I really appreciate this!

michlins:
don't do it. Water is very heavy so adding such weight to your foundation will bring about cracks in no distance time especially if the foundation isn't prepared for it.


How about water leaking from the taps and dropping into the house and if it's pop ceiling,it immediately gets condemned.


How do you fix issues with leakage and routine washing of the tank. Just don't do it. Do a separate tank stand even though it's expensive but it's safer and better

Could u kindly buttress more on the implications of the tank on decking issue u spoke of.. I am almost at this stage of my project

tranxo:
No space in the compound for a stanchion? I hardly see any tank on decking where water hasn't done some damage.

I would appreciate the input of seasoned engineers on my little query.. Pls can these two types of parapet designs be achieved with precast method!?

Then between parapet 1 and 2 which do u like better?

@spyder880
@n3xt

Thank you.. You have said it all

spyder880:
As long as the decking is reinforced with beams under the slab, you can add a higher number of blocks on the upper floors, but what about the final look of the house?
If windows on the ground floor are shorter that windows on the upper floors,
Or if the headroom on the upper floors are higher than the headroom on the lower floor.

It could be aesthetically unpleasant for some people with an eye for detail.

Odogwu spyder.. May ur years be long and full of new contracts.. Pls I have a question! I recently completed the decking of my house and I am looking to start the block work soon! Must the coaches of blocks on the first level be the same on the 1st and final floor? Or can the coaches on the first floor be slightly more than the one down to get that high ceiling effect.. For the lower floor we have 9 coaches - lintel - then 3 more coaches before lintel.

Good evening to all Esteemed readers.. I would like some clarity on this tank decking on the roof..

Are there disadvantages to having ur tanks on the roof rather than on a seperate tank stand!


Which is more aesthetically pleasing? The tank hidden in the roof or the iron tank stand outside beside the building

In terms of costs.. Is the tank decking cheaper than making a tank stand

E never reach like that ..

Just help me comfirm if they could meet up with our timing.. Payment shouldn't be a problem

Smiles.

Even those who paid upfront haven’t gotten.

I deal directly with the source and I know when I pay I get my orders supplied.

I’m not selling cement though so if you get where you’ll get official rate supplied to you and payment received on site, I’d say jump at the offer.

Really massive development going on there. I can only hope it doesn't end up being like the OPIC estate after campus! [quote author=n3xt post=98609799]We plenty there. One of the directors in the Ministry of Housing is the engineer in charge.

The project is a direct labour contract so projects is awarded to many contractors. Quote]

Are you the engineer in charge of the project opposite NYSC camp.. Along shagamu - Ikenne road?

I just made delivery of some column shutters to a client this morning. The first thing I told the client was to confirm if there’s space to do the job on site or if he’s happy if I do it in a location near me for adequate supervision.

Ok sir.. Pls help me ask... Also help me enquire how early on Tuesday it can be delivered to atan Ota.. Directly to my site as casting is slated for that morning..

Would be needing 150 bags.. Payment on delivery!

n3xt:
As at the last time I asked it was between 2850 - 2900 but I’m sure the price will have increased by now.

I’ll ask though

Good evening chief... Do u have any idea how much Cement is retailing now from that ur ewekoro distributor?

@n

n3xt:
Since 2014 I do everything in my project on site.

Just last week, I bought 2 welding machine and 2 x 7000kva generators, I hate headache.

- incomplete windows
- windows smaller/larger than provision
- usage of inferior materials
- increase in price of materials
- lack of power supply

If my fabricator mess up, there are so many others on the queue.

The only job I do offsite are done in location near me. I mean closer to my house or my office.

Below is 2014 project.

Just imagine what the lady who complained about her interior deco job is going through because she transacted with someone online. Imagine she gave the job to a nairaland contractor who in turn awarded same to the person who disappointed her.
We’d be here blaming the contractor

Experience has shaped us.

Cement is already 2800 at atan Ota..

Since your site is in Atan, I can get cement for you at 3,100...

We are just starting decking form work by Monday...tomorrow is a bit too soon..

n3xt:
150 bags of cement @2900 + 50 offloading fee is ready for delivery in atan ota tomorrow if you’re ready for it.

One of the reasons is their service charge(infrastructure charge development charge) and all of that rubbish they don't tell u before u make payment.. In adron estate, u can't build and stop.. U must build from foundation to finishing at a stretch! I had already bought the land before i saw that nonsense rule! So i just abandoned the land and got another one. Just know if u buy land from adron at 2m..the other hidden charges will almost double ur 2m. Before u can lay a block on ur own land

Nezzjnr:
This is very bad


One will easily be deceived by the state of the arts Structure at the gates of these estates

It makes you wonder why some haven't started building on those lands yet

Chief.. Would i still be paying for transport or offloading fee? Or that's covered already..

n3xt:
Are you ready as in right now?

If yes, it can be delivered to you between 2900 - 3000 around sango otta area direct from a Lafarge distributor.


_________
Anyone in need of cement direct from Lafarge around Ijebu Ode/Sagamu/Ogijo can get in touch with me.

2900 excluding offloading fee (N50)

I and oga rotech are going to the site on Thursday! He is the contractor I am using! Can u send me ur contact number so i can get back to you on Thursday... By then i should be able to tell you when exactly it would be needed..

150bags sir

n3xt:
What qty will you be needing?

Thank you.. It would be well appreciated!

n3xt:
You should be able to get 3,000 direct from Lafarge Ewekoro. Let me see if I can speak with a rep on that axis.

The great Spyder replies me.! Mehn... I am a long admirer of ur works sir! Infact seeing ur works was one of the motivations i needed to press on! Odogwu! May ur years be long and prosperous !

spyder880:
Enugu cement prices are coming down, a dealer asked me to come and carry for N3,500 yesterday. I was telling him N3,400 or no show.

[it is sir, decking slab! I have 4 tons of iron rod on site as we speak! Granite and all set! Just Cement! And Cement is going for 3200 here at atan ota ogun state.
quote author=n3xt post=97975913]

Oh! I hope it’s not a slab. If it is just quickly find fund to cast the slab because of the formwork.

I can tell you the pricing won’t go lower than 2950 in the foreseeable future.

So if you’re using 200 bags for instance, it’ll only cost you 40 - 50k extra. If you ask me, does it really worth the long wait? NO!

You can even lose some of the things you kept on site while you wait.

If I’m a contractor on your project, I won’t wait for 2 months to get my job done and move on to other things. I only try as much as possible to save from other areas.[/quote]

Good morning everyone, i have been a long time observer but i have been pushed out of the shadows because of this Cement issue.. Does anyone foresee any price reduction and how soon will it be? I have put a project on hold since November because of Cement and my iron rods are rusting on site! ��..
