Kudos!

Way to go!
Yeah!

We also need to start exploring precast solutions.

- Precast slab
- Precast concrete staircase
- Precast lintels/beams/columns
- Precast fences
- Precast drainages/sump/manhole
- Precast walls

Consider the huge savings people get from using precast parapet instead of the conventional in-situ parapets.

Solid construction minus the worries.

It’s not the sand that’s expensive. It’s the cost of transportation.

When we keep doing things the conventional way, we will keep achieving the same result.

NextHome Formwork Rental

In 2015, I wrote this:

Unfortunately, I decided not to share cost updates anymore. But if cost is what to go by, there's no one to beat our figures as we stand now! #fact

1. Clients don't have to buy wood. We have formwork and have established trade relationship with major businesses providing steel shutters.
2. Clients don't have to provide generator. We have dedicated generators for each project.
3. Clients don't have to build storage facility. We provide one at fraction of the cost.
4. Clients don't have to pay for pumping machine. We have them.
5. Clients don't have to pay premium on concrete jobs. We own our mixer, poker vibrator and also work with your budget.
6. Clients don't have to pay premium on materials. We own our dump truck and can conveniently afford to slash down the cost of haulage.
7. Clients don't have to buy hose, we have them in different sizes.
8. Clients don't have to pay for 3D if we designed and build your house.
9. We have also forge strategic partnership with major builder support companies abroad to deliver projects with western feel.
10. The list keeps growing.

Affordable. Superior Standard. Timely Delivery.


Browne Mews is a testimony.

I found Putzmeister SP 11 concrete pump here in Nigeria. I just messaged them. Let's see what can come out of this. http://www.okolimotors.com.ng/machines/view/putzmeister-sp-11-bbr
__________

Today, we have even far more equipment and tools of trade that has really helped us in cutting down construction cost without sacrificing quality.
__________

I am currently working on expandable construction gantry/lifting hoists for our multifloor projects.

Did anyone ever noticed there’s no stewpid mallam step non.sense on my last project.
For us, it sheer waste of fund.

I don't have any questions. The budget is just about right as expected. But I have one observation: the total cost of wood and bamboo is about 700k.

I still strongly think you Nigerian builders should invest as a matter of priority in formwork and props. Hiring a formwork panel and props for about 200 - 300k could result in 400k effeciency savings on the decking and even more with the whole project.

Formwork and decking panels are available in Alibaba. There are even second hand on ebay. I may look into importing some for resale in Nigeria. With 700k cost outlay for wood, there's is a market waiting to be tapped.
I stopped including cost of wood in my estimates since 2015.

Even my last and ongoing project, the whole formwork is on us at fraction of the cost.

The savings is huge.

Just imagine the huge saving on using steel shutters for columns production.
Within 5 days, we were able to take 3 buildings to first floor slab level without breaking bank.

______

You’d save a lot of time.
You’d save a lot of money.
You’d be able to deliver a solid structure without compromising on quality.

That young chap was the reason I was off radar for a very long time. I’m yet to find a replacement for him.

He’s always the first in and the last out on our projects.

It was indeed a sad thing.

I was just praying for God not to let anything happen to the guys on the scaffold on my build when it was put up, no safety and the thing bed and no anchor chei, I just was praying
I lost my main electrical boy Wahab to scaffold accident.

He went to work for a client who’s trying to cut corners to save time and money.

Construction risks is also something we seriously need to pay attention to. Accidents on sites can happen suddenly and unexpectedly, leading to injuries or death if there are no adequate risk protection.

Every scaffolder should have one.
Good construction project management must vigorously pursue the efficient utilization of labor, material and equipment

Most construction projects always focus on the first two and pay less attention to equipments.

I won’t mind exploring robotic bricklaying in the future. grin
