Nigeria won, I just finished turning my site into a prison like place

Anyways, if anyone is in Ibadan and environs I can reasonable recommend the seller and installer of the fence wire, though I always ask folks to do their own due diligence.

Chai!!

Reminds me how driving through the high brow areas in Johanessburg some 20 years ago, I could only laugh at how the 'noveau rich' black folks had exchanged the chains of apartheid for individual prisons - wall to wall high fences, barbed wires and security guards - ugh, I even shiver at the image today.

Maybe if you painted those walls a funky mauve color, it might lessen the effect.

Thanks.

Seems these are mainly used for diverting rain water from the roof towards the ground in an orderly manner.

Why don't you extend your services to include sizeable water butts to collect and re-use this water for the sake of the environment?

Maybe even simple pumping systems to transfer such water to stanchion mounted tanks so rainwater can be used to supplement, say, non-potable water.

Just ideas that could enhance your delivery.

I'm interested and can send you my roofing layout but it's in PH oh.

Congratulations on the superior finishing for these properties. If I was in Ibadan, I would be reaching foy my checkbook!

Do you mind sharing the details of those involved in the construction/finishing, only if you can - perhaps in this general thread ...

https://www.nairaland.com/2550211/general-topic-thread-to-discuss-anything/711

It might come in handy for those looking to build something in Ibadan.

Good luck with the sale.

Lol, @ bolded . A more appropriate term would be "Dubious Importers"

I'm an "Ibo guy" too. But it goes without saying, the standard of merchandise we put out.

80% of other key distributors for local brands​ are also Ibo by the way.

People just need to source wisely and ascertain the genuity of their source. Not everybody with a shop full of cables is an "Appointed Distributor" .
Buying from an "appointed" distributor might also not give you 100% immunity, but it is your surest bet in an open market.

It seems even electrical installers so used to the fake products are now confused about what is quality and what is not. I'll drop you a mail later about an ongoing "Coleman" vs "Colman" wahala.

Temysteve:
why ar u so foolish? Those this method look like dat of fraud? Just shut up if u can't comprehend.

This one no go school. Comprehension 101 he fail am.

Following. When is that floor next expected to be repainted?

ihebrooke:
View B

Goes without saying these are terrific designs and your creativity shines through.

These designs are 'busy' though and I understand such would appeal to the typical Nigerian clientele - so not a criticism. Like someone said upthread, they are likely to be very expensive to realize since any reproductions would have to be bespoke.

So, do you have any simple 'minimalist designs to show? I'm attracted to designs that emphasize space & light over contents? Also therefore likely to be very cost-effective and practical.

Thanks.

Bizgold:
Note, I dont do wood work. I just guide the carpenter on the dimensions to be taken on each design of Aluminum needed to used. But i have an independent carpenter who do work for my client who request for it....I recommend him do to his superior finishing... THOse 3 and 4th wood work is for the Blue roof longspan Above

That is impressive woodwork. thanks.

Bizgold:
Thank u all

Can you share a picture with the roof trussess part-way through the build on one or more of your projects? The final look is ok but we need to appreciate the underlying woodwork, which I've found to be variable in quality among the various roofing contractors here on NL.


Thanks.

A corporate institution bond cannot be rated higher than its country even if the institution shows strong financials and management expertise. Even if Lagos state goes to Euromarket to borrow, the highest rating it will get it a B, the same as Nigerian sovereignty bond

We're saying the same thing. UBA got rated same as Naija but still got worse coupon quotes than CIV.

Breaking News !!!
I Really Need Pounds In The UK
Please Let Me Know If You Have Pounds To Sell

What rate?

icemann:
Yield of 7.875%. what? There is no where in EU or US you can get a yield of 3% from any financial institution . They want us to work and they will collect interest for doing nothing. Modern day slavery

Funny thing is that the bond is rated same as Nigerian Sovereign so that is the price for Naija. Common Ivory Coast got quoted 6.5% for over $1 billion.

Thieves!

Come to think of it, were UBA that desperate? They should fire all their advisors.

Aventures:
Nice concept. My observations: You have steps leading to do dinning and hallway within. a small living room it could cause an accidents trip and fall. The kitchen is relatively small and you have a trapped space between the kitchen and the stair hall not well ventilated and poor natural light access. There is a verandah at the back of giving access to two rooms; the more openings the more security vulnerability ( good access for children to sneak out). That verandah space could be utilised to gain more space internally. Just My opinion !No bashing pls ooo. Happy New week

Personally, I would open up that whole area (Kitchen / Dining / Main Lounge) in favor of an open plan concept. Take down all the dividing walls/doors and liberate more space.

Open plan living seems not to have caught on in Nigeria, perhaps because maids/servants are employed for kitchen work and so necesssarily shut off from the rest of the family. For a single family unit though, it improves interactions - and I want to smell when that Ogbono soup is ready!


As is, have you considered the practicality of the Main Lounge? Seems to me there's no backing wall for entertainment units/TV, credenzas etc.

Good luck.

KolaShangOne:
Your building must be super big to use all these specified wood quantity.

700 pcs of 2x2?? And more than 600pcs of 2x4 (when 18ft is conv to 12ft).

And yes, the prices are outdated.

A typical roofing BOQ looks like this. Usually in metres. (pic below).

I think we've established (based on your initial observation) that they are talking about meters, not pieces. And, it's good news that prices are falling.

chinybelle:
It's a debit card not Credit

Ok, such protection does not apply to debit cards. Good luck.

KolaShangOne:
The prices of QS are not per wood. check well.. it may be per metre.

You may be right, thanks.

See the relevant section below (the middle column may well be the lenght of wood in meters like you say, third column is the price in Naira):

ROOF TRUSSES

3” x 4” x 12ft 50 550
2 x 4 x 18ft 337 780
2” x 4 x 12ft 150 350
2” x 3 x 12ft 560 350
2” x 2” x 12ft 700 250

The BofQ was done in February. I have looked at my Engineering drawings which specified 'hardwood' so I'll insist on it.

I read from one of your previous submissions that hardwood does not require further treatment for insect protection, is that correct? Because, I have in the BofQ provision for Solignun & Kerosene?

chinybelle:

Please who knows how I can get my money from FirstNation.
They cancelled my fight since Dec, up till now, no refund.

I have mailed and gotten tired of calling.
In this Buhari economy, u will now hold my money after keeping me stranded in December??
Help a sister
How can I escalate?

I see from the docket that you paid by Credit Card. Just put in a claim to the Credit Card company, in the UK they will refund you gabadaya and take up the matter with the Airline. The Airline has to act reasonably if it wants to retain its credit card payment option.

Bookmarked.

We await real projects from inception to completion if possible.

chuksjuve:
Good evening bro, I just opened the thread.
I really appreciate your word of advice..
thanks!!!

44chux:
It's not easy to maintain a thread if you don't have sufficient content, and using Internet pictures alone won't get you far.

You need content to keep ur thread from being pushed to the bottom of the list. It needs to be fresh and educative to attract further comments, replies and enquiries. And you need these to get a slot at FP. And you need that slot to quickly break into the market.

The advice to open up a thread for marketing might not work well for you at the moment. You can still open a general information / discussion thread about landscaping though . My 2cents.

Yes, we're on the same page - I meant real projects, not just marketing gumpf.

KolaShangOne:
The first step to getting a good, durable roof is to use the correct type of Hardwood. Most carpenters buy softer wood so that nailing it will be easy for them.

Even if your carpenter uses soft wood, it's not like your roof is going to collapse immediately. But after a while, say 3-5 years, go inside the roof and you will start seeing powder or moulds.

If your carpenter uses softwood (he will tell you it's hardwood. There's no way you will know), It's better if you use aluminium roofing sheets because it is lightweight.

For those using stone coated tiles, you have to take extra care on the type of wood bought for you. Softwood cannot carry the weight of stone coated tiles (4-6.5kg per tile) for long especially as carpenters use STRUTS sparingly these days.

This is informative, thanks. I went back to my Engineering drawings and the Architect specified Hardwood throughout for the trusses, to support 0.55 Aluminium sheets. I subsequently commissioned a QS and I have a feeling he priced for softwood given what you state above. In addition, there is provision for Solignum and Kerosene (150 litres!) in the BofQ which makes me think that.

I really like the look of the stone coated products but my dilemma is that there are lots of new builds in the area - all looking expensive but sticking to Aluminum roofing sheets. If I'm the only one 'showing off' with stone-coated roofing, the 'night visitors' may regularly select my property, thinking "this one na biggie man", which I'm definitely not. Funny, I know. Anyone else has this dilemma?

Anyway, I'll be looking for roofing materials soon. Thanks for this thread.

chuksjuve:
should i send the prices here?

As advised, please start your own thread showcasing your strengths. Pics are good and don't be bashful about your pricing.

Serious users will find it if you make it informative and educational. Trust me, that is how a lot of business is generated in this Property section.

Good luck.

Kindly mention me on the thread so I can find it easily among the dross of advertisements as I'll definitely be looking for such a landscaping service in the nearest future. I might give you a relatively open canvas to work with too.

PrettyCrystal:
I felt a deep sense of fulfilment today.

Most people reading the story may have missed this.

Trust me, that grand feeling when you help someone and can visibly see the result of your help is real - like scoring the winning goal in a World Cup match for Nigeria. Your head will be swollen for days!!

csbenedict:
I am so sorry for this late reply. I was super busy. trust me I barely sleep these days. I thank nairaland for that. we do minimum 2 days to Max 2 weeks for delivery. the work will come out top notch. no kidding. once again I am sorry for the late reply, and sincerely hope you still get to offer me the opportunity to make some outfits for you. remain blessed.

Ah ... I just returned nau. Anyway, my disappointment is tempered by the knowledge you're busy. As you deserve to be.

I will touch base again when I'm coming to Lagos.

skimanski:
We can work with an already existing interior design Scheme. Though Most of our clients trust us enough to come up with our own Scheme. Like this particular Project, I was basically left to do my own. It felt like the House was mine. One of the Best client I have ever worked with.

That is impressive but he got a bargain 2-for-1 skillset, designing and installing. Shey you no too expensive o?

podosci:
The harneyProjects team ( Podosci and Abdulwastecx ) want to use this medium to showcase some of the rendered 3d views we have in our inventory. Some of the designs have already been taken from the conceptual stage to real structures on ground, while others are still in the proposal stage.
We would give a feasible analysis of the designs. Your opinions and criticism are welcome.

Do you guys actually do the rendering yourselves? Or do you sub-contract it elsewhere?

allCopacetic:
Thanks for a pleasant and Swift transaction Chief

Anyof The below will match nicely.

Thanks. The top two look grand.

Quality for the discerning, We apprecaite your patronage

Good Job my man!


Quick question, which of your wall light fittings will best complement this ceiling fitting in a dining area for example? Thanks.

skimanski:
ahh!!!! My oga that one too much ooo. Have you seen architects in Lagos and what they are innovating. We are only working hard to get there ooo. This building looks nice, but there are a lot of things we could have done better oo. a lot of lessons we have learnt from this project. a lot of aspect we know we will need to improve on. Unlike great architects in Lagos who know it all. Those are the Architect you can call best in Nigeria.

For the interior work, do you work with interior designers to design the interior schemes including furnishings, and you supply and fit? Thanks.
