I really can’t remember but at a point I felt it’s almost cheaper/faster for me to ask chekitaut to bring the chippings for me from South West.

The place he went to probably makes use of an open yard where they have cutting machines that grinds the acquired larger stones to the specified sizes. People patronize such places most especially when they want their deliveries in daylight hours. Deliveries from Calabar and Abakaliki comes mostly in the night especially those whose papers have issues and who are avoiding taskforce on the road. Except they have changed even when they get to PHC by 4pm most stop along the express especially by Oil mill junction or some other safe place till about 7pm before heading to the specific delivery site.

The bolded is not true unless the 12mm is local while the 10mm is the imported brand. For your slab please use 12mm as against your supervisor suggestion of 10mm bars.

When I bought granite in Port Harcourt from Chinese people, they displayed their meter outside.

So you get to weigh your truck before loading, infact, they will tell the driver to disembark.

Then they weight it after loading. And you pay what you see on the meter.

Easy peasy.

I paid 20,000 transport for a 30 ton truck. I was in awe.

n3xt:


When I’m in least doubt, I go with small tippers. Here’s why:



Here’s a very good example:

Another contractor on my ongoing project used one trip of 20 tons and a few quantities of sand for his blinding while I use one trip of 10 tons and a very few quantity of stonedust for the same size of foundation; same depth and same approved mix ratio.

He used 10 tyre truck. I use 6 tyre tipper.

Good afternoon everyone. How is it going over there?

The hike in the cost of materials is a major concern. We are leveraging advance payment to trusted suppliers and bulk purchase to manage the situation.

How are you coping?

Quantity Surveyor, Cost Consultant, Project Manager.



One of the developers who engaged our service for supervision already paid for all reinforcements, Cement, blocks, granite and dust that will complete his project before the recent hike in price. As a result of the agreement signed, he is not affected by the current fluctuation in price of commodities.

He got the details from the material schedule we prepared for him. He is happy and smiling now. The project is about #50m

amosblisz:

I can relate with your challenges up there. I agree that Nigeria is one wild environment where things dont always go according to plan and l can only pray and wish you more growth and success, in your chosen occupation.
Just keep trying to put in your best and be extremely OPEN with your Customers, they will understand and be considerate. once they come to understand that your YES, is your YES.
It is just like Husband and Wife, once you TRUST your Wife, it odes not matter what happens, she only needs to inform you and you will find a way to accommodate it/her but once there is no trust, no matter what she says, there will always be suspicion and that is where the trouble stars from.
So, HONESTY and TRUST are the two most important ingredient, along with HUMILITY, to grow a business.

I have a very strong feeling you are rebuilding and coming back stronger, dont relent, God is your strength.
Let me go to the funky part:
I know it is not easy to save but 'savings' is the first money we 'spend' (keep aside) when we get salary or make profit.
1) Keep money aside, to build your business.
2) All these banks that see the turn-around in yoru business, can you approach them for a Loan, can you access Govt, business loans, to grow your business?
3) Since you cant afford buying a truck, just like that, can you buy a Smaller vehicle (Bus, Van, Canter, etc) that you can use in running smaller business, so it brings you income that you can now keep saving till it gets to the point where you can use it as a collateral to obtain a bigger bank loan?
4) Are you honest and straightforward enough, to the point that one of these Diasporeans can go into business partnership with you, send a truck down to Nigeria and you operate it on a 40/60 basis (or any other suitable percentage), saving most of your own part and looking forward to either buy-out the Oga in London/America or just build the business more and more, on the basis of that formula?

I am making these suggestions because l think you cannot allow yourself to be subject to all those problems, real problems above. You have to start thinking of stabilising your business and building a name for yourself. You wont be able to do so, if you have to depend on those drivers for the success of your business name. Nigeria is a harsh business environment.

Forgive me for carrying your matter on-top of my head, na those Poisoned Indomie Palliative dey worry me.
God bless your hustle, keep is honest and simple.
