Hello all,

What is the estimated cost savings per block in molding blocks on site vs purchasing specially made blocks?
For the sake of analysis, lets say we need 20k (twenty thousand) blocks and space is available on site to stack it....

1) What is the best unit cost (and savings) we can achieve if we mold compared to buying from the market at btw N200-N220 per block?

2) What are the materials required and quantities to mold 20,000 pieces of 9" blocks on site?

edit: Machine will be used for the molding due to qty required (over 20k) and to get good quality.

Thanks for your contributions.

Machine definitely...

Rubbiish:
Unit cost will also depend on the method of block molding, if u will be using machine or hand mold blocks

Thanks man.

gesodrides:
If it is shipped via Grimaldi, 2007 jeep patriot = 500k

Hello,

Please what is the cost to clear a 2007 JEEP PATRIOT?

Thanks

The worst part is that his rate isn't even cheap.

180k for 30T granite isn't cheap at all, it's above fair market price and still he couldn't deliver or refund. i know he'll claim full truck load bla bla but it's all BS.

The dude doesn't even seem willing to refund. Don't blame the client for calling him out as a fraud.

Dubemcapital1:
What is cheap most times are very expensive. CHEKITAUT you are a disgrace to contractors on this forum am sure you are not an engineer.

@segzy didn't you verify this man before contracting him.

This is what any serious minded builder/engr/developer/client should be doing. This is how i source my granite and sand supplies nowadays.
it is not so much of a big deal like these people make you think. Majority of them are just "middle men" claiming "suppliers".

Imagine someone claiming big time supplier that cannot replace ordinary two trucks delivery pending the resolution of truck issue. and they'll come here be claiming they do this and that. SMH

KIDfurniture:
If you need granite travel to places like ibadan , abeokuta just once and meet with people at the quarry one on one . Dont come here and give money to yahoo boys . They will divert your funds to solve personal problems. They re just greedy and wicked. If you're on this nairaland and your mission is to spoil people's business. You will surely die untimely. I hate people who re not honest with passion . They re cursed people.. they will remain poor until they die. Yahoo boys turn roofers , granite suppliers , building material suppliers. What do you expect from a yahoo boy. I'm sure he is using science to calm all of you he is owing . FSARS ni ma fi ba aye e je..

Morning all,

I have a quick question to get your perspectives on "to liquidate some funds from MMF" vs "change some USD".

Lets say i have an urgent need for N2m today and i have a MMF account funded in excess of that and also old some $$ cash at hand (which is needed in future).

In a few weeks, naira will be available to replace either of the funds used of the two options above.

Option 1: Liquidate 2m from the MMF account, top-up the account back when naira funds become available. i think current MMF interest rate ~ 12%

Option 2: Sell of some USD to meet the need, buy back USD at parallel market rate when naira funds become available (n.b: spread btw USD buy & rates)

Option 3: Maybe you should just give a soft loan for 2wks and problem solved.

Thanks for your input.

Going by four coaches, what does that bring your effective headroom to? over 3m?

Have you seen any residential build go beyond four coaches?

For some time now, we have been considering a really high headroom design for an upcoming project.

diordaves:
For rental, I do three coaches. For personal (retirement) home, I will go four.

Four coaches bring out the beauty of the POP design and make your living room more majestic with an illusion of space.
Art work on the wall display better just like the effect on museum walls This also improves the air flow and make the home cooler. Three coaches are awesome but four coaches are extraordinary with a master finish.

Hello,

How much will it cost to do a fully loaded china truck sharp sand delivery to Opebi Ikaja?

Thanks

Thanks

tevanso:
use sharp sand for filling and use 3/4 size of granite

bixton:
You can use that size of granite that's called "rice" because of beautification purpose. You can fill to about 3"-4" of it.
You can use sharp sand or depending on your area, there's a condemn sand(very free from mud and laterite) used in backfilling foundation. It's kind of black in colour but it has sharp sand qualities and properties and sets faster. Depth of filling sand is at your discretion.

Hell all,

I want to use gravel to beautify the space in front of the house under a tree, it will also serve as car park in cases of spillover.
We have used interlocked stones before but the tree root pulls out the stones and makes it uneven, so we are considering using gravel.

My questions are:

1) Which type of sand should placed under to prepare the floor before filling up with gravel?

2) Which size of gravel will give best results of good looks and hold the stones in place when vehicles park and drive in/out?

Feel free to add any other comments of note.

Thanks

Please state why it is not advisable.

In my opinion, there is absolutely nothing wrong in buying iron rods a month ahead if it is stored properly. The suppliers that you will order from do you know how long they've held those rods in inventory?

The price of rods has been in steady increase until recently, so if i'm able to lock down for a good price then i'll take the option and keep in storage.

metrecube:
Its not advisable.
If you are thinking of price fluctuation, you can pay in advance to a reliable supplier. This is what I normally do especially with iron. My supplier is reliable, if the price comes down I pay the current price but if higher I pay the amount I deposited.

Hello everyone,

Please does anyone know a good mechanic or technician that is familiar with the diesel engine used to drive a concrete mixer.

Please advice if you have anyone that can fix this.

Thanks

Thanks guys for the prompt and professional responses. We have taken your points and will use it on all suspended slabs.

Timtol:
I can advertise you to use it if you don't see it as a waste of money, but the DPM will help you in a way that it will hold the water during casting and after casting.
It helps you to retain the water and through this solidifies not allowing the water to escape and you gonna have a smooth result after the DPM is been removed at a certain day after curing for 28days.
God's speed.

Hello all,

After using membrane (nylon) on the DPC to protect the foundation, is it still necessary to use membrane on the suspended slabs (decking)?

Is there any proven justification?

Thanks

Hello chief,

How much to estimate to clear 2006 Range Rover HSE. Roro on any shipping line.

Thanks

good.

i went to one site and found about 4 different gravel types/sizes.
i can remember some mentioned as 3/4" down, 1/2" and more interesting is the one called "rice".

had a chat with the engineer and he said they use different one for different casting. what i found interesting is that they don't use the same granite for slab and columns.

is this valid or just down to preference?

segzy14:



Use 3/4”

yeah its multiple floors

gordonbarrett:
200mm thick. Wow thats good. I guess it must have a basement or it is a high rise.

Sorry, i made a mistake in the length which i just corrected from 10m to 20m.

thanks for the quick response, kindly check again on the numbers.
