Wiring first before POP. Make sure your house is secure before you start the cabling

Main entrance door must be in place.

Window or very strong burglary must be installed.

Remember cables is very expensive now so don't give room for thieves .
flesh and blood didn't reveal those to you

There is a mechanic property test for steel. Among the mechanic property tests are yield strength, hardness, ultimate tensile strength and percentage elongation. Ability to elongate is not the only criteria. Aside that, the % carbon and magnesium of the steel gives slight difference.


The mechanic property of steel can range between 384-500 N/mm2 and not a constant.

Lastly, l stated that so long as local the steel is certified, it's good to be used.

What's are you disagreeing?

Ultimate tensile strength and yield strength are the most important for the design of a concrete structure. And the minimum recommended is 400n/mm2. So if you say local can carry more load and it has a lower tensile strength then you contradicting yourself sir. So I don't agree it can carry more load.

Chai, l know you have German Shepherd, I guess your Dog's were not yet in your building when those thieves visited your site, more German Shepherd should be put on your site if possible >>(my unsolicited advice)

I don't mind having 7 Rottweilers and German Dog's on any of my buildings in Nigeria plus A pistol under my bed + Cctv camera everywhere, once l hear all my Dogs barking, l will wakeup like James Bond and Get ready to send any bastard thief to the great beyond.

My settling down full-time in Nigeria will depend on several factors and SECURITY WILL BE MY NUMBER ONE UTMOST INVESTMENT, security within and around were l sleep will be of utmost importance to me than anything, Stop them before they stop you is my Policy grin

I have Dobermans at my residence. Where the thieves broke into was at my site in Omi.

Security is definitely important and I have several layers of that at my residence.

It's a shame that the government can't/won't sort out the security issues.

The limit is money.

With enough money a 100 unit of flats can be built if the soil is strong enough to withstand multi story structure.

What about packing space Sir? I think the unbuilt space could also play a role in the type of structure that should be built. Another factor to consider would also be the types of structures within the neighborhood.... multistory buildings may not be allowed in low density residential areas.

I think you may have to be more specific about what the 140k covers to get a reasonable reply here...for instance, does it cover both external and internal plastering? Does it cover window and door dressing? Are they plastering concrete fascia as well or under-decking? Is the plastering going to have designs or just plain plastering?
