babeline:
I just recently started commenting & posting here again after a few years break and my first posts since then where about houses for sale (as I was advised) which is actually my side gig & not the door business (which is the main thing I do). So don't be quick to judge. Someone here advised me to open a thread for the doors so the pictures will be seen, & I will do just that. Hope you check it out.

Thank you

Thanks but never mind.
I looked up your posts and didn't find anything on doors, other than the occasional posts but still no pictures.

At best, it would seem that's a side gig or maybe not your core biz. I may be wrong tho. I will need something more focused as it is wooden doors we need.
Already speaking to some of the people that displayed their work here.

babeline:
What type of doors are you looking at getting? I have MDF & Hardwood doors for sale. Chinese, American & turkey. Also German doors. How do I contact you to send sample you pictures?

People should take personal responsibility to do due diligence on a potential vendor and protect themselves from the risk of default.

All this talk of creating a list "of verified" contractors is still you relying on someone else to do the vetting for you. Take personal responsibility!

NL is a good place to source and initiate the convo,but once the transaction eventually moves offline (as expected) then you should treat every transaction like you would with any other vendor you meet on the street.

IMO, some of the factors that contribute to these cases are:

1/ Anonymity: Some clients want to stay fully anonymous and still do transactions. This sets you up to be taken advantage of by shady contractors.

2/ Seems people are getting carried away when they hear others (especially diaspora folks) saying they did transactions worth XYZ millions with ABC remotely without meeting them in person. While this is a great attestation to the parties involved, it should not be seen as a badge of honor that you also want to cop.

If you can; meet the person, know their office/shop/biz location, check them up at other work locations,meet their workers, send your rep if you have to or you are not available or you want to be anon.

It is your money, don't do follow follow.

P.S: I have done multiple transactions anonymously with NL service providers but always ensured adequate risk mitigation at all times. All satisfactory services received, if any issues does arise (hopefully not) I won't be relying on NL intervention alone cos I will already have all i need offline.

is the bottom stand detachable or foldable?

Where is the location?

Hey man,

Did you finally get your doors sorted?
I was following your door search and inquiry as I'll need to tow that line soon.

What and who did you settle for? is there are thread for your project?

Thanks

Some people get mind sha.

As Estate Surveyor and Valuers, we are custodians of rents and we dare not get enticed to violate code of professional practice.

Client's money must not be touched

I had to source outside this place since the vendors didn't reply on time, the one i asked directly replied after a week or so.

abdultobz:
I'm also interested please. Geberet esp.

By automatic, are you asking if it's sensor operated and does not require any manual push to flush? If that's your question, then its a NO.

The picture shown is a concealed, wall hung WC. The cistern and all pipings are conduit, so you will only see the bowl/seat and that little circular part you press to flush when installation and finish is completed.

ak22:
Is this automatic WC ?

Good job man. Your selflessness and willingness to help is worthwhile.
Keep it up and i hope you're rewarded abundantly.

saydfact:
I decided to stick to my word of today rather than tomorrow.. Lol

1. NOT COMPLETELY FINISHED (window location and dim)

2. I tried to achieve your initial sketch, so my design flows in similar pattern.

3. Let me know if you like it.. I'll finish and send on whatsapp.

Find sketch attached.

Goodluck as you build.
Now, I can sleep

Oh nice! Yes, I am aware they were working there last week and have now finished. She invited me over to have a look but somehow that didn't work out, our place is just around you there so i may still stop by.

One of reasons I am (or was) considering the chemical option is that it is a total package that caters for all all areas in the building that is prone to water seepage - roof slab/gutter, parapet walls, bathroom, terrace, balconies

To the best of my knowledge, i have not seen felt applicable to the bathroom or other tight spots prone to wetness inside the build. I may be wrong tho.

@Abolarin91 @jabolo @saydfact Thank you all for insights and contribution. If/when you use felt for the roof, how do you protect other internal wet areas like the bathroom? or it's a non-issue for you.

darenyx:
Personally, I would advice you to go with 3 sisters , the second picture you posted is actually the roof top terrace of my site at ikate , they are currently working there .. I have used bituminous felt severally and it’s not reliable.. 3 sisters 100%

Great!
Was this a sliding or casement window set?
Net and burglars included?

Do you mind sharing a pic or two?

Thanks

Pompoms:
Good day, everyone.
I'm back with my feedback and it's 5 STARS for Adedward.
We had no physical meeting from start to finish but I got updates and pictures as the job progressed. He delivered a perfect job and right on time too.
Adedward (A & S Aluminium Company) is highly recommended.

Bituminous Felt membrane VS Chemical Admixtures ....

Which is more effective in the long run for waterproofing a roof slab with parapet walls which also serves as water tank deck and outdoor terrace space?

I had almost decided to go with the conventional bituminous felt solution until i recently stumbled on some projects where the chemical solution was used. The company (3sisters) claims their chemical admixtures option doesn't require maintenance unlike the felt that you have to redo every now and then.

1) Which of the two options is more effective and recommended and why? Assuming cost is not an issue, we just want the best solution.

2) Do have experience using the 3sisters company products? If not, can you recommend an alternative chemical admixture product.

Thanks

Do you know if this is a temporary issue? Is this a raw material (explosive) supply chain issue?

What are the chances of prices normalizing if/when the issue is resolved?
or should we be really worried and buy ahead for even future projects (like 3 months time)?

Chekitaut:
Serious issue on Granite market, explosive used in Quarry to blast stone price increase by 300%.

Island, V.I, Ikoyi, Lekki-Ajah price rise to N7,500/ton(transportation inclusive).

Mainland @ N6,350/ton(transportation inclusive)

Noted with thanks.

diordaves:
As you are the seller, you dictate the condition of sale.

The professional thing to do is to negotiate with YOUR agent before commissioning the (estate) agent to look for buyers. You negotiate what you think is commensurate with the amount of work done. 5% of 45 million is a lot of money just for leg work. Personally I will not pay that much.

Regarding legal fees, the buyer pays. You could draft a contract of sale with your lawyer for a fee irrespective of how much you eventually sell the property before putting the property in the market.

At the point of sale, you serve the drafted contract to the buyer who take it to their lawyer for interpretation. If the buyer are satisfied, they sign the contract and then make payment. Shikena.

Thanks...but durability can't depend on workmanship, rather that'll depend on the material. How much the material can withstand the test of time.

I found a China factory that makes it but the prices are not too far off from Aluminium, so will just stick to traditional Aluminum frames then.

saydfact:
They are stronger than the Aluminum types in my opinion... Offcourse, durability depends on workmanship.

It was used for our site office when we were constructing Shoprite Sangotedo and it lasted forever

Guys, I came across a sliding window made with PVC frames instead of the regular aluminium and was told it has been making inroads for a while now as a substitute to the high-end Tower or Thick imported profiles.

Does anyone have experience using casement or sliding windows made with PVC?

Kindly share.

Thanks

Thanks.. that looks more like it. But do you mean 5% to each of them or 5% total to be split btw Agent & Lawyer?

babeline:
Its normally 5% but you can always negotiate with the agent. Depends on who you're working with

Attached.

Enyinne:
Pls how does the concealed wall WC look like . Attach picture for me .

His number or handle pls.

Enyinne:
Femi , u can call him

Please can you give me the contact of the NL QS you mentioned in this post, i'll like him to fix a BOQ for me for a renovation and he'll be paid. Thanks

Enyinne:
He didnt request for money as he said in the forum to give my details so he can send me quote . I gave him d details and he sent for me freely . I just dashed him the 10k to encourage him as a young hussling guy. We still talk and he wants to visit my site to see how am doing it. I will recommend him to people that may need his services in future. Even if u want to start , just save up and start with ur little budget , cos if ur looking at quote ,u will get HBP even before the project kick start. The bill can be discouraging and prices difference is much now as compared to quote done.Note : my current builder charged me 15k for QS

Please, can anyone that sells sanitary wares provide pictures, brand and prices of concealed (wall) WC that they have?

Thanks

How much for this? and which brand is it?

ChiefSupplier55:
Wall wc

I am the SELLER (not agent)... asking how much percentage should be paid to agent that brings buyer and how much to pay to lawyer for sorting paperwork.

Chekitaut:
My opinion collect N1m frm both seller & buyer.

Hello all,

If I am selling a property in the region of 40-45m, what % is practical and reasonable to pay as agency fees and also legal fees?

I know most times they request 5% or 10% each but people end up paying them much less depending on property value, so as a SELLER what % should i bargain for?

What is the realistic, reasonable and practical percentage to pay each of those professionals? What's obtainable out there?

Thanks

a) en-suite and inside the bedroom such that a visitor have to come into the bedroom to use or
b) outside such that it is directly accessible from the living room

thanks

Hello man,

I see many different projects where discussed in bits on this thread. Can you please point me to where this particular project was discussed in details, especially the special roof job?

Thanks

Recipe for a LeakProof Roof

Slabs, Roof Steelwork, Plastering/Waterproofing, Guttering, Insulation and finally Roof Covering.

Brabus

Wao! thanks for your response.

That's an interesting one which we might face then.
The general belief is that the building height will be sufficient.... so was the low pressure experienced on the topmost floor only or across all the way down?

Appreciate your time taken.

Aventures:
Initially we have the water tanks on the roof slab but the pressure wasn't good enough so we raise it with steel pipe stands to about 2 meters.

Hello, hope you remember this old very nice project you did.

Pls did you have the water tanks on the roof slab or on a separate stanchion?

Thanks

Aventures:
more of roof gutter

Please can you provide an update on this?
The initial post was a question from someone asking if it were possible to register direct for COREN without first going through NSE. Can you clarify and provide more details on the cost and process as you promised earlier. Thanks

Appswheel:
Yes, it is possible to apply for COREN without NSE. I do not have the cost and timeline at the moment, I will check with my contacts.
