As you’re gathering skills, gather confidence too.
Because without confidence, you’ll just sit on your talent, watching lesser-skilled people get paid, get noticed, and get results.

Funny enough, people have been calling me 'proud guy' lately.
But if confidence in my own ability offends you, maybe low self-esteem is your real problem. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I’ve worked hard to build what I know.
So yes, I talk with chest. Because confidence is not pride, it’s clarity.
Clarity about who I am, what I bring to the table, and what I’m worth.

Gather your own. It’s part of the package.

Hello, Good day everyone. I just got a message from my engineer that LAWMA placed a contravention notice on the site and that they are requesting for payment of 300,000 naira within 7 days. This doesn't really makes sense to me and sounds ridiculous. Please is this the normal practice and is this how it's done. Can someone please advise or give opinion on this.

My understanding of the situation from what I Read online is that we should find a PSP service for disposal and have an agreed feequent time for the disposal.

But my engineer is not agreeing with my understanding. I told him LAWMA is not a revenue collection agency.


Please someone help shed light on this. Thanks. Please find attached the pasted notice even though it's not really visible.
This is an ILLEGAL notice.

I can tell you with 100% certainty.

You are being taken advantage of by your engineers and supervisors.

Someone in your employ is letting people know that the owner is abroad and so they are just billing you needlessly. Waste collection is done by PSPs licensed by LAWMA, and they bill each house based on occupancy

LAWMA does not collect construction waste Period!!! I was even begging my PSP operator to take 4 bags of plaster screed scraping last month. they refused

As long as your construction materials are not outside your premises. they have no business with you and you have your building permit. Worst case scenario is that the local government can come and ask for stacking permit, if you unload sand, gravel or bricks outside your house, but LAWMA has nothing to do with nothing

my 2 cents.

If the area is not water logged, 15 blocks of 9' should suffice for each corner, ensure it is plastered afterwards for longevity. ₦50k should cover each corner.
If it's water logged, you will be casting the corner pieces.
You mean 200k for the four (4) corner piece.

Hello guys. Please I need a recommendation for an already made Screading material.
Or the best thing to use since I've read here that POP and cement is not that good.

Not considering price but something that will give a good result.

There are exceptionally good screeding putty prepared with anti fungi properties that also inhibit mold and rising damp growth. The best i have used is from wichtech paint called exterior screeding plaster, and second is from double design paint. Both companies have for interior and exterior spaces. Both screeding putty also stop the further expansion of airline cracks.

TOPIC : WATER BOREHOLE DRILLING IN NIGERIA

U don't have to pay us before we come to site but U will pay us on a stage to stage step ONCE we are on site for each stages

Stage 1- Geophysical survey
Stage 2- water borehole drilling and casing
Stage 3- solar or electric installation

🔍 Significance of a Geophysical Survey in Water Borehole Drilling

Conducting a geophysical survey is a critical first step in ensuring the success, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of any borehole drilling project. Here's why it's essential:

1. 🎯 Precise Drilling Location
The survey helps identify the most suitable point to drill by detecting underground water-bearing formations. This minimizes guesswork and ensures that drilling is done exactly where water is most likely to be found, reducing the risk of dry wells.

2. 📏 Accurate Drilling Depth
By analyzing subsurface layers, the survey determines how deep the borehole needs to go to reach a reliable aquifer. This prevents unnecessary over-drilling and helps optimize resources.

3. 🛠️ Determining Borehole Type
Different geological conditions require different borehole designs. The survey reveals the nature of the subsurface—whether it's rocky, sandy, or clay-rich—so we can choose the appropriate drilling method and casing materials for long-term durability.

4. 💰 Cost Estimation
With detailed data from the survey, we can provide a realistic and accurate estimate of the total cost of the borehole project. This includes drilling depth, materials, labor, and equipment, helping you plan your budget effectively.

📄 What Happens After the Survey?

Once the geophysical survey is completed, a comprehensive report will be provided in softcopy format. This report includes:

- Geological findings
- Recommended drilling depth
- Borehole design specifications
- Cost estimate

With this report in hand, we can proceed to the drilling phase, ensuring a smooth and successful operation.

Regal paint by gbadexy is not a joke!

I have countless screeding putty application and one still being applied presently but this is iconic.
We did the application and it was left unpainted for 6 years. People around there use the house as reference by calling it white house.
We went back to do the painting 6 years later.
Till this very moment, I'm still friends with the client and communicate and discuss on various things.

I still think the 'send down the rain roof' is the best roofing design, but the problem is our architects are not versatile with ideas or concepts to use them more often. Well done Sir.

If aesthetics is priority; flat/hidden roof works, but budget for thick guage aluminium longspan , proper slope, and strict maintenance.

If low maintenance is priority; hip roof is safer, though less “modern” visually.
But if saving cost is the reasoning you're opting for flat roof, not advisable....
