Hello Family,
BLOCK PRICE DISPARITY between the south and North.

I can’t remember but vividly but I think before I left South west for the north, I bought blocks for 170naira to 200naira.

I am in the north now and for real, a 6 inches block is 85naira while the 9 inches is 100naira! This one no be “dem say”, i actually asked and funniest thing, cement is 3800naira per bag here.

Now I am wondering, why is block more expensive in the south even when cement is cheaper compared to the north and funniest thing, the 85naira blocks here are stronger

Their is no need to sweat to much about it, the question is supply and demand. How many houses are they building there per year compared to southwest and southeast?

gbadexy:
You are highly appreciated sir.
I think honorable angelicbeing was only mentioning about giving kola to elders in gest sir.
Baba na father, what could any vendor possibly give you elders but gratitude and prayer.

I come in peace, I knew he is joking. Himself wey run commot long time ago. Sometimes is good to throw something like that in that will make the platform active wey people go start to talk ni jare. Oga @ anglicbeing you’re welcome back, we miss your contribution. No mind me jare.

mufutau55:

It’s is well, thanks � to all those young engineers that devoted their time and experience educate us on this platform thanks � ones again, that is the least we can give back to everyone of you. Sharing knowledge and education is what built better society.

Let me show you another picture of more structures in this estate. So you can anticipate what we are up against...

Nice, nothing up against but deep pocket lol. I'd like to ask if the pipes in the front of those nice houses, are they central water pipes connected to each house?

rotecch77:
We take whole building construction work not only plastering.

That a smart answer, I like. The question should be, do you take plastering by its self only. That is my opinion ni ooo lol

[quote author=AlphamaleTech1 post=108023222][/quote]this is really nice. I’m really interested in it I will book you down when I get to the stage.

Tsuccesssquare:
This looks cheaper than the traditional soak-away system.

The question that keeps coming to mind is why do people still go for the traditional soak-away? when this is cheaper and obviously require lesser space.

Anyone with experience can please share.

I believe is new in Nigeria my concern is blockage when people flush in undecomposed materials like diapers, pads, into it.

somehow:
Sorry I already have someone doing this for me.

See when you're responding to a request made since May.

interesting I would really like to know the pro con of the system especially in waterlogged areas

Aforxzy:
Painting continues

Good job madam. What man can do, woman can do it better with less headache bravo.

mufutau55:

AlphamaleTech1:

How many numbers of apartments this serve, how big can it be in size. If you don’t mind post some of your jobs here for us to see.

hamtabfawaz:
Buhari of course.
{Sarcasm}

Why Buhari for everything that as nothing to do with him?

Dijita:
I am not sure if you are on ground. If you are doing this from oversea, I will recommend you get an engineer and use your knowledge here to direct him. You may have to fire and rehire. I am talking from experience

It's sound funny oooo, that the fact fire and hire

n3xt:
I did mine POD too with him (@hslbroker2) and I never had to worry about anything.

The only issue I have is my carpenter has been mad that I didn’t allow him to see the supplier because he want to tell him all his woods are bad

I don't understand. Why will your carpenter want to tell him all the woods are bad? Do him want colabo with him to get his own Eguje or what.

Cut The Wires, Cut The Worries | Cordless Circular Saw

>> Time to upgrade tools
>> No more downtime

One thing no one can’t take away from you is investments in tools to make the job easiest for your workers. If you don’t mind how much does this circular saw cost, how long does it work when fully charged, I’m thinking of getting one for myself. The brand please,
Thanks

Aventures:
It is good not to condemn anyone until you hear his sides of the story. But.my plea to everyone is never do advance payment with this guy @ checkitaut to deliver materials for you but rather do POS payment in sighting your goods. Honestly I will not take the fact that he does a good quantity delivery believe me he is the best when it comes to right quantity and quality specification. But when it comes to money and integrity please be careful.

Wow for kind of person you are that I know. Wrote this? this guy most have hit you hard.

somehow:
Oh now I understand you sir
A businessman that can't be trusted with money is no businessman @ all.

I thought he mostly does POD, how come he was paid in advance?

Thank you for the information. (Caveat)

This guy is so proud when I told him to post his price to supply me 15 truck of sharp sand and 7 truck of granite, even though he has supply me over 10 truck in another location before that he never knew. I’m the same guy. I just laughed. I’m luckiest guy then, when he was supplying sand I always paid him for Irons as well. He couldn’t supply at rate we agreed, he reversed my payment two days later.

Olusojisorunmu:
Aventures is your best plug Sir.

Supported, very humble gentleman if is not engage. He’s always engage, there are a couple of them. Do your due diligence, scroll five years back on the thread and read more about many of these guys. There are couple of them.

micgray100:
Thanks for the advice my Oga.. Each time I tell my colleagues I want to retire earlier than the mandatory 35 years in service or 60years age which ever comes first... the way they look at me is very funny... They say that is when I could see more kick backs in the service... Naija mentality again... cutting corners even in the service.... We all to blame...

However, on your advice... time shall tell... naija is still a case study...

Hahahah, its been a case study when we're kids. 55 years plus on auto pilot now, lol.

n3xt:
A decade plus ago, I decided to give 0.35 gauge a shot on my personal project called Chateau De Brabus

Here’s what it look like after several years. No maintenance, no worries.

The thickness of the gauge is not always the cause of roof leakage but bad installation.

Some might think I got lucky. Villa Rosa which is the next build beside my chateau had a similar gauge installed on it, though it has faded we’ve never had to fix a thing on the roofs.

But I’ve seen .75 gauge roof that’s leaking and I've seen stonecoated tiles that got replaced within first year of install.
Expensive doesn’t really make it better.

__________

Person wey no get money must have sense

cc: Dongc

Wow are you serious 0.35 that’s like a thickness of aluminum foil unbelievable, I have never used any less then 0.55 thickness. An interested subject issue to discuss. Lets
have deep view about it from the experts in the house. I have always wondering about the thickness of those aluminum under the stones coats and the weights, again why are some of them faded? Are those ones not original. I’ve not seen any faded or defects ones in west despite the fact they have the most harsh weather in there climates. Many of them has been installed for over 70 years without any maintenance, still looks good till date.

micgray100:
See where the clients asked specifically the cost of setting blocks 2100 blocks alone.

Oh sorry, I only saw your response

micgray100:
Ijebu as a location... is it dry land..?.. the 2100 blocks is too much for 3 bedroom foundation alone...

Lastly.. Your Building plan will help give you more accurate result...

Averagely... Budget 1.5million

Oga@ micgray100 can you please break things down for us how 1.5million will be average cost to build 3 bedrooms bungalow on dry land, when cement is currently sold @ 3, 950 - 4,200 depending on location. I saw woods and roofing @ close to 1,7 million for something similar on kobocity web, with self supervise project. Please sir we need it, may be many of us are doing something wrong ni sir. We need that eyes � opening awareness. For the gentleman that ask for help. Please don’t be scared away go and start even if it is 100k start something put your mind to it you can do it. Stay blessed.

spyder880:
No I don't think so, these guys has known me for too long and we always have this agreement. This was how I started building houses in 1998. As a boy then, I will be paying for 15, 20, or even 10 bags of cement at a dealers shop with my salary till I will have about 150 bags. I also did same with rods and all other materials. By the time i move and do a decking to completion, my friends were surprised.

It's a great way to save money for those who cant keep money, as well as a way to defeat inflation. Just do a foundation excavation and then start buying materials and waiting, you will find new reasons to save more and avoid waste. That's how we started investing in properties those early years.

Please remember to do this with only established names, not dealers that can pack up and run away with money tomorrow.

Hummmm wisdom of wealth creations. Oga sypder880 as given everything out for those young people that go to the club every weekend and spend 5k naira and above and those that choose to buy iPhone load credit to waste on social media. Rethink, you can do same over time. Stop wasting your resources, these are the secrets to build wealth not yahoo, yahoo. overtime it will be a great wealth base. Things don’t happen overnight.

spyder880:
My brother, change is not easy here at all, prices soaring away everyday. The only people I pity are those that are owing me for all the materials I paid for over 3 months ago. I have many rods, and about 350 bags of cement with two different dealers waiting for collection. 100 bags at N3,000 each and 250 bags at N3,150. I hope they won't fight me when I come to pick the cement later this month.

Oga that is the smart way to do things in this volatile markets, preload all the needed material before starting the project, the question is how many of us can afford to do that. I hope your up front payment for those cement will not course argument with suppliers at the time of pick up after 3 months

spyder880:
We even hit coal

Enugu is sitting on billions of tons of coal.

wow as shallow as this Well is. God really blessed this country, can you imagine what will happen to our development if government let every state to manage its resources. God knows what we have under the earth in commercial quantity around the country.

Hajivince:
Please jus ask for their certificate and their COREN

Hahaha, certificate in naija. Almost everyone as one, even those in government get all kinds you asked for, except those that are issued in heaven. Our problem is corruption a cross board.

EgunMogaji2:

Disaster, how will those pillars will straighten? That Engineer should be cooling off in jail

Blessedsunny2:
Good morning everyone I come in peace
That was part of your job sir because business have different level although for me I will send my manager or my boy,maybe you sale mmaximum because real business man should always busy some times and we're in open market were we have union and law guiding us that's why we have some employee worker to Bry out the best choice to the customer
Thanks

Is it those woods are not delivered as scheduled to Brabus site or what? Let hear from Oga with the POD himself.

EgunMogaji2:
Sorry to read this.

Nigeria really needs to develop a worker’s compensation system.

compensation system abi enforcing the law on the book. People are not afraid of consequence of wrong, many of them know they we get away with it. If you see the video of What happened there last year when the building control authority went to building for inspection, the developer is giving his guy other not to let authority have access to the building he is also resisting arrest on that video . It’s a complete mess. Imagine challenging authorities on your site in western world. My brother, if they have to call 5,000 police back up they will.
