hii im working on a project and there has been a little misundertanding between me and the project engineer.
now my question is
Should an engineer's fee include supervision of block work, lintel, and columns, or is it usually separate??

This was so helpful, I later connected with a rod vendor around adealu Lagos and I got the rod for less than what was in the quotation. Thank you 🙂

We’re about to start construction by this weekend God willing.

Please I need some guidance. My building project is at the decking stage and both the plumber and electrician came around. They said they need to do the conduit piping (laying of pipes inside the decking before casting).

They sent me a quotation but I’m not sure if the charges are fair or if I’m being overbilled. I don’t mind paying well for good work, but I also don’t want to be scammed.

Has anyone here done this recently?
• How much did you pay your plumber/electrician for conduit before decking?
• Is it usually charged per m² of slab, per pipe length, or just a lump sum?

Any advice or breakdown will be highly appreciated. 🙏🏽

Thanks in advance.

Lampert505:
This will be very helpful, thanks for the insight
Appreciate you big time

4 rooms

Deeegbee:
Please how many bedrooms are you decking?

this is an eye opener thread and i appreciate all these responses I’ve gotten so far. Very helpful, God bless everybody

Where did you price the iron rod sir, where’s the office located

I’m based in Lagos, Iyana ipaja to be precise. I dunno if you have any dealer around there

Beframia:
Is it not the same usual (not TMT) Y12 rods I was told costs 9.5k yesterday that's quoted to be 14.8k here? I did a rough estimate of the cost difference on the required number of Y12 rods alone to be around 752k.
Bros, check well o!

This will be very helpful, thanks for the insight
Appreciate you big time

floshady02:
@Lampert505 after getting prices on jiji, get a pen and paper, modify prices in your quote. Turn the table around, give the quote to your engineer or whoever is buying materials and tell them this is what they should buy. They will try to still convince you by saying your own prices is wrong but don’t give in stand your ground. When the person buying for you gets to to where they want to buy, out of nowhere, ask to speak to the seller also and negotiate price yourself and make sure you pay into the sellers account. Don’t be weak or shy with people you are dealing with, they will reap you off and take advantage of you. Stand your ground. It’s your hard earned money.

thanks for your help and input.

The location of the project is ikola alagbado, close to command ipaja

It’s a 6 inches slab. 150mm/25

OkanlawonB:
You left out two vital information as regards your question:

1. Location of Project.

2. Dimension of Slab.

Thanks for the input bro

Good job, people are right that there's more to fix, but remember that you can and will always improve.

i'm still building, hence i posted this because i was able to work on the prev/next button. the pause/play as well as the progress bar. and i have received positive reviews so far. i still dont get why it is like this on your screen lol

these are screenshot gotten from
iphone Xs mas
Apple ipad pro
samsung Tab 2 10
Amazon kindle fire HD 7

these are tablets, mobile phones and Large screen devies

fastanddubious:
That's display for tablet above...
Check with your inspector tool

Modified: There's also no information about the currently playing song. Just plays in the background and also no visual feedback to show that the song is clickable.

what is the size of your screen? cus i have tested on over 10 devices and it goes well

fastanddubious:
You can do better as this is a bad subpar design
You can try something less complex

portfolio project is what it is.

and can you pls refer me to the bugs you encountered sir? if it is for the music file loading late, it is because those files are a bit heavy

for the improper Css, can you pls refer me to them, i deeply appreciate your input

p.s i am not done building yet sir.

GREATIGB0MAN:
This is a portfolio project.
The design is ok... many things aren't working well

So many bugs... improper css all over the place

No one builds a music app as a website... it's usually an App where they can save the musics to play later... I believe this is just a portfolio project

lol.
looking for gigs, internship roles, i have not been able to get one lol

Nah! this is mad.

impressive. how can i reach out to you bro? its been really hard for me getting Gigs or jobs

Sometimes I consider UI Designers as some of the trickiest people in the design and development ecosystem. These guys can be very mean with their ideas... I mean, they just go ahead and put these things into perspective without minding the developer's prowess. Well, I guess that is why companies carefully select their team.

I was to create a simple interior design website from scratch with a minimal budget. And me, I like doing things wey pass me sometimes... Instead make I kukuma go use WordPress with elementor jejely... No, I no dey gree hear word . I went on to use Vue/Nuxtjs.

The funny thing is, I have never worked on any project using Nuxt. So, I went on with Nuxt3 anyways just to see what I can achieve with it. (This is why I opened a thread earlier talking about project-based learning)

So I went on with Nuxt3 and with the documentation open on one tab, I decided to make the process easier for myself by using tailwind classes. I could have written out my own css classes to achieve same, using pure CSS or Sass sha!

Nuxt3 is quite simple I have to say... with the options to use either their composite or option API, I feel more comfortable using the composite API... na so I enter dev mode o! And na so I achieve this here: https://perfectfitinteriors.com

And the figma design I tweaked to my taste is: https://www.figma.com/proto/Ns26ZMGNvBEiEiYTPYa6ZO/Interior-Design-Webflow-Website-Template-(Community)?node-id=1-458

Anyways, as we all know, what makes your website dynamic is your content.
How I handled that was simple. I used sanity headless cms... who puts out static content these days anyway?

Basically, that's a jamstack website and whatever I learned will never leave my head. That's why I always encourage project-based learning.

doing backend stuffs is quite fun but these days, I just see it as re-inventing the wheels if you're just building a basic website. use wordpress for your content if you can't handle other headless cms's and employ the power of the almighty Graqhql. You will be alright.
Except you're building out software for scale... no go dey do pass yourself.

Sometimes I'd build out an API using Nest or Express and sometimes I do that with Laravel. My own be say, na as body sweet me and based on the particular project I am working on. However, moving forward, I am delving more into building out my API's using GoLang.


Anyway, I just dey bored and I say make i drop one for una.

Modified: Take note of the figma link. Ensure the node-id bla bla bla is selected also, otherwise you won't see the flow/pages

oh wow.
it is going through here boss
i guess it is your network sir

LikeAking:
Blank page.

hi guys!
so there's this design i saw jus recently on twitter and i decided to built it out, it has been an amazing one for me so far as i was able to work on the progress bar, pause and play button and also the Prev and Next button. i'm building with react and styling with tailwindCss

how much would you rate this? and what more do you think i need to work more on?

I’ll add tablet optimization for the task to be done this week. Once again, thanks for helping check it out 🙂

Emitheo74:
Not optimized for tablet - but impressive nevertheless.

A month back, I started learning React and it has been a tough and amazing ride so far, I’ve been able to create minimal projects in which I shared here as well. The recent one was this amazing landing page design I saw on figma, and I decided to Code it out,
Been working on it for weeks, and I was finally able to upload the live link here on some of my recent post, but jus last week I was able to Add some other features like the

Responsive navigation Bar
added some animation

The animation was done using AOS library and this is the live link. What’s your thought on this and how would you rate this?

I’ll be working on the forms this week as God wishes 🙂


I’m open for Gigs and internship as well! 🙂

oh! Thanks
Ill work on that

Sleekcode:
Input field should have spacing

It’s actually responsive my bro
Can you share how it look like on your screen to know what to fix?

andyboi4real:
Great Job. It will be much better if it's responsive and I think a link to ur GitHub is better than to ur Twitter.

P.s Your GitHub profile looks familiar, are you a member of Tech 360 on Twitter?

alright, noted boss ❤️�

chukwuebuka65:
Practice more with frontend mentor projects as they give you a design to work with. A design with mobile and desktop version, fonts , colors and every other thing you need to turn a design to code. Also don’t spend to much time on vanilla js. Once you know the basics , choose a framework .

Thanks for this reviews and advice my bro..
i wasn't really working with a design in most of those projects, i think everything will come perfect when i begin to work with a specific one

majesticguy:
Of all the projects, i kinda fancied the last one.

You really need to work on structuring your divs, sections or containers perfectly, as it seems one of the above is overflowing, hence, the website is kinda tilty which shouldn't be.

Fonts: look for a font family that compliments the site. It's kinda a beauty site, try not to go with fonts that are formal.

Images: it seems your image sizes are kinda massive, hence the slow load time of site. Go for image sizes that are from the range of 300px & below.

Also work on your paddings and margins. It's seems you were kinda in a haste while working on this project. Take your time, research and see other people works on dribble and behance, then from there, have a mental picture of what you want to create, then take your time to work on the project. It's best to have one perfectly crafted project, than an array of mediocre projects. If you are an artistic person, it's an added advantage.

Finally, I'd advise you to take your time and learn the raw CSS.


NB: I also started sometime last year and these are the few tips I think would make your site stand out.

thanks my bro
i didnt really work with design with most of them

fastanddubious:
You tried
Apart from a few misplaced design elements

So I dived into the tech Field around January, I was really occupied and couldn’t be consistent the way I wish, i was a bit free from March and I utilize my time into learning html, Css, tailwindCss, vanilla js, git and GitHub, it was really tough and amazing at the same time, thanks to those I looked up to that mentored me both in NL and Twitter ❤️

I built projects with the stacks I learnt. I work with design from my head with some of them and Frontendmentor design with some of them too

Side Projects I built in 2022:

◆ e-commerce challenge(html,tailwindCss, vanilla Js): https://opeyemilsneakers.netlify.app
◆ digital rosary for Muslim (html, tailwindCss, vanilla Js): https://tesbihpro.netlify.app
◆ Todo web app (html,tailwindCss,Vanilla js) still building : https://opeyemiltodo.netlify.app
◆ Launchdown-countdown(html, tailwindCss, vanilla Js):
https://opeyemil2023.netlify.app
◆ Prettyglitz website(functionality yet to be fully added):
https://prettyglitzz.netlify.app

pls help check all and give reviews and advice on what more I need to work on! I’m planning on learning React very soon so I’ll be able to contribute to openSource project as well ❤️

Oh
Thanks for this, I’ll check it out ❤️

You dont need backend for local storage.

Just read up this article and test it out.
