It will come down with time, as an engineer have come to realize that the price of building materials increases during the ending of the year. This is so because more people tends to build during that time, the demand placed on it is always high. Contact the nearest depot in your state, you will buy it at cheaper price. Like #2800/bag

He should tell them he got the order from MRFIXER001 right? If this works, I need the trick too o

Cement is produced right behind my house - just about 1km away - and we still buy #3,000

Thanks boss
No I don’t have them

This is something you should consider bro.
No Nigerian ISP can guarantee 99.999% uptime so we always need a backup.

PoE + Failover Modem (2 or 3 ISPs in one modem) = Redundant Network

My years of experience in this field has taught me to always eliminate points of failure.

You can consider Pepwave MAX On-The-Go 4 WAN. There are other solutions from Huawei and the likes.

Well done sir! You’re doing well.

compliments of the season to everyone.
A lot of people do ask questions concerning changing a building already with an aluminium parapet to polystyrene parapet and we do tell them is possible.
I will be sharing some pictures of a recent conversion recently done for a client from this forum.

Picture 01 and 02 are the initial building wit the aluminium parapet covering.
Picture 03: The building with aluminum parapet removed from it. (Note: The removal was done by the client, we only advise the client's roofers( carpenter) on what to do and the distance that will be left for roof eaves
Picture 04: The building after the aluminium covering was removed.

Good job! Can you share this on kobocity.com? We have a good number of self builders who might be interested in your product/service.

Regards!

Use window blind please. That traditional curtain causes heat and it takes too much space.
Don’t paint the wall. Use self adhesive PE foam panels.

Hello guys.

Need some advices on this 2 questions.

1. Window blinds or traditional curtains, pls which one is better ?

2. Is it necessary to paint the wall if you are still planning to install wallpaper?

Blinds are better. Traditional window curtains have been with us for ages, blinds are just enjoying initial phase of attraction.

Blinds are modern and offers a lot of freedom. Curtains are extremely boring.
You can also try curtain+blind. Read more on kobocity.com

2. You don’t need to paint the wall but you need to make surface smooth and ready for installation of the wallpaper.

Bag of cement now been sold at N3150 To N3200 in some part of Abeokuta. Something that i bought N3300 late last year. I think the price will come down soon

They're selling at 3100 everywhere right now. Price may not likely go back to old price. We may be looking at 2900 - 2950

Enyinne:
Amen . Roofing is another tough area . The money involved is like that of foundation. So finding a way to reduce cost is key as per kobo kobo project .

You’re very correct!

We are working with reputable suppliers to make life easier for our self builders.

Smart ones are already taking advantage of the big opportunity!

I would like to give feedback on my transaction with mountmoriah regarding the woods i bought from him yesterday. I saw his post here on nairaland that he is into wood business, lo and behold his post came at the right time that i needed to make a final decision on who to supply me my decking woods. I contacted him via whatsapp and he responded within a seconds and we finalised the deal within 30 miunutes. I linked him with my Engr. for further discussions and both agreed to go on with supply within 5 minutes. Mountmoriah supplied my Engr with 1by12(600 pieces) and 2by3(300 pieces) the following day, the woods are very good and very complete. Mountmoriah has been one of the best supplier (if not best) in term of responds to customers and sticking to agreement. Please kindly patronize him for your wood supply

And he made our verified suppliers list! Congrats @mountmoriah

@Thenext Thanks for the feedback!!

Stevo30:
What is the type of foundation called? I have seen some pre-independence buildings with this type of foundation. Most building in the former 2 division army Barack in Agodi, Ibadan has this type of foundation. Infact children use to play under it. Why is it not favoured by builders now?

It’s not the builders job to determine the foundation type nor the owner’s decision. The decision is beyond both.


We did this sometimes ago

30tons Howo truck is what we need

I know someone who have one 30 tons Howo Truck (for sale) but he’s currently looking for 100 trucks to hire.

sinorte:
Thank you. I'll reach out to him.

You will? Or you have? He told me he's in talk with someone already. Well, I've told him to wow you or whoever called him

That's all I can tell you!

earthrealm:
Whats there to maintain?

There's lot. May God give me the energy and the appetite to share something on this topic. I've done a lot of these type of roof including a recent one which has a roof top garden. The client saw the design in Madrid and asked me to replicate it so we use EPDM rubber membrane due to its excellent resistance to environmental factors.

Make una ask this question on kobocity.com na

I did a project here few years ago, we started working on the roof right from the foundation.

That's the big difference!

uncleteeh:
Well, I don't prefer this so called contemporary roofing styles, especially where there are parapet walls, our maintenance culture is so bitter in this country. Our climatic condition isn't very favourable for most building materials.
Besides, I hate to see the structures I design looking pale after few years.

For example, try visit Dugbe in Ibadan, there's a particular structure there that is looking so bad due to the introduction of parapet walls.

Note: parapet walls are walls that extent beyond the roofing sheet.

Let's do this in the other room! kobocity.com

I'm for hidden flat roofs. It's such a big deal and it reveals the true creativity in an architect. Any jack can design pitched roofs, only creative minds can bring out the best in flat roofs.
