You will kill that truck in no time, if it has to make three trips every week, to Kogi State and from Ogun state!
That is six times, from Ogun to Kogi state (one way), in one week!

Consider reducing the number of trips per week, and the consequent payout.

Why not used train to move those 90 tons or more 1 trip from Lokoja to Abeokuta or those little town along the way, then used truck to move them to Ewekoro.

Train can not get to the mining site, also considering double loading, double offloading expensive will be high, time aswell.

I dont think there is any conflict of interest here ...guys have a look at https://www.mybuilder.com/ it is not a new idea at all. I am just looking for a way to get good and quality builders. I believe all i want to do is to try and solve a problem that would benefit me as well.

One the other issue i find, how do you get reports from your builder especially for those in diaspora; imagine a platform where you can attached proof or purchases, building plans, pictures of completed work. You can also submit this for review by other people.

Well said,but not every contractor have the good idea you are trying to initiate but it a very welcome idea.as for me,i up dated my progress of work to my client in every stages of work with pictures,purchase reciept,materials..e.t.c to bring out trust and to keep relationship stable and steady,i do create whatsapp group chat based on the project which i will connect everybody attached to the work for update here is my sample below.so with this idea, you are very correct.

Is there invention of central cooling system (central air condition) in nigeria?

We are moving away from that in the USA. The split system is more effective.

kopell:
invention? This question is an insult to a country like Naija, all those big 10-20 or more story's buildings, government offices, including those mega malls, hotel complexes, movies theaters, etc. How did you think they get cooling? May be your question should be, where can you get one in Nigeria. My answer to that too is simple, everywhere.

In defense of the OP, we don't discuss such edifices on here, we talk mostly about SFR and small MFR.

My brother , I don't know how old are you. I can say one thing sha, the last link here is made in Nigeria product then. I know this very well, because my mom owned many of there product in 70s to 90s before they ruined the country, imagine if most of these things and many others are made in Nigeria then. You can see how much damage they did to our country. If said up to 93 Nigeria machine tools Oshogbo used to manufacture industrial machinery some people that may not know this will pick up arguments with me. Again go to FIEOR in Oshidi Lagos and see a lot of research that as been done since 70s on many products, minerals, and other technology in commercial quantity wasting in their lab. May God give us leaders with vision beyond stealing our common wealth.

I had liberty to semi tour the old Odutola Tires in Oke Ado, Ibadan a few weeks ago.

What we've lost in this country is staggering.

Aventures:
Sir, I think we are making a good headway with argument and the end thereof could possibly help all of us. As a matter of fact the profession saddled with the responsibility of standard charges is QS, if anyone tells you this is the standard charges may be try or false at least I know that the institute regulating QS profession in Nigeria normally publish a book for standard pricing and it is reviewed periodically as well.

But in your last paragraph, you gave a clue that I will appreciate a further clarification. Do you mean if a client request quote from for contractors he would pay each of the their charges for quote, and the one that wins the job will later be surcharged?

Thanks in anticipation.

Yes. But that fee itself can be negotiated and even free based on your voracity to be included in the bidding process.

I personally would never pay a QS, it's a waste of a service to me. A builder on the other hand needs one on hand like he needs oxygen.

So when I pay your estimate fees, you'll get together with your staff or retained QS and crunch numbers.

In an ideal setting, the difference should be really small between companies.

InvertedHammer:
Why not build your house?
1 week to learn masonry
2 weeks to learn carpentry
2 weeks to become iron bender
1 month in the gym for all the lifting and digging (foundation, concrete, cement,rods,etc)

2 weeks to be an electrician
2 weeks for plumbing.

All added together will be 3 months of preparation.
Then give the middle finger to contractors and artisans.

Many have done so.

All what you've said is what in Business School is called "operating environment". The harsher the operating environment, the higher the operating cost. Yes I admit that Nigeria is a harsh operating environment and the composition of the hostile environment includes the building contractor that steals from clients and not before. So when you list the components that make operational cost to be high, include the Nigerian building contractor. So the narrative should be: the environment is harsh because of the sharp practices of the building contractor and NOT the building contractor "eye tear" because light no dey. So if you want to build the electricity plant that will deliver power as clients are building homes for renting families, the contractor is there to hammer. At the end, there won't be power or homes as the case may be. Ask yourself, the factors you listed are prevalent in other African countries but series of studies have shown that contractors in other African countries "eye no tear" like Nigeria. Why? Why would it cost less to build same structure in South Africa, a country with similar income with Nigeria or even Gambia, Gabon, Kenya why? I know why........their eye no open.

Harsh operating environment is always overcome with the appropriate technology. All over the world, the business environment is harsh in peculiar ways. But contractors will invest in their business and internalise the right tools of the trade and technology to solve the problems the environment throws at them and pass such efficiency savings to clients in form of competitive advantage. But with the Nigerian contractor wussai? You meet a seasoned builder of donkey years in Nigeria, ordinary "tape rule" he doesn't have, even spirit level for where? so when you engage him for a simple project he invoice you for hiring shovel, headpan, GenSet, wheelbarrow, sledge hammer, drum, rope etc. HABA!! You are a builder and these are the tools of your trade to execute a project swiftly, efficiently and good cost for the client. You will be shocked how much the hiring of headpan "upandan" adds up at the end of the day. I have opened an invoice in the past for a 6 day project to find a bill of 13k for hiring of shovel. This can't be right. Please take the game to the next level and we the fee paying clients want to see that translate to dependability, cost and trust.

Kudos.

It is called scaffold because they are moveable. In fact that is the primary purpose of scaffold: up root and move when done. A safe scaffold is a safe scaffold. It has NOTHING to do with if you move it. In fact again, a scaffold you cannot move may not be save. The fact that you can transfer a scaffold to any section of the build doesn't mean it's not safe. A scaffold is safe and it is safe if properly done irrespective. It is good advice to know the appropriate level of scaffold needed for a particular job and invoice the clients accordingly. It is stealing to invoice the client for a heavy duty scaffold for a lightweight job. So if you as a contractor invoice a client for a heavy duty scaffold and truly use it for a lightweight job; it's still the same thing: you don't know what you are doing. You are not value for money.

I agree.

My current idol, an Aussie who is building his own house, moves his scaffolding.

Nigerians like to strike fear unnecessarily.

Not really. The advantage is if you plan on air conditioning a large area simultaneously due to economics of scale.

If areas need to be selectively air-conditioned, then a lot of energy will be wasted during the low demand period cause the compressor still has to run weather for cooling one room or the whole house.

Maintenance of the duct system is also challenging.

However as with all bigger machines, the bigger they are, the stronger and more rugged they are due to probably more sensors and safety controls

Empiree:

But you end up cooling/heating the whole house when all you might need is just the living and the bedroom.

Hello Hajj and everyone,
We just bought the PVC for ceiling but the carpenter is giving a price I believe is out of reach for 4 bedroom ensuite and little walk way. Is 150,000 not too much to install the PVC?. What should be a reasonable amount to pay.
