No.
It won't do the job at all.
Our irons aren't of standard quality.
Use 12mm.

I’m yet to see the goods. Even my supplier is yet to see his payment and everyone is cool.
The same guy is also doing 800sqm + roofing tiles for me this weekend. That one won’t be POD though.

POD works for those who do not entertain dramas.

I recently did 50 tons of iron rod POD. In fact 80% of my nairaland purchases are POD except when I’m dealing with the ambeoloruns (starters who do not have resource).

_______

@blessedsunny2 how about POD for my little purchase. That’s one way to build trust and guarantee repeat business.

Thanks for prompt delivery. You did well.

No we dont have a borehole here, boreholes are not a sure water provision option in cities like Enugu with a very low water table. We only did a shallow water well before, and its not supplying us with enough water. We decided to build this new one that will be very deep.

For people who're asking to add price to each design, please know that prices are not usually fixed. As things are in this country right now, prices of materials fluctuate everyday. One of the factors that determine the cost or square metre is the price of materials.

Another is the location of your project. The thing is materials are cheaper in some places than others. The price of plaster in the east is not the same as the price in Abuja or Lagos. Also, the cost of transport to/within your location also matter as well as the expenses.

The design you choose also matter.
There are simple designs that will just be flat with rosart in the middle.
There are some with a little more but still simple.
There are some with lighting box with plenty paparazzi and effizy. And there are some high class that are a bit complicated and take days to finish just a room if you want a nice finish.
Some designs consume more materials than others.

At His Grace Interior Design, we work according to your budget. You either send us your designs or you choose from our catalog. Whichever one you choose, simple, complex or luxury, you get quality job.

We are always upfront with whatever is needed to get your work done. E.g Scaffolding and water.
We are here to provide the best for you. Contact us today on +2347069462837

Just look at the under decking of the collapsed highrise. Very untidy for a structure of that magnitude. Purely a regulatory failure.

twinskenny:
The suspended lasbca boss.. he should answer some questions

capetownboyz:
House help me check If the cost of this roofing is right ..it is a flat surfaced roofing. .just like this below .Except it cost 1.4m to get that done ..And my architect quoted 2.9m.

topsy23:
There is another building inside the Osborne Estate, about 6 storey building. The house is already Tilt on one side but they are trying to do another pile to support the building.

somehow:
Too many corner cutting.

Negligence
Using unqualified workers/contractors
Underquoting just to win contracts
Not following proper building codes
Using substandard materials

The list is just too many! My brother government regulation where many of its agents is out there to make money for them self you probably know what you went through yourself, that is the society we find our self its so shameful doesn’t seems like there’s anything wrong with us may God help us


The worst of them all is the lack of regulation from the government!

michlins:
Nna this one tire me. Every building under construction right now will be looking like a dead zone

See, I'm not crazy. I know the country that I'm living in. I know there's no emergency rescue services (yes there is somewhat but not at the level that I'm used to).

So "na jeje ni omo eko mi ma nlo" in Nigeria.

spyder880:
They are burnt bricks. Like these..........

EgunMogaji2:
Chairman, your own is coming too Insha Allah .

One of this tower just collapsed at Gerald

One of three towers on Gerrard just collapsed to smithereens… Emergency Services yet to arrive. A defective structure suspected… it felt like an earthquake… like a horror movie…. Sad �

EgunMogaji2:
I don’t have all the answer but I’ve been spending time doing research. I’m retired so I have all the time in the world.

I know the outside will get cladded. The interior too and solar powered air conditioner.

Oooooh... I do post but sometimes it's not easy shuffling sites and family and the editing of the pictures also take time coz u have to crop to size... I post daily on WhatsApp because it doesn't require much editing but I will work on that... But on this general thread, someone insulted me coz I was trying to help and I just decided to read seldomly... Thanks for taking note of our work... Deeply appreciate

Hajivince:
Please Mr Kopell, I don't understand, what did I do?!...

theForth:
I don't know for roofing sheets but for ceramic tiles, you're very wrong .

jabolo:
Remote working is not the issue here. In this case, an architect might need to visit the site more than once to clarify or check things and the cost of the visit is a big bugbear when it's out of town. I often offer to bear this but there is a natural limit after which you begin to wonder whether a local option would have been a smarter choice.

There was a dispute here recently on concrete paving work. I believe had the contractor had been able to readily drive down perhaps on his way home from work, it might not have escalated as much as it did.

So, I've worked with many artisans here, imported from Lagos to work on my project. Other than Gbadexy - and that's simply because he supplies paints - on time, on spec, and makes himself readily available for remote consultation - I have found myself wishing these were more local because my project would perhaps then get more attention.

If I was scoring them, and they got a perfect 10 in the actual job execution, I would deduct at least half a point for follow-up unresponsiveness, sadly magnified by the distance issue.

IMO, of course. Good day.

megacontrol:
While that is perfectly fine to work with someone remotely, is that the ideal situation or just a limitation placed on you by your geographical location, which leaves you with no choice?

If the client is fully on ground and don't have such limitations, then s/he is best served with an architect which they can meet easily in person.

Zzyzxt:
Pls I need the contact of a good architect to draw a building plan for me. Must be in Ibadan.

They’re not here.

EgunMogaji2:
I’m actively shopping for imported tiles and I don’t want to be bothering them. But them don tell me to shut up sha - we mooove.

rotecch77:
It’s beta to do the roofing now.
Others building components can come after the others
I.e you can do burglar bars and keep then follow by windows , etc

Don’t let village people know that I advise you to roof now bcs they don’t want you to roof now so that your block can get weaker to the point of collapse of some part of the structure.
