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. You are super nice guy..show us what you do ..maybe show us a bucket of silk and a bucket of satin...you make top quality paint and your customer relation is top class . wish you show that paint here more often for those in the back and new perspective customers . |

Tee92: 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. I was surprised too...back in the days our 2 mack trucks did 30 tons each...one trip a day akamkpa to crushed rock eleme.. Udeoye abakiliki to crushed rock aba road port-harcourt... I may find some old invoice from 20 years ago... We lost that contract when drivers started cutting 10-20 or more headpans of stones and use water to make the weight..I have shared this story once before... |

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

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. Good to know....cheers 😂😂 |

Dubemcapital1: 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?

topsy23: The document attached is the charges for different capacity of transformers.. The best is to have your prepaid meter installed because the postpaid is going to be killer charges..
The load shedding is important to avoid overload on the transformer. Normally provisions of transformer suppose to be government but here in Nigeria individuals will buy transformer and after installation it will become government property.
Get another transformer will be the best if there is cooperation among the communities.. We have bought the transformer and has been delivered few weeks ago. It's just terrible you spend your own money for transformer and now pay government to allow you to install it and also pay them to commission it...price of installation is almost a 3rd of cost of transformer Nemssa fee for the size of transformer I bought is 40,000 but quotations says 450,000 |

topsy23: The fees varies boss, the last one we completed was 2m naira. They gave 4m fees and started negotiating till agreed to pay 2m ..
What they normally change is based on how many building in the compound. Number of high rise building within the compound. Their charges are not fixed, it varies. Thank you very much for your input. This is for my small village one transformer has just become too small and always fuse explosion..people are building new house everyday...we decided load-shedding may help and bought this new one ..look at the document below

topsy23: Good evening sir, i have one or two things to point out from the quotation .
1. The aluminium conductor of 100mm will not be approve by PHCN, they do not accept 100mm anymore for the installation of transformer, The least they accept is 150mm.
2. The 70mm 4-core armoured cable he quoted for, hmmm i guess the man is using imported cable for the installation . Nigeria cable is more expensive compare to what he quoted for.
3. 300mm is also an imported cable too cos Nigeria cable is more than that
4. PHCN/ NEMSA will not allow ordinary pot insulator what they normally approve is silicon type Thank you very much...in essence the quotations may not do the job...nemsa fees ? Googled a bit fees quoted seems a bit higher than what nemsa is asking for .... |
