spyder880:Oga spyder, I was unable to see full picture of the toilet/bathrooms but it seems u use shower mixer all through. Considering this project is for commercial and residential, I want to believe shower cubicle may be too much in cost and difficult to maintain by occupier. Pls correct me if I am wrong. |

lawali:pls help address the question above. On that water issue, is the borehole pump power source not connected to a flat? Who has control/to pay for the electricity for pumping the water? pls share ur idea. |

spyder880:Sorry for d rework. I want to assume one sumo pump will be used to supply from well to all flats. Please, I am interested in knowing how water will be pumped to each flat by occupied tenant without sharing control with other tenants. As little as this matter is, most often is a challenge in multiple flats. 1 Like |

spyder880:Spyder, I could see you combine local frame with foreign door for this project. Pls what is the average cost per door. Is it cheaper comparing to foreign doors with frame together. There is colour variation btw d foreign door and local frames. Any way to manage that? I need ur candid advise on whether to use complete local frame with door, combinate local frame with foreign door or use complete foreign door with frame vis a vis quality,durability and cost. |

spyder880: Spyder, sorry to take u back on water distribution. I always imagine how pumping of water in mutiple flats is being managed. I can assume perhaps one tank per flat is used but who control the pump especially when only tenants occupy all flats? I will like to learn from u if this challenge is managed during your design. I have witnessed fight btw tenants over who will use his/her electricity/generator to pump water for all. Do you install heaters for hot water in all bathrooms of this luxury flats? |

Properties / Re: The Cost And Conditions For Building These Types Of Houses by lawali: 12:51pm On Feb 01, 2015 |
spyder880:Well done team. I can say, I followed most discussion on property section with less time to talk (mean write). One of the best take away from this section for most of us who struggle hard to make this money is getting more and better done at reduced cost. I appreciate all comments and contributions so far. Recently, I am at finishing stage of my project, getting ready to intsall windows and I have been going through many quotations for the job. Before now, I am an ardent fan of Tower product. I used it for my 1st house 10 years ago and I loved the colour,thickness & weight. Recent discussion with an installer pointed that I may be disappointed with available Tower profile thickness and variation in colours (for same order) compared to 10yrs ago.Though, I found this statement suprising and wish any house member can shed more light on the allegation. From my discussion with the guy, I asked my self if I go for other product of lesser thickness and save 30-35% project cost won't that be worthwhile. Am I missing any other thing that the window won't be heavy? why do I need the profile to be thick or window heavy any way? I should feel cool, In as much as my window design does not introduce much overhanging weight. At least,those louvers windows with less metal used by early generations are still there intact (no shaking). With all these economy crunch, man needs to wise up and know it is not business as usual. 3 Likes |

Muyesky:Thanks for the feedback. I think 1st aluminium is commonly used in south-south n east. is qualitec or Kolokote good enough as well? Can u talk about cost and stone coated? |
Properties / Re: Roofing A 4 Bedroom Bungalow In Akure (aluminium Phase) by lawali: 4:45pm On Aug 10, 2014 |
Muyesky:Welldone Muyesky. I need clarifications on these roofing stuff. Does the the total square meter include facial cladding, ceiling cladding, ridge/gutter? I am just imagining if that is for only roofing sheet. Is this price (N1350 psqm) still obtainable for Tower as of August (this period)? What about these other product Qualitec, MINL, Kolokote, 1st Aluminium- are they of good quality and can match Tower? From ur experience, on stone coated sheet, are the local product (Tower and Qualitec) actually better than foreign product? I laernt they cost more than those imported. |

I am also interested in knowing about the gypsum. So so waiting. Meanwhile, I need clarification on quality of aluminium roofing sheet and stone coated. From my little finding, nigerian made (Tower and Qualitec) are more expensive and learnt are better than imported ones ( not made for tropical region). For aluminium sheet, many local products (tower, qualitec, MINLMINLlokote, 1st aluminium, AGEX) abound. Which one is the best in quality n price. Pls share ur opinion? Trying to avoid confusion of the desperate marketers on & offline. |

opey25: u said we can't use scientific calculation for moonsighting just because our holy prophet SAW didn't use it.that means when next u are going for hajj/umrah make sure u ride camel cos there was no aeroplane during the prophet SAW's time.u should also make sure u don't attend any masjid that uses loudspeaker and microphone.why is it dat majority of countries in the world will celebrate eid tomorow.I haven't read any verse in the Holy quran that said muslims shouldn't do halal scientific research that would be of benefit to Islam and human race.we always play politics with everything in nigeria.May the Almighty Allah give the Nigerian muslim ummah sincere and just leaders.You should re-read what I wrote. I do not object to using science but for beginning and ending of Ramadan, physical sighting of the moon takes priority. Visual aids people used to search is also from science and is accepted but scientific calculation can only support the sighting. It is just like weather forecast that someone will say considering all these dat rain will fall but Allah can still do otherwise to prove science wrong and to show His ultimate control of his creation. When people come with calculation and say new moon can not be born in a specific day(within the end and start of new month), ask them if they are Allah who created the moon. On the last note, if our leaders committed an error on this, they are to answer for it. I believe our unity is more important than the division. pls I am still looking for where Eid prayer will be said close to Agege/Ikeja. I prayed Allah guide all of us aright. 4 Likes |
Islam for Muslims / Re: The Moon Has Been Sighted, Sunday, July 27, 2014 is Eid-Ul-Fitr by lawali: 7:11am On Jul 27, 2014 |
ShehuAba: Eid Mubarak to my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters here. Though these controversies are tiring but am pretty sure the NSCIA will come out better and stronger.Alhamdulilah for the end of ramadan. I anticipated the difference of Eid- fitr day at the end of the fast. The controversies btw physical sighting of the moon and using scientific calculation should never arise in the first place. As muslims, we are directed to physically sight moon to start and end the ramadan. Once anyone that testify to Shahadat claimed to have sighted it and announced by the muslim leader, we are to follow. If they are wrong, they will answer for the wrongdoing of other muslims but if they make mistake, I know Allah will forgive them of the wrong doing of others. For anyone to now base his start and end of Ramadan on scientific calculations and eventually that do not conform with physical sighting, he/she will account for his action individually. I live in southwest and already listen to announcements that tomorrow will be Eid as against Sultan's announcement. I will not fast today and can go to eid tomorrow. Can anyone let me know any eid praying ground close to Agege/Ikeja that parayer will be said today? I wish to attend. |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Netanyahu, HAMAS And Dearth Of Reason In Middle East by lawali: 7:44am On Jul 23, 2014 |
YoursGEJ: OP you said granting Palestine independence was the only way to end the conflict? I beg to differ. Israel will never allow Palestinian independence. Your solution is tantamount to sending a demonic child to a christian school hoping he will change. Covering a wolf with sheep clothing doesn't change the fact that it is still a wolf. Hamas are terrorists and will continue to be blood-thirsty terrorists, with or without an independent state. So independence is not gonna happen. Why grant sovereignty to a state that will be controlled by a gang of animals. With that authority, they can purchase nuclear weapons and I don't rule out those savages using them on Israel even if it wipes out their own people. After all they have been using Palestinians as human shields since time immemorial. You failed to realise a golden rule of doing to others what you can accept back. This war can be traced back to 1948 when Isreal was made to occupy palestinian colony by the west. By then, palestinians were not terrorist and suicide bombers but many things change along the way. In as much as I will not support terrorism, truth must be said, who is more of terrorist btw isreal and paletinian? Check the map of that region from 1948 and you will realised how isreal has occupied palestinian land forcefully over time. Also killing them is also to aid more occupation. You talked about palestinian should not be independent inorder not to purchase nuclear weapons, but Isreal has and use other massive weapons on palestinian people. Any reasonable human cannot support what isreal is doing to Palestinian. Beyond religion differences, it is inhuman. The only way to peace is to be just, address the injustice and do to one another (Palestinian/Isreal) what you can accept. 4 Likes |

Brabus NG: Beyond Design: Is the land so precious in thy sight?I believe this is the best time to sneak into the class after watching (reading) all drama through the window. Men, chairs and tables have been flying around. I can only assume that Brabus has same problem just like me. There is time to say NO and stay within your limit/boundary rather than rubbish yourself. Over the weekend, my wife reminded me how I managed construction of my 1st house. I allowed friends, workers and suppliers get away with many things (poor quality & high price), I could see them but kept mute, just because I don't want to cut relationship. I later learnt business is not meant to done as such. My sincere advice to Brabus is set your boundaries for your project and come rain or shine, ensure you do not go out of it. At the stage you are now, you should stop jumping on available jobs rather finish one well and let clients refer you based on quality job done. Learn from Spyder's experience. Money and jobs do not come easy. Fumbling on available ones is not acceptable to anyone. Kindly resolve your current problems and move on. Please let's hear happy ending on Qc-1 project. Wish you well. 1 Like |

spyder880: When the owner of this house first invited me to come and join in the building of this mansion, I had a fairly good idea of how the final product will look like. But I never thought it will be as beautiful as it turned out to be. It was challenging from the first day till even yesterday, but we all fought the war till the end. All glory be to God for giving us the power, we thank the landlord for giving us the opportunity to serve, and for being very supportive through the ups and downs of this project. As this project is coming to an end, we want to thank everybody.Welldone for a good job. Wish you success in subsequent sites. Though still waiting for rough cost for this project as icing on the cake. |

cruxkhalif:Major problem most of we Nigerians have is that patient to go through things thoroughly. Jumping from 1st page to the current page can't make any explanation or reasoning behind cost change to be clear. Spyder gave more than enough info on this house and the least anyone should do is to go read them out. Most of these information can never be gotten from many places or professionals. If to say Spyder moved from inital quote to the current one without explanation, most of us would have asked same question on why price change. As a potential client, the least I will expect from you is to research your contractor fully. In summary, we u take or leave this mansion at N14M offer? 1 Like |

spyder880:Spyder, to say the least I am impressed. Building house is not theory. Present cost being above the stimates was expected and known to all of us following the thread from initial stage. Simply put to anyone who has not followed and can't take the time to go through the pages,if you are offered to buy this mansion at this stage with N14M, will you take it or leave it? At least we see many carcass sold at higher prices. Back to ur football with son, hope is not local El-classsico? Enjoy urself with ur family. |
