saydfact:
Thanks boss.
Let's analyse it.

What makes brick more expensive.

1. Block is about 5k - 6k per m2 while brick is about 10k - 15k

2. Block has zero cost for transportation while brick could cost as much as 200k or more to transport the entire bricks needed on a 3 bedroom bungalow (about 20,000 pcs).... If you're in the same state where it's being produced or millions if its Abuja to Lagos and the project is a duplex.

3. For conduit pipes, you break blocks and plaster back, while you'll need mechanical tools and or accessories and ducts to make that possible in brick.

4. Labour for block is readily available at about N1000 per m2 while Labour for brick is scarse and more expensive (even worse if its the local home baked bricks)

5. Any error on laying blocks can be concealed with plastering, while you'll need to condemn the brick and start afresh or end up with a bad looking structure. WINK!

6. For the locally made bricks, available of clay soil is an issue....

You're right.
Brick makes the indoor cooler on hot days and makes it warmer on cold night.

We all shd be using brick in 9ja... But the cost is killing ooh... Lagos Poly started with brick at their permanent site but had to abandon the project and completed it with blocks.

I'll like to read about your research, we can learn from it also.
Thanks.
This is completely false my oga . I will Runs project soon and you will see how much it cost to do it . I will drop every details here . All in plain open

Good day sir!
Perhaps he is talking about, not enough cross wood for the Nogging (fillas tie). Even if that's the case, you only need to buy a few wood (or use wood on-site, if you have).

Send a picture of your Roof Nogging area!

Just report him to the nearest police station and submit a petition to the disco serving your area with your evidence.
For me, I made it mandatory for my property manager to visit all my apartments in his care every month and he must check their meters. We’ve just included the mandatory quarterly inspection of the apartments to our policy. This is because the 10% they paid as caution charges will no longer be enough to fix any significant damage.

Morning sir,
if most of the water comes from the road (where the man stood to take the pics), then construct a gutter (about 600mm deep) on this side of the building we're seeing and channel the water into a shallow well (dig a well, of about 3 rings on the left side).

This should solve the problem.

IF the water comes from the right also, then repeat on that side too (ditto for the four sides).

Keep me updated.

Goodluck
