@spyder880 Oga Spyder, I don't think the construction industry will take a direct hit from this dollar rise. The likely effect that will be felt might just be a demand for increase in wages, not prices of goods.

If you have a legitimate business, dollar is being exchanged at the bank for 199.70
Forget parallel market price of 400 Naira. I was surprised too when I heard it but it's true.

Besides, most of the building materials can be sourced locally. Except for people with high taste. If imported tiles are too expensive, do terrazzo. If gypsum boards are expensive, but asbestos.

Bottom line,

Buy Naija to grow the Naira

Oga the building industry has already been hit by the dollar issue.
I made an enquiry and got a price for a DB, on getting there after the weekend the price had increased by almost 10,000 naira.

Sir, I guessed that you haven't bought any aluminum roofing sheets for some time now or would you advise us to use asbestos.

You know that there are many things needed for building that cannot be sourced locally.

Congrats sir.

Can any BUILDING PROFESSIONAL tell me when it is the best time to remove the Bamboo struts under a Decking, from the day of Casting the Decking?

I have heard 10 days, 14 days, 21 days, 23 days...... but l want to know which is right, and why?
Tnx

I heard it's 21 - 28 days to allow for proper curing and to prevent a collapse.

I will be glad if someone here can help me address this.

I am a recent graduate with HND in Civil Engineering, I have up to two years working experience in the construction and real estate sector and just finished my NYSC last year.

I am proficient in the use of AutoCAD for drafting, Microsoft office packages, social network platforms, site supervision, quantity estimation and I can communicate orally and verbally.

I just need an opportunity to be in the industry in order to gain more experience and not to stay idle due to my passion for construction and real estate development. I won't mind little financial assistance though, I am a very loyal and trustworthy individual with great interest in real estate business and I can be reached on 0813 513 4212 or huthman27@gmail.com for my RESUME.

Pls sir, what is the difference between orally and verbally.

And what is little financial assistance meant for?

Hajji Mufutau, It seems the white Amoula PVC will go with POP in corners of the room? Pls do you have any picture of where these are combined? I just keep imagining but will like to see pics of similar work? Pls remind me of average cost of doing POP per sqmeter (with/without cornice) material and labour inclusive. Thanks

I will post a picture tomorrow or next.
POP is btw 2,500 - 3,500 per squared metres while cornice only is about 1,000 per metre.

Have you not heard that when you see a Landlord and Tenant playing Lovey-Dovey ...... something is just not right!
The "peace" between those two, in most cases, is usually temporary! One wants to collect money owed him legitimately, the other thinks he is not supposed to pay such money or that such money is an entitlement for him to become "Lord" over the landlord!
There is no "peaceful way" to deal with a bad tenant!

My nice tenants get gifts, at the end of the year. They know they can rely on me to deal with any "neighbourhood trouble" on their behalf.
I also help/encourage them to buy land and 'build something' for themselves. I have done a few "Tenant house warming" over the years.

Then there are the "Stubborn-He-Goats" amongst them.
They think they are smart and can play "games' with my rent and property!
Some have even threatened to live in my property for years without paying rent, saying they will continue to bribe the Court Registrar, to keep adjourning the Eviction process, .....if l take them to court!

Well, for such ones, l let them know that l am not a Landlord by chance! Courts are a waste of time!
I be proper "Ijebu man" wey learn from "elders" for yonder.

By the time one Tenant started having strings of calamity, one after another........ it wasn't long before his Pastor advised him to do "deliverance" for his entire family and leave that house!

If na to put "Agbaa'no" inside im purse, ....one financial problem or the other, we get am
if na to invite sickness or make him prone to sudden "accidents" like breaking legs/arms/shoulders by falling on a harmless staircase, we get am
If na to make his nightmares so bad that fighting in Sambissa forest will look like Boy-Scout jamboree, we get am
If na to use Agadangodo to "lock im car" so tey mechanic will begin to wonder whether it was the same oyinbo that did the car or not, we get am!
If na to touch am with "very tiny" madness, wey im go begin speak to imself, we get am.

Since im no wan commot my house and im no wan pay me, then he must be prepared to "eat and dine with the Devil", as long as im remain in that house.
One foolish man from yonder even go call Police (upon say im no wan commot my house peacefully) say im dey see strange things around his entrance door!
I asked the Police to charge me to court so that he can present his evidence to a Judge..... but it appears he is the only one seeing the "strange things"!
I therefore put it to the Police that he is beginning to suffer "mental disorder" and should be sent to a Psychiatrist!
But ofcourse, that was the purpose of the whole exercise sha. Just "small touch" of madness!
he moved out within three weeks ...but l collect every kobo im owe me before allowing him to escape.

So Bros, depending on the location and type of tenant, the measures are usually different.
Some sef, na to organise Boyz to always vandalize im vehicle, every alternate week days, for im to know say, he is no longer wanted in that area.

There was a time we had one "Baba" who was a rent Collector. If he visits you to collect rent, just make sure the rent is ready, when he comes back otherwise the person's household will "change" from that day! Fadeyi-Oloro sef na child's play compared to this evil Baba!
Man died in a ghastly car accident on his way back to Ilorin, after finishing some nasty work.

But l tell you, if you have a good tenant who takes care of your property like their own, who pays his or her rent as at when due and generally behave themselves, you need to treasure that tenant and even give then a "break" at times. I have a few like that.

More "orthodox ways" include using Housing/Property Agents like JJJide TTTTaiwo, DDDDayo FFFatimehin..... but be assured that those guys will trick and cheat you out of your rent at most times, if you are not extra vigilant, especially the former one l mentioned
They will rent out your property and not even inform you at all. They will increase your property's rent, wont tell you and keep the excess! I have seen cases like that so often.

Eitherway, the very nature of "Landlord and Tenant" relationship, is like that of a Cat and Mouse,.... the survival of one, may lead to the death of the other (figuratively speaking) !

I have been buying from him every month for about two years now (since the beginning of data share)

Even when I see others advertising for 1,000/1GB, I still buy from him at 1,200/1GB.

I have never met him in person but have once spoken with him on the phone and that was more than a year ago.

This is nice but it sounded sounds expensive.

When you want to put roof they will come, when you want to put windows there will come, when you finish there will come annually for "deve" fees will is development fees. To collect money from tenants will be a big headache. You be so frustrated sorry to say that you will sell off even at a loss

As for kidnapping? Anything is possible here ooo. Brabus may not want to pay and decide to kidnap him to keep it quiet. I hope I am wrong but it is not impossible ooo.

Kidnappers plenty for east oo and they are migrating to lagos as we dey speak now.

Mavverick said the approval is fake, brabus said it is not. Pls suggest how they can be made to be on the same page.

The status of the approval would have to be confirmed by the highest office in Lagos.

If they schedule to meet at alausa, (the approval was not done at alausa and Opeyemi doesn't work at alausa) they don't have to go in the same vehicle.

Have been following this Mr Maverick and Brabus issue and I must say that d height of hypocrisy on this faceless online thread stinks...why is every one keeping mute when obviously we all can read between the lines or is it that we are all just getting entertained with their write-ups instead of us all to call a spade a spade..?

@Oga or na madam Excuseme, thanks for taking time to get to the bottom of this issue jare. Bosun should pay the man his money or work something out with him.....

- 3strikes!!!

Sir, I don't think anyone here is afraid to call a spade 'a spade'. Before Excuzeme took up the matter, the lines were not very clear but now they are as clear as daylight.

Mavverick was promised a genuine approval but believes that the one he was given is fake.

Brabus insists that the approval is not fake.

My take is that Mavverick and Brabus should schedule for a meeting at Alausa to confirm the status of the approval.

brabus:
One day I hope to catch you for GTB. I'll just ask you to do the withdrawals for us to share.

Nice one mate!

Meanwhile, it's my birthday today! I dedicate this day to all those that are deprived of freedom.

So it's your birthday and u no tell us since morning, even though u get time.

Anyway, happy birthday. Do have a healthy and fulfilling year ahead.

Nice one. Their quality is very good.

I went for traffic black.

Good to hear that their quality is very good.
I am yet to receive and install the ones I paid for.

mufutau55:
Thank you. Please do obtain their price list... want to see how much their Metcopo cost.
hope their aluminium is good quality too.. Also please ask for 0.50 step tiles and long span..
Thank you very much.

Hajji M.

I will do that.

Rushtec:
Step tile Alum 0.45mm are Not to suitable, its has effects on d long run. Just add try add little 230 and get 0.55mm. Or better u get Longspan 0.45mm, if u gt no cash

Pls explain better.
Why is 0.45mm Aluminium step tiles not suitable for residential roofing?
What effects are you referring to?
What about 0.45mm Metcoppo?
Please share any negative experience.

EgunMogaji:
Thanks for sharing.

I'm assuming then you'll have to source transportation to you site. The reason I ask is that I've seen a post where it seems that the stuff was made onsite.

Yes sir. I have already arranged for the transportation.

mufutau55:
Please state it here, what prices they give you and for which type.
It will be very beneficial for those of us who cannot go there at present.
I have been looking at their site, but no prices or much info. Thanks.

Hajji M.

I went for 0.45mm Aluminium step tiles which they sold for N1,200/m and 0.45mm flat sheet which they sold for N1,100/m.

When I get there tomorrow, I will ask for their complete price list.

befto:
Thank you.
I presume you mean POP cornice downstairs and PVC ceiling upstairs?

He meant that when you use PVC ceilings, the edges where you have PVC clips would be covered with POP cornice.

If well done, you'll hardly tell that the entire ceiling is not POP.
