Can anyone please recommend a reliable structural Engineer that can help assess a building in Surulere?

@Abdulwastex one of the engineers here is working on a site in Surulere. Assessing a building in Surulere (same location) shouldn't be a difficult one for him.

You can reach him on Whatsapp/call on 08169492682

They’ll struggle to survive here. There are few guys who have tried this without success.

People here go to shopping malls to take pictures.

Baba, you're abroad na grin

One of the methods used in defining trade areas is asking a group of business owners or operators in related field to undertake a mapping exercise to help you define your trade area.

I think I am one of those who qualify to undertake this exercise because of my extensive knowledge of the market. I've worked with Ikea and the likes and I've also worked with Jimoh and Segun in Mushin.

Oga, please explain more if you can. It sounds like safety thing.

PS: This I want to learn and maybe copy grin

Oga mi below is the sample of grid switch recently installed for a client in Lekki, We introduce it to him and he love it. We have all the sockets, Cooker control unit, cooker hood, AC and water heater connected to the grid switch, all the appliances have a central switching. Each knob have different rating from 10A, 20A and 45A

10A is controlling the lighting
20A controlling the AC, Water heater, Socket
45A for cooker unit.

Your kitchen equipment will determine the number of ways to be installed

The reason why we have 12 ways installed for this client is because:

1 knob for Light
5nos. of 13A socket connected
1no AC connected
1no Water heater connected
1no cooker unit connected
1no cooker hood connected

Total appliance connected is 10
The remaining 2 knob serves as spares

Haha...this baba self...
mapping is a way for companies and investors to gauge the viability of a given trade or investment. Market mapping can be used to analyse different volatility levels and different prices for individual assets, or it can be used to analyse entire company and its competitors....

They know about ajah furnitures...

Look at this picture....you will get it...you are smart
