I applied as a software developer. Seems my own procedure is quite different. I have written the first test(purely about software development), had an interview with the HR, had another interview with the Chief information officer, submitted about 3 forms including an evidence I've once been paid a salary in the past one year, supposed to have another HR interview last week which didn't hold. Tomorrow morning I'm going to have another interview. Who else applied as a software developer.

Please when did you write your first test?

sir,
The reason we avoid cost and phone no display is because a lot of fraudulent people are online and they use people's profile to scam people, we were almost a victim but thank GOD a vigilant and good nairalander sent in a message to verify if we know about this transaction and phone nos.
In terms of cost the difference in POP ceiling and Polystyrene ceiling is not much but it has more advantage.
1) it helps to prevents loss of energy within an area it is used
2) it prevents water leakage from leaking roof into the building and doesn't draw maps caused by water leakage.
3) it reduce noise transmission better than POP materials.

Thanks

sir,
can you send me the architectural design of the place to take measurements of the sitting room and make estimate.
you can send it to me on frugesarenaltd@gmail.com

You are not getting my inquiry sir, you know what one can consider a standard sitting room, you are in the business. Just give me a ballpark quotation of what it takes to put a ceiling over a standard sitting room. I have noticed you avoid making your costs public and that's not good advertising, also you are selling polystyrene as a cheaper alternative to the others so lets see the cost savings

Happy new month to all our beloved customers and well wishers.
This month will bringing more financial breakthrough to you.

Most of this thread is focused on parapet fascia, don't u handle ceilings? I have seen some polystyrene ceilings and i must say one cannot tell the difference from POP.

If you handle can we get like a ball park estimate of what it will take to cover a standard sitting room

Just check 90% of the building sold at over N100m in Banana Island and see how many of them have casement windows

Sliding is not old school. The way we design our windows is.


________

Pics - These are houses with sliding windows.



Food for thought

At the end of the day i guess the deciding factor will be taste seeing as there really isn't that much of a cost difference all things considered. And these days most people just go with what is trending rather than risk doing something new.

yah, I always advice casement for my most of clients, the difference in prices is not much but, the functioning are totally different to sliding,

14k is much oo brother although i kind of get what you saying, if I am faced with 20 windows that's 280k in saving if i go sliding over casement, however i do not believe 280k is really that much in the grand scheme of things, traditional sliding windows are now considered "old school" in a way

Woah, inflation is killing us in this country

I have always wondered and permit me to pick your brain on this, what is the cost savings on sliding windows in lieu of casement windows, lets use the 4ft by 4ft you posted, if i decided to go sliding on that with burglary what would it cost?

Tnx in advance

Some of you really need to grow up

No one got to chose, White, Black, Asian, African, Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Tiv etcetera none of us got to chose. I have always found discrimination absurd.

Most of you are determined to kill a very educative thread for reasons best known to you and yes that includes those discussing a new forum.

This has gone on long enough, back to why we are all here.

Budget - N2m

I spent N2.3m on almost same building configuration (7 rooms, 2 kitchen, 3 lounge, 10 toilets, gatehouse, gym, fence and other external works)


Make plans for:

300+ bags of cement.
Sand (Big Truck) = 6 - 8 trips
If small trucks, budget 14 trips.
Labour (local labour rate apply)

That's a lot bro, thanks. I think taking it two rooms at a time will help.

This is still very valid too.

That plate you’re talking about is the gusset.

To have a very good understanding of how gussets are used in steel structures, check the popular Onitsha Bridge.

Bro let me pick your brain a little on a question i asked earlier, how much do you think it would cost to plaster an 8 bedroom duplex, or better still how many bags of cement would you consider adequate, trips of sand and the likes. its 8 bedrooms, 2 sitting rooms, 2 kitchens, a store and laundry.

Good evening everyone. Hope you all had a great day. I have been asked how I intend to reduce the noise which iron doors are notoriously known for and here is my solution.


So after making the doors and installing on the frame. I will use a special hinges that will allow me to pull the doors from the frame at anytime I desire. I will cut dunlop foam according to the shape of the frame and align it across the whole frame. When you close the door, instead of the iron door to hit the iron frame, it will jam on the foam which will cushion the sound and reduce the noise by at least 70%. Now when you hang it on wall and fill up the frame with cement, it will nearly eliminate the noise down to non-existent level. The said hinges is noiseless and doesn't make creaky sound too.

Attached is the picture of the door which I worked on. The owner no follow for people who likes fancy stuff but he's one person that has eyes for perfect finishing

Nice you finally decided to divulge your method. Still not a fan of metal doors used as interior doors. Having said that we will be needing at least 5 metal doors for exterior doors (single) and two doubles. You will get priority when the time comes as the project is in your backyard. Cheers
