Hello all,just found myself in this thread.
Just to let you know my company produce the best tile adhesive in Nigeria.
We have been in business long before lafarge introduced their.
Topfix super and Nitotile gp are the tile adhesives we produce.

dam4sam:
Please go and sit down, l have been doing stuffs like these when you were still in Pyjamas and that is not a slight.
I am not interested in all these forming over the internet, packaging and smooth talk.
802.11b standard for wireless internet has been abandoned since 2006 or thereabout.
Even wireless 'n' standard is more than ten years old. You need to get current and discuss recent innovations in wireless standards.
Anyway, each man to his own, l am not here to prove anything to anybody.

As we say, @NotABibeli.

The above link should settle this argument... wired poe camera any day....

Unless if it’s a building you can’t run wire...

If you doing one or two camera wireless is good but anything above 4 kindly go for wired cameras...

Astronaut BrabusNG,
I am sure you have built everything in this world, beccause you always say this my buld,, that my build, no matter what is being discussed, Wetin?
I hope you put three Floors on that your Foundation without Pillars, then show us the picture (not internet Packagings), so we can learn from you

___________________________

Best Industry Practice is to put Pillars in Houses, for improved stability.

dam4sam:
Did you have to run run the Power Cable alongside the Cat6 Data Cable?
What about Voltage drop along the length, if it is more than 300ft between power source and Camera, how did you resolve that?
l love good stress too, especially if it involves Cans of Trophy.

dam4sam:
Astronaut BrabusNG, l think you are just being sarcastic because l dont know what to say to you but your argument sounds like someone who says because Vehicles kill people, he has decided to be trekking from Sagamu to Lagos and back, everyday. I am sure you still use a Nokia 3310, because it is a strong phone.

Apart from the effort required, the cost of tools required, the time required(which is money, if you are engaging labour), the exposure of wired Camera to the risk of tampering (Criminals first target is to cut the Data Signal CAT 6 Cable to the Camera and your Camera becomes a decoration), Portability or the ease of moving your Camera from point to point, is also a great advantage of Wireless Camera.

There are also multiple points of failure in a Wired Camera, especially around the RJ45 Crimp point, Heat can also deform the Cable over time, breakage is possible over time, etc.
All these are avoidable with Wireless Camera and with robust Security techniques, your signals are encrypted end to end so that snoopers can curse their bad luck.
Since your Smart Phones use Bluetooth, Wifi and other wireless technologies and they are safe enough for you to use it, why would you think a wireless Camera is less Safe?

KelvinCoaster:
n3xt happy new year! Pls i need your estimates:

Location: Just give me the prices within your location!

God bless!!

kopell:
Haba why now, Amateurs do wireless pros do wired network?
I’m surprise to hear Egun used 3 cans or big bottle of
Trophy for installation of just one camera, Egun no supposed to be drinking on duty. Kai no good �

dam4sam:
Meaning you had to run and terminate Cables with a Crimping Tool?
Would you not have preferred to use Wireless Cameras that connects straight to your Router and you can view it from anywhere on your Phone?
Saves in effort, Cost of Cables and you can move it around the house easily.

dam4sam:
No matter what you are building, always introduce Pillars, at least at the edges and tie them with the Lintel.
You never can say what will be building next to you in future, or maybe a natural Earth Tremor/Vibration or even blasting for road construction or Mining, Pillars will help keep your building standing.
Please use Pillars, the extra Cost will give you Peace of Mind.

And Yes, Ventilation is Poor, in most areas. Kitchen, Dinning, Living Room, etc

dam4sam:
Your question needs some more specifics, to get good and reliable response.

For example:
What is the Tonnage of Granite quoted for 95K? Same thing with Sharp Sand?
- Ask a User her called @Chekitaut or read his previous post on this thread, for Cost of Granite and Sand
- What is the tonnage or Tipper size of Granite he is quoting for #95K?
What is the type of Soil you are building on, (Swampy, Loamy/Soft, Valley, Hard Ground) to justify 35 Trips of Filling?

- Are you using Laterite to Fill or Sharp Sand? (Sharp Sand is better in a Wet area/ground) and what tonnage is he quoting for that Price?
- If you are buying as much as 150Bags of Cement, why cant you Order it directly from the Manufacturers like Dangote, you will get it at around #2,800 plus or minus. That Price of #3,300 is December Price.

- For Planks, talk to @MountMoriah guy on this thread, he will supply you and you can pay on delivery.
- What is the size of your Foundation (How many Boards, what is the dimension, can you share your Floor Plan or measure it yourself and state it here?), to get a better idea
- Packing of Filling can be negotiated down to #4,000 per Trip since they are packing many Trips
- Which is Hoes again? Are you Cultivating Cassava or Building a Foundation? I cant figure that one out, just cancel it

- What is the “machine” for and what Machine is he referring to?
If it is a Ramming machine, then you need to cut down on the Price of Rammer, moreover, it does not cost #50K to rent one Rammer in a day.
Budget 25K for manual Ramming and same for using a Ramming machine but allow time for the Soil to settle properly before doing the German Floor, Wet it very well.
- Labour Cost of Casting will depend largely on the Size of your Foundation though an average Price of 120K -+ max should do (looking at Ten Carriers, One Ewe, One Engine Operator, etc)
- Carpenter should be negotiated down to #30K Max, it cant be more than 2days work naah?

My advice, talk to QSFemi, he is a reliable and he will save you a lot of Money, when it comes to budgeting for your Build

Overall, you need to state your specific location because Labour and Material prices are also affected by Location.

Dont be discouraged.

If you pitch a good performer (someone who have spent 100 years in the developed world; someone who schooled in the best institutions of this world; the geniuses of this world) against a bad system (Nigeria Civil Service as an example... pun intended ), the system will WIN almost every time. ~ Brabus

Badgers14:
What a sad experience....

Is there any website, or office where someone could get a legitimate information regarding real estate before taking a leap??

It is sad that most of these "office people " in government do collaborate with bad guys to do this evil. Just wondering if there are still decent avenue for someone to source information before getting involved in a real estate transaction in Lagos.

In the west, it's all there in the county/council assessor/recorders office.

Who did this to us in Nigeria, Africa, government officials always backwards, gearing to cheat and deceive the people. No wonder so many people aren't proud to be Nigerians or African.

The world richest man Elon Musk is African but he never claims to be ( I have never heard him mention he is African ) and the press never addresses him as African or mention his African background, I wouldn't imagine he would be excited and be bouncing off the ceiling if he is addressed as African - he might buy the news outlet and shut down their operations.

Thanks, and thier blinds are high quality ?

@ n3xt, you requested for this sometimes ago.

Recently terminated Distribution boards in our on-going project

Where do you source quality window blinds from

omanzo02:
My engineer also advice me against precast, it's cheaper and lighter than semi cast or permanent cast, like spyder880 once said precast has pros & cons and a good specialist should be consulted for that job.

kopell:
May be this is your first experience, many of those real estates companies advertising are the biggest scammer in the system. Have you ever heard of cross high jack of land? What it means is, high jacking land that are in process of perfecting their document, some of those company will collaborate with high level criminals in government office. To corner it to their own advantage in the fastest manner ever which is called governor consent. Its called double dip title, that's where the litigation battles beings.

We will achieve more if we focus on vision rather than competition. ~ Brabus

MRFIXER001:
As an engineer, no matter how strong and special a block is, it can't serve the purpose of a column (pillar). Column have both tensile and compressive strength while block has just compressive strength. Apart from transferring the load of the building to the foundation, a strong concrete column (pillar) prevent the movement of building cracks at the joint of the building. I will strongly advise you to use column where necessary,

nannymcphee:
Here I was thinking the plan was super

my main concern was addition of pillars just decided to ask for criticisms of the plan, expecting that minimal corrections will be done.

I will be very grateful if you can help with a better layout. I plan to start development soon. Borehole was just completed.

nannymcphee:
Thanks, can the cross ventilation be implemented now without changing much of the plans.

As for pillars, Its a common thing amongst layfolks not to use pillars for bungalow, I am more concerned with with future maintenance, currently have an old family house, we couldn't change from louvers to Sliding glass due the absence of lintel over that point. Please if I am to introduce pillars, can you mark out where they should be? what size of rods should I be looking at?

Happy new year to the house!!

I decided to suspend my 3bedroom(I earlier brought the plan here for criticisms) and start with the 2bedroom bungalow/1bedroom BQ, attached is the floor plan and the type of roof I plan to do.

The ground is a solid one and since I dont intend to do a high pitched roof or parapet, do I need to introduce pillars?

Any criticism of the floor plan

QSFemi:
Do you have the drawings?

godquality:
Thanks for the correction. by carcass, i assume you meant the frame for the parapet? If yes, then this is being done as we speak and should be ready early next week.

Roof carcass means the roofing woodwork. The wood you’re installing the aluminum sheet on.

So i guess i will be asking the roof guy what he is basing his estimate on.

He has only given you a guesstimate. The qty of roofing sheet materials needed can only be determined after you’ve done your woodwork. No builder or roofer has c-ray vision to know what’ll be required without the carcass.

The "flat sheet" i assume will be used to cover up the edges of the roof right (for lack of a better word). any idea what this cost?
Budget same amount sir. The difference is very insignificant (to me)

bayo2018:
Please help look into this Bosses
Seems this person wan rip my little capital

godquality:
I received the below estimate to roof my building and would like to get the opinion of the experts in the house.

Aluminium roofing sheet 550mtr
Flat sheet 68 MTR
Accessories for #30k

My questions are;
What's the average price of the 0.42 and 0.55mm roofing sheets?
And is 68mtr length of flat sheet price the same as that of the roofing sheets?
Lastly what do you think about the accessories price of 30k given to me fair or not?

Am still waiting for the carpenter to provide me the estimate for the materials needed for the wooden part so might be updating this later with more questions.
