Just do the maths!

Regardless of how crazy the inflation gets, there’s no way anyone would spend 30m to finish 1 unit of one bed apartment and don’t forget there’ll still be about N20m profit per unit.
I don’t know what feature will make a 1 bed apartment attract such huge price tag though!

Life is bigger than coming online to complain about life not being fair.

Always go to the last mile. It’s rarely crowded!

The best hedge against inflation in this time is good investment in real estate (commercial properties). I mean multifloor projects and shared apartments

Property price tend to increase with general material price level.

Case Stufy

A block of flat used to sell for N30m before we commence my ongoing project about a year ago. Right now, it sells between N45m and N50m.

The more apartments, the merrier.

However the inflation is not going to look good on those doing small builds and it might make more people to abandon their projects

Boss that's what we are facing presently. Even NEPA bills have increased, power supply is bad. We are experiencing flood in some areas in the country now, what we normally heard then when we have poor power supply was that Kainji hydro power had low water level to generate good amount of megawatts for the country... It was when I served in Jebba generating Station everything cleared to me. We lack maintenance in this country. Kainji has 8 turbine to generate at least 1000MW BUT only 3 are working then. They only generate 4
Less than 500MW why Jebba hydro power station was generating 620MW.

Location! Location!! Location!!

Light has not gone for up to 10 mins in the current location I’m working and I’ve been on the project the last 7 months.

Whatever Kanji is generating does not really matter, there are people enjoying premium power supply in Nigeria and it makes me feel like Nigeria is not as bad as we think it is if money dey and you’re getting value for your money.

Nigeria’s problem is systemic and until we flip those archaic systems of managing our infrastructure and addressing our shared social issues, we won’t see a significant improvement in any of key sectors of the economy.

There’s a dam in the south west built in 1982 . It is the 3rd largest gorge dam in the world and year in year out, successive governments have not been able to make the dam work. The only thing they do there now is fishing!

The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook.

bolu1986:
lol hope say your mouth no kill you one day!!

U think say we forget how you steal materials from maverick site!? Came with van at the middle of the night…

And you don’t know a police station to go and report theft??

How about me and you meeting at a station so that we can solve this?

Maverick that rent marine boards from me on his project. Abi dem no tell you that one??


========

Pics:

See the boards in the attached, they’re being moved from Atilantic View Estate to the project.

I moved other boards there from Akoka and some from 3strikes site.
Contrary to the stories you hear, all of them rent my boards then😀😃.

=========

I already invested a lot in those constructions tools, equipment and reusable formworks then. 🌚

The only thing that keep me going is my large heart.

I don’t repay people back in their own coin.

I let God give it unto everyone according to their wishes for other people.

sonnie10:
Bosun, na only me never chop from your hands here. Remember your boy too!

Shey you dey whyne jesus?? 🤣🤣

I’ can’t count the number of projects I push to other people silently on this forum but then because one person with an entitled mind missed an opportunity, I’m a fake person because of it. 😀😀

On top say make we help each other

Is there anyone here who can point out that brabus/n3xt or Bosun asked him/her kickback on any project??

I can’t count the number of people I sponsor to go and carry out survey on clients projects here.

It’s well!



========

N23m in 2016 for a bungalow no be small thing o and I’m happy to give it out without asking for anything.


Now one person who want to do less than N2m gate and tank stand is making noise.

Michilins, I’m waiting for your fake project bro.

This explains the reason I will never delete any of my posts here. Neither will I rush to deactivate any of my account.

Truth will always trump lies!!!

Ibadan Project by NextHome

Abeg make una no vex too much!


Come up with another one

michlins:
trying to twist the narrative?

You told me to bid for a job you already abandoned eleven years ago. I later turned down the job myself and you said that I have entitlement mindset?

Same me that told you that I can not do the job is suddenly entitled?

Please eh, use your lies more effectively to people who will actually give you money

This is a job of 11 years ago

Do you have pictures to back your claims? I know a desperado when I see one.

I’ll send you more pictures of the build and the link to the August 2020 project

In fact, I wanted Kolashangone to build the house but the owner insisted I do it. Kola has visited the site and submitted his bid if im not mistaken.

Call out your own references 😀😀

Nairaland desperate minds

Oya so pe otilo 😀😀

I love this in mat and not the shine shine bobo type.

Just as ordered.

michlins:
you called yourself a fraudster

You abandoned a job eleven years ago and three years ago, you asked me to bid for the same project as something you're doing with same set of pictures.

Be reminded that I was the one who turned down the job myself

If it’s this gate you’re talking about, it has been done and I’m not sorry you didn’t get the job from me.

So call me anything you like, it only tell a lot more about you and your likes with entitlement mentality.

Regards!

michlins:
how can a project you abandoned eleven years ago be the same project you asked me to submit a quotation for three years ago?

You seek engagement and actions but this is Monday morning and everyone who has something to do is already there.

Enough said!!!

You’re doing too much to paint black blue.

Where were you 11 years ago??

The tank in ile oluji was done by the same guy who did my Ibadan project which you bid for.

It remains one of the cleanest bolted steel structure you’d find around here. 😃
It’s not the usual welding stuff that’s so common.

I have a great team trained by me working for me but then We might just want to try out other people.

michlins:
how can a project you abandoned eleven years ago be the same project you asked me to submit a quotation for three years ago?

Enough said!!!

Ohhh!!! My Ibadan project wasn’t fake.

The distance ruled you out!

I’ll share pictures of the gates every from the Welders shop till installation for you.

I’m not under any obligation to give you the job bro. Is this the reason you think I’m a fraudster 😂😂

michlins:
you know you shouldn't do this but since you did, here's the quotation I submitted to you and your chats.

And you assume this is fake 😂😂

Just wait!

michlins:
two years ago when I came here,he asked me to submit quotation for this job that it's a new project he's handling. Did quotation and was even ready to move workers to site. It was much later I realized that this was fake.


He's perfected his skills and I give him that

Pleas mention the particular project and the location.

T’s good to debunk fake!

Quite exact date and time, I’m very good at journaling.

Here’s the interesting position of the police:

You can say someone defrauded you if you paid him to build a house in Ondo state and we found the house in Abeokuta but if you paid him to build a house for you in Ondo state and we found the house in Ondo, that’s not fraud!

You can’t say someone defrauded you because he delivered 18 windows out of 21 windows. Remember he’s dealing with subcontractors here.

So we can only ask him when will the windows be ready!

bolu1986:
You don start… one if your uncompleted project! You just making mockery of your past clients! They have moved on you should do the same

What else do you need to complete on the project if I may ask?

Abi the structure I shared was in that location before NextHome was engaged?

When the chick finally comes home to roast, everyone resorts to answer his father’s name.

Conflict is good when it’s healthy. It allows room for mutual respect and it produce better outcome.

Conflict is childish when you’re hell bent on drawing blood - one person must die 😂

Clement in Ile Oluniyi, Ondo state 😂

More to come.

Any other thing is Baba Lati’s invention

Smiles.

Baba lati still dey reign

It’s nice engaging you. I miss my elder brother from Ibadan.

Through me, Clement is a proud house owner in Cotonou 💯

Go and Verify!

Wow! This project will be exactly 11 years tomorrow.

https://www.nairaland.com/1089928/paper-brick-journal-construction-activities/1#13077322

Let me use the opportunity to appreciate my lead carpenter, Clement for dedication and commitment to service.

Dem talk day we no dey pay our workers but our we are proud to showcase the same worker even a decade after 💯

I know many who silently engage them on many projects here but are unable to showcase them because everyone will know they’re using brabus workers 😂😂

Laughable!

I’m happy to be a part of their success and they’re happy that to choose me as a boss and leader 😂😂

sonnie10:
The only meaning of precast I know is that the concrete slab ( various shapes and sizes) was poured and allowed to form and hardened elsewhere, other than the intend main structure where it would be used. The opposite of precast is in-situ, a Latin word for in position. Done in the position where it is intended stay.
Precast does not mean substandard slab made without rods.
If done well, all precast must be prestressed. It does not matter whether it would be used for bridge. Parapet, soak away cover, lintel etc.
The prestressed factor of a precast concrete is just to determined if it would withstand the intended load/pressure.

What you know and understand precast to be does not necessarily translate to what other people understand it to mean.

You must have heard of precast parapets which are usual done without reinforcements or with less reinforcement.

Greetings and Happy New Week

sonnie10:
Precast must be prestressed before they are even certified for use ( You can’t divorce the two)
If you have seen how the precast slabs are transportation, you would know that any shady material can’t withstand such stress.

He specifically argued that prestressed concrete elements are different from the regular precast concrete element we see around daily.

If you do a search for precast on Nairaland, the search result won’t bring you image of concrete elements like what you shared.

rotecch77:
The prestressed concrete is diff to regular precast conc as you mean sir…. Post- tension and Pre-tension method with what we called TENDON is the way here
I will explained how it’s been done soon when much less busy

💯

rotecch77:
Your eyes are working ok bro ..it’s more shaa..
According to books and how I was trained each lap ends of lintel should be 225mm not up to 1ft but in most cases at site we do about 400mm here.
More so lintel are not structural member and solid materials can be used as lintel “ just to cover the void area”

I.e metal, special plastic, hard wood etc

What we need to take note of here is that in most cases these guys use prestressed concrete lintels (lightweight and even with hollow core in some cases) and the quality of their blocks aren’t the same with ours.

They build with quality load bearing blocks or bricks.
