Chief, Ignorance is never an excuse. We the so-called "kobo kobo" project owners are the same ones spending multi millions on just one aspect of finishing, most times not getting good value for money. That term seem to have morphed and often misconstrued to denote so many misconceptions. Building small small or "kobo-kobo" doesn't/shouldn't mean; - not performing due diligence - buying fake/inferior products in the name of na kobo-kobo project, then expecting such product to perform magic - adopting substandard building methods - compromising safety - not paying for services rendered - feigning ignorance BTW, does it still count as kobo-kobo if I am capable to walk into the market to purchase materials worth multi-millions in one go? Me I have taken note of the options to source genuine products directly from manufacturer. gurunlocker: 1 Like |
Properties / Re: Construction Of Duplex In Ikate-lekki (A New Dimension To Nigerian Architecture) by megacontrol(m): 11:24am On Dec 26, 2020 |
Hello Skimanski, Sorry to take you all the way back to this old work... i just found it and it's similar to what i have at hand. So my question is, what type of raft is this with a ground beam w/out the footing? I have just received a structural plan that has similar design, the rods are straight rectangles and not the more common inverted T-shaped with the ground beam resting on the flat footing/base. When is such reinforcement design usually applied? skimanski: |

Only you can make that judgement call based on the trend you've observed in your localty. What was the price before? and what is the time period in consideration both historically (backward) and forecast (forward looking)? Where is your area in Lagos? to compare with other cities in Lagos. neduboo: |

I like your mindset and logical approach to your search. I think you're on the right track so don't let anyone project their own complex through you, i wonder if there are no land grabbers and scam estates/agents in ikorodu like any other location. Poverty of the mind is the worst of them all. Follow through with your due diligence like you're already doing bearing in mind there is always a trade-off for any one you decide on. I'm sure you'll be fine. Good luck. somehow: somehow: 2 Likes |

Hello chief, I have a quick question and i hope you find time to answer as always... Pls how many blocks do you estimate roughly this building will require? I want to cross-check this point with something we have planned and the block numbers seems wrong. Thanks |

What are the alternatives to achieving same or similar ceiling as POP? Gypsum boards? With this volume of work you have, it may be worth it to explore if those are less impacted by price increase. May also be possible to collaborate with others to ship stuffs in. If our builders can provide tips on how to work around this crazy POP costs we are witnessing currently. davodyguy: |

Thanks man. That's BAMENDA (coy name) and they do steel shutters only and not wood. I actually just found out that I had their contact from last year. The rental rates didn't make biz sense back then so we ended up purchasing marine boards for that multi-floor project and it served us well. Cheers! rotecch77: |
Properties / Re: Prices Of Cement & Iron Rod by megacontrol(m): 12:30pm On Dec 02, 2020 |
Price of cement in particular is not expected to come down in Lagos especially over the holidays and till next year. This is a personal opinion from what I've seen and observed this week alone, work is not stopping and the demands are still over the roof. But you're likely building outside Lagos from the prices you quoted, so check whats happening around you. If you're waiting for prices to come down then you may have to wait till January, which isn't even guaranteed. ChevyHeavy: |

Bros, Pls pause, infact STOP! and re-access cos you're getting it all muddled up. You don't have structural plan yet you've been told you need a pile and pile is to prevent sinking. Pls do a soil test, followed by a structural plan, before proceeding. If indeed you need a pile (which your soil test will reveal), then this is no more a standard bungalow that usually doesn't require a structural plan and doesn't qualify anymore as kobokobo. While all your points may turn out to be correct, it should be guided by technical facts and not "them-say". Cheers neduboo: neduboo: neduboo: 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Do you sell wood only or you also do rental? If rentals options is available, which type (planks or marine boards) of woods and sizes do you do. Pls check my previous post of a floor plan and advise accordingly. I will be in Ekiti that same weekend of your event. Thanks Johntemmy: |

Do you have formwork for rental? If yes, just provide the rates and qty for the plan. i do not need an analysis unless you plan to that for public knowledge. I will do the cost-benefit analysis myself for this project. Pls let me know if you have or not. Thanks rotecch77: |

I'm still very skeptical about all the recent talk around formwork purchase being a waste viz-a-viz rental, this is largely because we've always used it multiple times. So i'll like to use this floor plan of an upcoming work as case study. can you pls let me know the cost for: - marine board/plywood formwork rental + carpenter labour for installation and removal - steel formwork rental + labour for installation and removal You may estimate internal dimension not shown. Location: Lekki Lagos rotech77 or other person offering such service should feel free to quote as well. n3xt:

Well put. Thanks man. Those rod prices are scary, so will leave that for now. But if you do cement @3200 to site then we could buy 600 bags for keeps. Chekitaut: |

Hello, Pls what are you current prices for cement (300 bags and above) and Iron rod (local) to Lekki? Lemme ask a trivia question; Seeing that your prediction on cement prices continuing to rise has been correct, what's the price trend with iron rods? I think it's been fairly constant and may stay constant or even come down. Agree? For example, if one wants to put say ~N2m+ to stock materials right now for concrete work planned to happen around 2-3 wks time, should we load up on cement or rods? Don't want to split, so either of the two to get bulk purchase rates. Thanks Chekitaut: |
