Thanks Oga Kenny

Thanks @EgunMogaji for the recommendation.
But I don't know that other one you're taking about ;DD

Been away a little. Had to cope under pressure and subtle threats while hoping for conscience and God to prevail. We live and learn everyday through not so good experiences.

Today, I thought about how to prevent these petty thieves / burglars. Their modus operandi includes cutting your window net, and using one of their devices to steal phones n laptops while you're fast asleep courtesy of juju.

The idea I had was that we could join iron net together with the mosquito net and make it into one single unit. the boys use blades. The iron net can only be cut with a plier which would be difficult and take more time. Will put it into practice soon.

Oga Adeekiti, this can work right?

In the name of all that is holy please consider escape fire escape though may our portion not involve fire IJN.

Oga kola, it should work.. We will just glaze the both nets to the frame, It will work. oga egun it's only God that can keep everyone safe. Even if we use barb wire to secure ones window, it might not even stop any of their wicked act ..

what I believe is that ones safety begins with every precautions taken by not exposing ur properties to outsiders, keep all electronics away from outsider's sight/reach, keep your indoor activities quiet and be conscious of how you talk abt money/ bussiness on phone when you are indoor and outdoor as most burglars/thieves operates on informations, be security wise that's all boss . May God protect us all

Safety starts from having a spacious compound. Thieves don't like operating in an environment where they can be easily seen.

I'll never forget how a family of 3 lost their lives in fire outbreak in a house in bodija, ibadan after returning home from 18 years sojourn in Canada.

Good luck guys.

I'll go to church on Sunday but will never have an unopenable burglary proof in my house. It makes no sense at all.

They die here from that too.

Some additional ideas to the ones that I shared previously and please none of the US/UK vs Nigeria stuff. It's getting old. If it can survive the harsher weather/temps in US then it can survive in Nigeria if the proper materials are used.

Trellidor.com (a nigeria based company) do a lot of this modern security barriers. Though they serve a particular niche and the cost is NOT so pocket-friendly yet.

Working with them on clearguard security screens.

Trellis Door is not a Nigerian based company, someone just has a dustributorship hence the high price. Everything might be imported from South Africa.

Muyesky, AdeEkiti and co needs to break away from the regular humdrum, seize the day, embrace these modern technologies and lead their industry.

I can already hear the comebacks, "Oga Egun how many Nigerians can afford your budget".

Well, figure out how to bring quality materials to the market at decent prices and folks will line up to buy.

^^^

Thanks for the correction. A lot of these solutions/technologies are already here with us but most of the people holding the franchise are not doing so much marketing the products or maybe a lot of service provider are satisfied with conventional methods of getting things done.

Trellidor have done a lot of installation in Lagos that I've personally witnessed. They're so beautiful.

Sir , we can only offer what our customers want, we are only giving out what our customers wants according to their budgets

I was with a client yesterday and she has a budget which is very low compare to her taste but she knows her taste is higher than what she can offer, I will be installing her sliding dis weekend.. That's because the big clients have their own taste and budget different from other people

Let me add here, when you say U only give out waht your customers want, leaves them no choice, why not give them choice ie the good, the bad and the urgly,so if one knowingly buys the cheapest crapest one so be it,you might not know the customers worth, he/she might think what you have is all there is to it in what you sell not knowing there are far more better qualities out there in the product you sell.
The watch word should be Honesty and opness,show all diff brands and quality to your customer let them make the choice according to thier want and pockets+bank size

Good this is the point people borrow money to complete or U grant credit facilities at interest.

It's not even about the quality of materials but about the foreign modern ways of Aluminium fabrication and designs, the comments were based on leaving the familiar nigerian designs and moving to the foreign styles which the cost is different from what we are familiar with in Nigeria, clients are in different categories, the ones who are ready to spend any amount to get a different designs(foreign designs)c talking about materials here , as for me I don't use low standard materials for my clients , there are good materials in the markets, nigalex, tower Eco, thick imported,tower standard which can always work at different rates, my clients will choose from any of these..there is no hidden secret abt my services and as u said honesty is what is required but it's so surprising that the way a lot of people package their services will make u trust them than the ones who even offer good services but yet nigerians prefer packaged services.

We can't rush the development system in the building sectors in nigeria, if we had to then why are we not building houses with woods ? The problems that most builders face is because u want to give ur client a foreign taste and to the end of the day , u won't be able to meet up your clients's budget and that's when they try to adjust and they start facing issues with their clients, 97% of houses built in Nigeria still follows thesame building designs/patterns you have everywhere even on the windows and other things u find in a building, it's left to the client to decide what he/she wants and they both work on pricing but I will be honest here even the big men will always want to adjust on prices, this is nigeria and we know how the money is been made and we all want to spend according to our budgets.

Let me try and understand you,you want to do a window frame with ali,Nigerian one done with 5 tone of Ali, and the UK one is also done with 5tone ali same material diff design, the UK o ne cost more than the Nigerian one right, what's the diff?craftsmanship?Labour or design

Oga Adeekiti,

All construction companies and service providers needs to market themselves effectively and do everything to differentiate their services from the competition in order to stand a much better chance of driving qualified new business.

By specifically serving a particular niche within the wider market, you'll have the opportunity to own your market space. It doesn't have to be rushed but let people know you for something different.

Just yesterday, a client asked me if a bi-folding patio doors is possible in our ongoing project. If I restrict myself to what majority has to offer, I'll suggest a sliding door to him or tell him we haven't got there yet.

Thanks for the first and second line, well, the last one is ur probs , u are an expert english teacher bro

Of course, it's my problem and it didn't come to me as a surprise. Since I've clearly identified my target niche, I already knew I have to roll up my sleeves and get to identify and forge strategic partnership with companies and individuals whose vision and goals align with my profile. We don't have to do all jobs.

Do you know why I like Skimanski? His name always come up in every discussion I have with my prospective clients! That tells me something. Don't worry.

To my bro Skimanski, respect and keep the good work going.

modified bro, thanks and I will take to your advice

I give up.

Amen. The window concept doesn't not in any way add to the "barrack-ness" of the house. But it might restrict air flow. I like the concept of the sliding burglary proofs and it should be made to have a hook. If not, thieves will open d window, then open the burglary, then enter inside your crib.

@Adeekiti you should introduce the concept to some of your designs so we can see it in practice.

Ok boss , I appreciate and thanks for your encouragement sir. Cheers boss

The ones that I've seen have two levels.

Level 1 does have two hooks into the bar that the lock secures to.

Level 2 has those and then two vertical poles that slid into the top and bottom like a safe.

This is the appropriate tires with proper threads for delivery vehicles (our material delivery trucks of our sites).

First one is the steering axle and the second one is the driving axle, notice the thread patterns.

Next time you see a truck on the road just take a quick look at the threads.

For responsible gun owners who consider a firearm as part of reasonable home defense, here's the Nigerian gun law.

We are trying Our best ooo. Learning A lot here man.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a water storage tank on a decked platform in the roof of a building?

Brilliant, Boss!

That retractable Burglar-proof is the bomb!

I am installing at least one, in every flat, even for my tenants.... at no cost to them.


I am sure l can devise a means of welding a Keylock to it so that it can be locked and easily opened from inside only...especially during emergency!

We will simply remove the fixed ones currently in use and replace them with this.


Cheers for springing this idea here.


Lastpage!

Edit: I dont think l need the "big price" Company to do this for me, that retractable mesh itself is available in the market and is used in lock-up shops, e.t.c. ..................cut to size and welded with a lock. Finito!
