lexini:Please, does the 150k cover the labour charges or you employ and pay the labourers yourself? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Procarpenter: 1:54pm On Nov 21, 2023 |
Glocal1: My advice is that just negotiate with the bricklayer and tell him how much you can afford to pay for the labour. Because if you pay daily payments you’ll spent more than that 150k. But with the materials just tell him that can 28 bags of cement and 2200 blocks will complete it. Let him know. that’s your budgets for it. 1 Like |

Procarpenter:Thanks for this. Do you have idea about charges for plastering of a house. How much will it cost to plaster both in and out of a 4- bedroom flat ensuite ? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by lexini: 4:06pm On Nov 21, 2023 |
i eventually dumped that person and can't recommend him, unfortunately. the guy i am using now came in highly recommended and he's currently plastering in and out and doing my german floors for me. his work with me will take at least 3 weeks as he just started yersterday. i can still ask him though, where is your location?

lexini:I hope the current person's charges are affordable. The project is in Osun. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by lexini: 6:49pm On Nov 21, 2023 |
Actually yes. The guy doesn’t negotiate sha. His price is the last price. But it was still the cheapest I got. My project is in Mowe and the guy stays in ikorodu. I’ll be on site on Saturday- will ask him then and revert. Cheers Glocal1: 1 Like |

twinskenny: One of the reasons you need to chart a land to know it's status before buying the land. We have land within government acquisition and land not in government acquisition, you can't know which is which with the physical eyes. This message has been over preached on this forum.

oduncojamaica: I would rather buy imported, food-grade or decontaminated tanks than waste my money on all those robber/plastic yeye brands those Asian companies manufacture for us. Both robber and plastic are substandard. ‘Robber-made’ tanks too leak quickly. Just that it’s a bit better than plastic own. High water pressure causes it to start leaking under 2 years. The resin and other chemical compositions in the purported robber grade are deliberately made to be lesser and substandard. I don’t want to mention any brand but all I know is that the last time any of them made good tank was in 1993. Quote me anywhere. If you want piece of mind, go for imported food-grade tanks or thoose properly decontaminated ones. They are usually brought to Nigeria by manufacturing companies when bringing chemicals or food-grade additives. The only down-side on it is that: it is usually in 1,000 liters. Another pro of it is that: the robber is strong because those who manufactured it did because of safety of the contents in it firstly, and to withstand many weathers and other rough handlings. They usually come on pallets and in cages. They are cheaper. They sell between N25k to N40k, depending on how clean or how graded they are. Make sure the one used to bring chemical are properly decontaminated before buying. Or try and decontaminate it if you know how to do it. Some Nigerians are already going to China to bring brand new ones of those tanks. Please run away from new ones. They are fa.ke. I have attached photos of new (black, in this case), and used ones (white, in this case. 3 Likes

MeineMutter:These whiten tanks are not made for certain conditions and for storing portable water. No matter how you wash them, the chemical composition used in making them will still degrade under certain environmental conditions. The residues could be cancarnogenes. Think of free radicals and harmful ions. These are things you can’t see nor even smell. Not all plastics should be kept and exposed to weather elements while storing portable water in them. The stability of the chemical composition of the material at this unintended use conditions is the real issue. Be safe out here! 4 Likes |

MeineMutter: I think building engineers need to do more research on this and advice their clients accordingly. However, I've not for once seen where these imported tanks are being used. And while it might be true that there are now more fake tanks out there than original, I've personally lost count of tanks (in this case, the popular ones we buy) that lasted for years and years without leaking. Those who have more knowledge in this area can enlighten us more though. 2 Likes |

nurd: Let me tell you this as someone coming from a system where things work the ways they are meant to be. But in Nigeria, people do things anyhow due to lack of regulations. You see those tanks, anyone that uses them for portable water storage in a sane system, will land in jail. Sometime ago, a neighbor was renovating his old roof and had removed the old woods as well. You need to see how people were rushing to pack the old woods for firewood, which they would later use for cooking. Those were woods which were obviously treated with chemicals including formaldehyde. The same chemical used to preserve corpse. They would then burn the woods and unknowingly release toxic gases into their foods. Na God dey safe people in this my dear country Nigeria. 2 Likes |

sonnie10: There are some for food-grades. Not for chemical. Not all of them brought chemicals. That’s why I said those that brought chemicals can be decontaminated. It is 100% possible. Even the brands we buy at high cost can bè cancerous. They are all made of chemicals. There are some that bring syrups, flavors etc. read the labels on them. None of them has ever brought hazardous chemicals. Maximum, they will bring glue. Hazardous chemicals are not stored in such containers. You can ask chemical engineers and production managers at factories. I have worked at various multinational companies factories for more than 20 years and I know what I am saying. This thread is not for advert but it to enlighten each other. Let’s brainstorm and solve many problems together. Let’s argue constructively and reach a win-win conclusion. Let’s set ourselves free from exploiters amongst us. Building house in Nigeria is not costly. It’s because we don’t have up-to-date information on so many things. That’s why we pay more for less quality. Modified. These sites can be useful for woodworkers and engineers in the house. cutlistoptimizer.com blocklayer.com https://hammockdave.com/cutting-board-calculator 2 Likes |
