The driving force then was not monetary, but now we all want make money, the client want to maximise profit while the builders want to short change the clients on the same reason, everything now turn to Rat Race, no trust from both parties,

What happens in the case of ikoyi building collapse is synonymous to this adage You shall reap what you sow, the result affect every stakeholder to the extent of sacrificing the gifted and precious life to intentional quackery, they knew the consequence of their actions they were blindfolded by the monetary benefit.

Thanks for saying it as it is.

This is so funny coz it's this principle that was worked on and made better in Engineering classes... Stop demeaning our profession pls

I’m not demeaning any profession. I’m only stating the obvious.

We just talked about Cocoa House few weeks back. It’s still standing after many years. The same applies to NECOM building and many other solid structures built several decades ago.

There were no shortcuts back then. No copy and paste. No templates.
Today, Autocad training is less than 15k within 3 weeks. I know how long it take to produce just one drawing in the 80s.

Solid foundations were built in the time past and not all the theatrics we do these days.
People respect standards and follow building codes to the letter.

That’s why it’s very difficult to see monumental structures like the National Theatre, Iganmu and the likes. What we see today are slap and fix structures covered with cheap claddings.

What we see today are just cheap stuffs! Check the railway stations built decades ago and compare with what we’re seeing today.
I know the difference because I grew up while most of these structures were built.

Check out our institutions and see the quality of constructions happening today and compare it with what was built several years ago.

This is so true!

topsy23:
Yes you are right. Some chandelier light are not less than 450k. Client should not expect an electrician to install it at a cheaper price. Risk is involve and if anything happen Engr or technician would be ask for replacement

We’re different though and this has a lot to do with maturity.

Jasobry:
Nice work.. How much is the cost?

6,500 per sqm

michlins:
there's no competition in Nigeria. Plenty money chasing too fee goods.

The regulatory agencies are not even functioning. If you like boycott the goods,many people will start hoarding same good. When you tire, you go to the market and buy it at the new price

This morning I’m buying studs and tracks that I bought N1,500 per length 2 weeks ago. Now it’s sold 2200 - 2500 and everywhere you turn the price is the same.

It's actually not mine but then it's a bungalow, not many things can go wrong.

In my place in Egba land, its very rare to see people do structural drawings for bungalows. Baba lati all the way

Very true.

.... and houses are not falling like mangoes in my home town.

My grandpa’s house (late Balogun of Egbaland) in Isale Igbein built with plank in 1929 is still standing till date.

_________
The collapsed Ikoyi building had structural drawings, QS bill of quantities, CofO, Building Plan Approval, green sticker, beautiful 3D renderings and none of these could prevent the irreparable loss.

Yahoo professionals everywhere for naija.

All of a sudden we got into the season of denial and shifting blames.

I love to hear this, as discussed in quality and quotiety prompt delivery. No lasman stop me on road, No truck no start after payment. Many many of us are watching every happening here per second. I knew people that never make any comment here in the last 4 years and doing business behind the seen. People should be very careful handling their business

In an environment where trust-based leadership is present, everyone (suppliers/tradespeople/artisans/masons) will experience high level of job autonomy and low levels of unnecessary control.

Autonomy in this regards means there’s total independence and discretion to schedule work, make decisions, and choose the methods used to perform tasks.

I focus more on the latter than the former and also help them achieve good success by providing necessary support where necessary. I don’t meddle or interfere in other people’s affairs.
When business leaders become too fixated on micromanaging workmen/tradespeople, we make reactionary decisions which automatically put them in defensive posture.

Of course this comes with predictable outcomes which includes but not limited to decline of trust, cooperation and innovation.

If you don’t trust them, don’t deal!

@micgray100 shey make I turn up this weekend?

This is how business should be done drama free. POD is the best way to go thisdays, picture of delivery if you don't mind

I’m yet to see the goods. Even my supplier is yet to see his payment and everyone is cool.
The same guy is also doing 800sqm + roofing tiles for me this weekend. That one won’t be POD though.

POD works for those who do not entertain dramas.

I recently did 50 tons of iron rod POD. In fact 80% of my nairaland purchases are POD except when I’m dealing with the ambeoloruns (starters who do not have resource).

_______

@blessedsunny2 how about POD for my little purchase. That’s one way to build trust and guarantee repeat business.

hslbroker2:
Baba na grace we dey enjoy ooo

We still have strength to work now and retire early, not when our bones are weak.

Thanks for always engaging us God bless you sir.

More blessing unto you now and forever sir

Amen.

How much is black shingles? Without patches. I’d be needing some qty this weekend.

Blessedsunny2:

Size:15by57
1.15
13 pic
15,000 per square meters

Has the price gone down?

Pls chat me up. I’ll need few qty today.
Thanks.

hslbroker2:
POD for you anytime baba

Thanks for prompt delivery. You did well.

diordaves:
There is enough sand on the land? It means your site location is either a desert or a riverside. This is not a good thing regarding cost as you seem to sound. Any land with enough sand as you said needs a specialist foundation which will be very costly. Please seek professional advice first and leave your dad out of it for now.

Na building collapse dey reign now for South West. Inappropriate foundation or badly designed foundation to suit soil type is one major issue being overlooked. It is not always materials used or corrupt officials. Foundation design and execution is key.

Succinctly put.

KolaShangOne:
Is this by 18ft or normal 12ft?

Normal 12ft. I just weak

shortgun:
It's always a good practice to have 2 or more skimmers for proper filtration, however if 1 is used, it should be positioned in the centre of the wall of the deep end of the pool and have minimum of 2 return nozzles directed to it.

Thanks once again. Message passed across to the client.

shortgun:
The filtration system of this pool is not properly done. if it's possible make corrections now cos it will cause problems later.

Thanks for the feedback. Is there anything in particular to look into here? I’d inform the client to call the attention of the swimming pool contractor to it.
