Greenarrow01:Nah . Secret is not in transformer and generator sizes Mall 1 , 200kva transformer . Lettable space about 1100 sqm , initially was suppose to be 110 and 165kva generator . A tenant had load requirement of 100kva so we have 165kva and 275kva there now. Operational Mall 2 , 500kva transformer . Lettable space of about 3000sqm , 440kva , 275kva , 165kva . Not operational Mall 3 . 200kva transformer . Lettable space about 1500sqm . 110 and 165kva . Tope just told me we will need upto 200kva based on his load calculation so I might upgrade , not opetatonal With high diesel prices now , am looking at the possibility of connecting mall 2 and 3 to 33kva for more regular public supply . So I might buy new transformers I have a facility manager managing mall 1. Contracted it out . Others will be the same . I have all tenants metered. So the bill the fm generates is dependent on the meter reading . It’s a function of public power supply received in the quater and diesel purchased . A lot will depend on the load requirements of the tenants , not a one size fits all .Hope i helped small 2 Likes 2 Shares |

rmx: My questions are now going to be plenty. I am very very sorry sir. I am working on something that needs 247 power supply. Diesel gen should never exceed 5hours of usage daily. This is the only way I can make profit. Now the place I am planning to Power supply there is 15-18 hours daily. Which is still not okay enough. I might make money, but it won't be enough as diesel will eat into it. Do you advice I change location or what? Is the 33kva power those high tension wires or those normal highway wires that connect city to city. Solar is not also an option. I have an option of another place that can boost of 20hours of power daily. But land there is expensive I am thinking of going the leasing route 1 Like |

sonnie10: To be honest, those guys are producing to international standard but those colorful South African bricks are sweeter. The ones produced in OGUN state are just too monotonous. They were used on Obasanjo Presidential Library. Pic 1: Obasanjo Presidential Library Pic 2: Oshodi Church renovated by NextHome (called “using clients money to do experiment”) __________ Can we see something that’s done by a non-consumate charlatan that’s not experimental project?

hslbroker2: Well done. I have a template I might be willing to give out some day. I used it on this project in 2019 but I no longer use it again. I have over 20m run. My templates can complete a standard duplex in 2 days if there are no curves or too many bends.

Someone please make it make sense...you have space but you make no savings making blocks yourself .. so just buy it ? 1.how does block industries make money then if the margins are so so small ?... A.not many of them own dump trucks to save money on sand B.they mostly buy cement same places you buy.ok maybe a lil cheaper (marginally) |

dongc: Smiles. Let’s hear from the non-charlatans I want to learn tonight. One thing I know for sure is block industries as at today make more than N1500 on each bag of cement produced without compromise. |

Greenarrow01: One more thing … if your making money in nigeria depends on having regular public power supply , you have your business strategy wrong It should be I can make money with running alternate power supply and if public supply is regular , it’s a bonus . Never the other way round 2 Likes |

Greenarrow01: We have 11KV and 33KV high tension line. Most of the 3-Aluminium wires run on 9m poles are either 11KV or 33KV line as shown in the picture below. On 33KV line you are quaranteed of minimum of 18hra power supply per but it will now depends on location these days. But in Lagos there is another power supply company called IPP(Independence Power Project). With IPP you are guaranteed of 20-22hrs power supply everyday. There is a way you can she's your load by using bigger generator for peak period and smaller generator for the off peak period. Diesel is more expensive these days and its really killing alot of business. 1 Like

rmx: Thank you very much sir. You have been very very helpful. Pls last question. Let's say you run your 165kva generator for 12 hours daily on full load. How much fuel in litres will you consume per day (12 hours run time) or 6 hours. Or better still How many litres does it consume per hour on a full load. |

Greenarrow01: You might be interested in this. Go to their website, register and join to bid. Logistics, that is shipping, duty and delivery to final designation in Lagos should be about $3500. ( Not including cost of purchase). Total duration for shipment is about 3months.
