I have a met a tiler who charges 1500 per sqm . If you can't afford it then move.. he has the tools and the knowledge of it....

I can't invest in high end tools to make your work better then I will now charge peanut to carry out the job.. na
Professionalizm come with a price
its k ok its God that will help us in Nigeria, bringing out your time to do a great work isn’t the problem, the problem is that is the client ready to pay, some clients are ready to go for lower prices, in my field I charge you base on the design you want, but unfortunately you will see someone that will charge lesser, but the client won’t consider weather he will give him what he want, what do you expect from a client that has about 10 different quotations, I guess he is going for a lower price without thinking of the quality

You too gbamsky..... client go call 5 different workers for quotation and compare the price also the materials too.....

I don see person wey show me quotation of 15square meters room for #2500 workmanship with half bag of cement to do it

Omoh i told the man straight up that he's wasting his tiles to low quality beddings/mortal to hold the tiles well........
Some artisan don't care if you will give them another job.....some just wanted the current money.
Some clients too don't want to pay positively to reinforce good work......but all bend to the artisans that think everything about work is to earn something at the end of the day lol......

Thanks. I was considering between wooden tiles and brick for the marked area. Now, I do think this reflective tile might even be better. How much per square meter?
Those lines on the wall, it's plastering work right?

as for me I rather leave the job than collect a job that will spoil my name they know that many artisans are very hungry they don’t care collecting to work and end up having issues or running without completing it, av seen many occasions like that, the client will stil pay double of what he didn’t plan for.

Yes with your overbuden, you need the Indian drillers or locals with the right machines. They are mostly in Ibadan. They couldn't do mine in Sagamu axis because of the overburden of 50m my survey has. I had to use the company that has been drilling in the estate. I paid 550k early this year. I can give you contact of the Ibadan folks and you share your survey with them but you do your diligence.
I'll appreciate it sir.

MrOkenwa:
I need some advice regarding borehole. Site is in Obada, Abeokuta
I did 2 geo-surveys and they both pointed to same thing, similar spots.
I contacted 2 drillers. One is charging me about 1.9m for the total package and the other one is asking that I pay him as things unfold. drill, installation, procurement and I'll later pay for his service charge (he hinted that around 1.5m will sort everything). I have done borehole in my previous project but this seem to be an entirely different experience.
They both said that they're going to be using the Indian drilling machine.
Kindly offer your advice. I want to get it right this time. I already wasted 600k on a deep well, with the pumping machine now stolen.

cc diordaves

From your report the overburden looks promising and the depth is achievable with the available machines in the market.

Abeokuta is challenging but your report is not that bad, so I will not do pay as you go. I will negotiate a fix price (1.9m) based on hitting water. I will negotiate to pay maybe 30 percent mobilisation and balance on delivering sustainable water.

From the report sustainable water is achievable.

I have known since from the 80s that if you're lucky to hit water in Abeokuta, the water is so pure. One hardly experience iron bacteria in Abeokuta. Very fresh water.

Hello everyone, dear friends. Most recently, I bought an apartment in a new residential complex and began to repair it. I couldn't find cool modern renovation ideas, I was advised by the platform https://www.theprojectgirl.com/, where there are many different concepts for the design of your apartment. I have used it and have been very happy with it.

You will buy it but first ask your tiler if he's good in using the spacer....some tiler can't use some tools......
Labour cost of #400/m with spacer....na wah naija

To you, its cheap. It's a good deal to someone else. Affordable isn't synonymous to inferior.
I did 400/m last month, cumulative of 650k for the young man and his apprentices. I've had someone inspected his work and they said he did a good job. Not aware if he used the complete tools. What I'm aware of is that we are both happy.
Behind those beautiful skyscrapers in Dubai are artisans from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. They are quite good in what they do and they are quite affordable too. To some people, those workers are seen as cheap labors but when you meet the workers in person, you'll be amazed on how happy they are, and how they are forever grateful to the govt of UAE for the opportunity.

I won't offer Champagne to a maltina guest. I'm an evidence-based person. I'll gladly offer premium to a certified engineer/builder handling my job. At least, he has paid his dues academically and professionally. "I'm not cheap" no be by tools alone.

You may use premium grade emulsion sir.
It's durable for external use also it just doesn't have the low sheen or cleanability like the matte.


The premium emulsion or matte if slight sheen is desired.

Premium emulsion: N16000
Satin: N35000

The previous price included cost for logistics and equipment cost for application during the promo period.
