Looks like landscape lighting/accent lighting is not a big issue in Nigeria. We don't make statements with lighting like the pictures attached. Is it a cultural thing or a financial thing or that others don't do it so we don't know about it? 2 Likes

FEGEITOK: I used to win awards in my neighborhoods in the USA for horticulture and Xmas decorations. The issue here in Nigeria is security. I try my best to make my house blend in with the landscape. No display of frivolities. It’s a personal thing. 11 Likes |

EgunMogaji2: Thanks for your response. There are upscale neighborhoods in Nigeria. I cannot claim to have visited all, but the few I have I have not seen good lighting arrangements. Our lighting here more or less betrays the fact that lighting professionals aren't involved in the placement/arrangements - and that a lot of thought has not been put into this aspect of the building plan. Your reasons make sense, but my point is a lot more is spent on other areas of the structure than would have been spent on these kinds of lighting. So I tend to think it has to do with what the building professionals here recommend or suggest. When night falls the tens to hundreds of millions spent go dark as well. If you share some of those arrangements, I am currently on the lookout for ideas to copy On more thing, given the marked preference for full length none-see-through fences, if those lighting arrangements are within the compound no one except visitors and the owners of the house would see them. 1 Like

Greetings to the house. Appreciation to those clients that have patronised Choice Cost Consult for quantity surveying duties such as preparation of Bill of Quantity, Resources Schedule (Schedule of Materials and Labour Bill) and other services rendered by us. Also to those recommending us even when I haven't been active here for quite some time, I take none of your gestures for granted. May you find help and support too. Happy weekend to you all. |

Good afternoon my people.. The issue of theft in most of our sites these days is becoming alarming. We have a project in Abuja and the installation of first fix started last year August. The second fix was completed early December,. We are meant to start the final stage yesterday but on getting to site all cables were stolen including the load cables to the distribution . Now who is responsible for this act? After we completed the second fix which is the cabling in early December 2021, POP contractors came and left, Tiler came and left, also the Aluminium guys also came and left . But my concern is that the builder couldn't fish out who could have done this .. Cables of about 2million naira got stolen on site and we have builder supervising the project regularly on site. My concern is that all the cables removed would be sold as scrap maximum 30k because there was no straight l length in those cables .. Are we going to blame government for this because of lack of job(an idle hand is a devil workshop ) My client said the it can't be tiler and POP guys because they are Togolese The Aluminium contactor is a Nigerian and he stays more than POP and tilers on site. Who are we going to hold responsible for this act. We got to Abuja yesterday hoping that the final fix will be completed in the next 8days. 2 Likes |

twinskenny: Even with on-site security, this issue of wire theft is alarming and very serious! I had a similar issue at my site, fortunately, it wasn’t to the tune of 2m� I said it once here, until we all start to police each other in Nigeria things may not be right for a while. There is a slogan “if u see something, say something “ I feel for the owner! Someone on-site knows something! 6 Likes |

Jeff68: We need to get whistle blower around our site . This is an estate with no access to outsiders except people working in that estate . Government can't do everything for us now. We to be vigilant especially people leaving in that area. Those guys doesn't know the worth or values of those cables. Some of them are just wicked soul. Cables and pumping machine were stolen. 2 Likes |

topsy23: I think you may want hidden solar powered cameras. The only way. You may be shocked at who is actually involved. You may even find the items are still hidden on site You can also consider engaging a security company - who will bear liabity for any stolen items. We had issues like this on some projects and when we waved the liability, it cascaded down to the security officer who made stolen items reappear. |

Dirkcoyt:The old buildings built by the so called baba lati's are standing strong today for following reasons. 1. A very high quality materials 2. No compromise as country wasn't this hard and everybody was ok then 3. Don't be deceived that those baba lati's were absolutely lacking a former training most of them were draughtsman with some training under foreign experts. 4. There are enough land to buy in good location so nobody was jostling to buy swamp and the likes Concerning soil test: Like I said earlier that most people built on a good soil then. Bit some equally made mistake of building wrongly, i grew up in Ibadan and in 80s during my primary school I know a house by my school that sank completely as in a whole house enter ground completely. So please don't joke with soil test where necessary. 8 Likes |

GloriousGbola: This issue has arisen before in the last 6 months on this forum. The solution is active and passive security measures like recommended above. If there is no deterrence in place, people will take advantage of opportunities like the above discussed millions of naira (in kind) lying unmonitored, that's a big opportunity to cash out with minimal investment. With times as hard as this, why will someone without morals not consider taking advantage? The way out is to think like a thief to catch a thief. 2 Likes |
