DFAMEGUY11S:
oh sorry sir is now look at your message well my price was for staircase marble not for iron

I thought as much. Thank you, anyhow.

But do you per chance know the guys who installed the rails?.............like meeting them on site or having their contacts?

michlins:
no sir but what I can assure you is that that thing is no less than 70,000/meter. That's not your usual wrought iron and it's still making its way into Nigeria.

Thank you and stay safe

Thank you for your candour. What do we have that is closest to this? Photos and pricing would help.

@michlins

Can you generate an identical replica of this stair rail in Picture 3, and how much would that cost per meter, if you could?

Many thanks

@DFAMEGUY11S

Do you have any reference to the fabricator of the stair rail in Picture 3?

That would be appreciated, if you do.

Thank you.

Yeah the building will not collapse but I doubt the fire response will be adequate. And the building has caught fire multiple times.

I'd be surprised if anything works in that building today, yet it was once the tallest in West Africa. The decline in its fortune can be closely tied to the decline in the economic prowess of Ibadan itself.

It is prime property, located in Ibadan's CBD, but since there are no Million dollar businesses renting the offices and the conceived relocation of the New Train Station, there cannot be sufficient investments to update the facility with modern IT infrastructure and safety systems.

The Electrical and Mechanical need to be gutted, redesigned and reinstalled for it to be safe for human occupation.

EgunMogaji2:
Sorry, I just won't do it. We have a lousy maintenance culture.

The week that I was going to go inside finally the elevator fell and killed I think 5 people. This year.

O yes, as for the maintenance, you are � on point. My comments were strictly based on the structural integrity of the building. The Electrical and mechanical integrity is as suspect as the economic and moral decline of Nigeria itself.

There is no respite until we all recognise how 'bent' our mindsets are and make a U-turn.

May God save Nigeria.

EgunMogaji2:
Knowing Nigeria system is the first law of survival.

I have a client on the 12th floor of Cocoa House. We’ve done millions in business but I’ll never go to their office. I just can’t do it.

Sir, Cocoa House is very very safe. It was built by competent people at a time when standards were strictly adhered to. I would not have any problems doing anything in Cocoa House, but would worry myself sick going inside a modern 6 storey building. The slide into depravity that we have embarked upon in Nigeria in the form of the worship of money, howsoever acquired, is what is the root cause of these calamities.

This is sad, very sad indeed.

As suggested by many here, we will have to wait for the investigation report to know the true cause of this calamity. But are reports ever published in Nigeria? Do people get punished for the compromises that lead to loss of life? I am not too hopeful that we will learn from this, since we didn't learn from the previous occurrences, including the Synagogue. Political interference always trump's the health and safety of Nigerians

Anyhow, what we must not forget is that our government do not seem too concerned about the quality of products in use on Nigerian projects. Even made in Nigeria rebars do not comply with global standards upon which engineers rely for their design and specifications. This has always been a concern for me. 12mm, 16mm, 20mm rebars never have the advertised diameter. You can pay for a particular sized bar and be supplied something less than that yet you are expected to take it and not complain. Everyone accepts that as normal behaviour and the regulatory agencies do not care.

SON should have some blame in this. This will, unfortunately, not be the last occurrence until we start holding ourselves accountable.

The enquiries are the same but no response to any as yet.

Bro how much and where are you located?

I love the design of this house and I can see that you are doing justice to its structural integrity. I am signing up for progress updates.

Well done.

Next in my plate

We do gutter for those who pay for gutter.

What is the dimension (length) of the channel drains and how much are they ? Please indicate the market/ shop address as well.

Thank you

Horlardorjah:
The wood used are oven baked to dry off all water or moist content it has before any work is done n seasoned thereafter.

That is nice to know. Is there any enforceable guarantee on the doors then? How long are these, if in existence?

Many thanks.

Horlardorjah:
This should be hdf but we did the hardwood natural color awhile ago.

Yes, the door looks nice and I have seen the prices you quoted for the polished version. The problem I have with these local wooden doors is with how they tend to become warped with time and a little heat.

How do you treat your own products to minimise the warping on the doors?

naijacreativeha:
Yes sir, can work any where in Nigeria, location pls sir

The site is Ibadan, but we are still a few months yet from tiling. I was just interested in your rates and flexibility with location for now.

naijacreativeha:
Do you know you can get your perfect toilet and rooms by patronizing me, the edges of your toilets well placed by patronizing me, just call me on 09036346989

Would you work outside of Lagos and how much do you charge per Sq.M ?

rotecch77:
Thanks you all I really appreciate you people
Actually it’s not in my DNA to talk too much on issue as this, once I made my point i move.
But to be candid I have told him sorry on whatzap chart (actully my conversation with cleint is confidential ) but he said no that he need to come public to post it.

Any way I believed NOBODY IS PARAGON we learn everyday.

@bigitie I’m sorry again.

Thank you all
I rely appreciate

@rotecch77

On a good day, I would just read this post and move on quietly, but I just felt the need to point out that we are all human and liable to make mistakes. Mistakes are pardonable, and should be when the actor is genuinely remorseful.

You are a long standing member of this forum and a hitherto reputable one at that, but you did let yourself down on this particular issue. This reeks more of incompetence than it does of an error. You may have aggravated it by arguing that you take the number of blockwork courses as the basis for establishing the level of formwork on a building that was erected by some unknown 'barber' or 'tailor'.

You should have established the planned upper floor level independently on taking over the project. To not do that is, at best, negligent, but to argue that this is standard professional practice is dubious.

Ideally, your construction company should be insured against this kind of problem, but as we all know, nobody at this level purchases professional indemnity insurance.

My proposal for resolution is that you privately approach @BiigTee and resolve the issue. You will have to offer some form of financial compensation, even if it is less than the N1m plus that your client has apparently spent in rectification.

I am afraid, saying "sorry" a million times will not pacify your client. Please approach him and resolve it amicably. You have a name to protect and your team hasn't done your reputation any good on this occasion. Don't drag it in public.

@BiigTee, I understand how you feel, but please don't curse him, this is a professional relationship and should be resolved professionally. Your most threatening problem at the moment is not @rotecch77's error. You actually need a certified engineer to review the adopted solution as suggested by @n3xt. You have added more load on a supposedly weak slab. That could be a problem for the future. I suggest you do not ignore that advice.

Please respond to @rotecch77 when he approaches you and get an amicable resolution. God will replenish your loss.

spyder880:
Just looking at doors for my clients, and, I come in peace

@Spyder880, would you mind sharing the contact details of the supplier of these doors?

Many Thanks

PremiumDogs:
He has grown so big now

Please publish the price here and don't sidebar the prices. You never know who would be tempted to strive for it once the price is known. Hiding prices is off-putting.

spyder880:
Thank you Sir, the beauty is the only thing that consoles me about this work. I went through a lot to get those guys to finish the work. Very troublesome guys.

Does this mean that you are still unwilling to recommend these guys, even for the sake of the quality of their work? I can wait for quality, the only problems I have with workmen is good quality and honesty with money.

If you can vouch for them in terms of money matters, then I think they should be good for me boss.

spyder880:
I cannot recommend these guys at the moment, they have been very unreliable with their timeliness and I have spent too much energy chasing them around to complete this particular job. I had told them that I can only advertise their work only if they satisfy me on this job, I am keeping that promise and unless they deliver this wrought iron work to this site, I will not help their ministry by giving out their number. Thanks for your understanding Sir.

Thank you for the frankness. I guess you could use enquiries like this as an additional tool to whip them into compliance

spyder880:
I went and inspected the quality of work being done on the staircase rails for this house. We had completed all handrails for the whole building, just remaining staircases. They promised to start painting the others soon.

Oga Spyder, well done for a nicely done project as usual. I am very impressed with the quality of quite a few things here, but even more impressed with the Wrought Iron Fabrication.

Can you recommend the guys that are making these for you? I would like to talk to them. Thank you.

Hi all shipping agents, I am planning to import a number of doors (wooden and Steel doors) from China for private use and I need quotes from some [b]reputable [/b]organisations who can receive the goods in China and deliver to an address in Ibadan.

Please quote for

1. Sea freight (cbm)
2. Duties
3. Delivery in Ibadan.
4. How long between receiving goods in China and delivery in Ibadan.

Many Thanks

SoldierPikin:
25K is the quote I was given for 2k

Sorry, but what do you mean by for 2K? 2K of what?

twinskenny:
depend on how many line.. 6 or 8 line

What do you charge for 8 or 12 line (If you can do 12 line) with motion detection, CCTV cover and alarm?

Zammzammm:
Please nairalanders i need information about this snake. The snake is very common in eti osa area of Lagos.

This is the second one that I have killed this year in my compound . There are undeveloped plot of land around my compound, I suspect that they come from there I need to know the specie, and if they are venomous and poisonous.

Thanks for anticipated assistance

The Photo you uploaded is not sufficient for the experts to answer your question. The easiest way to tell if a Snake is venomous or not is in the shape of its head and your photo does not show the head of this Snake

Send a full picture with a detailed view f the head and this should make life easier for the ones who are able to attempt the question.

heywhy4u:
We have it in large quantities very neat, clean and dry.

I may be interested in your offer, but I need a few areas addressed before I can decide:


1. How much do you sell the sack and what weight is the sack?
2. What is your mode of delivery across the Country to a location like Ibadan and Shagamu area?
3. What is the time frame between order and delivery?
4. Do you do Cash on delivery or how does that bit work?
5. How seasonal is your supply or do you have all year round?
6. Do the prices fluctuate all year round as well or do you try and stabilize the price all through the year?

We can discuss further once you address these questions.

8 blocks of 3 bedroom flat for sale at Surulere area in Lagos.
Interested and serious buyer can reach me on 08124461809 for physical inspection and purchase.
All documents are intact
Asking price: 125m

Sir, I think you need a better description of this offering. 8 Blocks of how many flats per block? Do you have photos? Are there other descriptions that will make this a more attractive offering rather than leaving potential buyers with their own imaginations.

Please supply photos and better descriptions.

mufutau55:
No staunless railings either. I went for wrought iron with special mahogany on top of the railings. Old school type.

Hajji M.

Nice to hear that someone has already done this successfully. I take it that you procured it all in Nigeria. If you did, would you mind recommending your contractors? I am planning on using the same for a project in Ibadan.

Any idea of prices would be helpful too.

Thank you

Rubbiish:
House any suggestions of water supply for high rise building of about 6 floors. Since constructing water tank stand of such height is odd.

You can design your house with a sufficiently roomy roofspace to accommodate water tanks. You will have to have adequate structural support to carry the weight of the water tanks though. You will need to use a numberof breadloaf tanks for this purpose.

Let me know if I can be of any assistance in guiding you, but you will need to share the plans for such advice.

LeonOgu:
