May God bless you! Egunmogaji just comment and move on these days...definitely avoiding certain things.

Some of us just don't post or comment on threads...we observe...

"He who comes to equity must come with clean hands."

I am glad he was corrected then and he has adjusted, and I believe Cash will also adjust.

"Common sense" isn't common, because if it was common and cheap, the solar-artisan wouldn't be referring to someone he hasn't met or have any dealing with as "that guy" and, telling fellow human that hasn't offended him to "use common sense" on a thread that is NOT his own.

It just further validates what i wrote earlier.

As for you Adeedward, you have my full attention. Your cup will soon be full!
you are just blabbing .. continue your ranting na you sabi

The old timers have completed their builds and moved on.
Many are silent observers, some seek information and disappear.
The most important thing is that people can still get necessary information if asked.
If you notice increased activity, just know there is a drama going on. Many people you think are no longer here would come out showing that even the old timers still observe silently.
You are absolutely correct!

Many choose not to comment...I know a couple of old timers that are disdained by what is going on here.

But like you rightly pointed, many are still learning from this thread.

I am a big fan of you, and your posts (videos). The color mixes, the finish and your honesty.

the economy is no joke. Lots of projects are on pause
True.

The economy and cost of things are flying beyond reach.

Don't you think people generally slow down during raining season, with respect to building projects?

I personally think unmotorable locations (sites) also play a role.

Hello Electricians in the house. I was given the below quote for electrical wiring in my ongoing 6 bedroom duplex with an ante room, main living room and two small family living area. Kindly assist to help me scrutinize the quote as I think the person that connected me to the electrician might have told him to inflate the quote. Your response will help me a lot.

Damn the quantity is way too high! What does he want to do with all these cablehuh

And also quoted wrong cable size for most of fbe items

1.5mm for sockets?


2.5mm for heater and AC?

What type of CCTV cable us he buying for 160k? And he will use 3 coil?

This quantity can wire two duplexes..

Hello house. I just got building approval from Ogun state government for my 3-bedroom bungalow house in one of the estates at Mowe.

I need a trustworthy, reliable builder that lives within. I will provide the building plan and you'll give me a quote.

I don't have money to build at once. I will build at my pace. So I need someone that's experienced and does not live too far away from Mowe.

A recommendation of a suitable builder in the thread will also be appreciated.
Congratulations, bro. Do you mind sharing the process through which you got your building plan approval, as well as the cost implication? If you are not comfortable sharing this online, I would appreciate if we can connect on whatsapp. Also, did you have to get any local government stacking/building permit from Obafemi-owode LGA?

As for your request, please reach out to Engr Shola on 080-643-873-69. He will bring your architectural plan to life

1. Quote is very outrageous
2. He's probably incompetent if he's tryna use a 1.5mm cable for socket points.

Overall. Get a real professional

All the people that dropped comments are all right but let look at it this way.

If the client is buying inverter AC and the distance from DB to each AC unit is not far or more than 10m. I will surgest 2.5mm cable is very much okay. But if the client is yet to decided on the type AC units is installing, the 2.5mm can be changed to 4mm.
The size of cable as specified in the IEEE regulation is 4mm for the conventional type of AC. Also, the new design of AC units these day is energy efficient.

For the water heater 2.5mm cable is pretty much okay.

If the project is East, the best cable in those area is Cutie and it's very good and expensive. Cutix cable and Nigerchin are of the same quality.

2.5mm cable is for sockect, let the electrician change the size.

Let him include 1.5mm cable to the lighting cables for the mains coming from the ditribution board and 1mm can be use for looping.

Seeing the floor plan or electrical design drawings will help us give the estimated quanties of cables required. Our brothers from east like building mansion. I have a project in Anambra presently and I know the reason why I said mansion.

I'm building inside an estate. I doubt those local government people disturb inside the estate. I'm not so sure.

It costs approximately 1.7 million.

I'm currently already engaged with some engineers. Let me see how things go.

Are you building inside an estate? And which axis of Mowe

Does anyone have an idea about SPC flooring? I am considering using it for my living room area in the house I'm building but I don't know how durable they are compared to normal ceramic tiles. I like the aesthetics of it but I'll like to know if it's of same durability as tiles or better. I'm not laying it on top of tiles. Please, any input will be appreciated.
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by gbadexy(m): 2:32pm On Jun 09
I present to you another innovative product from regal paint: Regal fire retardant coating.
It's effective on any combustible materials and prevent inginition, combustion and spreading of flame.
This is another reason to patronise us for your quality painting needs.
From confirmed eggshell matte still looking new over 10 years to the only known water repellent matte paint.
We understand the business of proper chemical formulations to give you quality products.
Below are practical demonstrations of the products on various easily combustible materials and wood.
It would increase the resistance of p.o.p casting and plaster to fire and prevent the falling apart of the p.o.p after releasing it's water of crystallization with formation of glassy high temperature coating holding it together and protection the building from structural weakness.
It serves dual purpose of wood treatment against termites and rots in roof woodwork. The most important combustible material that can bring a whole house down once ignited.

Fire retardant coatings are passive fire fighting and the one with the least damaging effect.
Prevention is the best form of fire fighting.

Making choices is easy. Living with the consequences of our choice is the most difficult part.

Nigeria's experience with poor leadership choices always remind me that the true cost of a decision is often paid long after it is made.

Wishing everyone the very best.

SPC is durable and aesthetically pleasing but to answer the Bolded! Tiles wins in durability, Lifespan (last longer).

SPC is easier to install than tiles.

If I'd recommend to you!. Just go for Tiles excellent in high traffic areas.
