michlins:

Adedward:
gud evening boss, this quote is ok, for frameless like this,
He quoted 4ft by 4ft = 54k
2ft by 2ft = 35k
Boss ,it's very on a good side, grap ur copy

kopell:
It’s all depends on individual choice, I already share my experience with the doors. Go there talk to them the will explain everything to you, when I bought mine they offered me cheaper ones for 90k for 3ft other 3ft for 130 to 150k. Those rugged not fancy looking are better for outdoor, the fancy ones are better for indoor from my personal experience.

FEGEITOK:
If you were Abuja based would have given you a contact for a second opinion on the pricing

kopell:
Bros many of these fancy doors are made with 1mm thick plates steels to cover the face, this is the ones I bought 3 years ago

twinskenny:
They all look beautiful outside

sonnie10:
I was going to buy these types of doors but people here mentioned that they don’t last. But I still want them thou.
Someone in Lagos said #250k for the 4 feet while 3 feet is #190k .

RockOfAgesAlumi:
Good morning sir
Sir according to what the person write I didn't see it clearly if the person can write the amount of each window then I can help in locating it he just total all together so tell him to separate it with the size and the amount of each.
.Frameless window with burglary and net right?
Thanks

bobkezel:
Yes location matters, 10 million is too much for that house in certain places. I know a place you can get it for 1 million with 10 tubers of yam, 1 ram, 1 male chicken, alligator pepper, bitter kola and native chalk.

FEGEITOK:
Smiles.

Privacy comes at a cost, like everything else.

In this particular instance, just as you can't be seen. If men of the underworld were to operate in your house, no one will know that something isn't right.

Nothing against high fences, but I wanted you to be aware of the potential cost of that extreme privacy.

This is why the police make an issue about tinted windows and the high and mighty die for them.

What an irony by the way.

michlins:
something like this is more complicated and beautiful, starting price should be around 300k for basic materials

michlins:
unless the person is working with wrought. That gate is extremely low budget

Olumighty123:
150k? And somebody up there said 400k

hslbroker2:
N400k

DMTtechnologies:
Pls go for something unbreakable.... "Almost" no go do am o

UC92:
It isn't ideal. Designers, builders and home owners just do that for want of space. You will agree with me that most homes where the gates are placed at the extreme, the style of parking there is usually tandem parking.

If your lot can afford a turning radius of 6m for cars, go ahead and place your gate wherever you want.

Abbeyb1ack:
You stated the reason alreadyfor ease of driving in and out
Imagine if the gate was positioned at the center in the picture sent ....dats W for wahala sir

sonnie10:
If you put ‘‘em for center, you no think say you go jam the house when you want drive in? Especially when you don put small liquor for head. And then, you go still dey make the turn turn to go park for comer, for to make space for your neighbor to enter. To much wahala!

FEGEITOK:
Can you see the water ingress? and the parts unaffected by the water ingress?

In one case water ingress reaches 80cm and on another wall, it reaches 120cm

FEGEITOK:
I forgot to add, because the previous posts were not meant to be comprehensive.

I had to have all the gravel washed so they were clean and had absolutely no soil clinging to them before they were allowed to form the base on which the concrete footing rests

FEGEITOK:
Pictures 3 and 4 show part of the preparatory works before the pour.

Will detail the full process and the thinking behind it here subsequently

It doesn't slow it down.

It masks it.

Eventually it will show up, but much later.

If you want to stop capillary action install a capillary break or several layers of capillary breaks.

Here is what I am currently doing

I installed a 4-inch-thick gravel bed (next time I plan to make it 6 inches)
