@bixton. That's the idea. Only to reap profits. I still have not received my prepaid meter that I've paid for over 3 years now. I guess every homeowner is a government-you depend on yourself for electricity(generator or inverter), water(thru borehole).

You even get to do your drainage and construct your own access road.

erico2k2:
Exactly.this is why the answer to this question bellow is tricky
WHY SHOULD ANY SANE PERSON BUY DISCOS IN NIGERIA .

The only reason they sold and bought discos was only to make wholesome profits. Even to allocate prepaid meters is a huge problem even when users have actually requested and paid for such.

AngelicBeing:
In response to this post above, manufacturers spent 129.95billion Naira on power generation last year, it is on the front page, you can go peruse over it if you can, this are part of the cost in the production process & chain that they all go through daily and they pass it to consumers via their products, and as long as the kangaroo government both past and present didn't do enough to address nor ameliorate this issue, the masses are in for tougher times ahead, you don't expect me to spend so much to produce a bag of cement and put it in the market at a loss

Nigeria is the only country where every and any investor who knows the right persons within the social circle will rip excessive profits. With all the hullabaloo about power generation and distribution we are all aware of the magnificent profits MTN declared in Nigeria and when you compared that to the parent country South Africa you will know that we're here in this country for exploitation.
Sure we in for tougher times and God willing it will not be so so tough.
The oil sector is about to enter a revolution and you can guess what Nigerians should be expecting when the actors involved are the ones who want nothing but monopoly.

Those are common knowledge i dont sell steel mind you am just a regular buyer so i get small idea and i know for a fact most of the time only 10mm varies in price 16mm and 12mm rods are sold at same price. and mainly that of 10 is cos of transport as a result of it having 133 nos. Also demand and supply for the 10mm and 8mm. i leave other details for those selling nah them sabi price. Regards

It's all about weight and nothing more. Having the same price has nothing to do with it. We may only argue if the price difference is insignificant at all depending on the quantity involved.

These are the various prices in my location a couple of days back when I purchased.
16mm-------3500
12mm-------1900
10mm-------1250
8mm---------1050

Do the calculations as against the quantity per ton and see which favours which and who it favours.

segzy14:
Y16mm- 53 lengths makes a ton
Y12mm- 94 lengths
Y10mm- 135lenghts
I will get u the updated prices cos it do changes .

Okay.
I look forward to it.
Thanks.

akinolaolujide:
Contrary to ur view yes you buy them at almost same price or even same price other factors determines the variations in price but basically a ton of stell has same price.

Really what factors?
Can you kindly quote the current price for the individual reinforcements and how many pieces makes per ton on each one of them?

Empiree:
Lol, not me. I simply quoted the guy looking for help. Click on his moniker to link you to his thread

Sorry about that and done it already.

Ratello:
I am a big fan of so many experts here especially egunmogaji etc. However, I will need an expert advice of how much it will cost to build from the scratch the following; 5 Bedroom + BQ Detached Duplex on an expansive land of 2 and a half plot with a big garden for exotic plants and crops cited in a gated space, space for 4 automobiles, plastered fence of 11 coches in Akure and Lagos.

I will appreciate a reasonable and fair estimation from honest experts. Thanks my fellas

These are what you'll need before getting a fair estimate on your proposed project;
(1) survey plan
(2) complete design house plan.

Without the above listed it will appear there's no seriousness.
Though I have a design plan of such i'm not privilege to share because it's very private to my client based on its modifications.

Goodluck.

The dimension of the building is 23,190mm by 9,300mm (175.4 Sqm) this house is relatively small hence my doubt.
His total rebar quantities are:

2.5 tonnes of 16mm @ 160k par tonne = 400k
4 tonnes of 12mm @ same price = 640k
2 tonnes of 10 mm @ same price = 320k
3/4 tonnes of 8mm @ same price = 120k
Labour 150k
Total ==== N1,630,000 for Rebars alone oooo

well, I just collected the quotation yesterday and too vex to even call him for any negotiation.

You certainly can't be getting different sizes of reinforcement at the same price per ton. That is mistakenly not possible.

Making it 4 blocks after lintel?
Like Mr EgunMogaji I would add a vent to the gable and roof eaves. And yes my concern is reducing heat build up in the attic which is usually transferred to the living area.

I am certain your build cannot take more than 4 vents by its design and in most cases only 2. The standard build is 13 blocks from the german floor. Your nogging and POP/PVC approximately takes out one complete block leaving you with just 12 blocks at finishing. So my previous advice stands correctly.
In the instance where your build comes with a concrete facial your concrete facial is counted as a block and all internal walls go a block higher and every other thing after nogging and POP takes out one block at that finishing level.

Heat transfer in a build is by way of conduction and it is very important to note that a build whose windows(size matters too) are not positioned properly to enable cross ventilation will not give you your desired results even if you create the vents on the roof and at some times when your AC is in use.
When putting up a house plan you consider first the direction of the morning sun(most important) and the point where air/wind current originates from. In the instance where you intend to create such roof vents when they don't point in the right direction, your build will only get what is referred to as free air.
Good morning.

The links will help you understand all you need to about vents and how to go about it properly.

bigrovar:
Hi guys. In at the lintel stage of my 2 bed room house. Was wondering what are the best way to achieve roof attic ventilation. My goal is to reduce heat from the sun by venting out hour air build up in the roof attic. Would appreciate ideas from experience hands here.

One of the things am considering is a roof wind turbine vent. To help vent out the hot air. Does this make sense?

Except you want to use your roof space for some somewhat sort you don't need it.
I'm guessing you're concerned about free air flow within the living areas in your apartment.
If your windows are positioned rightly for proper cross ventilation you can also increase the height of your headroom. That is, if you're doing 3 blocks after lintel add an extra block on it.
You can add the air vents on your roof to compliment air flow too.

Please house I need your advice I just bought a 3bed room bungalow I want to convert it to decking for upstairs please how many trips of sand, granite, cement, and iron rod I will need for pellars and decking the house is 42ft length 28ft wide thanks all

If you have the house plan it can be of help other than that you'll have to get a professional to be on site to check it and most especially to ensure that the existing foundation was done appropriately so that it can sustain an extra load on it.
Where is your site location?

Thanks so much for sowing a seed to other people's lives and sometimes people don't know that there is blessing in given. Thanks for that Sir.

Now, a lot of ppl are blaming me of trying to help people, well this is not my first time of helping ppl, only this year alone, I have done charity work worth more than 8million and I am still doing little I can till now, all these money comes from my blogging business and betting stuff... I don't take betting that serious even though it's for fun purpose and I am making not less than 100k every week playing my small odd.

I don't care if bookies removed the options because I can still be hitting them hard with other options which is under 5.5 goals and which is another sweet options everyone can be playing if you want.

I am not a greedy type or eat alone type, I always like to show youths where or how to make money so they can be independent but I noticed people don't want to learn in easy way, they want fast one.

When I started betting 5yrs ago, I started with 1k and I keep learning till I mastered pros and cons in betting.

I didn't commit any crime in coming here to donate or help ppl even though the money still comes from betting profits and not my own personal money. The 100k staking is also my profit and I still have more than enough in my other bank accounts which I can easily fund from my betting earnings.

Please we all should be our brothers keepers and stop being judgementals.

I see some ppl praying for other people's bets to cast so they celebrate but how can you wished someone such but expect God to bless you or answered your prayers?

I stopped dropping games here for a very long time when I started receiving insults from some users here and some even calling me a scammer but the reason why I decided to come out again is because of too much complaints from users here loosing their money through betting.

Anyway I will be doing all my things via twitter and Instagram page for now.

It's nice of you but notwithstanding you can still quote some of us here and drop games here too. Witches/Wizards are not because they prowl in the night to press people but those also in NL who will monitor people's games just for it to cast.
Do the good which you're known for and let the universe bless you in abundance.

Back to the main thread.

I need advice on which brand of building electrical wire to buy. Basically, 1.5mm, 2.5mm and 4mm.

My understanding is that Nocaco is the best but not so affordable. Others i see quite often are Dante, Coleman, Kablemetal, Purechem and Nigerchin. I want to use one in this group though Dante seem to be cheapest, from experience cheap may not be so bad. So i need advise based on experience.

Though they are just brand names endeavour to buy them from their offices and not a road side distributor.
Residential property---Nigerchin
Private Property---- Kablemetal.

Good day
Certain things appears to be bundled up on the Bill. I will let that fly if you get to revise the supervision fee against that.

From your description your trips of sand/gravel is from single axle tippers.
You did not indicate which type of back filling material you intend to use. I want to assume for that your trucks will be double axle(10tyres) fully loaded like that which I am conversant with in Owerri- Imo State.
If your Engineer is intending to do the standard excavation depth for your type of structure it would take you about 7-8 trips.

Goodluck to you and happy weekend.

Thanks for the correction, if team plays 1-0 ht and didn't score any game in 2nd half it ended 1-0. Shey e green. Cos I no wan get heart attack am not even 30 yet

If you played that game "Live" when it was already 1-0......there's a possibility you have lost it ooooo.

Ttalk:
I think sir you should be the one to tell us cost of fresh sea fish you are referring to. Yes farmed fish would have different production cost from cultured fish however, we are talking of close substitutes of catfish here which majorly are croaker fish, Titus fish and Mackerel fish that is at least 1000naira per kg whereas cattish is pegged at 600naira. How do do they arrived at such ridiculous price considering the high cost of feed and feed ingredients?

Ridiculous price, maybe, maybe not. But you should be aware that those close substitutes are imported too and are sold based on foreign exchange rate.
I am sure some of us here are into exporting of our farmed fish and we know how much we peg our prices when it comes to export too.
Every business man knows that his/her produce price is dependent on the processes involved to getting that produce to maturity/finished stage. If you allow your produce to be at the mercy of middle men then.................... certain farmers have found a way to take middle men away from the picture and do direct sales with end users.

Ttalk:
You made a valid point and I would say it is insulting to recommend such ridiculous price when catfish substitutes such as Croaker., Titus, Mackerel fish is above 1000naira per kg. Why then would they now bring a live catfish with better value below iced fish that is not live.
The only reason for this is an attempt to create a monopoly where only the big boys would be player. They have cornered incentives in form of subsidy, grants and loan meant for majority farmers.
Why is it easy for them to arrive at a selling price for farmers and they have nothing to do concerning inflated price of imported feeds. Are they in the business of importation of feed as well?

Are you implying that a Kg of catfish should be sold for above #1000? While you're at that kindly find out how much is a Kg of a fresh sea fish (salt water) gotten from Nigeria?

johnson232:
Thank u at the bold sir....

Yea, Yea, Yea.
Nigeria is a project and as members and professionals in the built environment in this forum, majority of us have been operating in like manner as our leaders.

Just like we are the contractors our clients will pay to get their projects to be completed likewise we the masses are the client's to our leaders.
A client who does not know what he wants to achieve and falls prey to an unscrupulous abracadabra contractor should find him/herself to blame.
