Nope it is the picture that makes it look like that. Even me I was confused and I had to go look at it again. It is very straight and a slight issue with the plastering in the front cos of rain but we have corrected that afterward

People deceive people. I really appreciate the professionals in this house. 13m and 20m is a lot of money but I appreciate those that are saying the truth here. 13th will only try may be close to roofing on a dry land. 20m may not be enough but with extra 6m you should have something called a duplex. Please note that am not an engineer but I have spent 17m on this house at this stage. So do the calculations by your self



timesup234:
This is a small house from the number of windows I counted on one side. A four bedroom duplex can be built for 18 million to 100% complete stage. If you check my previous posts you will find out I have been giving the cheapest quotations on this thread. My problem is with that dude who said he built his house to roofing stage with 850k land inclusive

Ok. I will get the plan available. As for the green wire, does it mean that he omitted it or there is other ways to handle that


topsy23:



The quote can only be questioned IF the plan of the house is available...

2.5mm and 4mm quantities are okay based on the size of the building and am very sure each room will have AC including sitting room and each toilet will also have water heater...

The only quantity that looks suspicious is the 1.5mm red BUT if external light as included it's okay... Also I noticed that there is no green or yellow colour which is the earth cable in 2.5mm and 4mm cable .

Hello the experience and professionals in the house.

Kindly advise me on the quotation for wiring attached here. The house is a portable 4 bedroom duplex with a Bq. It occupies about 200sqm. I feel the materials is too much and I sense the man may want to buy them in excess and take the rest home since am the one buying them. It is a full conduit. This phase is to draw buy wire and draw it

Hello people!

A trial actually convinced me


Not long ago on this platform, I requested for a professional Carpenter and aluminium roofer for my mini 3 bedroom project, and got contacted by ADEDWARD, whom I initially doubted for some reasons. One of the reasons for my doubt is that he quoted far below others and even when I still choose to reduce the quantity quoted, he promised to work around it and still make it work. Hence, I was afraid he might be a scammer.

I read some comments about him here and some have actually criticized him on this same basis. Yet, I still chose to work with him because when I engaged him, he sounded like someone who knows what he is doing. More so, he was the only one reiterating to me the importance of using quality wood for the roofing and the negative consequences of not doing so.

In a nutshell, I decided to give him the job and alas! He proved me beyond reasonable doubt. I am a very hard person and he was able to manage me still, even when I call him with crazy voice complaining, he will calm me down and tell me I will be happy at last. I know such quality is not common with people with such hand work as I have worked with few.

I will always recommend him to friends and family, and to you all nairalander with similar projects now and in the future....

Hmmm I wish I had seen this recommendation 3 weeks ago. Well done adeward

Properties / Re: Deed Of Assignment And What You Should Look Out For by elengine: 10:19pm On Jun 19, 2019
TheLawyer:


Do you actually mean a land document?if yes, it's better a lawyer does it. But if you mean land verification, Yes, we can do that. It involves many things depending on the property in question. A lawyer is better to do your verification because of the many things to check during verification / investigation. And most times we work with surveyors. You cant do without a surveyor when it comes to land transaction.

My client was interested in a property. so he showed me the documents and sought for my advice. After going through it i advised him not to purchase it and he was surprised. he expected me to do some Jack Bauer stunt before coming into conclusion. He asked why I submitted so.

After going through the document I realized that it revealed that the original was missing and also, the so called photocopied deed of assignment was not even signed. I told him to run away with his hard earned money


Hello professionals in the house. I bought a land from Mr A who bought it from family B many years ago. Now I have done one deed of assignment with Mr A and I have decided to do another one with family B but I want to also ask Mr A to witness the deed am doing with family B. What is the legal implications of this and is it okay for Mr A to witness the deed

Is this a turkey door ?
A good turkey door doesn’t fade easily, it is made of steel and can’t be burgled easily.
I have installed turkey doors for various projects and they are still fine.

Yes it is a turkey door according to the seller. The price for 3ft is 60k while 4ft is 90k. My concern is that I saw another turkey of the same look and size for like 220k. So I don't know if am just wasting my money to buy the 90k own since it is cheap compared to 220k

I have been a tenant for the past 4 years at a property and just a month into the 5th year. Before the end of my 4th-year tenancy, I made a deposit of more than half of my annual rent, say 75%. But the property owner is threatening me with notice to quit just the month after the end of my 4th-year tenancy. Note that my 4th-year rent expired in April 2019, the deposit I made is effective from May 2019 and the notice came in yesterday. What do you advise? Do I take my deposit and quit? In the threat notice, it is claimed I am a tenant at will and I have discovered a tenant at will is one who's holding on to a property after the expiration of rent. Given that I made part-payment to renew and it was accepted, is it right for the owner to claim I am a tenant at will??

My brother, you are not a tenant at will. If you have been paying your rent annually within this 4 years and you have paid 75% of the current year. You are simply a annual tenant which means the landlord is expected to give you 6 months notice. The law is very clear. Please get a good lawyer to discuss this with and get him to reply the landlord lawyer immediately. I am sure he will be shocked. I believe you live in Lagos oh cos the law is only applicable to lagos

There has to be a standard for labour pricing, so we dont under-price workers and over-price clients. Funny enough there are more supply of labour in lagos than anywhere else, yet our prices are still roof-high.
@goodfaith,

i sent you a pm.

i have a project in ibeju lekki that am about to plaster, a 4bedroom duplex and a twin 2bedroom flat. i try to avoid labour from that lekki/ ibeju lekki axis, from experience , so i decided to cross water and get one from ikorodu. when the guy give me bill, i was in shock!.

1.65m internal external and fence!!. (i am pretty sure he saw the size of the building and ofcos the building was in lekki/ibeju lekki axis)

i told him if i see any client give him that kind of money for plastering, i myself will go and learn how to plaster. after a month he is begging for 700k! i still feel i can get it cheaper.

we grind hard for this money.

Bro, have you seen the guys pre ious work? If he is good please you can send me his no as well. That is if he eventually does your work and you are satisfied then I will use him too

Oga,
There's no need to argue the price. They are the ones doing the job.

Let them say how much is per partition or if its daily pay, how many partitions make up that pay?
And how many partitions are in the said duplex?

OK while we are here deliberating on the reasonableness of Mason charges for plastering, I need a quotation for plastering this 4 bed room duplex plus a small room and a bq. The house is built on approximately 200 Sqm. It is a portable house and am attaching the Pic here. Sorry it is not that clear. The location is inside an estate at warewa, before Arepo

hello all,
I've noticed many people complain about the frustration of getting P.O.P contractors to give a rough estimate of a building. I've been called scam and such countless times simply because i asked for measurements instead of just quoting something off my head like those in the plumbing, wiring or roofing industry.
The thing is that ceiling differ from all the above simply because measurement depends on a number of factors. Lets say you need a rough quotation for a 3 bedroom flat we have to take into consideration how many other rooms are inclusive i.e laundry room, waiting room, living room, store, walkway, verander, balcony and en-suite. the sizes of each room also matter. Sure, rough estimates can be given if we are able to see the rooms physically, even without measuring.
Therefore,what we do is give you the price per square meter and we go from there. let's say a square meter is #3500 and the square meter for your bedroom is 50, that's 3500*50, and then you do the same for the other rooms. That's how you arrive at the final quotation. I won't just give you an amount off the top of my head simply because you say it's a 3 bedroom flat.
Mind you, the price per square meter is the workmanship and the material. you are not expected to provide the materials.

We will keep in touch

It is charged per sqm. Volume, location and most importantly type of design are major factors in deciding rates per sqm. Don't let anyone deceive you that there is a fixed rate per sqm for POP ceiling.
There is what I call
Budget designs(image 1),
Average design(image 2) and
Luxury design(image 3)
In budget designs, one is expected to use a bag of POP cement for 2.8 - 3sqm, 2 - 2.5sqm for average designs and 1 - 1.5sqm for luxury designs. So, since materials involve and time to achieve these designs ain't same, it is expected for rates to vary. Talk of quality ceiling or POP Precast vs Plasterboard is a discussion for another day.
At the moment based on the present hike in POP materials, you can get a good ceiling from 4,000/sqm. Maybe a little lesser if your project is in the eastern part of the country(POP materials is cheaper in the east at the moment).






Your response is detailed. You deserve to be given a contract
