Goodmorning everyone. I am a newbie in this section and would want to seek clarification on this issue.

My family is building a story building of four flats of 3 bedrooms each. We are at the decking stage now. However, t[b]he supervisor handling it is advising us to use 10mm steel rods for this decking as this steel rod is stronger than 12mm rod and can carry the weight comfortably[/b]. This is different from what I know with my little building knowledge.
So I decided to come here to seek expert opinion on this.

Thankyou for expected comments as I know I d definitely get the best advice here.

I hope every Nigerian is witnessing this. When our boys begin attack in Lagos now afonja go begin shout that ngbanti Yoruba. Make dem call these yoruba boys to order o. We give authority and Chaiman Mushin LG 24hrs to cease the nonsense and apologize or we shall be forced into self-defense mode. Wetin we do una? What is the cause for hoodlums to enter place of business and begin shoot at traders? What and where is justification?

Im waiting to hear from Ohanaeze.

AsiwajuNdigbo:
Get lost! Situation is under control and people on ground have reported they are on top of it.

You people are wicked. You secretly nurse evilness and wish the situation would turn to chaos and Igbos will be gunned down in Lafipo. Shame on you it didnt happen.

The hoodlums came for their sponsors, the military that sent them out recently to invade and attack protesters. Karma is tailing Army now. Focus on that and get off Igbo talk.

This attack was against Army boys spotted in the area. My people and Ypruba get along fine. We are brothers. Get lost!

AsiwajuNdigbo:
Dont annoy me o.
Dont mention me again. Dont quote my post.

Emmerlee:
Grade A ode, the silly comment of one idiot has become the comment of tens of millions of Igbos

This is how you people glorify compound stupidity on this faceless forum and call it intelligence.

AsiwajuNdigbo:
Did you not see where I said Get lost? Twice. Dont mention me again.
Get lost!

AsiwajuNdigbo:
Get lost!

Is there any reason arewa cow shitsare still massaging this thread?

The situation is under control. Go and herd your cow.

You can see how you have constituted yourself into nuisance?
Always doing gra-gra and playing the Victim!
Everybody is against us shyte
Its is nuisance like you that give the Igbos a bad name and stir hatred towards them.
Anuofia

They should fight back and resist the attempts by Afonjas to forcefully collect their shops

I Dont Know Of Her Being A Jezebel but All I Know Is That, The Biggest Mistake Russia, China and America Can Make Is To Put A Woman In Position Of World Power because women can be unreasonably emotional or sentimental, power should never be in such hands because power can be deadly in the hands of emotional people

I Dont See Biden ruling but Kamala because From Things So Far Biden looks Like A Simp...

When You Need To Control A Man Use A Woman...


What I See Is Biden doing Kamala's Will.



Carry On America...


Life Indeed No Balance, America Has Dump People With Great Leaders, Nigeria Has Intelligent People With Dumb Leaders.


Twisted reality is Basically The Balance Of It

Fire Service Institution in Nigeria is a sham..

They are hardly quick to fire incidents even when reached...
I hope this Ajumobi's outfit is insured .....so many shop owners and traders don't know they can insure their shop + goods with very little efforts with the right insurance firm and get reinstated in an advent of loss of Business property to fire outbreak!!!

Proactivity Leads To Productivity!

Are you talking about Nigerian Insurance Companies or Foreign ones?
They will keep collecting premiums but When it is time to pay a Claim, that is when Nigerian Insurance Company will remind you that RIOT and LOOTING are not covered, that they are "Acts of God".
No payment. Bunch of Cheats

Based on my experience, a filter is a required item.

Get the black cartridge because it has charcoal in it.

I change mine monthly and I always cut it open to inspect it.

Muyi002:
Sir Kay,

The 8million is inclusive of the cost of land and other pre-building expenses. Too much or normal or small

As regards the number of cement, it's only a projection for me in worst case scenario. See attached my proposed actual materials to be utilised on site

Muyi002:
This is my kobo kobo project o. Thanks to all who have given me advice to have reach this point.

Plastering on going but on a bit by bit bases subject to availability of funds.

Focusmind:
Oga, were these blocks laid by a Nigerian bricklayer?You sure knows how to get the best out of these crafts men assuming if this blocks were set by a Nigerian mason. Neat and beautiful.

For those of us that likes cottage and antiques building, no need plastering the exterior. Just plaster the interior and mount your gigantic french windows.

My former school in Scotland has lots of buildings with exposed blocks that were well laid without plastering like this one

What if he was part of a collective of professionals that include referring architects?

Generally, a ten tire truck carries twenty ton material allegedly.

Until someone comes up with a mobile truck scale then we’re just relying on hope.

One of my favorite suppliers runs a DAF twenty ten wheel truck. When I ordered thirty ton granite from him he said he can only load twenty five ton maximum.

I wish you had more trust in your engineer maybe find a qualified one that you can also trust. We’ve read all sorts of things on here in the past. Allegations of people parking vans by the site to remove materials at night, inflated invoices loaded with kickbacks, collusion with rogue family members, etc

Only God can “safe” us homeowners

QSFemi:
A research finding shows that engaging a Quantity Surveyor in a construction project leads to a 25% reduction in the cost of construction.

Do not just engage a quantity surveyor to prepare estimated cost of construction (Bill of Quantities or schedule of materials and labour) for you, engage the QS during the construction stage as a client or a contractor.

Here's why;

So many decisions that were made during the estimating stage (arriving at a construction cost) get altered, modified or replaced during the construction stage. This alteration, modification or replacement could either lead to a downward or upward cost. It hardly stays the same.

So, engaging a QS during pre-construction and post-construction helps to fairly assess these changes.

A quantity surveyor is everybody's friend.

This is a discuss boss. Not fighting.

I feel your submission is a bit harsh. And it's been directed to Hajj M.

You have mentioned him in earlier posts because he recommended Dennis and things went south.

Recommendations is based on previous conduct. That's why even if someone comes recommended, you still have to do your due diligence.

Even if things go south, finding a solution / middle ground is the next step, not blaming the person that gave recommendation.

We all know how even technicians/contractors/humans that did good today, can fvck up tomorrow.

I have been on this forum for years and What we don't GIVE CREDIT ENOUGH FOR, IS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAJJ HAS HELPED AND SAVED WITH HIS RECOMMENDATIONS.

Im a builder here, And No, I'm not kissing arse or currying favour from Hajj because He and I haven't talked and jobs for years.

Atiku was once the biggest victim of IPOB support until Trump dethroned him.

Meanwhile


Dear IPOB, Don't Panic!

As we have all seen, the kind of damage the Antichrist, sleepy Joe is doing to our Messiah at the polls can only be likened to Mike Tyson's Knockout victory against Larry Holmes, Germany's 7-1 thrashing of Brazil in 2014, or Israel's miraculous victory against 6 Arab states within 6 days of war. It is only a matter of time before the old, demented Joe is officially announced as the winner of the US-20 elections.

That said, there has been rising concerns among our members on the fate of the top-secret pact between Donald Trump and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, our leader on the actualization of the Republic of Biafra. With regards to this, I want to assure all members of the Indigenous Peoples Republic Of Biafra that even if our prayers for a miracle or a supreme court victory fail to be answered, Donald Trump shall remain president until the 20th of January, 2021.

That should be enough time for President Trump to honor his side of the bargain and hopefully, arrest and expose Jubril El-Sudani after freeing us from this oppressive bondage.

Long Live Biafra!!

Long live Donald Trump!

I see, so the above is responsible for the fascination with Donald Trump?
What A DELUSION
Unfortunately. Trump does not care about your existence or about anyone, EXCEPT HIMSELF.

Very funny country

First, it was the soldiers who denied involvement in the lekki shooting. They even went as far as going to Twitter to label it Fake News. Later when the pressure was too much, they began confessing that Lagos State Government sent them meanwhile the same Lagos state Government who sent the Soldiers to Lekki also denied knowing anything claiming it was powers beyond their control while those in Abuja said they were hoodlums disguised in military uniform.

LCC too who initially claimed they had a clear footage of all the happenings at Lekki toll that night came out to say their camera stopped working at 8pm because Ikoyi toll that got burnt that same night. How on earth is that ? Lies

The lady that was arrested by immigration and had her name on the no-fly list. Immigration officials initially denied the arrest. Later they admitted and have now lied again that the arrest had nothing to do with the endsars protests meanwhile they have a long list of people involved in the endsars protests included on that no-fly list.

Now CBN officials have totally denied blocking peoples accounts involved in the protests. They said the public should disregard it that it is fake news. They said they don't know anything about it. However some smart dudes have gone ahead to sniff out the truth showing it was the CBN Governor who indeed got a court order to block the accounts for whatever reasons known to him.

The question is why do all these Government officials lie? They will stab you at the back and claim they know nothing about it that Infact they were never at the scene and its the handiwork of their opposition who are bent on dragging them down.

The mother of them all. They want to start regulating social media after Liar Mohammed denied involvement in the hate speech bill meanwhile he was the one who actually sponsored the bill. What a country!!!

There is a high likelihood that the CBN will link the account closure to terrorist financing. Yes. For this kind of case to be won, people involved need very sound and very senior lawyers like a "SAN" to rep them. CBN has some new anti terrorism financing acts/laws which alot of people are not aware of.

Owners of the account need to be able to proof they know the source of every kobo that entered their account including those who sent the monies during the said time frame which I doubt they will be able to do. Most of the monies came in from random and good spirited people while some may have ulterior motives tho.

CBN anti terrorism act doesn't permit using your personal account to fund protest of any kind whether peaceful or violent in Nigeria. There are a lot of hidden rules alot of people don't know.

Bottom line, those guys need a very very very sound lawyer to win that case.

And for this generation, we need to be way more smarter. Bitcoin and smart wallets are the way to go. When posting things online. Start adopting the use of private VPN that can't be easily traced. Do not use your real name or email in public. To capture public events of this nature, make use of drones. Don't store video that can implicate you on your phone. Save all your files in the cloud and ensure its very secured and untraceable at least in this country. #BESMARTER
