for the 9inches block they should be able to get at least 45blocks per bag of cement. while for the 6inches should be around 50blocks per bag of cement. most of the time the reason why the number of 9inches reduces is because of the stress it takes in carrying it and getting it done. but the one your cousin produce would still be strong. 1 Like |

southniyikaye: Ultimately this is why I decided to simply buy my blocks and from the source. Oh and to not negotiate the price. Hopefully the Blockmaker/seller will be fair to me. Because if you don't sit there and validate each and every mix then all na wash. 2 Likes |

BrabusNG: @Mayor78 Data is not all that reliable, and most importantly cheap in Nigeria. Else, Skype, WhatsApp, and Viber would be great choices. I don't know where you live, but I have been using www.rebtel.com for a number of years now. They are not the cheapest, but cheaper than Skype (the paid service) to Nigeria at least, and call quality is better than most other VOIP services. Give it a try. 1 Like |

Re: Applying Lessons From Nairaland To Micro-manage Building 5BDR Duplex From Abroad by Ilaje44(m): 8:27pm On Mar 08, 2016 |
EgunMogaji: Why did you stop using rebtel? I compared the tariffs, Rebtel is a tick cheaper than Boss Revolution in my case. I pay 3 cent per minute, actually 2.5 which however is due to the fact that I am an old customer. |

Ilaje44: Rates. Boss is 3 cents per minute to Rebtels 8.9 cents per minute. Prefers Boss iPhone app. Rebtel had an unlimited deal previously that was sweet. Boss for me for now until something better and cheaper comes out. Will be giving smartphones to frequent contacts so we can use WhatsApp more. 1 Like

3strike: My Chairman, God will bless you for your encouragements and words of wisdom. As for importation of materials, surely all materials I would use have to be sourced from Naij except the cash off course. As I am not building an estate (even if), the cost of importing (for individual use) is too enormous to comprehend. As we well knew starting with the cost of buying, hauling to port, consigning to Lagos Port, and indeed clearing, and hauling to site with the attendant risks, etc all are not ignorable. Again the time to run around shopping for bargain in the industrial complexes, merchant outlets is not there. Even with the time, again remember that without Building Material Trade Licence you can not buy the materials at wholesale prices from merchant stores and bulk traders even during Clearance Sales, so you rarely buy at bargain price anyway. Remember it is building materials (not mobile phones that you can hand-carry), so you essentially need at least a 20ft container indeed a 40 feeter to contain your building wares, toilet and kitchen sinks, baths, lister, Mechanical and electrical items, doors, windows, tiles, roofing sheets etc depending on the size of your project, But whether 20ft or 40ft, independent of other costs, the cost of shipping and clearing would be very close to if not more than N2m. Men! that's your roof done right there with that cash! I don't have that much cash for frivolities. By the way where will I stop importing, furniture's, electronics, home deco's, where? Fair play to those that can afford them to. One of the joys of life is to do what keeps you happy in so far they are within a reasonable acceptable norm. Most essentially, remember I'm building a family home where I hope to where finances allows often bring my family for holidays, which connotes that I'm looking forward to quality times with my wife and children playing and running around the compound (as Spyder888 would say) in my village, in my country, in our home. I wouldn't jeopardise the chance of realising that dream by using my off-work periods to run around counties looking to load a container of building materials. I simply cannot afford the time to do that instead of attending to unending but essential domestic duties here (school runs, baby sitting and children home works, cutting grass, family outings, taking the boys to and from football training's and matches, our girl to ballet classes etc) and above all, relax and be 'married' with my wife LOL! I don't want to loose my wife and family before I finish the Naija house. Too old and ugly to re-marry and start-over LOL! So to me, it makes quite a lot of sense economically, socially, and emotionally, to buy my materials in Naij. We have high quality materials for building in Naij, you just have to pay a little bit more getting guys to shop around and that's the deal. Thanks again for your advise, please don't fail to keep them coming as I expect you would. 2 Likes |

Mayor78: I was going to buy quite a lot of stuff from over here, my shipper here offered me a sweet deal on shipping household stuff and I have the source to get well priced items. Now that I've discovered two people Senator Ben Bruce with his #BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira and Mr. Strive Masiyiwa, Executive Chairman & Founder of the Econet Group. Between these two people I came to realize that I have to be the change that I seek. So I will be buying quite a bit of my stuff in Nigeria but some will still come from here, things like Carbon Dioxide sensor and smoke dectectors, wall switches, etc Fun times ahead 2 Likes |

Chukazu: Thanks Chuks, I followed immediately on that price at the onset by sending a friend to verify the cost and he came back with N8,500. Before then my cousin has bought 7 trips for N84K@12K/trip. But after that, I have been buying at N8,500. Thanks a lot for that and please share the cost of other materials you know of here to help guide my negotiations. Many thanks again Chuks. |

nijabazaar: You can say that again, no be small, my calculator and notepads are running overdrive. Thanks a lot, I need the luck my person. Update is the key even when it cannot be 100% accurate, It often come handy to observing discrepancies from uncoordinated and inconsistent responses to accounting questions. I look forward to the house being featured in Nollywood movies someday LOL! Thanks Bazzar |

In my area in Anambra East, usuall tipper is Bedford and as I said the current cost of sharp sand is N8,500.
