CDK above others.

Goodwill and Virony depends on choice or quality you pick in the market.

Goodluck

Thanks

Still your blessed Sunny
All (Nigeria tiles or foreign)have their own qualification and quality on their basic, manufacture. InTerms of Nigeria tiles, CdK is one and part of high quality follow by any other super Polish, E.T.C
( that has nylon on the face of the tiles)
Thanks,, I come in peace 🕊️

Thanks for the recommendation.

Good day all.

Please when it comes to Nigerian tiles, how do we rate these Nigerian tiles in terms of current quality: Goodwill, CDK or Virony?

Opinions from home owners, building contractors and tile suppliers are welcome.

Person2person:


9 inches frame 10,000
6 inches frame 8,000

Please what is the name of the wood type you used for this sub frames?

Bros. They are not dealing with a mugu. There is a bigger agenda more than $100
When you send money from abroad, your identity information is also sent to the person.

It’s either a trap for identity theft
Or a plot to revile who this audio billionaire really is.
The reason I did not even bother to respond. Many of them here get multiple handles.

I would kindly advise you not to respond any more to unnecessary manipulations.

Focus on your invaluable contributions on this thread.
Thanks

Hi Dennis, great job as usual. Please what is the dimension of the building?

Dennis3D:
Good morning Viewers.
More photo shots from this site.
Windows are already been constructed.
Windows here costed about 6m... Direct client funding.

Let me show you a bit of how our staircase is...
What do you think about it.

What do you think about our Plastering finishes?

I can see that the windows are EBM, that is why the cost is that high.
How many window units?

The plastering is very cool.

Well done!

ejitest1:
Good day amazing people.

N3xt,
Please can you pay into somehow's account the N1,073,000 that you believe is what you owe him?
He said earlier that you've his bank details.
Possibly pay it before the end of his 'grace period'-1st week of January, 2022.

I strongly believe, this suggestion should be a good starting point to resolve this matter!

Thanks in anticipation.

I think this is a good suggestion... pay what you think you owe first.

I have a feeling that if he had done this earlier, together with QsFemi giving the breakdown that n3xt requested much earlier, the matter would not have degenerated to this level.

n3xt:


Don’t forget we were having a fixed-sum contract and there was never a time this year that cement was sold for N3,000 or unit of 9 inches block sold at N200 which were the official rates in the contract and which I abided with up till termination of the contract.

So, I made request for an upfront payment to keep my part of the bargainwhich I did. that explains why I was in a rush to get the carcass off my hook in May.

This could be one of the reason why n3xt refused to accept the valuation by QsFemi.

He had already made some concessions on the price of blocks and cement. (I can't also remember the price of cement and block being as low as N3000 and N200 respectively this year).

Hence, he wanted a more "practical" valuation that would reflect his initial concessions.

Nevertheless n3xt, these issues can be resolved offline. This combative approach with a client is uncalled for.

Especially for one, who gave you a great benefit of doubt in awarding the contract to you.

Tidy this completely with somehow before 2022 and let peace reign.

I know, I know.

I love this your never say die spirit. Keep it up.

Well done. What's the labour cost in the production of one unit of window hood?

rotecch77:
Precast window hood design in progress

Well done Spyder880 and more grease to your elbows. The owner of this project must be proud of you.
It seems Oga wants the project to be delivered before Christmas.

spyder880:
We all return to this site today, speed is of utmost importance as we make the final push for the finish.

To The Almighty GOD we continue to submit all the glory to.

Ladies and gentlemen, we gather here once again to tell another story of a new building construction process. Details.

Project: Construction of a new 6 flats of 3 bedrooms
Location: Emene Enugu
Client: A Nairalander
Contractors: Spyder880 builders
Duration: 120 days

Please follow us as we bring this project to life, this work will take some time to start because we want to first clear the site of a building on it. But we will start buying and stocking up building materials before they become too expensive to buy. Thank you my people.

This would be Tigerkenned with the usual speed, accuracy and solidity.
Going to grab my popcorn.

Well done so far? Please what is the dimension of this building?

gabbytabby:


This is a lesson to people giving recommendation just give contact details and let them sort it out.

Never get in between the money cos you are then seen as an agent.

I also agree. However in this particular episode, twinskenny showed proof that it was micgray100 that insisted that the money should be paid into his own account.

This is the reason according to twinskenny why he obliged his request. What if twinskenny had refused?

Hence, twinskenny felt he was doing micgray100 a favour and this was one among other reasons (like
micgray100 not allowing the borehole guy leave site with his tools) why he is accepting partial responsibility.

Remember that twinskenny also showed proof that micgray100 negotiated directly with the borehole guy.

On the other hand, micgray100 that seemed to plead for twinskenny's account to be used as the escrow, now has the expectation that twinskenny should take full responsibility for the contractual dispute.

I am not holding brief for twinskenny here, but I think that is where the dilemma lies.

Learning point for me is not about the referee not getting in between the money (client and contractor).

If the client 'pleads' that you get in between the money, the lines of responsibility between client and referee should be clearly spelt out and documented.

Horlardorjah:


U can reject honorably sir, it's your choice, your brand n u decide whatever u want with it. His request wasnt personal like he wanted it for anything meanwhile U dont respond to all comments in here not cause u don't know what to say but because u don't have to say.

Silence is golden works well instead of having to shalaye. U might not have bad intention with your words but it can be interpreted to mean many things n with different tones to it.
The tone of michlin response depict something but no be Pikin like me go talk am.
Iree ohhhhh

While I am not holding brief for Michlin, I think his response was very natural.
Recall that a client had a few days earlier insulted him publicly in capital letters for an obviously miscommunication issue. This is without giving him any benefit of doubt. This would have put him in a defensive posture in response to Egun's question.

His response to Egun's question should have been more tactful no doubt. However, Egun's response was equally wrong.

Courtesy should be demanded from both clients and vendors. Unfortunately, the scale is tilted a little against the vendors in this forum.

It was this same Michlin that was hardly given a chance when he came on board this forum. All sorts of insults, innuendos were hurled in this direction. Yet he remained dogged and proved himself.

The seeming support he receives here in this saga and the one that involved hammer last year (if you can recollect), is because the public would naturally stand against judgemental and subtle bullying against an individual perceived to be hardworking and straightforward so far.

We know fraudulent behaviour when we see one. Dragging vendors down because of glaring miscommunication issues or imperfect company processes is uncalled for.

Remember that the internet doesn't forget. In this challenging economic environment, why kill what you cannot build when we have not engaged privately to clarify issues?

Vendors should also profile clients (as much as it's possible) before accepting jobs from them, and deal with whosoever you choose to do business with on a personal level (pictures, information etc.). Self respect is also as good as the money.

You can avoid whosoever you don't want to deal with, but don't also insult clients or appear arrogant/rude.

Spyder880, you have done well. This quote looks even cheap to me. I don't know of any carpenter or iron bender that would agree to collect less than N160k each for their services on a double wing of 2 bedroom flats based on current labour rates.

Perhaps, they agreed much lower because you are always building and hence have a higher bargaining power.

Those who feel this type of decking should cost around N3M don't understand what entails in a decking done very well (without cutting corners).

Promise kept, I will be around to entertain some questions. Thanks all.

Edit: Cost prices in fractions indicate that we bought several quantities at different times and at different prices, so you are likely seeing average costs as unit prices in some materials.

You don't pass judgement on another man's building project simply because you built a building of that type.

There are other considerations that could make the costs differ.

Firstly, the size of the decking.
Secondly, the structural design of the decking as advised by the structural engineer. Hence, more 16mm rods could have been deployed more than yours.
Thirdly, the concrete mix ratio.
Fourthly, labour charges in the area of your build.

Please when did you do your own decking? What's the size and can we see the structural design only?

When we see the information above, we can then appreciate your perspective.

N4M is a very fair price for Spyder880's decking based on today's material and labour rates.

neduboo:


Oga I have done a similar decking recently. E no reach that Budget. My site is in Lagos. Stop giving builders high blood pressure.

I'm not a sadist when I pointed the outrageous prices. I'm also a site owner (maybe Kobo Kobo site owner lol). I monitor my materials and their uses and I can categorically tell u that 2.5M to 3M will do that project.


Unless he added charges from construction company.

spyder880:


N1.2m for most of the works, not all. They agreed to throw in the security post plastering at that cost, but refused to add the fence or pillars because the fence is long.

Please how many bags of cement and trips of sand were used for this plastering phase?
