KolaShangOne: Quick question Sir... Recently I found out that the price of longspan from Agen Aluminium (Benin city) is a lil bit more or about same price as that of the stone coated tiles advertised here on nairaland. e.g 0.55mm Long span at Agen is 2850 naira while stone coated advertised here on nl ranges from 2k to 2800naira....As a layman i dont quite get how an imported product (supposedly og higher quality) is cheaper or about same price as a product produced locally. if then why do people then buy longspan at such prices and not use stone coated or why do Q.S use long span when you tell them moderate finishing but the prices re about same. is it the way they re quoted (square metres and metres)? I m just curious...Can you or anyone else please explain this? Thanks C. Edit Aside the woodwork which is much for the stonecoated any other plausible reason or am I missing something. |

EgunMogaji: Then i m forced to ask you..would the firm return any balance if there is a drop in selling price?....Prices re normally listed at selling rate and once payment is made deal is closed..what the man described was an increase in price after he made payment under the old price regime and then the firm calling him to inform about price increase after a week and subsquently asking him to pay the balance if it was a case of mistake in price list then it is understandable and the customer can be informed about the mistake..it is then the customer decision to pay the new price or simply ask for a refund. Increase in prices ought to ve an effective date and should not be applied retroactively. in the case of making orders..the firm should inform their clients when the new price regime will come into effect. If you ve the contract you can share it with us..but until then what the man described above can best be described as Bullshi.t and should not be done by any reputable firm 3 Likes |

Daboomb: thank u...it is nothing but breach of contract..and i can bet my balls on it that if the price had dropped the firm wont ve reimbursed him the difference... Increase in prices cannot be applied retroactively so they cant ask him to pay the new price since he paid under the old price regime. Increase in prices ought to ve an effective date and regular customers ought to be informed..Under normal circumstances he will simply approach the consumer protection agency and the company will be called to order..it wont even happen in the first place..

peterphd: people will gladly pay if the hardware store sells reliable stuffs and affordable prices. we normally get most building materials and home improvement stuffs from the Bauhaus. It is very easy...u visit their site ..see the price or call them for enquiries but this is almost missing in all sectors in Nigeria. Dealing with such stores are usually much easier as they deliver to your sites and you can easily make enquires by calling their hotlines and check for prices online. They re trustworthy and normally ve a name to protect and ideally will not try to short change you. I dont get how we do buisness in Nigeria...Take for example..the prices of materials re usually omitted from the webpage of some companies. They dont reply messages sent via contact forms...when you even call the listed numbers ...it is often private phone numbers and the responder may be driving and tell you to call back The ease of doing business is something we need to work on... 6 Likes 1 Share |

Sprumbabafather: this I dont understand ..the scarcasm seems to ve hidden the message Can you please throw more light on it....Cos yday i ve asked abt roofing sheets made in lagos and possible gimmicks by sellers....are you in anyway referring to this and what happened in 84? Do u ve a review abt this... to be honest I m skeptical abt the whole ish now ...I ve tried to follow up with some of the reviewers to ascertain if they really bought the material they claimed...cos some reviewers were posting for the 3rd time and all 3 times were just abt reviews.... we all know how some reviews re made .. the Alibaba and amazon review style . I ve messaged @Kenosas who gave a review of buying in lagos and installin in benin while residing in finland without hassles...but unfortunately i ve not recieved any reply. I dont know how the property section works...abeg make una talk the koko i nor wan come dey run after anybody. what surprises me is that the company/seller have refused to do a pay on delivery method but wants me to pay 1.5M to an account base on trust... I was willing to pay for the transport and 10-20% upfront and pay the balance once the guage is confirmed in Benin... I also asked if they could set a verification with the bank so the bank can withhold the money until i confirm the guage but they refused and insist on payin a 1.5M upfront. To me (I may be very wrong ) I'd expect the company to accept this since they will still be in possession of the materials in benin until i confirm the guage and the length. How do you guys deal with such companies/sellers? I ve had horrible experience of recent and my distrust level is at an all time high please i need ur suggestions on how to go about this...I ve done my woodwork and running against time. oga @spyder @mufutau and @EgunMogaji and other ogas them abeg una get experience buying from these companies in lagos? 1 Like |

akinolaolujide: even if you use a 0.45mm instead of a 0.55mm...will that lead to such level of leakage?..I ve no experience in this but i suppose a thickness of .10mm which is less than 20% difference in thickness should not lead to such amount of leakage under 2years...the roof posted by @diordaves looks sloped and should not have such issues.. and can you please tell us what is the cause of this price difference between lagos and Benin?

Good day All, I need informed opinions about this issue. I m currently planning to roof my project in Benin Using 0.55mm metcopo. The prices in Benin are 1000 naira / metre more than the prices in lagos.(advertised here on nairaland). The roofing area is ca. 550 metres. thats 550k and i m now inclined to buy the roofing sheets from lagos. my questions are 1. Whats the reason for this price disparity between the price in lagos and that in Benin. 2. for those who' ve bought theirs in Lagos....did you make payment before delivery or after delivery? 3. what re the common gimmicks to watch out for. I ve suggested to the seller to pay upon reciept or he should organise with the bank to withhold the money until i confirm receipt. my fears are from my experience dealing with contractors or artisans in nigeria..most recently was the paraphet contractor i met online(jijg or so)...It took pressure for my friends for him to finish the job..and the job went on for 2 more weeks more than the estimated date of delivery ...I will not even go into how the carpenter ran away with part payment and i had to pay another capernter to finish the wood work...it was horrible experience and the last thing i need now is to go through such again thanks in anticipation for a prompt reply. Happy Holidays! 1 Like |

Teewhy2: Thanks for the response. I do understand your points..there re several ways in which things can be done but there is always the best and standard way. You ve said and I quote "I believe the roof beam only make it more firm when it is casted with the parapet. This building already has its roofing done with no roof beams on it." So in your opinion the roof beam makes it more firm. However you can also fix it without a roof beam..whats the guarantee that it wont fall off if fixed without a roof beam? As you know a house is a long term investment and it is better to do things the right way from the scratch. My site engineer has informed me that his original plan is to cover the last blocks (hollow)with casting but without rods..(no roof beams). will this be enough to hang the paraphet? will it make it firm as using a roof beam? Lastly I will advise you add the estimate of the roof beam and also state that it is optional so clients can make an informed decision. Thanks in anticipation for a prompt and favourable reply. C. |

Teewhy2: Good day Teewhy, Thanks for the wonderful analysis.. If I understand correctly installing the polystrene paraphet will entail using soft wood and prolly light casting..If yes can you give an estimate of these 2 variables using the 57 linear metre in your previous analysis and update your previous comparison if possible. I am interested in this as I ve a project which is 60 Lm and i have decided to use the polystrene paraphet. Thanks in anticipation for a prompt and favourable reply. Cindino |

Good day, I would like to enquire about the cost per metre of installing this polystyrene parapet. the dimension of my project is ca.(10 by 20) metres. I also sent you a mail if you dont wanna drop the price here. Advise: I think it will be better for you and for future clients if you drop an a sample cost evaluation here on nairaland.. Thanks |
