There's this man behind my plot. Shifted the corner piece to alter my space and also dug his suckeraway just behind the corner piece, the corner piece shifted was too obvious to notice due to the fact that the blocks were new. I no Sabi fight land matter. Just not sure how to go about this cos this person did it intentionally and he will sure be expecting me to come forth

I hope this is not true cos I am starting a similar
thing and my budget is less than that.

In present Nigeria, there is no such thing as budget. Even if you plan on finishing within 2-3 months. Prices are changing everyday.

Roofing myths in Nigeria can sometimes lead to misconceptions and poor decisions when it comes to building or renovating a roof. Let's debunk 10 common roofing myths in Nigeria to ensure you have the right information:

1. Myth: Roofing is a DIY Job

Reality: Roofing is not a suitable do-it-yourself (DIY) project. It's much more complicated than it might seem. Professionals are trained and experienced in working on roofs safely and effectively. Here's why it's a good idea to leave it to them:

Roofing can be dangerous: Climbing on a roof without proper safety equipment is risky. Professionals have the right gear and training to avoid accidents.

Quality matters: A well-installed roof can last for decades, while a DIY job might lead to leaks and costly repairs down the road.
Legal issues: In many places, there are rules and regulations about roofing work. Professionals know these rules and can ensure your project complies with them.

Overall, hiring roofing experts ensures your safety, the quality of the work, and compliance with local regulations.

2. Myth: Roof Color Doesn't Matter

Reality: The color of your roof can have a significant impact on your home's comfort and energy bills. Here's how:
Light-colored roofs: These reflect sunlight and heat, helping to keep your home cooler in hot weather. This can reduce the need for air conditioning and save you money on energy bills.
Dark-colored roofs: These absorb heat, which can make your home warmer in the summer. While this can be cozy in cooler climates, it may increase cooling costs in hot regions.

So, choosing the right roof color isn't just about aesthetics; it can affect your comfort and energy efficiency. Consider your local climate and your home's insulation when selecting the color for your roof.

3. Myth: All Roofing Materials Are the Same

Reality: Not all roofing materials are equal. Some can withstand harsh weather, while others may not. It's like picking the right clothes for different weather – you wouldn't wear a thick sweater on a hot day, right? So, choose roofing materials that match your climate and requirements.

4. Myth: Roofing Is a One-Size-Fits-All Solution

Reality: Roofs are like shoes; one size doesn't fit all. Just as you wouldn't wear running shoes to a formal event, you shouldn't use the same roofing for every building. Consider your building's purpose, local weather, and style when choosing your roof. Each one needs a custom fit!

5. Myth: Roof Maintenance Isn't Necessary

Reality: Regular roof maintenance is crucial to prevent leaks and make your roof last longer. When you don't take care of your roof, leaves, dirt, and debris can pile up, causing problems. If you ignore maintenance, you might end up with big and expensive repairs. It's like taking care of your car – you need to change the oil to keep it running smoothly. Similarly, your roof needs some love and attention to keep it in tip-top shape. Don't skip roof maintenance!

6. Myth: All Roofing Contractors Are Equally Skilled

Reality: Roofing experts aren't all the same. Some are super good at what they do, while others might not be so great. It's like picking a soccer team – you want the best players. When choosing a roofing contractor, look for folks with a history of doing great work. Ask for recommendations from friends or check online reviews. The right roofing pros will make sure your roof is solid and safe. Don't settle for less – choose experienced experts for your roofing job.

7. Myth: Metal Roofs Always Make Homes Hotter

Reality: Some people think metal roofs turn homes into ovens, but that's not true! Metal roofs can be cool because they can bounce away the sun's hot rays. To make it even cooler inside, you can use good insulation under the roof. That way, you keep the heat out during hot days and keep the warmth inside during the chilly times. Metal roofs can be your friend in both hot and cold weather.

8. Myth: Flat Roofs Are Prone to Leaks

Reality: People sometimes worry that flat roofs leak a lot. But guess what? If they are designed and built correctly, they can stay strong and dry! The secret is having a good drainage system that makes rainwater go away quickly. So, if you plan your flat roof well and choose the right materials, you won't have to worry about leaks. Flat roofs can be sturdy and reliable, just like sloped ones, with the right care and design.

9. Myth: You should replace your roof every 20 years.

Reality: The lifespan of your roof isn't a one-size-fits-all 20-year rule. It varies based on different things like the type of roof material you have, the climate where you live, and how well you take care of it. Some roofs can last way longer than 20 years if they're well-maintained and made from durable materials. Others might need replacing earlier, especially if they face harsh weather conditions. So, don't just assume it's time to replace your roof after 20 years; get a professional opinion based on your roof's unique situation.

10. Myth: All Roofing Sheets Are Hurricane-Proof

Reality: While some roofing materials can handle strong winds better than others, there's no such thing as a completely hurricane-proof roof. Hurricanes can be incredibly powerful and destructive. What matters most is how well your roof is installed and reinforced.

Professionals can make your roof more resistant to hurricanes, but it's crucial to understand that even the toughest roofs can suffer damage in extreme weather. So, focus on proper installation and safety measures to protect your home during hurricanes or other severe storms.

Repost.

I have a 980 sqm building to be tiled.

What is the estimated cost for labor? I received a quote of 950 naira per sqm from a nairalander.

What is the estimated cost of tiles to be used? I received 4 million for total cost of tiles. This is regular tiles not spanish.

Since you have about 980 sqm of space for tiles,
Let’s add another 20 sqm as waste to make it a total of 1000sqm .
Now you were quoted #4M for tiles only
So divide 4000000 by 1000
You have #4000 per sqm of tiles

Expect the tiles to be of that grade.

Did u just say u plastered 6 flats of 3bedroom( 3 flats down stairs and 3 upstairs) for 750k labour charge?

Is it too cheap or expensive?

@Aventures you might remember this estimate from back in 2015.

Please Sir, can you still honor it? 🤠

With some amendments

Sorry for intruding in the design you posted. Staircase opening to ante room is a no no. It means that your visitor can purposely or mistakenly access the upper floor.

Also, for you to access your kitchen, you have to travel long.

Correction: Close the access from ante room. The wall of kitchen and store let it intercept the wardrobe wall which means you will increase the length of the wardrobe wall. relocate the bedroom wall to the interception while you break the ante/staircase wall to access the lobby

It is never an intrusion and I appreciate your input. I had earlier posted it here and the noble men and expert in the house did advise as you pointed out which was corrected and reflected by the architect in the final copy.

Once again, I do appreciate.

2019 when dollar was between 325 and 340. Things are still a bit better then. The latest news I heard yesterday was that Naira is the worst currency in Africa follow by Angola currency.. We don't know what will be the value of naira to one dollar in December. Presently is over 1k.

Way too cheap...spent 1.3mill on labour for plastering (interior & exterior) a blocks of 3bedroom flat.(1 flat down stairs and another block upstairs.)
Though it's being handled by an engineer,so I guess his supervision fee is included in that bill.

I was really pained by this granite thing. Paid 370k for a 30ton delivery but they couldn't deliver because the road to my site is flooded. Now I am forced to pay extra 105k because of increase in Quarry, Diesel and Agberos.

Very true bro, when taking on building projects,millions begin to sound and feel like kobo, when i got th quotation i thought it was a fair deal, but going forward I'll get quotations from 2 or 3 vendors before making a choice.
