Now I can see ur quotation clearly, but this ur 20mm pipes price might not materialize because a bundle is 25pcs.

At least, if u r using not too good pipes, the 5 packs should be around 50-55k. That means u r using the 3rd grade pipes, because they of 3 grades.

Other materials are ok but that 25mm price is outrageous.

Workmanship is ok but u can still beg him to reduce small for u.

Thanks so much. You and of twinskenny and Topsy have cleared my doubts.

I can not find the picture. Here's the best solution towards this thing, let him use materials he trust that will do the job cause if you tell him what you think is the best and anything happens,he will blame you for insisting on the choice of materials.

Just provide him with the funds and allow him to do the job to the best of his ability

The open flower bed is the main culprit.
The soil would retain water close to the building long enough for it to be absorbed by the wall.
Ideally, landscaping should be done in a way that water flows away from the building fast.
And I was thinking of doing the open flower bed around mine. Thanks for this informative contribution.

Initially, he said since I want steel, he will use 2mm steel that was the reason why I asked if the 2mm steel will be good...

2mm steel is too small for such weight. Water is very heavy

Not like it wouldn't work but on the condition that you do full damp proof membrane also around the external walls.

I thought so too. But it’s better safe than to hear long story afterwards.

Please my Ogas try to use quality electrical equipment for your project either rented apartment or your personal house. My neighbour house caught fire on Saturday due to high voltage supplied by PHCN . The DB circuit breakers refuse to trip off during this process and most of the cable got melted. Thank God people came to help him

Pls try to use quality materials for your project. So many people have prepaid meter now and they normally switch off so many things to save energy or consumption on their units. Sometimes the voltage increase to 250V, 260V. If your protective devices are not strong enough to withstand this high voltage from PHCN , Hmmmm

Hello folks, your advise is needed. I want to embark on a building project particularly a student hostel in one of the tertiary schools in Ogun state. Typically, the cost of a plot around there ranges from 1.5 million to 2 million. My concern now is that I'm faced with the option of either building a bungalow or a one storey building. The cost of decking is estimated at 5 million naira.
Please, which makes more financial sense... Building a bungalow and buying another plot for development or building a one storey building?
Putting into consideration that the cost of decking is 5m and cost of a plot is 2m.
Thanks

Interesting idea,
But if you building a storey building it will be one roof,
2 bungalows 2 roofs,

The decking cost takes away: new drawings, new approval, new documentation, foundation, 2 x roofing, new fencing, new soak away etc for the new land.
When you calculate all these factors, doing the decking option may be cheaper and less stressful…

If the intended location is Funnab/ CRESCENT, you can just abort, or simply buy the land and build for your personal use, hostel accommodation in that area is no longer lucrative.

OOU & BAB ARE STILL GREEN also the polytechs

Sir, you mean concrete tank stand cost almost same with H-steel tank stand? Meaning it cost more than galvanized pipes?

A number of people say otherwise that concrete or block and concrete stand is cheapest.

Can we see a pic if u dont mind?
