There is absolutely nothing wrong in buying cheap.

If there are 2 of the same, why spend more to get the exact same thing?

Anyone saying you should is preaching a gospel that he or she does not practice.

Then again there is a place for differentiation. If you can differentiate yourself, you can charge anything and someone will pay. However, it also means you are targeting a different set of clients.

In my days of selling enterprise software, I would reach out to distributors outside Nigeria because those ones just wanted turnover versus Nigerian distributors who wanted to make a big kill on each and every single deal, and it was good for my profits.

There is nothing like financial prudence and discipline.

The problem is being ordinary and charging an arm and a leg, potential clients are going to have issue with that.

Please I want to start making budget for screeding... Initially didn't want to screed the exterior walls but changed my mind (for more painting options)..

Exterior walls 39ft by 49ft long (there's balcony at the front and back of the building).
Parlour = 42sqm (didn't subtract the doors and windows, same with the rooms)
Room 1= 15sqm
Room 2= 12.26sqm
Room 3= 13.27sqm
Lobby 1= 3.93sqm
Lobby 2= 2.92sqm

I plan on buying materials myself cos it's hard to find a trustworthy artisan here who won't want to rip one off...

I want to use black cement screeding just like one bolu1986 did (don't know if he can please assist me with the mix ratio), without him saying he used black cement, you won't know it was actually Portland cement he used...

The guy that did my pop said black cement screeding isn't good for interior cos it causes heat...please how true is this? So many confusion with black cement and normal cement screeding 🤧🤧🤧

Please skimmer guys here can you assist me with the list and amount of materials I should buy that would be enough to screed the entire build 🙏🙏🙏

Quote from my pop guy
25 buckets of Screeding paint
2 20kg top bond
15 water seal
3 bags of black cement


I need assistance here please....

I didn’t use black cement completely on the project I did… a mixture of black cement and white cement.. this is done to avoid paint peeling off in the nearest future…


Buy white cement and do the mixture for a super neat job

Look for good paint like Gloval…


Plastering normally determines the number of materials sometime.. if you plastering is not smooth you will spend more on materials to achieve smooth surface… so I can’t really know the actual quantity they will be needed! You can liase with your screeder

I want to use 3watts spotlight for pop in the parlor but electrician is saying it won't be good cos it will be looking like a hotel 🙄🙄🙄that I should use 6watts instead.. Total pop lighting points in the parlor is 24 and 6 wall brackets... Please what is your opinion on this?

Good Morning, am sorry just seeing this.

In my humble opinion, I think the light points is too much, instead of 3watts, you can settle for 6watts and reduce the lights points to a total of 10 or even less, 6watts are actually brighter, in the course of maintenance perhaps in a few years, when some spotlights would need to be changed, while some electrician can perfectly change it without tampering with pop, some can't. have had to cover some holes made on pop by an electrician after he changed the damaged spotlights for a client, which attracts an extra charge fee. (the more holes, the charge). Another consideration is if you're using prepaid, it's too much. But in the End, it's just your decision on how you want it.

Good morning everyone please I need advice on the type of wood for roofing.

The carpenter recommended melina or Ofu wood that they are good and termite resistant as the area is red sanded and termite prone and we will also Treat with soligmun and gamalin and kerosene.

The only challenge is he says Ofu doesn't seem to be readily available in this area as they might want us to pay and come back in like 2 weeks which he doesn't really support.

So he's suggesting Melina all through. I read somewhere here that melina is good for noggings.

So my questions are.

1.Is it okay to use melina for all the roofing woods.

2. Its slate we are going to use for the roof will the melina be good for the extra weight of asbestos slate if we eventually do melina through.

3. Location is Lagos, Agbara axis.

Though we still intend to ask around more at pakos around but please your opinions are highly appreciated.

Thank you.

I know you won't be perfect with telling the amount of materials since you've not physically seen the building and done measurements...I just want an estimate to guide me through and the best mixture so I can guide them to avoid getting cracks and peels...

Yes, it's the multiplication of length and breadth of a particular space. So, he is right.

Thank you very much. I was told between 700 and 1k per sq metre when I made enquiries in February this year. This information will allow me to bargain for some small reduction in price.

Its not easy looking for professional artisans (cos they all claim to be professionals)... I always look at distance...would have loved to patronize some artisans here (seen the quality of their work) but I don't think I should be selfish or penny foolish...and It's not a big project for me (it is kobo kobo project) to be dragging people all the way from other state down to Benin, I have done it twice and it wasn't favorable to I and the artisans..

I think the experienced artisan should rather decline the job than give a bad demonstration of their workmanship. Better to walk away. Everyone will eventually find their level.
