I just paid N100K for 10 tons of granite in Ibadan. I paid N74K about a month ago.

Good luck to those starting new builds. We’ve entered into new territory.

Wow !!! Maybe they sell based on location since you’re on the akala way I still got 20 tons granite for 120k in October ! Wow Nigeria I don’t understand ooooo

So I bought the highest quality paint brushes and rollers that I could find in the construction marketplaces in Abuja and invited some painters to help me paint.

Here's what I noticed, none of them washed the paint brushes and rollers at close of business.

None of them put the paint brushes and rollers in water to ensure they would be moist the next day, if they didn't want to wash them

None of them washed the paint containers of any spilled paint on the body.

None of them cleaned the paint spills on the floor.

I think we have trained a crop of artisans who do not care to clean up after themselves or even clean their own tools.

I had to clean up the brushes and rollers and containers at close of work.

I have actually seen posts here indicating that's not their job, which contradicts videos on painting made by foreign professionals on YouTube.

One of them even used a paint brush to paint an entire wall when I told him to use the paint brush to do the cutting(edge finishing) all round and the roller to do the main painting. Which is very annoying when the client has spent a fortune on paint. It's like he didn't care about economical use of the client's resources.

Just sharing my experiences engaging artisans

Addendum:

Paint technology has so improved that several foreign professionals insist on washing their brushes every hour. They say that if that's not done, that the paint brushes become garbage. Now compare that with those who never ever wash their brushes.

Food for thought.

Good evening good people, please who knows how they charge for marble/granite top for kitchen cabinet.
Cc Egunmogaji, Hajj Muftau etc

Mables are sold like Tiles in the market,There are different types of Mables from low quality to high quality in the stock and the price are varies but the lowest price starts from 15k to 45k per square meter.

Does anyone have a picture of a straight parapet vs curved parapet? What is the difference? Is the extra cost for a curved one worth it?

rotecch77:


If home owners like you can afford to pay premium for Labour like 7000 -10,000 per day is not bad others can follow same
At the end of the day 3bedroom will cost btw 20-25m to build.
Minimum wages salary earner will also step up there game so that they can be an home owner too
Nigeria don beta be dat

And Govt, who is the biggest employer of Labour is still unable to pay #18,000 minimum Wage?
Will the Civil Servants not go to the same market like all those who earn #10,000 per day?

Standard of Living is a SYSTEM, one part of that System cannot just run high while others remain low.
Like water, everything will settle down to its own level.
If Labourers earns #10,000 per day and Three bedroom costs #25M to build, Landlord will rent it out at #4M per annum, (or a single Room ar #1.8M per annum, how many Nigerians can afford that?

If you think labourers are suffering, go and ask the MD of a Company that has to pay Workers at the end of the Month, even though half of the Month was used as "Sit-at-home or one Civil unrest or the other".

So, I recommended a vendor here even before I conducted any business with that vendor because I conducted due diligence on this vendor and he passed, but then something happened between us and I vowed never to do business with that vendor.

I hope vendors and clients will learn from this story.

Consider this a teaser/trailer.

Details in a bit.

I intend painting a small building i own but the
artisans of nowadays re becoming a mess sir.

Looking at walking into dulux or berger paints,purchase from them and ask for them to help with the painting.It might cost me almost a million but i just want peace of mind.

Dulux or Sandtex....both are made by UAC PLC.

I feel that Berger Paints not as good, just a feeling, I can't substantiate this feeling.

Dulux is the more expensive brand.

Sandtex is the cheaper brand from the same company

The choice is yours, but someone inside told me the same machines produce both, but the packaging is the difference.

I have no way of confirming it.

I shared my experience so you can know what to discuss with them.

I've still got the internal walls to paint and the fence.

We are going to have serious discussions if i must use the same set of people, I will also have these discussions if I am using a new set of people.

Would like to hear your thoughts.

Tarpaulin is the standard almost all carports use.
Anyone can do it.

For danpanlon you may have to get a person who knows EXACTLY what he is doing. You will have a much more exotic, posh looking carport.

As to age in my experience as long as they are not damaged in a windstorm, they should last 5 years or more.

Incidentally your carport design would be over design for tarpaulin, but provides multiple fixing points for rigid danpanlon.

So now you should ask yourself about colour and translucency

Like I did mention earlier, there are some painters that aren't mine that did perfectly neat application.
I specifically requested for@ Thenext to post a few videos of the internal painting done by his painter.
I'm particularly impressed with the neatness and how they took their time to do the cutting of the top part, lower part and part where different colors meet for first coat.
If not told, you would think it was a finished painting and they are yet to apply the second coat.
The final coat and cutting would be uniform with this approach.
The paints were supplied by me and I can definitely give you same product at a much cheaper cost.
