sonnie10: There is a cost of doing business, agreed! As to your last paragraph, it goes to show something I have said before, people do business with people they like, so everyone cannot and will not be a client/customer, because everyone cannot like you. Thanks for clarifying. 2 Likes |

I really don't understand. Why will you expect someone to leave his location and come to yours across different states just to take measurement when there's no assurance you'll give him the job? Why not just patronise those around you? You're lucky he didn't ask you to pay for his flight to and fro. You want to give someone a job of 8M but you can't pay his 25k transport. So if his transport indeed costs 25k and he goes to four of such places without getting the jobs, 100k is gone. How much is he making from the jobs? Every contractor knows you'll probably get to execute 3 (or less) out of every 10 quotations you send. Why will any sensible contractor risk his life and waste his money on something with such a low probability of success? 15 Likes |

Itsrm:The person from Warri came and secured the job. He did it , and did not collect any upfront advance fee (seems more like an advanced fee fraud). It’s totally up to the vendor to do it or not. Nobody is forcing anyone. Note Warri to core East is more expensive in terms of transportation when compared with Lagos to the same place. Maybe its the Nigeria concept but, Private businesses that operate emergency ambulance here are familiar with the concept . When a 911 operator dispatches an emergency alert to the general ambulance services dashboard, all operators ( private business) would see the request. Many would move at the same time. Anyone that gets to the scene first, picks up the patient(victim). The rest ambulances that come afterwards would return empty. No one pays them. It is the cost of doing business. An ambulance usually would have at least 3 staff, add that to the cost of gas for such heavy truck . Remember people are paid per hour here . Nigeria will get there soon, however some people are already using that strategy, like the roofing company that came from Warri. 1 Like |

hello our building project foundation was completed approximated 8-months ago then we paused to repack our pockets. now our blocks are hand-mould using dangote cement and removing approximately 40-blocks per bag using only sharp-sand and stone-dust. now we were putting in the pillars, and we noticed, unlike few months ago when the blocks were strong almost like a rock, now with the rains, it's still strong, but not as strong as it used to. though workers still swear it's so much strong but personally, i know it isn't as strong as they used to be. i want to know if the strength would return when it dries after the rains. the foundation is about 8-months old |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by seepanel: 5:46am On Apr 03, 2023 |
seepanel: is it normal for blocks to get a bit soft/weak during rainy season, then return back to their full original strength after the rainy season. |

I've been to anambra to give paint quantity estimate for different colors per each section but I didn't get the job. The person paid for my transport and quality hotel reservation and the whole trip was a pleasant experience for me so I didn't feel my 2 days was wasted. Imagine an artisan that his work couldn't go on without his presence and who depends on regular daily pay spending his money and time and not getting the job. Sometimes it's not all about cost of doing business or being prudent but being humane and understanding. These tokens won't make a dent in the finance of someone able to put up a structure plus it would be deducted from the payment if they get the job. Before I'm accused of entitlement, I give painters that I don't share in their payment money for site inspection and sometimes personally add to their payment if I feel it's low and they collected it out of no choice or to please me. We recently supplied a member ready mixed screeding putty ( basecoat) and I decided to document the process. https://youtube.com/shorts/-gnUQ3LDANw?feature=share https://youtube.com/shorts/1ZzeYx8g8oQ?feature=share The video is the production process of the basecoat. I was inspired to post this reading about the discussion on screeding and cost per sqm. The cost for materials and labor is under N900 per sqm including transport within lagos and this being the best possible screeding material. 4 Likes 1 Share

redgem: For Pop ceiling: The width & length is measured = W × L. For screeding, the wall is usually measured: The width × height = W × H. (Above ground level) Screeding Measurements is usually more than Pop ceiling Measurements. |
