I will pay for 65blocks only.
That has been the agreement with my bricklayer.

Wow
Well I guess you have fixed bricklayers you work with even outside you locality.....
However in brick laying, laying header's are more difficult than stretcher's..

Now on a lighter note, ensure you are always on site o less you come back and see something like this

i'm not expert in this field for sure, and i can only trust the governing structure which oversee the whole process. after all, building something like parc clematis is a large scale project. safety is always the top notch concern when coming to building construction.

Hello, How much do you pay per block laid in Lagos?

diordaves:


This is what I'm used to over the years, from Delta to Lagos to Ibadan. Half blocks are paid for. The counting method is the blocks laid and not the block supplied. Na to draw rain with my bricklayers be that then.

joycluv:
OK. Thanks

I don’t see anything wrong with this as long as the lintel is resting on pillars at each end.

Pls house.... painting of ceiling before tilling or tilling before painting of ceiling, which one should come first?

The choice is yours. You can paint the ceiling before tiling or you can tile before painting. If you need professional painters and paint screeders call 07088547073, 07051934963

True, only @ that point(position)


But @ any other point, it's not acceptable, even if the lintel is transferring loads to columns.

The bricklayer wouldnt have gone wrong if he had splitted the brick thus

@ house
What's the cheapest way of buying 400-500 bags of cement for a project. The small retailers are quoting 2,600 but I believe I can get it at a better price considering the number

True.

But to be frank I’ve seen such work on the work of the darling sons of this thread

probably N50 difference tho...even some of these small retailers are selling re-bags. ... I'm sure you should get a good supplier here...

What is wrong with the picture?

2 half blocks will be even more unstable since only the center portion of the block will be removed.

What i will ask my brick layer to do is lay 2 blocks at a time not the entire 5.

The brick layer would be wrong to split any block.

There's nothing wrong there. That lintel is not even resting on the blocks.

Please can anyone recommend a Good Mason or Bricklayer that can work at any state here for me ?
We are doing counting blocks
And almost 12,000 blocks to work with .
Thanks .

I'm a good masonry, and I have other guy's we work together and we work anywhere once is accessible, u can count on us and we promise not to disappoint you whatapp/call 08186155376

Contact distributors directly. That way you remove middle-men that are not vested and offer you nothing other than placing a phone call on your behalf.
You'll get good deal starting from 300 bags upwards. if you push it to 600 bags then even better.

Where is your location? Which brand of cement do you want? I can share some of the contacts i use often with you.

You should establish direct contact with two or three distributors for redundancy sake.

good luck.

Where is your location? I know you can work anywhere but where are you based?

How much do you charge per block for block setting?

Yeah... I was thinking about same thing.
Location is Kaduna town. I'm not so particular about the brand but would prefer Dangote.
I was looking at getting a trailer or half but don't know how to go about it

Perfecttouchade:

N50 would not be worth the stress and risk. I was thinking buying in bulk should give a significant difference per bag which when multiplied by say 500 bags should be a good sum

jedisco:

since the location is in kaduna, you should get a better bargain price and a trailer load should be cheaper. Most of these small reatailer even get it at a good price and they just attach their orders with other buyers despite most of their orders are not even up to full truckload

Thought as much... Any idea how I can go about this?

I think Obajana kogi State should be the best place u can get your orders at least u should get it at N2,400+plus for the truck load ,that's a price of each bag and u will definitely get a good supply (full bag not the re-bags)...

Thanks. But Obajana is far and not feasible for me. I was thinking of asking a major distributor around if he could help with the arrangement

that's also fine but get like 2 different distributor to enquire from so that u can go for the best price, I'm sure u might get different prices..I hope you understand what I mean sir. Or if by any opportunity u are able to meet one of the drivers who deliver for those distributor, that's ok too
