I need expert opinion on shipping container house. I'm seriously contemplating on this and what are d possible costs when getting a 5 bedroom, 1 kitchen, sitting room with guest toilet and a small waiting area. Is it truly less costly than brick houses

It's not really as cheap as people assume. Though quick to construct but you need to pay attention to the hidden costs. One of the hidden costs of a container is the cost of transportation to your site and the cost to rent a crane to set it onto the foundation.

If the interior finishes are EXACTLY the same as what you'd get in a traditional brick and mortar build then its cost comparison of being cheaper or not will only be felt in the amount spent on the foundation, carcassing, and the roof.

To set the records straight, most people will not see it as a home to live.

Hi guys,

I need urgent help with my roofing problems. A builder suggested I used 2-inch angle steel bars to form the frame in roofing my project instead of using the normal wood.


I just want to know what the builders in the house think.

I have been reading up on it and I need more opinions.

Thanks

He's moving with trend sir. Just be sure there's no compromise on the quality of the iron used and the roof design is solid. I'll upload something cool shortly.

I've explained to people

Only LASPPPA is entitled to charge for development permit by virtue of Urban and Regional Planning and development Law 2010 Lagos State.

They came to my site, threatened hell blablabla.

I told them if they dare show up again, they'll be treated as criminals

My building is almost done, awaiting Electric fence and compound flooring.

They don't show up again

Sakara oloje ni!

davodyguy:
Will have to transfer mine to Excel.

I have an exercise book I do these recordings, from ₦1m paid for cement to ₦2000 given to Aboki and even ₦500 given as gift, provided it's tied to the project

I like people who are very detailed.

Adedward:
if it's using imported materials it gets as be boss,

The interesting part is I can use any type of material. The difference will be how I use it.

If a project is on tight-string budget, the job of a an experienced builder/contractor is to make things work and not to scare your client away.

There are few projects in my portfolio that fall into budget build category that eventually turned out great at the very end.

Pic 1 - Cheap Large Windows (The Reserve by NextHome, 2014)
Pic 2 - Cheap Tiles

The owner of this project earn as much as N3.5m per flat per annum on her building since 2015. We simply went for good enough.

For over 5 years, she gets about N12m+ from her 66m investment.

Wow! Our first construction journal on kobocity.com (wholly self built)

Here: https://www.kobocity.com/d/80/94

Today, I carried out a preliminary site survey at a site in Lagos. I am super-excited to see developers and construction pros adopting alternative building methods and solutions in the naija real estate landscape.


Fresh project looming in Jesus name. Amen You’d love every bit of this construction.

EgunMogaji2:
I've been commissioned to build a conference table for an office in Cocoa House, Ibadan.

It's going to be my usual steel frame with a wood top. I will use Mesonia for this top because of it's striking grain.

The commissioner chose the 3rd frame but I will also build the 2nd frame for sale.

PS: The interesting challenge here will be making this to be an assembled product.

Nice one.

Sir, please don’t forget to drop tithe for your congregation o.

djsjxjfjdisjdjb:
whats the budget on this?

I’m not the builder. We were just engaged to provide a service - concreting.

If however, you want something cool, we can come up with a great design that match your dream and lifestyle.

djsjxjfjdisjdjb:
is that a bungalow?

Yes it is.

bixton:
I thought they said he is still sampling old projects.............

So your project is not in 1847

New project will eventually become old one day

folmus:
@N3XT,

Thanks for handling the concrete works of my Sagamu project.

Yes. I did read and witness the turmoil of 2014-2016 that has been alluded to here. But in his " An Essay on Criticism" Alexander Pope says: To err is human, to forgive is divine."

While someone was scared by non response for 24 hours , I was emboldened by no rebuttal after N3XT eventually came out.

Let's find a way of resolving issues amicably. Abi we go throw baby and dirty water?

Baba you forgot to mention that there were issues that we didn’t envisage along the line and we handled it like mature men do and not like a slave and boss transaction.

Thanks for your business sir!

DFAMEGUY11S:
that is life , and the most worst of it is that the people that may stand to judge you is people you are better than by many ways , but they will be the first to attack as if both of you is dragging anything or as if you are having issue with them before too, what i understand is that their set of people here who is wishing to be here alone who don't want others in this forum but is not possible

Hey bro, I be Nigerian with a difference and I appreciate you and all others doing great stuffs on here. Keep up the good work.

I understand the huge risks and challenge of your business even when you try to do everything to make things go smooth and I can only give you few advice on how to avoid issues with your clients in the future.
The best we can do for ourselves is to equip each other with knowledge on how to become a better businessman. This is for those who have something to offer and not the wannabes.

I’d encourage you to up your game by working with reputable logistics company to handle your deliveries to other states.
The logistics company pays for damages if there are any issue with the product while it was being transported to your client. It’s comes at extra cost but be upfront with your client and let them make a choice.

Don’t take too much on yourself! You’re not a transporter and I’m sure you’re not equipped for it. Find reliable company to work with and make your client smile all the time.

I once paid 25k to transport a window from Lagos to Ibadan, the driver decided to load more package with the window and ended up scratching the glass. He decided to deliver it late at night when no one would see the scratch.

Buy a van if necessary to serve your repeat customers better. You’re doing well bro!


I notice what you’re doing. It matters a lot. Well done!

@Dijita

Smiles. Nairaland is such a funny community. You talk, they’ll attack you. You keep mute to have a clear understanding of what’s happening, they’ll still have something against you.

Na here we dey when I invited my junior folk who’s a police officer to help me handle a “omo onile” issue on one of my client site, the clients rep took picture and the client started sharing it on nairaland that police has arrested me.
You need evidence. I’ll present 100s within the shortest time possible including the person who took the picture; the name of the officer in the picture even his office. .
A liar (whether homeowner or landowner, diasporan or resident, local or foreigner, rich or above average) will do anything to make his/her lies look presentable.

Here’s the thing:

A userid that you don’t know and has never had any dealings with you raised an allegation against you. The first thing to do is not to offer explanation but to investigate the issue.

You need to know who is accusing you; his motivation and prepare your defense before you start talking like a parrot.

Unfortunately, on the same day the allegation was raised, n3xt and brabusng ID were banned. Nairaland ban takes 24 hours. Nairaland admins can confirm this.

So how can you deny or offer explanation on something you don’t even understand and coming from userid who you’re just e-meeting for the first time.

Now, let’s accept n3xt beat about the bush for 48 hours and take it as the right thing to attack. Do you feel good supporting someone who raised an allegation of fraud without a proof? A simple Yes or No response will suffice here.

It’s almost 2 weeks that we have been trying to substantiate a baseless accusation (a usual tradition here) and guess what it’s still the accused who get bashed for not defending himself. (the usual naija jungle justice tradition)

@Dijita Sir, may I ask for the 100th time to help us ask the accuser to explain how brabus defrauded him and present facts and not some stories.

beamNIGERIA:
When you not party to the land transaction in the first place, Its best to have a clear understanding with the client, any omo onile or family matters shall be attended to by him.

Do we really have to do a meeting over that? It’s the logical thing.

Besides, it was spelt out in black and white (the scope of the job and the roles of the parties involved).

Here’s one thing I know “When you come up with a N3m lie, you’ll either need another 3 million lies to cover it up or do character assassination.”

When you start seeing “all na packaging ” “he hijacked...” “he’s posting old projects...” You should know what to expect.

Talk wetin him do... na him be my question. How he take collect N3m from you if you’re not the fraud!

I remain Brabus and I’m here everyday!


Abeg it’s a long day... I need to relax for another exciting day tomorrow.

Na here we dey wey dem accuse brabus of N5m fraud but the person suppose come show us the evidence of N5m collected back from Brabus na.

My dad told me ”Learn to shut the door of relationship gently because you may need to use it later.”

I think we’re all guided by our moral compass.

“I’ll show him who I am.” “He’ll leave to regret ever knowing someone like me.” “You’ll rot in hell.” “I’ll collect my N10 change from that motor boy.” “I’ll snuggle life out of his business.”

Moral compass is an internalized set of values and objectives that guide a person with regard to ethical behavior and decision-making.

For a power-seeker, revenge is a way to remind others you're not to be trifled with. Hence in an uncontrolled community or state where the rule of law is weak and everyone is everything, revenge provides a way to keep order.

Beautiful design. My kind of design. At least, there is no pillar or long black roof.

However, that No.3 may likely block direct natural light from passing into the ground floor, which I presume to be the living room.

On the flip side, the house has an atrium which allows natural lighting inside the building even when all windows (dining, main lounge, kitchen, family lounge, ante room, stairwell) are closed and blinds shut.
This reduces the need for excess superficial illumination.

wesellubuy:
I want to thank @mountmoriah for delivering woods i requested for my roofing to my site yesterday even without meeting him before.

Everything was perfect from the beginning of the transaction to the end.

I bought woods from him at the rate below




2 x 2 @ N350

2 x 3 @ N450

2 x 4 @ N550

2 x 6 @ N900

3 x 4 @ N850

Thanks for the feedback. We’ll add your review to his page on kobocity.com

@mountmoriah me too go soon buy market

However, that No.3 may likely block direct natural light from passing into the ground floor, which I presume to be the living room. After the entrance door, the owner should make the whole front of the down stairs glass. The glass wall should start from where the door stops.

I understand only the 3d (pictures) but not the technical drawing.

Thanks Baba! Point well noted.

My client is right here reading everything (the good and the bad)

No. 3 is just an accent wall. We proposed to use burnt bricks there which is the signature of the estate where the proposed design will be built.

The design is mix of elements. The client is wanted us to create something that won’t make his built too distant from the estate’s prototype designs.

So on the ground floor, we have gray concrete wall, slat door, burnt brick accent wall, glass (about 5m x 2.2m) and fin (concrete wall screen) - a modern replacement for the traditional pillars.

BashyBuilds:
Oga Brabus, how are you Sir.
The building is the same, we did the finishing on it, including the Plastering and compound works, after you finished your own work.
Great work

Great!

You must be a very great finisher. The client fall into the category of those with BIG taste when it comes to finishes.

Now that I know, there are couple of stuffs we can do together.

You’d definitely know Mr Olumide (the contemporary door maker) then.

BashyBuilds:
I am so sorry people in the house dat I couldn't come on for a while it's just a little health care, nw I'm back for ur good service and encouraging to develop ur site and properties, l am back 100%.thanks
