Installation of window frames..

Members of the house,

Please can you give me some ideas of how much it cost to set up scaffolding for plastering of a house?

How many bamboos/wood are generally needed?

The site in question is 2 sets of 3 bedroom flats on both the ground and first floor plus a pent house.

Awaiting your responses.

Thanks

Well Said,

I lost my sister in-law to fire caused by cooking while trying to pour petrol in generator.

I can't understand why the generator or even petrol was in the kitchen in the first place but it happened and she is gone for good (RIP).

We really need to educate households here on this issue because we depend alot on Petrol for so many things and its storage in houses poses a very big safety concern.

@EgunMogaji,

l think the focus of that issue (decking a kitchen roof with concrete) has to do with "minimising the effect", in case of a fire outbreak.
While electrical wiring or gas leakage is a major cause of fire in homes, in the Nigerian environment, there are other causes like "Stove catching fire", "adulterated fuel suddenly exploding", "Mama Sikira suddenly forgetting that she is heating palm oil... while using one eye to watch Nollywood", "Baba Chinedu trying to do a "quickie-selfie int he kitchen after returning from Booze, late in the night and then dozzing-off", e.t.c!

The point l am making is that no matter how you try, even in the "WEST", the fire-fighters are always on-call because there is always fire erupting from as many sources as our imagination can carry us.

Having assumed that, the next question will then focus on "damage control", which is where the idea of Concrete decking for a kitchen comes-in.
Concrete by its nature, is less combustible, compared to other "roofing materials" that can be used in the kitchen-area viz PVC/Wood combo, Asbestos/Wood combo, e.t.c

Concrete Decking will also "contain and restrict" the spread of the fire ...compared to the other methods as fire generally burn "Upwards" and the Decking will definitely restrict that ability.

Thus, l think in addition to all the other options you have highlighted, the Concrete Decking is also a "second-level" protection, when the inevitable finally happens.... though, "Prevention is always better than cure", but we cant be too careful, right?

Arrival of a new tool-of-trade

This past week, we took delivery of a much anticipated piece of machinery that will help our company responding faster to an increasing demand for on-site concrete mix.

Mixer's specification :
Our new machine is a Frederick Parkers 150-T concrete mixer, with Lister diesel engine, mounted on an 6x3 steel chassis. The mixer has a drum volume of 400 liters which produces 310 litres of concrete per mix and up to 6m3 of concrete in one hour.

Goodbye to the days of manual mix and delayed concrete pour. Welcome to the new level. This is a great addition to our service offering to our customers and marks The beginning of new things to come.

Watch out for more toys.

I reallly reallly love this message. Fantastic.
If only we could all think this way. Kudos my brother/Sister

lastpage:


Dont worry Hajji, at times, l think God has a "destiny" for each of us.... and a "responsibility" to go with it.
With such "responsibility", l also think if we discharge it properly, the Heavens also ensure that we dont lack what it takes to fulfil that destiny.

My Mum has a few words she use to say
*The hand of the Giver, is always On-Top.
*Only those that "have",... can "give". You cant give, if you dont have!
*Giving puts a "mentality" into your psyche such that you will always strive to have more (because of those you need to give to)... and you will always have more!

Look at it this way: Do you think you are the hardest-working/smartest person around.... that God has blessed you this far/much?
*If riches are 'directly derivable' from hardwork, dont you think those people that do "Alabaru" should be the richest in this world?

Let me say something today: There is a "BIG blessing" attached to those who care for their parents.
A Parent's curse/prayer (with good reason) on a child will stick like Evo Stik Gum!


Finally, "l would rather God bless me, so l can continue to help others...than God bless others, so l can beg them to assist me"!

Continue to do it and just ask them to continue to "say a prayer for you", in return.
Thats all you need.


More blessings.

Hajji M.

Nice. what was it like? Was the roof done to an excellent standard?

nigeriancuban:
I was here...

Yes please. I need an AC man to do some work for me so want to know how much Labour cost is if I supply materials.

fash78:

I don't understand your question bros. Are you asking for how much I am being charged for the AC piping work for my project?

Abeg, no vex O. i did not know it was your site.
I was just visiting a friend there and remembered Fash was doing some work there.
Please no vex ooooo

elfadconcept04:


Madam befto, u went go my site and u dint call mi. Deris God o..

HsLBroker:
progress

What colour is this roof? what roofing sheet was used here? how much did this cost?

Thanks Haji,

I will check them out too.

It's just so confusing.

mufutau55:
@befto
Check with First Aluminium too.

Hajji M.

My Bros/Sis,
I am at the roofing stage for my site and need to decide on what brand/make of Aluminium steps tiles to use.
The roofwork has been designed for 0.55 gauge step tiles so will appreciate some advice on where to get the best materials to use.
I am being sent different quotes for different sizes of the same roof. How does that work? To date I have had 4 measurements of completely different sizes for the same roof. where's the consistency?
Which one do I take as the correct measurement/quote?
Now back to the actual roofing sheet I have had a few names so far. The ones that stand out are Tower Aluminium, Sumo Aluminium and Baltran.
I know Tower is reputable but very over-priced for my pocket so what are the other alternatives to Tower that still have quality (even though not as much as Tower). Is Sumo a good brand? Does anyone have their contact details? I have searched all over Lagos and online but not joy in finding them.

Please help me Fellow NL members

hello house. How much does the labour cost for AC piping work? materials supplied.

Well said....

No Sir, Oga AdeEkiti. The weather in Oyinbo land is worse than what we will ever have in Nigeria. We only have rain.. that is all.
Snow is 100% worse that rain... it's nothing but pure salt; and it causes more damage. if we ever get snow in Nigeria, the whole country will be perished because we are not equipped for it both in materials and labor. If building materials serve 10 years in Oyinbo land it should be doubled in Nigeria.
The problem is that we are getting bad and inferior materials in Nigeria, especially those imported from China... (there are some materials that is specially made for Nigeria, requested by our people so they don't have to paid much).

erico2k2:

I think that's very rude for yoy to come on his post n disrespect him in such fashion all he did was trying to advice us.

Haha,

Pretty sad but let's drop it. Does not need to go on any longer.

we wont get anywhere and I most certainly do not have anymore energy to carry on.

Have a good day

EgunMogaji:


I've lived here continuously now going over 30 years. It also has to do with exposure.

Were you in school for those 6 years or were you raising a family, changing jobs, building houses,buying cars, entering contracts, defending lawsuits in courts, getting divorced, etc so that you were exposed to all types of things that makes you a residents and not just a mere visitor?

You're funny, you and your 6 years

On the contrary I lived in Chicago for over 6 years so I think I have an OK idea of how things work in that part of the world.
May not be the same where you are but I have a pretty good idea.

Anyways, we wont get anywhere with this.

Like I said before each to their own. We have our ways of doing things so whatever works for you most certainly will not work for me

EgunMogaji:


That's a feminine argument style, I never said that I knew how everything works. On the contrary you are the one claiming that you know how the US works when you probably haven't lived there for any length of time.

Any aggrieved person can go to court and at least come back and post a copy of the lawsuit.

Just stop trying to paint a woe is me picture of Nigeria to me.

That's ok. each to their own opinion.
If I am lazy then I guess you are so clued up that you know how everything operates.

Good luck......

EgunMogaji:
B

You're just lazy.

The courts work in Nigeria, that you choose not to use it is another matter.

Nuff said.

Oga Maverick,
Thanks for your input here.
I guess some people live in fairy worlds where they think everywhere on earth is the same without consideration for the people/culture of the Terrain.
How can you compare a country where you have 24/7 light to one where you only get it for 3 or 4 hours day (if you are lucky)?
A country where they can catch a killer even after 24 years to one where the killer is well known and no one can do a thing.
A country where you go and report a case to the police and have some confidence that justice will be done to a country where you go report a crime and you may end up seeing the man that robbed you last night behind the counter taking your statement.

Yes Nigerian is on this planet but can anyone honestly say that Nigeria is not unique in its way of life?

Yes we have courts,we have lawyers, we police but do these establishments work as they should? Maybe for the rich and maybe for some lucky ones but definitely not for the majority of the country.

I lived in UK for over 15 years and even hard places like Peckham, Brixton, Hackney did not have burglary proof in all the houses.

Now I am back in Nigeria and I visit some of my uncles who have alot of money and security and they have burglary proof all over the place. Is it that they cannot afford to put the best fashioned windows in place? is it that they can't afford other forms of security? Trust me they can afford all the above and yet they still live in cages like the rest of us.

Nigerians hope and pray for a better Nigeria but until then we are where we are and we deal with things with the tools at our disposals and not how people outside think it should be dealt with.

I am owed 9m naira for some plots of land that I bought years ago from so-called developer. I have done everything in my power to get my plots or my money back but to no avail.

I have gone to the police and reported the case. The man has signed all sorts on undertakings but yet to make payment. Even the police adviced me not to take it to court. they said the court can tell him to start paying 10K a month and that will be the end. Am i going to take 10K a month on 9m? how long will that take.

Even the police have told me that when I eventually get my money back they will charge me 10% for their services and I have been told that is a standard for any money the police get back for you.

Now tell me if this is the same judiciary system that we should rely on when people take the piss with our hard-earned money?

Rant over. time to take my dog for a walk..............

EgunMogaji

Without any disrespect or anything along those lines.
Sometimes I get the idea that you may not be orientated with the Nigerian system, and you tend to compare a lot of things between USA / Nigeria. Again, without any prejudice or disrespect, they are 2 difference things, so whilst its good you exhibit ideas from USA, unfortunately I feel that you have to be pragmatic on whether such a system will work in Nigeria. You tend to compare a system where things work most of the time to one where things don't usually work, and when it works, it works differently to the way you know it in USA.

You also need to understand the system, not everyone/everything is like that but all I am saying is that you need to exercise caution and put the Nigerian perspective into some of your ideas.

Just me 2 cents.

I have been to the courts already so you can SMFD

EgunMogaji:
.

But yet you did

You're a rank amateur.

Go to court or STFU.

Feeling is mutual so best not to respond.....

EgunMogaji:


It's interesting that you would use the word bully. Guy, you're a non entity in the grand scheme of things.

Stop making noise and go get a court solution or STFU already.

I no get your time.

Thick Skull. see this guy. You think I am one of those people you can bully.
If you are in bed with brabus then good luck to both of you but I can comment just as you can comment so if you dont like my comments piss off and go bully someone else.
I am not one of those people that you can ride whereever you are.
We don't want to use courts so what's your problem?
If you are in love with Brabus then pay his bill and stop acting like a PRAT.
We dont give a damn about what you think so move on and hit the like button.

And just so you know I have used the court in Nigeria 4 times and it did not get me anywhere.

EgunMogaji:


You're on a public forum so you have no personal lane.

Just as you have the freedom to be a pest, so I have the right to have a pesticide. Get that into your thick skull.

My courts are anywhere I want them to be. I've used Nigerian court twice these year and I haven't used American court in at least 5 years. How about that asshat? How do you like them apples?

Why dont you face your lane.

If you dont understand what's going then please stick to your laws and courts.

Our courts are here and yours is where ever you are.

Are you a lawyer?

EgunMogaji:


That in lawyer speak is called blustering.

When are you guys going to stop making noise and go to court already and get satisfaction?

You guys think you're helping your brothers but you're not. The original posting that showed what appears to be negligence served its purpose. Is it now going to be 10 pages of heckling?

More packaging. Did you also sleep in a prison while you were there?

Are you planning on building a prison concept cause that's where you will finally end up........

brabus:


I'm doing something in that area now. It's big!

I had to sleep in all the resorts in that area to come up with my own concept.

Brabus is a real cunning fox no be small.
I know his type. If I remember vaguely he had a similar issue with Brag3 where he tendered some fake documents (architectural drawings) which had fake seals and stamps from people claiming to be certified architects and engineers.

https://www.nairaland.com/1588017/nexthome-builders-2014-2015-new/33


I don't know how it was resolved. maybe Sir Brag3 can fill us in. Sir Brag3 uploaded all the documents and all Brabus could do was dance around as usual and make excuses.

@Maverick, you need to put all the documents here for us to see and shame this guy.

Maybe others misunderstood your comment about being your brother's keeper but I got it and your actions and those of others to shame this criminal will help protect other unsuspecting clients.

This guys has gone way too far.

Sir Brag3 help us please as you seem to have experienced the same thing.

@mavverick,

Are you saying brabus did this work? you mean this shoddy job was done by the same brabus who comes on here and acts like a building Evangelist?
Never ceases to amaze me with this guy's impunity. Always thinking people are against him without showing any kind of remorse.

This is a disgrace to the building profession and I hope the other builders on this site can speak up on this.

This guy should not be allowed to get away with such atrocities by saying that the other clients are still in contact with him for advice.

So what? is that an excuse to keep producing such dangerous constructions for his clients.

You come on here and comment on other posts and act like you are a real professional but you are just a well packaged cowboy.

It's amazing how other people on this site seem to give you props when they know what you are really like.

You are a disgrace to the other Credible builders on this site.

Are you going to compensate Maverick for this shoddy job?

mavverick:


Busy day, I have a lot to come and I will be showing it to you the more you keep opening your mouth to prove a point to me.

I had a qualified structural engineer visit site, not a computer technician turn builder overnight or textbook builder or scam artist.




I mean who does this out of wickedness, why and how on earth would you mix cement bag with concrete. Something that can be easily pulled off and thus pulling off some of the concrete fabric as well. This was all under the watch of brabus / bosun.



Because I said i would supply my own materials, he has decided to expose them to the elements so that they will rust and thus prove a point to me.


Terrible job everywhere, all under his watch (brabus Bosun Davies)



Same nonsense, never cared to retify it.



Absolute disgrace, why would you bring your brother or plumber or whatever to my site, collect a lot of money from me and still do a shoddy job like this. I really dont like breaking concrete, but what can we do here




Missed out a beam here, I will have to reinforce it somehow now.



Is it not supposed to be straight ??




Who in their right state of mind would rest a pillar on block work And you tell me this is not wickedness or being spiteful ?

Now anyone can say this is all sour grapes, but I am just exposing what bosun/brabus is really like. I mean, would he claim that i am owing him money, not enough materials or what ??
