Electrician
Ok thanks, but some not so careful electricians sometimes cause some damage to the ceiling while at it, and obviously can't repair the damage themselves.

"In an unprecedented move, Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced a further reduction of the price of diesel from 1200 to 1,000 naira per litre.'

When I said Cement will be back to old price, some folks thought I was joking.

once the price of diesel drops, major goods will shed prices. Diesel powers this economy

I think I'd prefer my POP guy to do the cutouts. Apart from possible damages to the ceiling, electricians hardly take measurements before doing their installations, so may not centralize or align the spotlights properly.

One of our project in Akoka, getting there this morning the whole cables stolen. We have POP guys working in the building after we left the site. They denied that they did not tamper with the cables.

The security on site should also be interrogated... that amount of wire can't go missing without anyone noticing.

They won’t be the one to determine how many lighting points… anyway they can do this with your electrician

We have hole cutter for cutting the POP. We do it ourselves and to get the right spacing.. Although some big companies will leave the opening for main contractor because it's part of their attendance to the sub contractors

I know they can't determine how many lighting points, but the building has an electrical design with all lighting points already pre-determined on paper.

What about spacing, centralizing and/or alignment of the lights, if you know what I mean?

Topsy, judging from pics of your past jobs you've shared here, I have a feeling you're the kind of electrician that will take your time to make measurements and get the spacing, centralization and alignment right...but not many electricians do that.

A qualified electrician knows what to do. Infact, they Understand Measurement To the Least mm. Always Avoid cheap Labour. E get Why..

A Length Of Iron Rod is About 36ft-39ft. So You Will Need About 11 length Of Rod at Most If you Are Using Triangular Steel Pope but If you Are Using Rectangular steel Rope you Will Need About 14 iron Rod At Most and About 130 steel Rope.

This Information Will Be Most Helpful If you Are Doing Chain beam else You Will Need Adjustment As Each Door And Window beam Needs to Be Projected A Bit on Either Sides.
