“I know someone that does it cheaper…”


In construction and property investment, going cheap often costs more in the long run.
Quality isn't expensive — it's an investment.
Do it right the first time, or be ready to pay twice.

Is it cheaper than Tyrolean?

“The cheapest contractor often ends up being the most expensive.”

I’ve seen it firsthand too many times.

Someone picks a contractor just because their price is far lower than others. Few months into the project? Corners are cut, materials are compromised, and suddenly the client is spending double to fix avoidable mistakes.

In construction, cheap can become very costly.
Always ask:

What quality of materials will be used?

What’s their track record?

Do they prioritize safety and standards?


It’s better to spend a bit more on the right team than to spend twice fixing what the “cheapest” team ruined.

Build wisely. Invest in quality.

Thanks. Well, articulated. Someone said the "over engineering part" but I just needed to hear from here. Now I am convinced . Damp proof only then. One shouldn't waste money anyhow..

Thanks once again. You were really convincing.

dollarnaira:
The fact that it is always expensive doesn't mean right job will be done always. Cheap and expensive are relative sincerely. My blame goes to client who does not have any ioata of foreknowledge on building materials itself or construction.

Some Very greedy so called "expensive" contractors are the main problems here. They charge you high and still use inferior materials.

If you cannot monitor your projects with due researches, just stay off building till you are free to monitor things yourself to a large extent.

You need to be a true follower of certain engineers who have a mix of academic work and proper and thorough field work experience to know the reasons why any engineer would require a DPM or not.


Just this few questions for you....
(1) What's the height of your foundation from natural ground level?

(2) Does that environment experience flooding after rainfall ?

(3) Are there proper drainage already constructed within that environment and surroundings?

(4) Is there any natural water body to a depth of 6 feet or borrow pit within a radius of 500 metres around that area?

olukaygold:
A contractor or engineer devoid of transparency will always be able to find ways to cut corners or inflate costs, even when you’re physically present.

This is why it is not only about supervision; it is about partnering with someone who is reliable, open, an accountable.

You may be present on site every day, however, if the manager assigned to your project is lacking in integrity, you will ultimately lose money, time, and your peace of mind.

So choose wisely. Don’t limit your search to who happens to be free or who was “recommended”; instead, search for someone who is transparent, breaks down processes, and welcomes your participation.

Construction aside, trust is the foundation of everything in life.

I have gotten to the soakaway stage in my bungalow. I have very limited space. It's half plot (100 by 25), and I was able to squeeze a two bedroom flat and two mini flat on it as a single unit.
The problem now is, the only space remaining in front is where d soakaway will be and aside from the conventional soakaway, which other option do I have.. I won't consider Biodigester because this is a rental property. Tenant hardly follow rules. The remaining space can manage two small car. The car will be parked ON d soakaway always and this bothers me. My dad's soakaway just went down on its own last year after 9 years and car is not even allow on it.
Someone is advising I consider the ring soakaway due to space. Is there any disadvantage to this ring's own..My land is not very hard, tho not swampy..its just in d middle. What other options do I have? Appreciate any response

bixton:
You can make use of the DPM.
Also do something to mitigate the challenge caused by rainfall water splashing on the external walls of the building before you're told in future that you did not build right.
