Can you share examples of big and not big profiles?

Dieumerci:
Thanks sir.
0.45 gauge from Tower or First Aluminium in Lagos.

brabus:
Big Profile is my thing. Some people are just too ordinary. And if we talk too much it is "packaging"

Why must all houses do "anko" "egbejoda". The same design everywhere.

adeekiti:
Mr Brabus, talking about Aluminium windows, there are different Aluminium profile which has different prices, we have imported Aluminium, tower Eco and tower standard which is expensive than others, you can have your windows either sliding or swing, since imported profiles now comes in good and quality product ,people now opt for it as well. Its just that swing windows allows a lot of ventilation than the sliding windows as ventilation comes from one side leaving the other side shut..

Dieumerci:
Pls who knows the current price per squared meters for Aluminium longspan and metcoppo roofing sheets.

When I visited the site a month after I left the project and observed some things, I informed the client in the chat message attached.

brabus:
At foundation stage, it was a contract prepared by the owner based on NextHome estimate. The contract stopped at the Sandfilling of the house. All materials after Sandfilling were supplied by the owner. I only took up the role of supervision afterwards up to slab level.


I got disengaged completely from the project at the completion of the slab. There are records.

Question for Oga Spyder or any other person that may care to share.

One of the ways that I've been able to accomplish so much with so little is that I'm serving as the General Contracor on my build and saving the third party expense.

I'm approaching the German floor phase of my build. The most expensive single line item is granite.

Being that I'm physically available, have the time and opportunity, what is the best way to go about reducing the cost?

Can I go to the quarry myself of do I need to be a registered member of some specific association?

Can I rent a truck with a driver? How much is this?



Will my ploy of after being armed with the bill of lading (I'm assuming it will be date/time stamped) and driving behind the truck from quarry to site remove any chance of nefarious activity?

Thanks.

PS: I can see a quarry that is about 10 miles from my site on Google map.

Do you deliver to Elebu or know who does? I need a quote for 60 tons of 3/4 down delivered.

brabus:
The driveway came as desired. The picture posted is not a finished work. It's still a work in progress. Im already speaking with some guys who are very good in epoxy floors to see what I'm trying to achieve and what needs to be done. I never wanted to have a finished floor using sand and cement. The picture idea I took off the net was not finished with sand and cement (concrete). They added some additives.

Also I didn't use sand, stone dust and cement mix. It was pure stone dust for the driveway and I used sand in other areas.

brabus:
Fine finish? Will it be better than using sand? What are the pros and cons of using both?

I've used both on my driveway and I can tell you if I have to do it over again in an area where there's heavy traffic, I'll use sand again and again.

Reasons:

* Stability and Workability
* Sand did not move under excessive rain or when the area is subjected to flooding.
* Dust did excellently well on my DPC but not on my driveway.

gabbytabby:
make sure its 3/4 not 3/4 down most buoilders don't like 3/4 as this is larger but suppliers like this as cheaper.

. Nigerians are quick to condemn their citizens whether old or young, look at the frontrunners in the US polls: Ben Carson64, Donald Trump69 & Hillary Clinton67. Have you heard the Americans base their campaigns on age but what each candidate has to offer. Politics is not by compulsion and if the 40s & 50s cannot rival the 60s then no one should be blamed. Imagine all the governors we had in their 40s in 1999 what were their landmarks that could propel them to higher offices NONE

I said the same thing about Estonian Prime Minister that's 34 year old compare to the politicians of Nigeria, and I was insulted. Kept my mouth zipped. Lets keep making fun of ourselves.

tbaba1234:
Ronald Reagan was 69 when he was elected.
Clinton is in her 60s running for office
Bernie Sanders is 75
Trump is in his 60s too

It is not about the age.
