Hello, please how many pieces of this stone coated roofing sheet makes up a square meter and what is the name?. Thank you as I anticipate your response.

CivilEngineer90:
baba desist from mentioning me or I will insult your family!! I have important things on my mind right now or If you rented a duplex how's that any of my concern.

Sir, I'm surprised....why are you so 'professional' but yet so 'easily' offended? I can recall you are the first 'professional' to mention me even when my comment wasn't directed at you.

Ok. Sorry for mentioning you after you mentioned me.

Have a nice day Sir.

FEGEITOK:


By being directly involved in construction I realize that you can build that structure for way way less than 100m, I am saying 100m based on the selling price of similar places in Abuja.

So 100m is selling price and not cost to build.

Maybe I should share pictures of houses for sale in Abuja and their prices to buttress my point

Sir, I was referring to 'cost of building' not 'selling price'.

I have seen the quote of a so-called professional engineer that says 80 bags of cement, I ended up using 40 bags. The Job has finished, so now I am waiting for the building to collapse because it is substandard.

My engineer is registered, attached on contract to a construction company called 'Raffoul' (please google that). He is from the south western part of Nigeria, and i am always ready to drag him to the south south anytime/anyday.

I'm a Christian, his a Muslim, but our love for each other is 'factory-fitted' by our Creator.

'To be sincere'- is a personal decision that is too rare, scarce and limited amongst Nigerians generally.

Those figures mentioned here as the cost of building are FAT LIES. Please do your investigation independent of mine.

Thank you Sir.

CivilEngineer90:
I wanted to reply you then I went back again and realize we are talking about just a bongalow here so I won't give you that hype. Baba move ahead, proffessionals are not for your kind and I pray Nigeria gets there when a law is passed for lands to not being wasted on minimum of 3floor buildings.

Really? That means my duplex in South East will be #500 million on NL.

Thank you Sir, and I pray our NL professionals can build refineries with funds of those that don't know or those that know but chose to be ignorant. The cost of petrol is overwhelming.

CivilEngineer90:
[s]if your home was up to Standard then show us the test cube results from lab analysis and not the house covered in a beautiful paint [/s] You did yours with baba sikiru, non Engineered that's fine but pls don't encourage that kind of thing here. [s]To get a home up to code you are looking at those figures bro[/s]. So just codedly do your thing and stay low-key but when those who want to build to Standard and withstand all harsh weather conditions then let them do it how it should be.

Probably the same Baba sikiru that most of you contractors engage after collecting 60million for a bungalow/penthouse.

Spare me that please. It's a faceless forum. I don't have to come out in public to address the qualifications of artisans I engage neither will I come here to claim I spent 60 million on a house I barely spent 15million in construction. In my religion 'deception' is a sin.

If you want to call figures, go ahead but that's for those that believe you not me.

A notable artisan (not our michlins) gave me a quotation for 'steel' rails in a building he posted and bragged about here, but in real life I used that amount to purchase over 90% of wrought rails. Thanks to my neighbor who did his at the same period. The usual talk is 'I am a professional that follows code and standard'....Sir I hear you, well done.

About the 'low key' you mentioned, I was staying low key, but those exaggerated figures..40mil,50mil,60mil, now 100mil...are enough to raise anybody's head.

Before I built my first house I used to be afraid of the exaggerated figures I read for the cost of buildings on this thread. I learnt to start with what I have and I noticed I usually don't spend up to 65% the projected estimate.

Not once,not twice and not thrice.

If I should post the current project I am sure I will read figures above 60 million.

Welcome

Oga,

(1) Did the seller say he did not damage the item? Or did he at any point mention that the item was damaged by the buyer and he won't be held responsible?

(2) Did the seller delay or refuse to waybill the purchased items to the buyer after payment was made?

(3) Did the seller offer a refund to the buyer?..did the seller say: NO I WILL NOT REFUND YOU?

I will not join those blaming the seller because I know some sellers here that will see the damage and will still go ahead to way bill it to the client the way it is.



Sir, please let me understand.

FutureFocus:


What doesn’t he want when he rejected refund, why are they talking like I didn’t want to refund him? Refund was the first thing I offered him, ask here, I’ve refund people just for rushing me, just for been rude, I’ve refund people with interest , refunded with 2k , 3k extra with apologies, what does he want?

How can you say you are given me up to weekend to waybill the headset I told you it’s now broken to you in the condition he paid for it? And not interested in my refund



That’s the reason I ignored him because it’s impossible to reverse the damage and he knows that, other than I’m expecting some headsets next week, all these I explained to him.
What does he want when he rejected a refund?

He’s expecting a waybill of a broken headset In unbroken condition!!! I’m no doctor Jesus


This problem is common with resellers, you don’t want refund because you have spent the profit and then want me to force item out by force

If you buy an item only to leave it in the sellers custody, any damage thereafter should not be at the expense of the seller.

Why will you purchase an item only to leave it in the sellers custody?

If the seller offers you a refund and you rejected it, what then do you want?.. Do you want to be compensated for damage as a result of leaving your items in the sellers custody?

Let's apply common sense.

MrOkenwa:

You're right bros. It's also one of the most unguarded and very forgiving. If not, you yourself and those artisans/vendors with past history of mismanaging clients funds should have been investigated, banned and removed from here long ago. But here you are dishing out motivational quotes. Shey you de whine me ni.

Good morning Sir, please how much did you pay the iron bender? Thank you.

Good afternoon Sir, please do you have any professional in Port Harcourt you can recommend for a Precast Parapet Job?. If you do, please I need the contact urgently. Thank you.

Please I need the contact of a professional in Precast Parapet resident in Port Harcourt. Thank you.

Twostep:
Good afternoon House, I had a terrible experience with my tiler. Contracted him to clean the floor tiles as he says there’s a chemical they use that will give a fine finish.

After job done I noticed the railings were affected and looks rusted due to the effect if the chemical.

Please how can I correct this to the bearest minimum ?

I wish I just went with soap and water

Sir this railing has different grades. The one you bought may not be stainless. Please Sir confirm by placing a 'magnet' on it, if it attracts then it is ordinary steel that was coated with silver spray paint. Stainless does not magnet and will not rust or wash off even in salty water or chemical environment.

You can smoothing the areas of your railing and respray with silver paint.

The real stainless railings have a natural shiny appearance without any coating and they won't react this way.
Sorry Sir.

Hi Everyone,

I got a roofing quotation of 4m for a 21x10m building.
Sandcoated roof tiles

I am thinking of decking instead.

The money is too much.

Kindly advice

Good day Sir, can you paste the quotation? That will give a clear breakdown for proper scrutiny. Thank you.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Potential Fraudster alert!!

From a recent observation..

Please I will advice everyone to 'hold your pockets tight'!...not everyone that posts advices, solutions, recommendations or pictures on this thread or forum are what they claim to be. MOST OF THEM ARE NOT ENGINEERS NEITHER ARE THEY BUILDERS OR BUILDING CONSULTANTS..they have no idea in relation to building and construction..please I will advice:

(1) Before you contact anyone on this thread or forum please be 101% sure you have done your own private investigation. You may be dealing with a yahoo Yahoo student behind a keyboard or a resident serial fraudster.

(2) Don't contact Mr A because Mr B contacted him and they had a 'perfect' dealing. There is something called 'organized crime', they may be playing to a script so do your own investigation.

(3) Some recently created accounts belong to already known 'famous' fraudsters. We made them popular, so they disguise in return to lure unsuspecting victims.

Be wise. Thank you.

olukaygold:
It's because of the terrain of the land. The land is downward sloping to the back where my ongoing project is. I was not the Engineer that handled the project so I can't say much on it. Thanks

Ok Sir, well done.

Sir, please in the 3rd picture why is the foundation of the bungalow next to your foundation so high?, how many block levels could that be?. Thank you Sir.

erico2k2:

Ok will fetch it for you soon

Ok, Thank you Sir.

erico2k2:

E dey go up already this morning
wait till thursday

Good afternoon Sir. Please can I have the contact of the artisans that did your Parapet in Port Harcourt. Thank you.

rajput4real93:

It amazes me each time you post nice pictures of your work in order to lure unsuspecting client(s). Have you employed new artisans into your as opposed to the half-baked ones you are known for? The plastering work your so-called bricklayers did at my site was falling off last week as a result of a horrible mix ratio. I had to contract other bricklayers to correct the mess. Stop deceiving the public with aesthetics!

Number (4)....maybe we should blame Bolu.

gbadexy:
Only number 4 shows some form of sheen. The others could be matte or regular emulsion.
Number 1 and 2 attached are matte, 3 and 4 are satin/silk.

Great, this is very clear to me now, I really appreciate Sir. Your satin/silk in 3 and 4 is what I intend to use in my balcony and living room areas. I'm almost there Sir. Thank you and God bless.

gbadexy:

Greetings sir,
It would be impossible to distinguish budget emulsion from premium emulsion, satin from silk from pictures except by touch and the peels.
You can only identify emulsion, matte and satin/silk from images.

Ok Sir, Thank you.

You are correct, pictures may not clearly show all details, but with a superficial observation, please can you be able to determine which paint was used in the attached pictures 1,2,3 and 4 from top to bottom?

gbadexy:

Morning sir,
Budget emulsion: N8500
Premium emulsion: N15000
Satin: N35000
Silk: N45000.

Good afternoon Sir, please is it possible to post pictures showing the walls/houses painted with the different paint types you have listed the prices above?

Some of us don't know what differentiates them. Like emulsion and premium emulsion, and also satin and silk. I have also seen your mention of matte previously.

Thank you Sir.

money121:

Physical measurement Only

Ok Sir. Thank you.

money121:

Yea

Red arrow pointn to bash board is used to hold the sunbreaker

Yellow arrow pointn to ridge cap is used to cover the edges that d roofing sheet meet

Ok Sir, Thank you.
I am at Parapet stage and resident in PH.
Please can you determine the square meters of a roof from the roof plan or you have to take the measurement on site?.

money121:


Attached is the Quotation for the Roofing sheet

Whatsapp 08085310359 for more enquires

Sir, please what is 'Ridge cap, Bash board and Valley gutter?, are they in the picture you posted?. Thank you Sir.

gbadexy:

It would also help to apply undercoat paint from the waterproof membrane point on the dpc upwards so that the building won't be soaking up water from the surrounding soil.

Very true Sir, well done.

Slimszy:


Thank you so much for the insight and suggestions.

Few questions.

1. Can plaster and reinforce the dug area with concrete?

2. Should I plaster immediately I dig or I leave for some days or week so air can penetrate into block area and dry off a bit?

3. Should I refill back with laterite or sharp sand?

4. Can I use felting process too as a waterproof for the dug part after plaster.

I look forward to your response. Thank you Sir.

Sir,

(1) Yes you can plaster with a 'more-of-cement' mix (more cement, less sand).

(2) I can recall we didn't fill immediately after digging, we left for some days to let the moisture dry off from the walls and the areas we dug.

(3) After making sure the 'replaster was as thick and sealed as possible, we ensured we reduced, to the most possible extent, the surface area of the wall in contact with the surrounding floor (because the external floor was still above the internal floor). Fill with laterite. and I improvised with broken blocks.

"keep the surrounding floor as far as possible from the wall"-my Engineer said this.

(4) Although I didn't think of that, but felting helps avoid water leakage similar to waterproof, it may be an additional effective idea.

Thank you Sir.

Slimszy:


Greetings Sir, thank you for your input.

I just checked today and the height of the surrounding floor is higher than the DPC. I noticed quality of the DPC material was light too.

Ps: I bought the house and I didn't build from scratch. I only did the finishing

"Your foundation is low and submerged in moist soil"...

Good afternoon Sir, please the surrounding floor shouldn't be higher than the DPC except you used an effective sealant/water resistant cement.

You can dig into the ground, 'probably' a feet or more, to where the joint between the floor and dpc meet all around the main building, chiesel through the external wall and apply the mix. You also have to replaster with same cement mix.

Although not necessary, but 'If' there is any possibility of reducing the height of the external floor you can consider it.

Thank you.
