yemi2plus:This looks great. But for thorough comfortability, why not change the dinning to the living area, the dinning is enjoying more air ventilation and no much time is spent there. Compromises are necessary sometimes for full functionality. 1 Like |

Quick Question: I would like to know if it is adviseable to travel to Turkey or China just to buy materials needed for finishing phase of our 4 units of 5 bedroom Terraces? We are thinking of this option for two reasons 1. Quality 2. cost. If you've taken this route before, pls share your experience. Thanks 3strikes!!! |

3strikes:Bros don’t waste your money and time, anything you need is in Naija look around and ready to pay for quality. Otherwise your landing cost will x3, those dealers know they way through every corner to cut cost and still make profit. You most understand this guys buy 10 -15 containers at time with huge discount from manufacturers. 3 Likes |

3strikes: Might be better you buy locally , cdk is there , imported Spanish / Italian dey There are games and tricks regular importers play , reducing value , sending containers to specific terminals where they have prearranged settlement discussion , bringing other lighter goods on top of tiles , outright wrong description etc Last time I imported tiles was about 6 years ago , it had 20% levy apart from duty and vat . Do your analysis wella , brought in 5 containers then , brought in all doors , windows , fitted Kitcken , was for multiple flat project, naira was maybe 200plus then , nija don spoil sha 3 Likes |

rmx: Do you have any customs contact that can help? I have a vehicle at the port awaiting customs valuation since God knows when. Meanwhile, demurrage keeps piling up. This country is just so messed up |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by rmx: 9:11pm On Jun 23, 2022 |
Itsrm: Do you have your Bol or telex release , what do you mean generating demurrage? Those documents should be with you before the vehicle arrives ,agent should have given u a quote for the clearing even before the car gets here . The demurrage is unnecessary Recommending people comes with a risk , many agents clear vehicle 1 Like |

rmx: There was a lot of uncertainty regarding clearing fees while the vehicle was on the sea. Eventually customs came with the E Vin thing and published valuation for vehicles. I was under the impression that they had valuations for every vehicle. Unfortunately, I only just realised the vehicle is not in the customs database neither do they have valuation for it after it arrived. The agent has submitted a request for valuation and approval to clear manually. That's where we are. No feedback yet from customs and clearing can't proceed. |

Itsrm: Sounds like a strange problem , does not have a vin number ? They can’t generate duty from the year and make of vehicle ? Maybe you should talk to other agents for solution incase your agent is not doing something right Can give you somebody to get a second opinion from , send a mail 1 Like |
