Do you have an Eastern depot, somewhere one can get your products without the stress of transportation when one needs your products in a hurry?

Let's use these images as a better illustration, I had to walk round the whole market before I selected these wood from a dealer and it was a long story. The quality of wood in our markets are depreciating daily.

I came to this market and found out that there were no 'complete' woods of 2x4x16 of good quality, I was looking out for hardwood that is very reliable. There was simply none on the stalls, so I went and waited on one man I knew that always brings in new stock on Mondays. I arrived the market early on Monday morning to see his boys offloading wood. They wanted to load my truck and they started selecting good wood and removing them, I am very familiar with this sorting trick and I raised an objection to that. I stopped the loading more than once, when the owner came, he tried to persuade me that this is how the whole wood came in from Benue state, I knew, but why would he sell to me the wood they sorted, why not just offload everything since I was buying up to 700 lengths?

The owner later helped to speak to them, and they gave me something considerably better than what is obtainable elsewhere. I also paid more for the supply. The trick is that wood gets sorted as they offload, good ones are placed one side while fair ones are placed on another side, then expert loaders will arrange the fair ones to look neat and straight, to confuse those who are not conversant with their tricks. The good ones sorted differently are sold at a higher cost to those who appreciate quality.

Now look at all the stress and street knowledge deployed just to buy wood. It is not a good use of your precious time in my opinion. It could be better. There is a better way. You should be able to in the comfort of your office order for wood and get it delivered to specification. This is obtainable in some African countries we claim to be better than e.g South Africa. The question is: who makes that WAY? Who will Bell the cat?

What you've highlighted above is the main reason I don't go to any building merchant to buy materials myself. Each and every step in Nigeria is just too chaotic and stressful and fraught with potential fraud. It shouldn't be this way.

People don't take pride in their work anymore.

Most businesses/artisans don't invest in themselves.

The kind of jagajaga work people do these days will make someone shed tears..

My family sent me a picture recently and I was looking at one of the kitchen stools my grand mother used in the 70s. Built with care, all lines perfect. The chair was built by a village carpenter (not a premium service).

But compared to what my sister just built for her kitchen recently, jagajaga, wood not straight, not properly aligned.. it looks very embarrassing.

It is a sad thing, everyone will blame blame the government for this and that but I ask them, do you remit your business profit to the government as well?

I don't think there's any association in Nigeria that enforces standard not even the Nigerian medical association or Nigeria bar association.. frankly, I don't even know they had sawmillers association. Most of this bodies just collect collect dues that's all. No pride in their trade.. very shameful indeed!

They have Sawmillers Association. Very rich from dues collection but very old school in their operations. The association will tell you that they protect their members by paying bribes to the forestry guards and the police. There's no science or research in their operations.

No sir. Different clients with different specifications and colors would not make it possible.
I do send to the east well though. I charter whole bus or sienna for express delivery and transport companies deliver within two days for lesser quantity.
I subsidize or take charge of the transport if the quantity is significant.

What’s MEP and how much will it cost and what’s the benefit in getting the approval
What is MEP?
1. Accurate building design representation & assembly

Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing shop drawings have created the outline of final product assembly, with dimensions, accessories, cable and piping connections. Owing to this, comprehensive engineering assembly drawings are created from the BIM model, enabling the fabricators as well as the building contractors to obtain a clear picture of what is to be constructed. Further, if the project wants to use the same component several times, then the same MEP shop drawing is referred for instructions on manufacturing.

2. Built-in documentation for quick reference

If HVAC pipelines get damaged, building contractors can instantly refer to their mechanical drawings and specify the exact location for starting repairing work. Hence, it’s clear that BIM shop drawings are able to resolve problems, arising during construction workflow. Licensing authorities also use MEP shop drawing to make an effective plan and grant permits and licenses for a new construction project. Even in cases where a delivered component is damaged or gets missing, a contractor reverts to the original drawing set and place an order for a substitute.

3. Accurate cost estimation

AEC clients want to get an accurate cost estimation, so that the project costs do not exceed the estimated budget. A drastic increase in the cost is often feared by construction professionals. Hence, it’s crucial to keep a separate tab on costs in the manufacturing business – especially for the MEP components. 5D BIM helps to determine the cost of the building components, types of material, as well as subsequent assembly and installation. This prevents waste and overstocking. In case, your MEP building design is not accurate, you could place orders with BIM Modeling and avoid wasting time, during manufacturing, reassembling, and re-installation.

4. Product standardization

MEP shop drawings help to standardize your building process, ensuring that the products match industry standards. This enhances your chance of seeking licenses and building permits. If you’re not sure about the standards to be followed, you could ask BIM engineers for designing MEP drawings, conforming to the AEC industry standards.

2.How much will it cost?
This can be determined by the COREN Professional scale of fee and also by The size Building Plans.

3.Benefit of Getting approval?
Without the approval,the body in charge will not be able to certify whether Engineering principles for design and construction are followed.

MEP maeans

M - Mechanical (HVAC OR AC)
E - Electrical
P - Pipe services (PLUMBING )

Price depends on size of the building.

POP means = Plaster of Paris

Why you should go for POP

It is more durable.
It has low thermal conductivity.
It is very good fire resistant and hence a very good heat insulating material.
It does not shrink while setting.

You're even looking too far.

Woodmizer line of sawmill is available in Nigeria at https://www.gz-supplies.com/wood-sawmill-machine-wood-mizer-lt20b-series/

Operating a sawmill is one o the things that I'm interested in but will need investors for that since it's more than a one man show. It's also outside of my core competency of Automobile, Real Estate and Renewable Energy. I have the land for it and even have cut trees being aged on one of my plots.

Oya N3xt, maybe you and that your rich blow hard Uncle can set up one or na only junkyard or is it auction yard motorcycles una dey do? grin

So how will he defend the design of the site plan which is a crucial part of an architectural drawing?
Note: to get a workable site plan, a survey plan must be present.

It only require:

- more detailed MEP design done by professional MEP guy
- highly professional tiler
- professional plumber
- a little more time for installation and full attention to details
