Good deal sir… and simple designs I guess?

How many sqm total?

Yes, simple design.. 164sqm
Is it better I buy materials or should I pay him the 5k?

Good morning house..
I was charged 5000 naira per sqm for pop installation (materials and workmanship), and 1600 for workmanship if I'm buying materials myself...
Pls house which of the above options is better?

So regarding internet versus market, for the benefit of those that were not on here from the early days. This is not top castigate any seller because we live in a free enterprise.

It is common knowledge that some sellers on the street think majority of the people building are Ajebotas, Londoners, Abrodians, etc and thus prices and services are adjusted. Even up to the level of outright fraud and arrests with mugshots. On this thread.

So one has to always find street prices and purchase accordingly. I have been accused that I do not buy from vendors on here (which is not true), but the TOS of the site does not require us to buy from each other.

Thanks.

PS: Please note that I did not mention any names. Don't quote me as I'm having headache in my knee

Gbamsolutely!

Pls dont allow internet price deceive u . I bought inbuilt 4 burner Gs ,a German product for 80k last 2weeks .Jiji and jumia was selling 120k but i went to Alaba market to get it from the importer .

Exactly why I go to the market myself. Internet prices are exorbitantly high.
I only resort to the Internet if it is my last option..

Adedward:
casement windows sir,

What if it's sliding windows?

Nero2424:
I agree with you, most of the time is much better sourcing labour locally. Distant labour can cause you unnecessary delays and extra money trying to bring them to and from and also coming back for jobs not perfectly executed.

The last time i had a project in Lagos i made sure i got everyone around Lagos and now that i have an ongoing project in the East, am only recruiting Artisans from that reagion. I no get power to chance person wey dey 400 miles away.

You have said it all...

I was busy bro, and I think we just finished chatting, which I have give u the quote you need sir.

There is a trick everyone here should observe both prospects & project owners, builders, engineers & QS here should observe.

If u are buying woods be 18ft anywhere from Ore to the east always go for 12ft because if u are going by 18ft u will be charger double, instead of one and half price.

A case study.

A friend of mine, we graduated together from University of Lagos, he was building at Amagba, Benin, in Edo. He was at roofing stage, so he called me for woods, I was not around to do the work, so he went to a sawmill close to Airport road, when he got there, they told him 2x2@N500, 2x3@N600, 2x4@N700, 3x4@N1, 300 all by 12ft.

Then 2x2@N1, 000, 2x3@N1, 300, 2x4@N3, 000, 3x4@N2, 500 all by 18ft.

I told him to join me and the seller on conference call, I told the seller to give my bro discount because am also a seller and the woods are many, and we are going to buy by from all by 12ft, he agreed, and we end the call

My friend call me back Privately and said u are smart.

I told him we are both smart because they taught us calculus.

Let try to always cut cost in whatever we are building on Earth Because it is for our next generations use.

We must cost cut to the best result, quality and luxury taste.

We must build on eco friendly.

We must build to sustain any natural occurrences

Build for comfort.

Build to sustain mankind.

And this thread created by Hajji can help many prospects builders and onwers.

This one of the best thread on nairaland.

Note there are genuises architects, Engineers, QS, Builders and Artisans here.

Some people only come to nairaland because of this thread as guests

Some register on nairaland just to be able to comment because of this particular thread.

This thread is 6years old

Kudos to Hajji

You are correct bro.
I'm addicted to this thread..... For now though.... I easily get bored with things...
This thread pushed me to start building with my 30k salary as a teacher @micgray100 can attest to it.
By God's grace and by the 30k salary grace I'm renovating popsy's house, all thanks to this thread.
My workers always wondered how I got my experience cos I even 5ell them what they do and they marvel at the outcome , but they don't know.....
Although the thread is full of adverts now but I still thank guys here for their efforts.... I no wan mention names for now.... Someday I will....

saydfact:
It has to be 2 for environmental health and economic reasons too.

OK, thanks

Good morning bro
Pls some plumbers are of the opinion of using two plumbing waste pipes (one for faeces, one for waste water), while some are the opinion of using just one pipe for both faeces and waste water.
Pls what's ur advice...

rotecch77:
I have explained the preventive method for the back flow of odor here or on my thread Earlier

But to safe your self from some nearest future expanses ( your septic tank might always filled up quickly and your suckaway pit might not be able to accommodate the water anymore) this might cause serious expenses for you.
So to safe yourself from this drama it’s beta to go for DOUBLE STAKING system ( two way piping system)

OK, thanks

rotecch77:
Actually we have
Single stack and double stack waste piping system

Here is it, if you have your suck- away separate ( which is the most common one ) then go straight for double piping system ( one for waste water from bathing, washbasin, shower and the second piping will be for water from the wc waste

Thanks for the clear response. I actually have a separate soak away but still still trying to minimize cost.
Cos I learnt having it double is at extra cost.
If I use the single system, will my kitchen and toilet actually smell?

rotecch77:
We have 3 major types of sewage disposal.
1.Dilution ( treatment plant)
2.compactment.
3.Concervancy (Cesspole.

Cesspole. Its a single system where both effluency and waste water from bath ,kitchen are combine together into one septic tank. ..later dislurdge when filled up.

You will see that there is no SUCK AWAY PIT.in this system because the land is porous it can't accommodate water.
That is why the system is good for such area.( water lodge area)
More so there is a way and some fittings to use with the bathroom appliance to protect backflow of odour.
Contact professional for the setup..

Good days sir, how can this backflow of odour be prevented?

Good afternoon bro
I have a question o
Is there any implication of using one pipe to channel all the waste in the building.
Some plumbers suggest I use single pipe and then put a vent, while some suggest I use double pipe ;one for waste water, one for faeces.
They said if I use single the toilet will be smelling. While others said if I use a vent it won't smell.
Pls what do you advise?

michlins:
would you be "open minded" enough to experiment with your own build?

My secondary school still has a building (upstairs) that was built in 1925...the decking was not cast, just plank. The reinforcement or whatever it is called is bamboo it is still there...

@n3xt over to you since you use native sponge as underground drainage ���

Arrant nonsense...
Africa and nonsense

micgray100:

micgray100:
LIKE I SAID... PRAY TO GOD TO REMOVE POVERTY CURSE RUNNING IN YOUR FAMILY.... PRAY TO GOD TO REMOVE SPIRIT OF BACKWARDNESS IN YOUR LIFE DUE TO YOUR CRIMINAL UTTERANCES... THEY SAY 3 GENERATIONS DONT REMAIN POOR IN LIFE....

YOUR FATHER IS POOR, YOU ARE POOR, AND HOPING YOUR GENERATION TO COME REMAIN POOR...

MY ONLY ADVICE... GO FOR 7 DAYS AND NIGHT DELIVERANCE TO REMOVE THE GENERATIONAL CURSE IN YOUR HEAD... TWEHHH

information reaching me now is that your mother ran mad after you raped her and she was knocked down by an Olaf's rider. she died shamelessly on the road.
why sleep with your mother fool.
I heard your wife is has been used by yahoo boys that's why she is still barren. fool. impotent old fool. I spit on your useless mother's grave.

micgray100:
You are a common criminal ... Running behind of attitude for not fulfilling a commitment you made when no one forced you...

I know your type... Did my digging an realise you are a school teacher earning less than 30k... you even running after N-power Teaching job... that is when my hand drop ....

My advice for Audio criminals like you is to find a job first.. save and start building a property before you type here... Grow up boy... when Elders argue about Value for money... just go to God in prayer so you could also join one day. .

Stupid Fool Audio criminal.... May God purnish you and your audio 30k..

What is your 30k compared to The millions I have spent on the building project without even visiting the site...

SmallBoys full here... I think we should start screening here before anyone comment..

They just told me madness runs in your family...
Waste product, Tụfịakwa

twinskenny:
some of us are products of referrers i will take myself as an example... most of my clients i dont know them, they will tell me that someone refer me to them,. I don't take that grace for granted. the borehole guy just was just an unfortunate person, i told him if he deliver back then that I will keep referring him to more clients... there are lots of people on this forum that i can refers with my eyes closed.. what i have learnt is that i will not receive payment on your behalf ..

i was to travelled to far east some times ago, and the client asked me to source for best plumber, kitchen cabinet, painter, pop and all for him.. i did that for him without any incentive.

Pls keep doing the good work you are doing. It's never a bad thing to refer someone to someone, just caution is needed..

EgunMogaji2:
I fail to see how I warranted this abuse. It is well. I won’t vibe in your negativity though and simply bid you a good day.

Micfoolgray made a direct attack on me and you stylishly supported it. It is a connivance and as such becomes an indirect attack on me.

Apologies for the outburst sir.

megacontrol:
You people should be calming down…

Read his comment again and reference to the section he highlighted…. “Some people…”

[/b]His post was not targeted at you directly[b], unless you are “some people” or you feel there is indeed something to hide/uncover.

At the bolded, it's a good thing you knew it was an indirect target.

EgunMogaji2:
This has been proven many times on here. I just pity anyone that takes this shyte seriously.

Like seriously? Even you? Pls can you point out or screenshot where this has been proven before. If you prove it I will shamefully leave this section, but if you can't prove it then woe on onto you... I used to think you have sense.. Shameless old fool...
Prove it here for all to see. You don't just open your stinky mouth and be talking bull$hit.
Pls stop disgracing your old age.

micgray100:
SO YOU CAN TALK NOW... YOU FORGOT YOU MADE AUDIO COMMITMENT TO HELP REFUND 30K FROM THE UNCOMPLETED BOREHOLE ISSUE...

AFTER YOUR AUDIO PROMISE.. ONLY FOR YOU TO OPPOSE TO THE SIDE OF CAUTION OF THE SAID CULPRIT...
