redgem:Prices of materials changes per second these days. So it's difficult to tell if that is genuine or not. Don't send him the money. Put that 65k in your pocket, go to the market and check the current prices at different mills then go with the guy and buy and pay for the goods. Pack your wood to your site that same day. Stand there and ensure the quantity you paid for is what is loaded. Follow the truck all the way to your site. Trust no one. I repeat: trust no One. If u don't have time to do these things yourself then send the money, close your eyes and pray. NB: don't start woodwork until u have enough money for the roofing sheets. 2 Likes |

redgem: I guess your project is in Benin cos that’s the standard roofing wood size there. Use what your carpenters are comfortable with. I’d prefer 18ft wood too if we have it here in the south west. As per pricing, I’d advice you make hay while the sun shine. Lastly, chill out if need be to muster enough fund. You’re not in competition with anyone I guess. God will replenish your purse. __________ As at today, 30 tonnes stone dust is now over 150k in a location where we bought it at just 90k last year. 1 Like |

n3xt: Yes, it's in Benin.... I immediately paid the supplier full amount he told me last week only to get a call that he went to the Bush this morning and the price has increased. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by redgem(f): 10:46pm On Mar 28, 2022 |
coldcandy: He is getting the woods direct from the bush and he promised that its quality...told me the woods in the market are not strong woods, they will be attacked by termites (even after treatment) and will wear out with time. I made the payment immediately I was given the price list, paid him full amount he told me last week only to get a call that he went to the Bush this morning and the price has increased... Is it my fault that he didn't pay immediately I sent the money to him? That was why I was delaying cos I wanted to gather funds for wood work and roofing.. Only to find out now that I am spending more than half of my budget for wood work. |

redgem: If you can conveniently afford the difference, agree in principle with him. If you can’t afford the difference, see if you can get slight reduction in the price. Let him bring the woods. Count it and pay him the difference. Don’t waste your time on unfocused distractions! __________ I don’t know the size of your build so I can’t tell if the amount you’re spending on carcassing is too much or not. |

n3xt: It's a small 3 bedroom bungalow with 39ft by 49ft size.. Does it mean no one uses by 12ft in Benin? I can't afford the price change cos it will affect my entire budget... |

redgem: If it was me, I will gently tell him to bring the quantity the money you him can afford. Once he brings them, (which I doubt) just sack him and and go get the small difference yourself. Before you do this make sure what he is about to bring is not considerably less. |

redgem: That’s very small footprint na. I think you’re spending too much. Some part of a building project are not for diy’ers. I think you should get someone to guide you. Alternatively, post your building plan here and get an option quote from in-house roofers to compare price/quantities. I didn’t pay more than 650k or thereabout for the woods used on the project below. It was supplied by @mountmoriah (https://www.kobocity.com/u/mountmoriah) on POD and I still have some quantities left on site. ________ I’m also roofing 2 building in Abeokuta this month end. I doubt we are spending up to 1.4m of roofing woods and it’s 3 unit of 2 bedroom x 2 1 Like

flexyonline: That's because your 10kvA inverter is actually 8.5kva when you consider power factor.. You can't have more than 8.5kW even if your panels are sized for 20Kva since your inverter is 10kva. I stand corrected. |

sonnie10: I don't know anything about woods so, I can't tell if what he wants to bring is quality... Only my site manager can confirm the quality and that's when the woods have been delivered. I am only trusting his words and I don't think it's ethical to return the woods when he brings them... I don't want issues with anyone. I just spoke to my engineer, he suggested I ask for a refund, tomorrow we go to the market together. |
