needs 247 power supply. Diesel gen should never exceed 5hours of usage daily. This is the only way I can make profit.
Now the place I am planning to
Power supply there is 15-18 hours daily. Which is still not okay enough. I might make money, but it won't be enough as diesel will eat into it.

Do you advice I change location or what?
Is the 33kva power those high tension wires or those normal highway wires that connect city to city.
Solar is not also an option.
I have an option of another place that can boost of 20hours of power daily.
But land there is expensive
I am thinking of going the leasing route

Great number of houses that were built in the 70s and 80s were with hand molded blocks. They are still standing while newer constructions are collapsing even before completion.

On your analogy about fence and house, I would think that one would rather use stronger blocks for fence than for a house because fences are constantly exposed to weather elements unlike blocks used for houses which are sheltered.

To be honest, those guys are producing to international standard but those colorful South African bricks are sweeter.

The ones produced in OGUN state are just too monotonous. They were used on Obasanjo Presidential Library.

N3xt try and be a man of honour.
Anyway there are wonderful contractors/vendors here sha, just to recommend those that did good job for me;
(1) Gbadexy- I can’t recognize gbadexy if I meet him on the road but I bought over a million naira paint from him with no issues. A gentle man to the core and produces high quality paint
(2) Hamtabfawaz- Good young man with knowledge. He produced me very nice looking and quality TV console.
(3) Twinskenny- our able twins, did my CCTV and electric fence.
My transactions went smooth with these 3 people, I recommend these guys, they are very good in there field.
NOTE: Chekitaut is a fraudster oooo, don’t fall for his trap.

The ones entering cities I think is 132 Kva , the 33 is more regular than the 11kv , ask any nepa staff or whatever they are called now , if you can locate or get 33 , I will strongly advice it

sonnie10:



The difference in price per square meter might be a lot. The Ogun State I believe would be more expensive.

I just need something befitting for below the belt line here

Stopthecap:

You can't fool all the people all the time...

This similar conduit matter has been raised by other clients of our fraudster lunatic builder before, and the same rambling and evasive answer was given.
Most people should know the difference between conduit work done doing concrete casting/carcass work and electrical cabling....

Our resident fraudster thinks he can always bombard the thread with IRRELEVANT PICTURES AND LONG EPISTLES TO EVADE ACCOUTABILITY...

THOSE DAYS ARE LONG OVER....there will be vigilance on this thread

Not everyone on this platform is a novice...incomplete/shoddy projects abound but will be giving "advice" on the internet...

smh

Go with the South African Bricks. The production is done in the East. I can’t remember whether it’s Onitsha or Enugu.

dongc:
Someone please make it make sense...you have space but you make no savings making blocks yourself .. so just buy it ?

1.how does block industries make money then if the margins are so so small ?...

A.not many of them own dump trucks to save money on sand

B.they mostly buy cement same places you buy.ok maybe a lil cheaper (marginally)

I really love your building. The large windows are a big turn on for me.

Well done. Wishing you all the best.



This won’t be much. You can just ask @blessedsunny2 to ship down to you.

One more thing … if your making money in nigeria depends on having regular public power supply , you have your business strategy wrong
It should be I can make money with running alternate power supply and if public supply is regular , it’s a bonus . Never the other way round

Although for the South African bricks 8,000 per square metre quantity price 7,500 and I also have stone tiles made in Spanish, 7,000 per square meters

topsy23:


We have 11KV and 33KV high tension line. Most of the 3-Aluminium wires run on 9m poles are either 11KV or 33KV line as shown in the picture below.

On 33KV line you are quaranteed of minimum of 18hra power supply per but it will now depends on location these days. But in Lagos there is another power supply company called IPP(Independence Power Project). With IPP you are guaranteed of 20-22hrs power supply everyday.

There is a way you can she's your load by using bigger generator for peak period and smaller generator for the off peak period. Diesel is more expensive these days and its really killing alot of business.

sonnie10:


I contacted them already, the name of the company is Waterock global development in Enugu. They have very beautiful bricks and stones

Greenarrow01:


Thank you very much sir. You have been very very helpful.

Pls last question.

Let's say you run your 165kva generator for 12 hours daily on full load.
How much fuel in litres will you consume per day (12 hours run time) or 6 hours.
Or better still
How many litres does it consume per hour on a full load.

What's the make of your south African bricks?
