Can someone recommend a good roofing company in the southeast?

Why are agents selling so lower on roofing materials? I was once directed to a company and the price they are selling is more than a 1000 naira per square meter.

A few people or roofers are selling much lower in comparison to the company? Why is that so?

Martialfc80:
Good morning great minds. Please can anyone help with the best bond I can use to make this toilet still without shaking when sat on?

I got a plumber to remove the old unit and install this new one but I'm quite disappointed at his job. He used a tube silicone (I think it has a blue label) but the toilet wobbles. Can't say whether it's the material or he's just not good at it.

I've watched a few YouTube videos about how it's installed so I plan on scraping this one off and doing it all over again. But please, what bond is best for this purpose? Thank you sirs.

I will keep saying it in emphasis, '99.9% Nigerian Artisans don't know how to fix toilet seats'.

Travel and see for yourself.

They will do some serious calculations to gain from other aspects like labour, accessories and manipulation of total dimensions .
It could also be that when they are given like 10% rebate from the company, they share it with the customer in form of discount.
For instance, on a total of #3M , if the company gives 10%, that would be 300k . The agent could give the client a discount of 100k . So the client pays #2.9m (instead of #3m) but #2.7M actually goes to the company. Agent still gained #200k. This is money the agent will never get if he is not smart enough follow this strategy.
Win win for everyone.
Remember that most companies do not want deal with individuals because of technical issues that might warrant return or going back and forth . These issues have implications in terms of damage, cost of restocking and transporting back the items.

When it comes to building construction, flooring is often one of the most overlooked but important aspects. I’ve noticed that getting professional help makes a big difference, especially with precision work. For example, I’ve recently been checking out floor tiling services in Lichfield, and it’s clear how much skill goes into ensuring durability and a clean finish. A good tiler can really transform a space and add long-term value to the property.

What do you all think - do you prefer hiring specialists for flooring, or do you usually go the DIY route?

Hello everyone, I'm here again for advice. Thanks for your continous support.

I have a renovation project for an old building bought last year. To be converted to a modern style storey building consisting of 4 2-bedroom flats and 2 one room self contain.

After months of several bureaucratic hurdles, the project started approximately in April this year. The engineer I used for this project was brought by my mum who knew him because he had done similar project in our area. When I was in Nigeria in February, I met him and discussed with him and he was of the opinion that the project is something that can be completed in 3 months. I told him that's ok but I'm not in a Rush and I will continue the work until a stage I can afford.

Agreed payment mode for the engineer was 20k per day. Before leaving Nigeria, I asked him for a list of what will be done at each stage and time period. He gave me the list we discussed and agreed on things that Will be done in first month.

After returning to my base, I realized the project was moving really slow, even my mum who brought the engineer complained of the engineer of having few workers. April and May went by without much work done, only significant thing completed was the roofing, of which it was my mum who brought the carpenter for the work.

So before June , I asked the engineer to provide a list of what Will be done in June and the finances required. He sent it and I gave an ok to it. Until now, we are still on the stage of arranging blocks, demarcation of flats and construction of staircase. We are almost at the end of August we are still on that.

Last week, I was angry and I asked my mom to forward my voice note to the engineer where I stated that I was not satisfied with the speed of work of the engineer. The reply by the engineer was that "oh, renovation work is not rushed" "We should start buying materials for other stages like windows, doors, electrification and plumbing" even though he's not done with the demarcation of flats, talk less of plastering. There was no sense of responsibility or accountability from his end at all.

It's not like the there's no money to Start buying materials for the next stage. But at least Work should get to some level First before we start with that. I'm really frustrated with the project right now, because I can't plan for anything else because of it. I don't have direct contact with the engineer. My mum does.

I will like to ask your opinion on this. Is this normal pace? And also I'm at the Stage of wanting to change the engineer, do you think it's something I can do easily. Please note that this engineer was the one who handled most bureaucracy required for the project. I'm just really frustrated and feel tied down by the project. I wish to reach a stage of the project that I can finance and plan for something else with my life.

Please Note: We have only paid the engineer for 2 and half months of work. Even though we are Still on the stage we planned for first month.

This engineer is milking you for all the milk you can make. I remember you talking about your dad not in support of you making the purchase.

Anyways, I will suggest you pick an engineer from this thread and give him the job. You can easily drag him publicly here and get accountability.

As it is now, you have zero leverage over the guy and if you don't cut him off,he will continue being a heavy pest

In the civil engineering trade, it is always not a good idea to pay for labour on a daily basis. You pay 20k per day. So for 25 working days, you pay One Million just for arranging and re-arranging blocks. This is not a wise decision at all. By adopting this unwise payment method, there is the temptation for the contractor to milk the job for all it's worth. This is what I suspect is happening. If you must pay per day, you must have a Key Performance Indicator to determine the level of work achieved for the day. This will be difficult as your mum is effectively the project manager and you are overseas with no direct contact with the engineer. You have gone about this very wrong. You need to change tack.

What is the quality of job done so far? Is the engineer knowledgeable? If you are happy with the quality of the job done, you should let the engineer know that you are not happy with the pace of work as against the payment method. Ask them to break down the whole job stage by stage and to submit a labour only quote for each job. You will reach agreement for the supply of materials separately.

Look for two or three other similar quotes and then you compare. If the engineer is not competitive, don't hold back in letting them go. These things are not done by daily pay. You pay by milestone.

From my understanding of this write up , it's clear your agreement with the Engineer through your mum is just verbal.
I remember when you brought up this issue sometime and many rendered their opinions/advice with I included.
If the engineer is still on first stage work in the second month then you'll have to go hard on him otherwise you may still be on that project till December and nothing to show forth because it's the engineer who would be cashing out from the daily payments as agreed.
You need to tell your mum to be hard and firm on him. Let him stick to his schedule of works to be achieved very fast.
I can't think of any better thing now than for you to start paying him #10,000 per day till he completes both stages of work he is indebted to. You have to do a renegotiation on his daily rate and cut it down or let him come up with a default penalty since he has not met up his words with actions on the project.

With respect to the bolded, he or his mum should know that it does not require the engineer to be on site except there are other real engineering jobs being carried out on the site that requires his supervision and over seeing.
