Chief, spend this euro nau

Oga mi dis one U dey scam us since with kobo kobo analysis wey I dey quiet since I nor talk ohh���.
PMB jst leave is for Uk nah till nxt year we go recover

spyder880:
Only when you are using PVC ceiling or the old boards sold in the market. This is because they need the plaster as support under it. When you are doing POP ceiling, you better plaster before the ceiling.

well I thi k Im not doing POP in most of them

spyder880:
1. Internal wall piping for plumbing and electrical equipment
2. Plastering
3. Ceiling
4. Windows
5. Door frames
6. Wall Screeding
7. Tiles

Thanks appreciate

spyder880:
Plastering for me.

On plastering does the "fate" of the building looks lie. Mistakes could be made on the wall or concrete casts and corrected by filling or scrapping/chizeling, mistakes could be made on the piping and corrected, but a mistake made with plastering is not easy to correct, it might stay there forever.

The worst thing is that a good screeding work cannot hide a crooked plastering work, an expensive painting cannot correct a bent wall edge or shoddy plastering work. It's even worse when you have an eye for details, you will be seeing the bent and crooked lines daily!
That could be very stressful

Pls my Oga set me straight on this one, between Plastering, windows, ceiling, plumbing, what order should one proceed that industrial pro like you follow

tonididdy:
Because they are extortionist who don't have a fixed price but have various prices for different customers.

Many of them Don know the definition of affordable. A businessman determines price himself, no price monitoring committee. That's why we have the issue of inflation at hand now because govt organizations setup for this purposes have failed to do their jobs.

A price of paint skyrockets from 7000 to 13000, nobody challenges this, they sell both old and new stocks for the new price. A popular highly patronised paint company in Nigeria, reduced quality and increased price (why not reduce quality and keep the price)

Ps: I don't come in peace ✌, I said what I said

You know I did not wanna label them as such cos I nor get the energy to E_fight today me and this guy we dey the pic down there get an appt. This is so disheartening, put the cost of product nah fight, even as dodgy as china is, the put prices, its up to you to chose what one you want, In real life we will haggle price, on the net you want people to haggle price too it is well with us Nigerians.

Blessedsunny2:
Thanks sir but others have been buying from this platform so that I will not disturb others business

This is a big problem with you guys who sell in Nigeria, the vast majority of people living abroad are used to see the price. like it, can afford it? pay and collect. You have no idea how this price hide is limiting your sale, truly you have no IDEA

Unless where the client insists, step tiles are not meant for flat roofs.

I won't call that a flat roof as it has an inclination!

bixton:
What will make the roof to fail?
So your assertion is that a flat roof has a higher probability of failing due to rainfall or what ?

:

Well yes, and other environmental factors, Imagine having long-span aluminum in an area where you have heavy snow, guess what will happen.The major fault of a bad roofing system would be a leaking roof. When sourcing for my roof, I discovered that most of these step styles are built to failed cos sometimes the die used in casting the moulds on them dig too deep and leave micro piercing on them that you can't even see with the naked eyes, these expand as time goes on. Then on top of this, You want to make it flat.
PS By flat roof hope we are talking of a roof with no inclination!

SandraJane:
Operatives of the Lagos Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested one Adeleke Adeyemi for his involvement in an alleged case of conspiracy, obtaining money by false pretence, diversion of funds, issuance of dud cheques and money laundering to the tune of N800,000.00( Eight Hundred Million Naira).

Adeyemi, together with his accomplice, Odusanya Ayotunde Memphis (now at large), in their capacities as directors at Wafa Aggregate Limited, allegedly approached Eco Bank Plc for a loan facility of N800million for the procurement of petroleum products from Covalent Oil & Gas Services Limited in October, 2011[color=#000000].[/color]

Upon receipt of the loan facility, Adeyemi and Memphis allegedly diverted the funds to their personal use and defaulted in paying back the loan.
Investigation revealed that the five Diamond Bank Plc cheques of N10million each issued by the suspect and his accomplice were returned unpaid upon presentation.

The suspect will soon be charged to court.

Poor case, EFCC will lose this already, this is a case of they owe bank If they declare bankruptcy case close! The bank failed to do their own investigation or if not the bank staff are amongst.

My Oga, I totally enjoyed your work on your building, the house also came out fine.

Thanks

spyder880:
How can we all get back to learning how to build beautiful and cost efficient houses like we had when this thread started? Coming to this thread to read anything not connected to house building is tiring.
Happy weekend everyone.

How could I have managed to build my house to the level it is now if not for guys like you and kola and the rest pro I n the house? Thank God we can now go back to talk about houses and the challenges we face in Nigeria and how we can use our own initiatives to solve the challenges!
Fire down boss, I cant wait to see what you got in your safe

michlins:
you're right. I was opportuned to get experience under one generator dealer in Nnewi. He will import piston from China and then the label. The piston is labelled Lister and Perkins and so is the imported label but they're China made

Now you don call Piston, I dey look for one perkins Piston ohh, one of my Madam diesel Gen pack up we nor see the piston, worse case Engine and serial number nor dey the body, so an only picture we get, I dismantled the Gen just now b4 I rtn, we don find tire

I made a transfer of 75k to my plumbers account. Guess what? He’s owing the bank 72k... and you can guess the rest of the story.

_______
I mobilized a window fabricator with 750k to start producing windows for one of my project. He showed me pictures of the job being done and asked for more money. I sent him another 500k and hoping to balance on delivery.
The guy jet out to Saudi for lesser hajj.

On getting to his shop, we discovered he was showing the same window to 3 different contractors.

Since 2014, you’d do all my finishing work on site. That’s why I’ve bought almost every tool my artisans will require to do his/her job.

_____

Even as I type I just went to buy spare circular blade for my carpenters.

Oftentimes, it’s not always about saving monies but the emotional stress.

So as kola rightly shared above there are too many things you can’t account for while handling a construction project.

Doing business in NIgeria one has to have an open mind and a big heart to accommodate all eventualities, reason, we do not sure businesses against loss and as such we bear all losses.My friend buys car for people in Nigeria he is based I n USA, This guy bought a car for a customer $5500 in 2012 at a petrol station forecourt paid in full and went to bring a loader, B4 he came back car was gone and he had two keys o n his hand, Now tell me how does he explain that to his customer back in lagos, nah so this guy begin pay Gbese, Money wey E nor chop.We just have to pray say money we nor chop make we nor Pay ohhhh

Coming from a red cap chief and pro-20ft kingpost chairmo I do not expect anything different.

However, Dubai is 35 degree celcius and almost all the modern builds in that arid zone are flat roofs.

How are they coping with flat roofs?

#sustainabledesigns

Read what I posted to this your question, when roof fails what does that mean? it leaks water abi?now ask yourself bross howmany rain dey fall for the whole UAE?so these kind roof suits them cos rain nor dey

KolaShangOne:
This is so true. Things can go wrong!!!

Things can go terribly wrong and its nobody's fault.

*Rain falls and washes away concrete worth hundreds of thousands

*your reputable supplier refuse to supply or absconded with money

*a wrong aggregate of granite and u have to buy another.

*Even a QS estimate can go wrong

*Logistics can take 50% of your supervision fee.

Etc etc..

Me knowing what I know now, I don't think anyone can pay me enough to take the wahala that comes with being a builder, knowing myself I will flip.
Typical example during my decking process I paid for a load of concrete for decking and I was supplied that small chippings I 4got the gauge now.Now this supplier is a very close friend to my Mrs if not egbe for back, she begged me to supply another load of the correct gauge and that I should pay her whenever I can for the wrong load. Now imagine if that was for a job Im doing as a contractor, N260k as at then for don get k leg and plenty explanation. here https://www.nairaland.com/2804484/diy-construction-house-ph

Very clear and correct...

From first glance Special Programs and Suspension are messed up

OP get mind and he called it 2012
PS, check the lettering at the front tell me what it says

davodyguy:
All 10 lights weigh 2 kg.

Let's assume the highest shipping cost per kg is ₦5,500(which is still high compared to what I pay), this gives us ₦11,000.

Cost of 10 lights is ₦8,400
+
Cost of shipping 10 lights to Ajao Estate Lagos is ₦11,000
+
Transportation from my office to pick it up is ₦2000

Total: ₦2000+₦11,000+₦8400= ₦21,400

Let's add profit margin of 50% of cost = ₦17,200

Profit + Cost= selling price
₦17,200 + ₦21,400= ₦38,600

₦38,600/10 items
Each item should be ₦3,860.

Let's just even increase everything, this takes us to ₦5,000 per unit.

At ₦5,000 per unit he's making over 50% as profit.

₦10,000 per item is greed

Are we talking Air frieght??

diordaves:
Flat roof is cheap not relative to itself but relative to hip roof, gable roof or hip and valley roof.

If this same roof is done to standard for a hip roof or gable roof or hip and valley roof with same material, your cost outlay will be more.

Don't get me wrong, flat roof has its purpose and relevance in some situations but done to standard or not, technically speaking, flat roof has a higher propensity to fail periodically over time than hip roof for example.

Flat roof na high maintenance babe.

I agree with you, some of these designs are prompt to specific climes,.places like the Uk where a rain for one day in Nigeria takes two years to fall here U come carry ur hand go build basement for lekki unto say you see am for London!

davodyguy:
Some of what you posted above is misinformation.

Close (if not more) to 50% of world supplies come from China.

They have standard and what most importers to Nigeria do is to tell manufacturers the standard they want. So if you see fake items from China, it's the standard requested that was produced

There are some merchants on Alibaba that sell in small quantities. Yes AliExpress is the retail market, while Alibaba is for wholesalers. Hence, for building projects that you need items in Large items for, you can buy through Alibaba and for smaller quantities, you can use Ali Express.

Also, AliExpress don't take forever to ship. One or two merchants can delay, but over 50% of them keep to time.

In the last 5 years, I've had the opportunity of buying items myself from over 6 countries and I can tell you they have original items and less original.

Truth be told, China is a blessing to Nigerians.

When you go to Mushin or Orílè and people tell this door is from Turkey, it's a lie. It's from China, but the design is what they use in Turkey, hence they call is 'Turkey door'

This Stainless steel handrail is from Turkey, in fact, they would write Turkey on it, but it's from China.

Let's do a test using Lagos as case study.

The major markets are:
Lagos Island(Adeniji, Idumagbo, Jankara, oroyinyin)
Orile
Mushin
Kétu
Alaba

70% or more of the socket, Fan, Electric kettles, iron, lights, doors, cartridge for printers, etc are from China

The remaining 30% from all other countries

This is very correct

somehow:
This is unnecessary
Brabus himself won't say I am an opposing side.

I am not one of those you are thinking.

Noted.2much back n fort on here.

LeJeun3:


Na why I dey ask am which engine dey inside...

I figured out what was done here, this is a pre-2007 car,.Dash changed hence the key and start/stop. Look at the I instrumental display, that's a dead giveaway and cos they could not integrate the entertainment system and the Andriod screen was shoved in there.

LeJeun3:


Please I would like to see the engine inside this car.....

I can see a push start button and a key start, I can see an android head unit, I can see a gear selector that's different, I can see special functions not available

I do not understand the push start/stop button and keys together , that throws me off

Greenarrow01:
Brabus
I consider you to be one of the best on here. If not the best.
The truth is that despite all these allegations, I will still use you for my build when my money reach.
But for now
It's better you trash this talk once and for all.
If client brought you on to supervise the project pls talk.
If he made you to cut corners pls say.
Clients can be difficult sometimes.
I made my babalati to cut corners on one of my fence and it cost me.
I dare not blame him.
So pls bring on these people and trash this thing once and for all
Or
When they post pls stop quoting them.

Then I. Will trash talk some people on here
With all due respect.
Some of y'all are behaving like Hippocrates
I feel like mentioning names
But haba
Someone is derailing this thread.
Y'all can bring an end to this.
Bring both parties together and find an end to this issue.
Someone like egun mogaji is well respected by people on here. He can try to get both of them together.
These people still feel pain from their job with brabus.
And I am sure they can stop all these derailing if the bigger men try to settle it.

Imagine robosky bringing on a new mantra when this issue started
" All action and no talk"
This is obviously intended for brabus.
I think elders should always behave like elders.

Everybody just dey fuckup

This was done nearly 4 years ago. Why the sudden rude awakening? beats my guts! Now anyone who advises that this issue should be left alone is labeled as one of Brabus moniker or taking sides with brabus.No worry very soon dem go soon say You be one of his monikers
if say my ID predates brabus I would have been labeled as such right about now!
