Do you sell and How much is it? What are the charges?

Can it be applied to already screeded wall?

What about mineral stones paint?

Thank you
A drum is N26000. Application os N3000 per drum.
I want to assume marble trowel paint is what you called mineral stone paint. It has multiple colored tiny stones. It's N28000 per drum.

(If the mother of twins is asked “Where is the second child?” and she says “He went to the market,” she’s only deceiving herself.)

This is how some people — clients and even some artisans — move in this construction game.

You say you want parapet,
But you're insisting on aluminium flat sheet; just to paint grooves and form luxury😩

Who exactly are you deceiving?
The house?
Your neighbours?
Or your own conscience?

Let’s call it what it is:
That’s NOT parapet; it's camouflage.

Real parapet is reinforced concrete, casted with beam, iron rods, and formwork.
Aluminium flat sheet no get structure. E no dey cast. E no dey bond with the building.

When sun and rain start their work…
Your shortcut go expose you.

If your budget no reach, do proper fascia and move on.
Don’t fake what your structure can’t carry.

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by olukaygold(m): 10:50am On Aug 01, 2025
Now to those using aluminium doors for bedrooms, what exactly are you trying to achieve? 😑

Some fabricators will package the lie sweetly:

"E last pass wood... E no dey swell... Water no fit touch am..."

But truth be told…

Aluminium door as room door?
That’s like using ceiling board for floor tile; wrong material, wrong place.

Let me break it down clearly:

❌ It can’t block sound

❌ The locks go misalign over time

❌ The frame fit bend with small pressure

❌ And mosquito fit greet you from under the door 😂

Aluminium doors are designed for windows or maybe toilet areas (with caution).
But even for toilets, I don’t use it for my clients.

Why?

Because the panel door experience is different.
That “thud” you hear when you close a solid panel door imported HDf, Paneldoors or Steel doors,
Is the same you get when you shut a quality car door. 🚗

It’s soundproof, sturdy, classy, and confidence-inspiring.
The kind of feel that reminds you, “this house was built with intention.”

Meanwhile, aluminium door go dey give kpraaa kpraa kpraa like biscuit pack. No weight. No presence.

If you’re building to last, don’t compromise on essentials.
Even a toilet door deserves dignity.

Because you won’t know the difference; unless you give your project to a pro.

At GoldenView Building & Construction Ltd,
We don’t fake standard.
We build to last, from the gate to the toilet door.

Please, absolutely nothing wrong with going for a aluminium parapet instead of concrete parapet, its not only cheaper compared to a concrete parapet, its also easier to maintain. Aluminium parapet is very purposeful and very aesthetic.

One of our major problem in Nigeria is our low level of DIY orientation which tend to make people to be following the Bandwagon and not applying their own logic and Innovations to simple challenges.

I appreciate your contribution, and yes, you’re right that cost and aesthetics play a role in choices. But let’s not confuse aluminium parapet with concrete parapet; they serve very different purposes.

Aluminium parapet is purely cosmetic. It does not serve any structural or permanent protective function in the building.
Meanwhile, a reinforced concrete parapet is part of the building's structural system,especially when integrated properly during casting. It can:

✅ Help in water control at roof edges
✅ Act as partial protection barrier
✅ Improve roof-to-wall integration
✅ Add thermal mass (in high-end builds)

Let’s be honest: in Nigeria, the issue is not lack of DIY, it’s lack of knowledge, poor guidance, and excessive compromise disguised as 'Innovation.'

If a client knows what aluminium parapet truly is (a metal trim screwed to fascia board), and chooses it for budget or style, no wahala. But don’t call it the same as reinforced concrete parapet, they’re not equal.

And when it fails; rusts, leaks, or gets blown off by wind, it’s always the same people shouting “Nigerian engineers no sabi work.”

Innovation without integrity becomes deception.
And bandwagon isn’t always bad; if it’s following the proven path of safety, quality, and durability.

Best is to share live location on whatsapp with a close friend or relatives. No one is to be trusted anymore. Most especially contacts from Online.



gbadexy:
Different people are viewing posts with various reasons.
I tell client to give specific address, not vague description like near one tree or when you get to so place call. One should be able to go there any time earlier to observe the area before the appointment.
I tell painters I send for inspection to call me when they get there and when they leave. Even this isn't foolproof against kidnappers for ransom but having known address and phone number by a third person would help monitor movement and assist tracking.
All in all, we pray for God's protection always.

Imagine as a government employee you came on a public platform to advertise yourself as a PR agent. Only in Nigeria, as a government employee in the west, if I dare come to a public platform to expose some government procedures that alone is a jail term, talk less of fast tracking the government procedures asking for PR. Where is the moral in us as citizens?

just yesterday a client asked me to come to his office so he can see and trust me. Its just 30minutes from me yet i billed him 20k for me to come. He started blowing grammer than is it not here to here, bro if u can’t pay then go!!! Never ever go to meet a client without the inspection fee, his transaction on record is an evidence should anything happen.
