@KolaShangOne mentioned me, would ve commented on this but i normally don't check-in here as often again.

If it's the Obada along Lagos Expressway, possibility of a successful drill using Indian machine is 30% simply because of the thick overburden layer before basement rock.

The charges they gave you is fair considering the cost of materials for a good job.
Thank you sir. He took 1.6m based on some mutual agreements, including this 30% chance that you mentioned.

Biztech05:



Borehole in Obada oko is terrible I have ongoing project inside federal housing after spending 1.650m still no water.

I will advise you to prepare written agreement with the driller then strategize your mode of payment. To avoid issues and to be on safe side. Which you safe!
Yes, different discouraging stories everywhere.


Update
I did this one yesterday evening.
None of the drillers that I contacted gave me any assurance beyond "we will do our best".
The one that took the job insisted that I provide a representative that knows about borehole drilling. Should things go the way I don't like, this person will bear him witness.
There was about 40 meters overburden. They struck water at around 110 meters and they terminated the drilling at around 120meters.
26 pcs of thick Lombardy casing pipes used. I'm awaiting the installation of the pumping machine today.

diordaves, folmus. Thank you for your response and advice.

If an independent contractor presents themselves as an expert, they should not need supervision. If the client could do it himself/herself, they would not have hired him in the first place. How can you pay a professional and still be expected to supervise him?

If a trades person needs supervision, they shouldn’t be out there taking work that they are not competent to do. Instead, they should be working under a supervisor aka Oga.

I have enough units on the meter but the supply is not stable because of low current. Imagine all the houses around you having electricity but you're burning fuel not because PHCN disconnect your line but because your meter is not supplying.

Bros, have you resolved your meter not supplying? If yes, how did you do it? I am currently having the same issue. It is getting to 3 weeks now. @ justified007

cash1115:
not an aggressive one, but am just been sincere, some clients are just annoying, imagine a client telling you to come for immediate work. She agreed with the price and ask me to come to edo she is much ready getting there without asking her a dime she said am a scam. The only reason she gave is that I didn’t call her before coming in the morning after we agreed in the night. she told me if she is not ready she won’t contact me infact I remember she told me to bring tools and my workers so we start immediately. Getting there I called her and she blocked my line only God know how I survive that scene

You should have your own working rules and protocol. At least a commitment must be make before traveling to work for someone out of your environment. Clients have their own experience and same thing as vendors/artisan.

Good day everyone, do you guys remember this building I posted sometime and asked if 10M would finish it to turn key ? (Pic 1)

Well, here’s an update on the progress, so far approx 7M has been spent on 2 couches, Paraphet casting, front pillars, roof and rain gutter, alluminum windows and burglaries, plumbing and electrical piping and purchase or wires (kept at home till finishing stages)

Plastering is on going and bricklayer charged 550k for all, fence inclusive *crying*

We are left with pop, tiling, doors, soak away and fittings.

Now my question is;

The building before this project sharing a fence has thier generator house attached to the fence and somewhat disfigures the entrance, also I would like to do an electric fence all round.

How does one go about this? Is the owner of the building supposed to adjust the cover and limit it to inside his compound or there’s nothing we can do since we met them there ?

Also, please note that this generator house is at the backyard of the building. That is; mine is facing the opposite direction.

Your inputs will be appreciated.

How much did you spent on parapet alone? I would appreciate if you would give me a breakdown of it.
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Twostep: 1:23pm On Sep 09, 2022
Carpenter workmanship : 150k ( 4 steps Paraphet)

Wood : 350k approx

Iron: 370k (I had some on ground already. Note: pillar had irons too)

Cement: 50 bags at 3,850 to site from twins Faja ( remained about 12-15 approx I think ) - 192,500

Welder workmanship: 50k

Sharp sand: 125k approx

Bricklayer charges per day 5k and 3k for laborer.

Granite: I had this on site already so I’m not sure what the cost is.


Not sure if I’m omitting anything but that’s about the rough estimate I guess

I believe plastering the fence will resolve this, hence they'd find another way for the passage of their generator fume, perhaps, I can be your plug to cctv and electric fence installations sir.

I understand the way you feel perfectly, spending that much only for it to be defaced by such unwanted sight. But if you look closely you will see that nothing can really be done by might unless you call the land owner and discuss as gentlemen.
You can entice him by taking up the cost, that may be a start..

it is a shared fence, so you can’t claim total ownership. Although some places would say you are responsible for the right hand side when facing your house. However, common sense should prevail. There is also and always, the question of who erected the fence?
Nothing that is not part of fencing materials should be on a fence. Roof is not part of fencing but the proposed electric wire is. This is your legitimate stance. Let him know this. But I suspected he would try to negotiate by shifting the cost for re-roofing to you, since it’s you proposal . He probably wouldn’t even consider his own violation.
