Hello, good morning, I was searching for articles related to dangote falcons cement before I stumbled upon this thread. I bought 25 bags of dangote falcons yesterday with the mindset of buying dangote 3x without the seller clarifying me on the differences. My intention was to buy dangote 3x for moulding block, but he loaded dangote falcons in the van that I brought. Before I discovered it, it has been completely loaded with supaset and time was far spent coupled with extra expenses of offloading and reloading it. The seller said that dangote falcons is good for moulding block and also for foundation laying? Please sir, can it be used for block moulding and foundation laying? will there be challenges? What should I do?
the Falcon is specifically used for plastering. Don't fall to his selling tricks... the outcome on block production will be heartbreaking and waste of resources. Supaset is best for block production and concrete work. Dangote hv 2 type of 3x one is 42.5R(Fast curing) the other 42.5N(normal curing)

I hope u understand R & N. R is for speed construction process but is not a good ethics in construction.

Becareful of the type of cement u buy from Dangote.

See ehhh, the thing is this life is very short. I know it. What most people will regret is not what they did, but mostly what they didn’t do. I have seen people come and go, and have seen what those they left behind did with the money they couldn’t spend.
You see this life, na better money I never see. But the small God has blessed me with, I not fit kill myself !

You are 100pec right. “Jomo”pipe is also good
The Niger pipe the OP mentioned is also good it’s more common in used in Benin and most eastern part of the country.
It’s was Also available in Lagos some years back around 1995-2002 but they didn’t bring it anymore

Exactly.
There is nothing wrong with being a brand ambassador . But when you force yourself to become one like hush puppy did, that is where greed and trouble starts.

Hello Nairalanders,
I am just about to start plastering of the attached 4 unit of 2 bedroom flats. The Togolese Mason has priced #950k as labor payment to do the work. I will be the one to provide cement, sand, water and other materials needed to complete the job. The plastering include all inside plastering up and down, all outside plastering up and down, under decking plastering, window and door dressing, art work on windows, parapet dressing. Do you think his last price of 950k is fair? He started with 1.4M.

The price is ok. Consider that if you do them separately, like outside, inside, under decking and parapet, it will cost you even more.
Window dressing and doors plastering will cost you more later.
Except you will include those in the negotiations now and they will return to do them once you have the actual windows and doors in place.

I think you got a good deal. I have a 4 bedroom bungalow currently being plastered, the mason charged me 340k for all that's to be plastered and dressed including parapet.

Thanks so much for your response sir. The mistake has already been made. I have bought already and transported it to my village. I am now looking for a way out so that the cement wouldn't be a waste. Please advice me on what to do with the 25 bags of dangote falcons; can I use it for foundation laying, or should I use it to mould block or should I mixed it up with supaset/dangote 3x and mould block? What should I do please?

Mix it with supaset, do that at the german floor

He can use falcon for foundation slab and average height buildings.

Falcon cement is great for plastering because it enhances the strength of your mortar by reducing the clay content.

Okay. Will the German floor take place in the course of foundation laying? That's, is the German floor part of the foundation laying? I haven't start anything in the foundation, I want to start it in December

And it has almost turned to a dog eat dog scene.

People are throwing away home training for a plate of porridge.

The court won't save you o unless you have unlimited wait time and up to 50% of the money you're trying to recover.

So save yourself the stress, triple check before parting with your money.

Because even if you end up getting your money back years later (if it ever happens), it won't be up to 30% in value as long as its ₦.

I still dey wait you even though whatever you end up paying wouldn't even be equivalent to 40% of what it was 2 years + ago.

Though you've started making moves but too far from the goal post

So fingers crossed.

Bros grab it, if possible, negotiate the fence with him as well. Please pay attention to material he quoted for the job. Some of them may charge less for labor and hit you hard with materials.
