The question is, must will all build with stone coated roofing sheet, very high pitch roof and large areas?

Getting quality stone coated roofing sheet comes with a price, the price that can be avoided using a different type of roofing sheet and roof style.

Alternative roof style like low pitch hidden roof, with side parapet wall is one of the more affordable and also aesthetically pleasing, that can also be adopted. People are moving away gradually from very high

earthrealm:
OR SIMPLY BORE THRU UR wall. there is something they use...wch makes it so much easier boring tru a wall ,
if man get money..na to cast round in house upto lower lintel level, another cheaper alternative is to use ceramics as this is resistant to the major boring compound

Good evening house. Please where in abuja can I buy step tiles roofing sheet.I am through with wood work and I don't want to give any contractor.I want to purchase it myself and give an installer.
Thanks in anticipation of a quick response.

While i respect your view, it is very uninformed and obviously unintelligent. Nigeria boosts of some of the finest doctors in the world. Some of the doctors you run to in the US, UK and elsewhere are Nigerians.

The failure of govt to provide basic healthcare for the poor and regulatory failure in establishment and practise of private healthcare outfits has seen a rise in quackery to fill up the space. The system like every other in Nigeria is rotten and unguarded so its every businessman's turf.

Most Nigerians don't listen. Healthcare is NOT CHEAP, if you can't afford it please go to a good govt hosp (at least in Abuja) and be patient. Lets stop this ponzi scheme mentality, no body would collect 45k from you for a major surgery like ovarian cystectomy and you expect a good outcome.

After sacrificing his wife to the butcher, where did he raise money for the extensive corrective surgery at the public hospital, where he could have gone ab initio.

Nyanya general hosp is just about #300 away from his location.

The "doctor" is evil, the husband is wicked.

famzynet:
You made a big point here. Those in the field know that quacks abound and every genuine doctor knows when to refer a case. Removal of ovarian cyst in any good private hospital in Portharcourt is nothing less than 130k. Abuja should be higher. So how come such surgery was charged 45k in Abuja. It goes a long way to tell you the facility the man visited. Cheap things dey turn belle sometimes. Joke apart,I don't think the CMD is a qualified doctor. There are many people pretending to be doctors in Nigeria.

helpee:
i dont think the cyst was removed because of infertility. It was probably symptomatic otherwise there is no rationale behind removing a cyst as a treatment for infertility. Secondly the cost of the surgery was 45k. Hello. In abuja you are removing cyst with 45k and you dont expect complication? That is just about 100 euro. Either the doctor is not a doctor....no doctor in practise for 30yrs will remove cyst for 45k. And a post op patient is not moving bowel the next thing you gave liquid paraffin. That cant be an experienced doctor with 30yrs in practise. Even if you mistakenly rent the gut it is not going to be in multiple places and the two ovaries and tubes wont be missing. I can bet it.....he is not a doctor!!! And patient too that went to remove a cyst with 45k ....they were looking for the cheapest and the man took advantage of them. I wont stop saying this. HEALTHCARE IS EXPENSIVE. NIGERIANS MUST LEARN HOW TO PAY FOR IT. DONT BE PENNYWISE POUND FOOLISH.

MODIFIED: you dont always have to do ileostomy during a resection. Even the referral centre did the 2nd surgery without ileostomy and only went back for it after a breakdown of the anastomosis

kinguwem:
The story is pathetic, however there are some issues. We were not informed of the specialty of the doctor & the age of the woman.
If the lady had subfertility with ovarian cyst, all the investigations including an HSG should have been done before the surgery.
What was the cause of the subfertility? Probably pelvic inflammatory disease which resulted in the frozen pelvic making it difficult to see the uterus and fallopian tubes. Meaning they were not removed but were buried in the pelvic adhesions. The adhesions must have involved the bowels resulting in intestinal perforation while trying to free them. These are things that can happen during an abdominal surgery. The problem started when the surgeon did only a primary repair of the injured intestine without performing an ileostomy (opening a passage for faeces) to aid in healing of the bowel. During follow up, with the patient now having a distended abdomen he should have know that faeces were collecting in the abdominal cavity. He should have reopened the abdomen or refer the patient to a facility with a general surgeon.
The good thing is that the lady is still alive but her chances of conception is slim.

Its either it was off, it wasnt working or wasn't a proper installation.

Every energizer has an internal alarm apart from the external one you can choose to install. Cutting the cable totally disconnects it from normal functions so the enegizer must detect and trigger.

At least the alarm is a forewarning function. The external speaker is very affordable and installation is very easy, it is very necessary to alert neighbors of your situation. Most robbery will be aborted if the neighbourhood is aware even before the robbery starts. Thats the use of the external speaker. I wouldn't do without it.

So what network are you on now? I switched to Ntel finally as they are the only ones giving me unlimited as I can manage in Naija (price and speed).

Daboomb:
Thank you.
Moreover, there are automatic ON/OFF TIMER SWITCHES, that are sold cheaply, which he could have incorporated.

- I have seen people, even so called professionals, installing CCTV with the Power and Data cables openly visible and accessible.
- I have seen the Cameras installed at a level of height where all you need to do is just spray coloured paint on the Lens and you are good to go .

That is why l said "if you want to do something, do it properly or dont do it at all".

I hate girls who sleeps around with passion

Daboomb:
That is "basic" carelessness.
If you want to do something, please do it well or dont do it at all
It would have been better if he wrote them an invitation letter sef.

Ponder deeply before you electrify your fence.

I didn’t do it because of potential collateral damages.

diordaves:
In a sane clime like both of us know, such a scenario will kick-off a 999 call. So as the robbers are spending valuable time breaching the security, the residents call for help. In the name of all that is good, how much will it take to establish a functional community 999 center, well equipped and well managed.

Again be that as it may, that crime scene is a goldmine for the forensic boys. Take fingerprints, sweat and blood samples, run these through a frequently updated data base and a match might be hit due to the laws of averages and repeat offending.

How much would it take to set up a functional community forensic Lab dear Nigeria? This would also provide employment for forensic science graduates.

Nigeria I hail o!

olumide4christ:
To your question in No. 2 above, the items you mentioned and so many others you haven't mentioned like temporary hoarding(fencing) around the site, provision of electricity through generator, construction of site Office/store/shed, provision of scaffolding, insurance, etc are all collectively called PRELIMINARIES and we as Quantity Surveyors insert costs for these items in the bills of quantities we prepare. It is a standard. We may price the items individually or cover all the items with a lump sum, usually a percentage of the cost of builders work (5-7.5%) depending on the magnitude of the project.
However, in one-man projects where the client didn't get a bill of quantities prepared by a QS but rather just had an agreement of a lump sum with a builder/contractor, it would be difficult to come to an agreement on the scope and cost of these preliminary items...it would be neither here nor there.

Hope I answered your question.

HsLBroker:
OK this 56.1ft by 33ft.

But there are some criteria that determine the accuracy of the quantity of woods you needed to roof this dimensional building project.

1. You need to make decision on the type of roofing sheet you want to use because the purlin spacing we use for long span roofing sheet is different from that of stepped tiles, though metecopo and stepped tiles purlin spacing are the same, and stone tiles or stone coated roofing sheets purlin spacing is different from all of them.

For instance long span purlin spacing is about 2.5ft to 3ft depend on instruction giving to carpenters.

Stepped and metecopo spacing is approximately 18 inches wish is 1 ft and 6 inches purlin spacing.

Stone coated or Stone tiles is approximately 14 inches purlin spacing which is 1ft and 2inches.

Meaning the purlins wood quantity for stone coated is more than stepped tiles and metecopo, and that of stepped tiles and metcopo is more than longspan and asbestos roofing sheets.

Having stated all this, if you are using stones coated and you get quote for long span hardwood, it will not work because you will need more woods for your purlin and additional work force.

Though all the woods for tie beam, rafters, strut or bracing and wall plate remain the same.

2. Another area which is critical is whatever you are using slate for your ceiling noggin covering or pop or PVC.

For instance if you are using slate though this is getting outdated now, the ceiling noggin spacing is 4ft by 4ft, but the standard for pop and pvc is 2ft by 4ft, but some pop designers insist on 2ft by 2ft which translate to the fact that if your contractor construct your ceiling noggin spacing using 2ft by 4ft, the pop designers can reject or condemn it which will translate in other opinion that the contractor have done a bad job for you and that can cause misunderstanding btw you and your contractor because the ceiling noggin will need to later be convert to 2ft by 2ft spacing.

But the fact remain that the standard for both pop and pvc ceiling covering is 2ft by 4ft ceiling noggin spacing, because the binding wire they use to hook or hang this pop is not connected with ceiling noggin, it is actually hook or hang to the tie beam, because it is the tie beam that will carry the weight of the pop, only the yawn, the white thread materials is connect with the ceiling noggin, i'm saying all this base on experience.

3. Another important point is whether you have a parapet or not. If you have a parapet, you won't need facial board for your over hang extension design because the parapet will replace the facial board, and the additional 2 inches by 2 inches by 12 ft (2x2x12) woods for the outside noggin won't be needed but if you don't have a parapet then you will need some facial board and additional 2x2x12 woods for the outside noggin over hang extension construction.

4. The height of your roof too added to the quantity of woods that will be needed, if you are considering 12 ft before getting the quote and after getting the quote or the contract awarded, you now decide that the height of your roof should be 16 ft you need to know there will be need for more woods, so this 5 points matters a lot in getting accurate quote for your roofing project

5. You need to know the length and breadth of your building.

Answering all this question and making a decision will be needed to give you an accurate quote because they are very essential.

Thanks

God bless you sir.

HsLBroker:
Yes, i know you are using stone coated, i stated it in my first respond to your post.

I quoted the quantites base on stone coated roofing sheets.

I work any where in Nigeria but excluding northern region for now.

Thanks

Ourboss:
If I may ask, how do I know or identify original woods for my roofing? Thanks

Daboomb:
Moreso, we have all seen that if you can put in the personal effort and buy th ematerials required yourself, you may save even more funds through negotiation skills, goodwill, e.t.c, savings that would otherwise have gone into the account of the company.

I guess that is why many people prefer those 'specialists' that only supply the Mixers and labour, while they provide the required materials.

olumide4christ:
You will pay an extra N8000 -N13000 per m3 of concrete for these specialist companies to provide you with concrete...we call it ready-mixed concrete. Major suppliers we know are SPG and LAFARGE.. there are some other smaller suppliers too.

Too expensive for one-man projects....its better for corporate high profile clients. Ready-mixed concrete is at least N40,000 per m3 now...I know SPG supplies at a rate of about N43,000 per m3...my company uses them and LAFARGE...LAFARGE's rate is about N41,000 per m3.

WHEREAS an average contractor will provide 1:2:4 concrete at a rate of between N30,000-N35,000 per m3. When you calculate the volume of concrete required in a block of flats development for instance, the difference in cost is substantial!! [b][/b]

There are "specialist" Contractors who do Concrete Decking/German floor only.
All you do is provide all the materials for them. (Cement, Granite, Stone dust/Sand, Water).

They will bring their Machine and all Labourers required.
Saves you a lot of headache and from my experience, they are cost effective.

I luckily got his number from one of my old phones.
I used the man a few years back, in Lagos, very efficient (not sure if he travels outside lagos) - Kehinde 08103136914.
They are based in Mushin area of Lagos.
You can have a chat with him and see if he fits your needs.

An electrician (coming from another state and region) gave a quote of 50k for a 10m by 11m deck (excluding materials) and I have told him NO...I will go for a price range of 20 to 25k Max. Is my negotiation fair?
