Can the 3rd tiles be used at the floor of an entrance and how much do you sell it?

Hmm

How I wish nairaland has voice note option, it would have been easier for me to narrate the event.. Spoken words are easier understood than written words.

I wasn't told it was going to be shared, I was told that the driver will start going to Benin by 6 and will get to my site before 10 but cos it will be late, we agreed 6am the next day (I even suggested to pay for their hotel), my cousin suggested he should follow them to be on the safe side..

That was how I got to know that the driver went to load someone else's materials (I was even lied to that it was just small materials and they'd just drop the goods at the tollgate), but instead they had it delivered first before going to my site (spent hours loading for few materials and went to deliver at the person's site).

My cousin narrated everything to me and suggested that I should request for shared cost cos that's not how it is done...If I was told earlier, he would have looked for someone to transport it down to me and won't spend that much money.

What I am hearing is annoying and I don't want to have issues with anyone.. Its an experience though. Next time, I will know what to say or ask when ordering for goods online.. Imagine transporting goods from Lagos to Benin and you are collecting 170k (that's greed) you can't even consider to share the cost between both customers, you think of just yourself and your pocket. Nigerians we are our own problem! Everyone is looking for money but that doesn't mean, we should not have conscience and lose ourselves on the way to wealth.

That's serious.

You've been diplomatic in narrating the ordeal.
If you want to protect the person, you can forget it and move on. Lesson no 2. I believe it won't happen to you again.

EgunMogaji2:
Baba, only you?

This is an outstanding way to save cost. I will be mimicking this.

I say make I copy you nio.

We had to suspend the burglary proofs transportation to save the cost. He charged 40k. Then I thought why not wait and let him park everything together. Otherwise he would have charged same 40k for the second trip. It was a win-win situation as he knew he would buy fuel and settled police on the road with the extra 15k.

redgem:
If it's shared then the cost should have been reduced.

Provided you have negotiated this from the onset.

I paid 55k for water tank scaffold and window and Veranda burglary proofs from Ketu Lagos to Mowe-Ofada Ogun State.
I knew he won't be going any other places except my location.

Please I'm in a dilemma, which is preferable between increte and interlocking floor in a compound?

I think Aforzy explained both sometimes last month. You may have to flip pages backward.

mufutau55:
Yes Sir. Everyone should always do their due dilligence regardless of who reccomended them. Please dont leave any avenue opened to be scammed of your hard earned money.

Hajji M.

I will not do Airbnb in Nigeria in my personal aboard. It's a security risk implications to me.

Letting it out is a very tempting option but there are better options. Like you've said, loss of privacy and the risk of generator noise from the tenant are major drawback.

Consider a Learning Center (not a school), Maths and English, Sciences and ICT classes. A preparatory center for Test of English as a foreign language for those looking for Visa abroad, preparatory and registration center for Jamb, WAEC, ICAN, professional certification, Microsoft suits (Excel, word etc), music and piano lessons etc. Opening hours is 9-5pm and then you have your compound to yourself. We do this a lot in the UK. You will need to employ tutors.

Or consider repacking products (manufacturing). So you buy in bulk and repack into smaller retail sizes e.g rice, beans, Amala, lafun, vegetable oil, Palm oil, powdered milk, granulated sugar etc. The smaller units are more affordable to the majority. You will need to employ hands, all you do is just managerial.

These options are better than renting or just locking it up. Here apart from the income, you create employment, empower people and better the life chances of the kids in your community.

You can say that again. literally the price of everything has almost doubled.

Quick Question
- is it advisable to mold our own blocks? is that going to save us some money, I know with this approach, I can be rest assure of the quality...based on the mix ratio

- What are other suggestions on what to do to save cost on building materials?

I am open to your suggestions and guidance

Thanks

3strikes!!!

Molding on your own guarantees you the quality however you might not save anything in real sense. ( It is risky. If it rains and you already have blocks molded, you might have to go through the tedious route of remolding.)

Why not look for a factory you can discuss with. Tell them your spec. They might add a few naira but you get a better blocks.

To be contacted, as promised in 2016, soon.
