Thanks a lot dear, I think so too.

michlins:
what do I need to get. Thank you

Well, googles estimate of the distance is 20km and expects the time taken to reach the town to be 20mins from the quarry to the site's location. Lets even say 25km. I think the cost of transport is high.

Overall, I think I saved money buying before their price increment and also getting the correct quantity. Previously, I give the driver money for 30 tons and he will probably buy either 20 tons or 22 tons.

Today, I purchased 25 Tons granite for my upper floor lintel and parapet cast.
Site is in Ebonyi State.

I sent my Engr. to the Quarry because of the belief that the drivers whom we entrust the entire purchase on often cheats. Fortunately, he went on Wednesday and was told that the price is ₦13,700/ton and the price will be reviewed starting from today to ₦15,700/ton. We luckily made payment yesterday and took delivery today. As at yesterday, the queue was much and they concentrated on Setraco Trucks.

We were also told that the 10 tyres tipper can not carry 30 tons and was advised to go for 28 tons. Due to the price at hand, I decided to buy 25 tons and its the best decision because I doubt the truck could have carried 28 tons.

Total cost:

Granite = ₦13,700/ton x 25 = ₦342,000
Government Toll = Flat Rate = ₦7,000
Transportation = N100,000
Total = ₦449,500

I think drivers are the biggest beneficiaries of this business. Because the distance is not too far yet they charged ₦100k.

I gave my Engr. N5k for Transport.

michlins:

michlins:
Ideal height for such is 3ft. Raising it to 5ft will make it too cumbersome to move and a total waste of materials

michlins:
height of 5ft?

Why would you want to do that please sir

michlins:
use 2½" by 4mm angle bar to do the tank stand. It will carry it efficiently

I read you correctly the first time but assumed you meant the actual painting picture of the products because you can't really distinguish different types or grades of paints from looking at the bucket.
You can't notice any difference even with the opened wet bucket.
It's is only after application you can determine the type of paint due to the flatness, sheen etc hence why I post actual painted pictures and give description of the type of paint used.

Budget emulsion is the cheapest and lowest quality obviously due to low materials used. It can only be used for internal manageably and ceiling where nothing touches. Spread rate: 40 sqm for 2 coats 30 liters.
Premium emulsion is higher quality that is durable for both internal and external use due to better quality and volume of materials used. It can be used on screeded and unscreeded walls. Spread rate: 50 sqm for 2 coats per 20 liters
Matte emulsion has low sheen, is flat and cleanable. It's best suited for screeded walls or smooth plastered wall with emulsion primer first applied to smoothen it. Spread rate is 50 sqm for 2 coats 20 liters drum.
Satin has high sheen, is flat and cleanable. Best suited for screeded walls and best to use stabilizing solution after sandpaper application of the screeding to prevent easy peeling. Spread rate is 60 sqm > per 20 liters drum.
Silk is basically satin with higher quality, i.e more solid content or lower water content to give more tougher coat.

Thank you very much sir.
I will post some recent jobs with permission but some of the ones we are handling presently doesn't me being told to keep private due to the size and sensitivity.

Sarcasm and sense of humor is a sign of high intelligence capability according to scholars.
My profound gratitude to my bosses and chairmen here for believing in me and by the special grace of God, I will never disappoint you all.

Ohk...thanks for the clarification.

Fleece keeh.. Maybe it's you that don't know much about Chippings Haulage. Trucks that run Julius Berger Haulage and other construction companies carry 30 tons and above from saturn and other quarry in Akamkpa, and You can't even bid for the Haulage job if you don't carry high tonnage....
For companies that allow high tonnage of 30 tons and above:
Saturn and mark sino in Akamkpa.
Old China and other quarry plants in Amasiri and Ishiagu.
Even those quarries along Benin-Ore Road.

Someone was alerting people on TikTok yesterday that price of cement would soon hit 9k plus due to demand for use in road construction by this government.
I'm reading today that otedola the serial investor/speculator bought 6 billion worth of dangote cement shares.

Suddenly it Seems there is a competition among vendors to outdo themselves with there adverts on this thread , more like spamming to me , not nice at all

spyder880:


It's close, but not too close to main Enugu city centre. Its closer to the newer developments at around Nike axis, going down to Nsukka. Its a nice place at Ugwuogo Nike.

The market that is nearer to the city centre is the new Building materials market at Ugwuaji on the Port Harcourt Express road.

spyder880:


Just keep it silent

That's where I buy most of the tiles I use in many mid range building projects. They make a lot of quality products like Goodwill and other brands. But the tiles I used for this very project is not from this company. Another big company is just starting around the same location.

What actually is the problem with Nigerian youth or should I rather ask what is the problems with building contruction skills here in the east. Yesterday at the site all the workers that was at wok over 15 of them in my site were other tribes and 50% are not Nigerians except one igbo boy.

I was worried about that?

What are the possible ways we can help improve this situation please
