That’s why locally made doors are trending in the contemporary space.

You can get 100 years cedar if you meet professional door makers. I know a few in Banana Island

How much is this door?

You are wrong, no concrete poured inside is just hollow blocks you can see the blocks in the image below

Edit: i personally took those pictures

The compressive strength of such blocks must be high enough to support the load on it.

I found something close to the door below in Swisstrade, Ikota at N2,000,000 in 2014.

Good doors cost fortune.

I have smoke detectors at the entrances to each room, in the hallway and a Carbon Dioxide detector near the kitchen.

I don’t have an automatic suppression system but do have fire extinguishers that’s rated for oil based fires in the kitchen.

I also have an openable burglary bar in one location.

Oga Egun, you still don't want to show us this openable burglary. I understand the security risk involve in showing this in a public forum but it could be cropped out just to see it. I am interested in the openable burglary thing for windows.

"Time frame"
This is the soul of every contract.
If it is a contractor's fault to execute a project within the agreed time frame, he may be penalised, now if there is a hike in prices of materials outside the time frame, he bears the responsibility.

To all artisans out there.
Time is as important to your client as the charges is as important to you (artisan).
If an artisan delays a job and it extends beyond the agreed time, such artisan must be held responsible even for the hike in prices of material.
This is coming from my own sch of thought.

Good you said your own school of thought. When it comes to building things can change and every contractor should highlight the possible change in their contract, sadly most artisans have not gotten this level of education and it's rightly so, we don't have that environment.

I am doing a project, and the contractors mentioned that expected completion date will be April, however situations may change, and rightfully in January came the snows, then the cold weather were brick works cannot be done. work was delayed significantly. Then prices varied but I was shown proof, and reasonably made adjustments based on the slight change.

Contractors should be sincere, and clients should also have a human face when making demands from artisans, because things are mighty tough at the minute for both parties, especially in Nigeria.

In London I can tell you I will make it in 2hrs and keep to that time, but in Nigeria that may not be possible, even if your intention was to keep to time. If it's not the police, it may be armed robbers on the road, or some crazy traffic.

I don't have a picture right now but I kind of have an idea on how it can work though.


Think of it this way, after making the burglary, you can add an anchor on one side of the burglary and at the other side, you put the bolt that will lock it.


I'm not good in explaining what I have in my head to someone but when I start working, I can make it happen

Good evening everyone. This is me reminding y'all about what you're already aware of.

If you have any iron project and you have the funds right now, kindly start working on them. Delay is financial risk and unwise.


Bought some materials on Tuesday and went back today to buy more, and there was already a price increase. Multiply the increase by the quantity I needed and could afford today, you will almost weep for the future of the economy.

Awon flat roof geng, now take a look at this "simple and clean" roof rendition and then tell me flat roof is modern and beautiful. You say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but how can you behold something the eye can't even see as flat roof.
