I thought it looked simpler than some of the elaborate ones I saw on my welders display. All the exterior doors on the Garage Apartment have the same design to match.

Thanks.

My people, I beg to differ slightly on this.

There is a lot of difference in cement quality in Nigeria and there has been too much said about it by professional bodies and even government regulators on the official level. It was because of the low quality of some cement that some changes were made in terms of grading cement according to classes we see on the bags, the 3x and 3.2 x (etc) we see on cement bags was meant to reassure users and create a better quality acceptable to SON and other agencies.

But we on the ground have no laboratories to test cement and we cannot tell when a big cement manufacturer chooses to reduce their quality output to the detriment of consumers. It would have been better to bring all the cement brands and test them in labs but we don't have that opportunity now. This is why I stick my ears to the ground and go along with local block makers. Any cement they use to make blocks seems to be better as it yields more good blocks because of its quality.

For now, no block maker in my area uses Dangote cement to make blocks, they prefer Ibeto cement brand (but this is not readily available everywhere and costlier than others). Another cement they buy always is BUA cement, followed by Elephant supaset. These cement are usually more expensive than Dangote and Unicem cement.

As at this morning, my dealer is selling thus;

Dangote 3.2 - N2,200
Unicem - N2,200
Elephant green label - N2,200 (they don't sell it in the east now, replaced by Unicem)
Elephant supaset (Orange label ) - N2,280
Ibeto - N2,400 (Not in Stock)
BUA - N2,250

. The most common reason why block moulders use ibeto and bua cement is because it takes a short time duration for the blocks to set when compared to using other brands of cement. As regards quality of all brands of cement put in comparison I can't say but when it comes to construction i'd prefer any brand of cement as long as it's the black type.

Yes. Log on with your Computer, put the username and password... and when it ask you to "Refresh" just hit F5 on your keyboard.
I have tried this many times on my phone or Ipad, with no luck. I had to do it on my Computer. Hope it worked for you, let us know.
I have helped many people with this and it has worked... but nothing is guaranteed in life.

Cement strength is usually compromised when it sets faster than normal though good for business a turnover

Hello House

I've been searching for rent-to-own schemes in Lagos but I haven't found any (except for Lagos HOMS). Are there any private developers who have such schemes with high quality construction ?

Thanks in advance

Good evening house, can I get a outline cost for setting up a foundation for a twin 3 bedroom flat. Location Benin city.

EgunMogaji:


Do you mind doing some explanation.

Thanks.

Cement comes in 2 colours, white and black (Not necessarily in colour per se) but you'll notice the difference in colour. Most sellers do not actually know this. Just go to any cement store and look out from dangotes' cement from 2 different plants. You can also see it in BUA cement. Those are the cement i've used on a regular basis.

[quote author=katcy4christ post=52786633]Good evening house, can I get a outline cost for setting up a foundation for a twin 3 bedroom flat. Location Benin city. Having a plan of the house will make it easier for costing/estimate. But your expenditure on it should be around #2.5M. Contact me via 08039387432 on whatsup/calls for further discuss.

I last bought cutix cables just before Christmas, and 1.5mm was selling for N7,500, 2.5 for around N13, 200, 4mm is around N19,500 while 6mm was sold for about N37,000. 10mm is about N49,000.

I bought from the key distributor in Anambra State. The price may have risen again. Price increases in this country every week.
