Me ke? I don’t trust those surveys a bit let alone the guys in the business. They’re mostly rogues.

They once did a federal govt borehole for me.
A FG borehole is a borehole that works during commissioning but stop working after official handing over

Geologist's are rogues now Brabus? you gave your job to rogues, dont generalize.

jabolo:
After engaging a qualified 'Engineer' to carry out the works, the issue I have with paying for additional professional oversight (in Nigeria) is that the buck always seems to fall somewhere in the middle. It's not a question of 'being cheap', particularly if the benefits and safety nets operate as intended.

Do they have professional indemnity insurance that will compensate you gabadaya when things go wrong? No. They tend to pass the buck to the contractor (or Baba Lati) and engage you in an endless loop of recriminations.

As a tangential example, you engage a QS, who produces fancy costings and pretty spreadsheets - then you end up spending twice the amount (without significant variation in market conditions or work scope), you kinda lose heart.

So, I think professionals need to up their game, share project risks. Not just hope to collect fat fees and move on to the next client.well

Good day.

well said

Unfortunately, the present inflation is driven by exchange rate. No importer would sell an item less than the amount he/she bought it. All importers big and small buy dollars for $480 and above now. One way you can figure out the estimate for any imported item is to go to alibaba website and see the current price. Then add cost of importation and clearing.
Do this by using bulk calculation (in 20feet container).
For example POP cement
On the website, 1ton (25 of 40kg bags) some sellers have it for about for $150

One 20feet container is about 700bags which is 28tons.
so, the cost is............................................... $4200 = #2.016m
Shipping is......................................................$2800 =#1.344m
Clearing is.......................................................#1.5M
Mis & inland transport ..............................200k
Total............................................................... #5,060,000

Now divide that figure by 700bags you have #7228.50 per bag of 40kg imported POP cement
Did you know that POP is still being sold for #6000- #6500 for 50kg bag in Nigeria?

Good day, ABS pop cement is imported from turkey and sold for 6500 for 40kg. does that mean they are selling at a loss from your analysis?

rotecch77:
Yes, I will do that.
Here is the cost of veranda wrought iron hand railing
Each unit of the veranda cost 75,000

rotecch77:

They are so much better and neater. They can make straight walls, unlike their Nigerian brethren. Unless you meet a "fake" one, they are always really good at building, esp tiling.

Lucky man. He found out earlier. It won't hurt like people who found out after 20years.


Now, he has the chance to dump her ass and move on.

KolaShangOne:
Quick question sir,

Do you know Tower Aluminium profile when you see it??,

So how are you sure hell be using Tower?

Because the tower I know will cost more.

to answer your question about knowing tower aluminium profile, Yes I do. the dimension of one of his windows 900 by 1500 is similar to mine. if you divide 620 000 naira by the number of windows in his quotation which is 16, you will get 38,750 naira. I was given a quote of 35k with net.
N.B without burglary

MrWalban:
Hello House, I just found this thread. Please I was given this quotation for Casement Windows ( Aero-gold ) and burglary. I feel im been cheated considering the budget I had was 850k and this is running into 1.150m already. Kindly advise bosses.

is the quality of the material 'aero gold' better than Tower? am asking because I got a cheaper quotation using tower material

Briller:
I want 15000bags but it won't be a faceless arrangement. I have to follow you to the depot or wherever to make sure it's not a ride. Once that's ascertained, we have a deal.

smart guy

cooljuman:
Please, how do I contact you to get me 300 bags to start my building project. I'll greatly appreciate.

Bro honestly to me and probably for a large number of others, there is nothing modern about a single picture of an outdated design of 4 room upstairs apartment.

What is all these now, let it be noted that if this thread goes down, davodyguy or whatever he's named caused it with his group of supporters and those with multiple personality disorder

you are one of the people that escalated the problem. so why are you concerned about the thread going down?

DFAMEGUY11S:

Nice. However your door should leave very little space below.

Electrical wiring of this house starts.......

Twoclans:
I work with two good looking guys on my team, because I am their team lead .They always have a way of making me buy them breakfast at our popular hot buka joint .

When we get to this joint the female waiters always find a way to flirt and roll all their body for my male colleagues. Sometimes I even have to beg them to take my order because they get carried away in their flirting activities. They don't know that on this table of three I am the moneybag when it comes to that breakfast.

I had to boycott that buka joint because the same thing kept repeating itself.I cannot come and be begging on top my own hard money

jealousy...... just say you have a crush on the guys too. my sister those guys de see you as maga. they know you have a crush on them, so they are taking their time to chop your money. why are you using your hard earned salary to buy food everyday for two grown men.

The price of cement in Ilorin is N2900/3000 per bag and I want to do some work on my abandoned project with some hundreds of bags. Pls is there any possibility of drop in prices soon because this has really affected my budget. I engaged some cement dealers here and was told there is a major repair on Dangote's plant in Ajaokuta that soared up price in this axis but the price will still reduce with time. Please I need your advice on this.

Personally, I think we should suspend our projects and wait till at least next year. prices of cement, pop cement, electrical cables have all increased.

topsy23:
The quantity of cable is much since your building is 3bedroom. Also the size cable is 13A single and 13A double. Pls send me the plan and I will send you the quantity of cables needed

ok I will send it to your whatsapp

hello topsy please does a double wall socket mean more 2.5mm cable compared to a single wall socket? I have about 30 double wall socket and my electrician quoted 25 roll of 2.5mm for it. and secondly I have only pop lightings, no internal wall lights and about 15 external wall lights and 22 fence light and he quoted 29 roll of 1.5mm pls assist me. pls also check the 4mm cable for A.C becos I have only 5a.c and it's a 3 bedroom bungalow thanks
