Sir with due respect,u should advise him to never call people names at any slightest provocation, calling me a scammer and prostitute is uncalled for . Its humiliating and should be addressed . How in the world did i scam him , he can't even bring a prove to justify it but running from pillar to post to cover up his nasty outburst .

He didnt request for money as he said in the forum to give my details so he can send me quote . I gave him d details and he sent for me freely . I just dashed him the 10k to encourage him as a young hussling guy. We still talk and he wants to visit my site to see how am doing it. I will recommend him to people that may need his services in future. Even if u want to start , just save up and start with ur little budget , cos if ur looking at quote ,u will get HBP even before the project kick start. The bill can be discouraging and prices difference is much now as compared to quote done.Note : my current builder charged me 15k for QS

Mo gbe!! What a QS 10k under this sun? Dogs eat Dogs in Nigeria. Very funny. I like this your method ooo, but not like that in Uk & USA in business. Let's appreciate profession of people & encouraged them, they study it, earn it, they should get lively wood from it... Be wise in your expenditure, make you no label Ajah people as poor/rich that can't help.

Considering that I only view this thread, i doubt i have ever commented I will say this.

A woman has been called a prostitute, scammer and all what's not for a deal that didn't go through.

I wonder what will happen if commitments have been made, papers signed and serious issues arise. I was actually thinking it was something else when I saw the accusations. I have read more serious client contractor issues here.

Mr Dennis3D I will tell you from a neutral point of view, your handling of this was very wrong.

A lot of people would be very weary of contacting you for a job.

You are accusing her for not giving you a job and hurling such insults on her person even going as far as calling her a criminal that's very very low.

LOL. The size and height of a kingpost is determined by the area and size of the building.

I did a building in Lakowe golf course on my thread for 18fit kingpost.

Building dimension is 14m x 26m.


What is the normal kingpost for 46ft/100ft ?

Good evening professionals,

Please how many bags of cement would be needed for plastering of a room measuring 4x3.5m?

How much do bricklayer charge for workmanship for plastering?

How do bricklayer charge for flooring of a building?

Thanks in advance

Dennis3D:


Depending on the wall height. Roughly 2 - 3Bags is OK. But if decking is included. It would be more than that. On normal level. 2 brick layers and 1 labour can do it.

On a worst case scenario, a brick layer can do it alone by himself and take the money for the two.

I hope you understand what is stated here.

Average charge is 8K as you have it. The skill of the bricklayer and finishing touch makes the difference too also how the walls are built on also determines the amount of materials to use. What I stated is the standard should everything be rightly done.

saydfact:


8 bags (1:4 mix used)

What is going on here?

2-3bags? - Dennis3D
8Bags? - Sadyfact

Sadyfact, are you sure of that figure? (Four Walls of the Room.)

So many pages wasted for nothing. I thought I was going to see a case of fraud or that the lady used stolen works online.
In this life you win some and lose some .
Oga die the matter since you not follow ; with this information that the lady brought out that it was all because of cost (pricey) ; I will say in my opinion that you have no right to call her scammer .
Most people on this thread may have read between the lines and may not want to contribute/ say anything to hurt people feelings .
But let us try and do something right sometimes

I was also thinking that the woman has cheated him somehow
The guy was the one shouting all over the place and calling out the Woman and acting like he has catch the people who loot Central bank, not knowing that he is just a joker. Imagine, calling the woman a prostitute over nothing, God safe you say nor be my wife na for inside Cell you for sleep because l will snap that page and my lawyer will be on it with the Police. he even said he consulted with some Elders and Moderators of this thread and those ones ask him to come here and be shouting? I hope they are the same people also telling him it is okay or defending him? Hypocrites and Pretenders. and the same Dennis3D said 2-3bags of cement will plaster four walls of 4m x 3.5m, just imagine the quack engineer?
wasted about four pages just abusing the woman as if he is a tout. Nonsense, she shoudl come and pay 400k yet you cant do submission at Alausa! baarawo.

To clear the air more time. This time with my call with her husband last night before all this started. Again with the permission of the admins here.

Point 1: She claimed we never agreed.
Point 2: All she have said to me as confirmed by her husband is that they haven't started her job.
Point 3: My borehole installer did her borehole as one of the preliminaries before work starts. If she doubts it. I will still drop the evidence now.

Since many are quick to conclusion without asking the right questions and seeking for an apology.

Point 4: I will release another voice note from a reputable contractor here she contacted too and didn't use which no one is disputing she didn't have the right to.

What she did do, she is deceitful and that should be the watch word here, not saying I called her names as many are keen to look away from her numerous insults before I responded to her.

If you care to listen to her husband's admission last night then click this link. You will hear it yourself.

Again, this project as she had ever admitted as well as her husband have not started. They are still waiting for Omonile issue to be settled as well as rainy season.

Note I have done material schedule for her, connected her with suppliers who happen to resend her husband contact to me last night.

Thank God she admitted she has done the work.
Now it's up to the group members to ask the right questions.

Madam, so Stop making it look like I was after your job. No way. It's not a must for one do a job for anybody.

Am going to be dropping the voice call with another victim you coined into doing same thing for you and again you went on just like that.

So you should stop coming here to pick, use and dump people thinking you are smart. You are not. You are only making potential clients to find it difficult to get useful information and consultations here because of your act.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_zTHU84Ud4

You are just an arrogant person. You should be ashamed of calling yourself a professional. how did she use you? because you connect her to supplier? how much do you want for that if you are not just a hungry contarctor? grin Every contractor works hard to get a job, more than one contractor is bidding for a job but only one can get it. The rest will try again. that is how it is Bro.
why are you crying all over the place and promising to drop voice message for the past five pages? These Client are just trying to be nice to you and dont want to hurt your feelings because they might still have something to give you in future, that is why they did not tell you to clear-off and stop bordering them. you said you dont beg for job, why are you now bordering them over and over again? why dont you wait for them to be running after you, once they dont agree to your price? people here need to worry about giving job to you because you can post any confidential thing online, about the Client. Upon all, you call the woman all sort of name, people tell you to apologise to her you still doing stronghead like a goat?
even with all the packaging you are doing, you dont know that 2-3Bags of Cement cannot palster four walls with dimension of 4m x 3.5m? shame on you Bro. Client can work with any contractor they chose, as long as you have not started the job or sign any thing together. many people have advise you but you are stubborn and that is the sign of a fool. you are a drawing Architect, stop pretending you are a building engineer because you dont know anything about that profession and you are spoiling the work of real builders. i suspect the one or two houses that have mistakenly fall into your hand willneed to be inspected by the material testing people so that it does not collapse all of a sudden. Go and report yourself before it is too late

If you mean block setting, between 50 - 60 blocks.

Better to use the right word or common word for shared meaning... i can see that someone already took your choice of word of "block laying" to mean "block molding or block making" and answered you as such (correctly with block making numbers). Otherwise, you end up using the wrong information.

Good morning house, So a friend got this quote for the woodwork of the roofing of his project. He just recently discovered that his engineer has been steadily ripping him off by quoting excess materials up to this stage. I felt I should bring this here for proper vetting.

What is the normal kingpost for 46ft/100ft ?

If I get you correctly that's appropriately 14mx30m.

A Kingpost of 22 - 24Fit would do.
In my opinion.

Though I normally do 2D or 3D models of different kingpost Heights and review with clients before we finalize in some instance.

See this link below to view the one I did for a client here. Building width is 12m - Length is 26m. Kingpost Height there is 18Fit.

You answered it rightly. I didn't want to argue with the person calling out there because he never asked a mix ratio that got that. And maybe he forgot the line of where it was written for someone that expect to manage funds.

He also didn't see where I gave molding blocks quality levels and different quality.

1:6, 1:7 and 1:4 ain't the same.
Am sure he also forgot there are different grades and level of works in construction as a client can afford.

Clients that go for best quality, gets the results. Someone managing costs can't expect to beat the best quality.

Let me not go into standard concrete mix and the likes.

Someone that moulds block for 30 Per Bag, ain't the same with another that moulds 40 Per Bag unless he is saying all the clients here are using the same ratio then that's the best answer to the question.

You and saydfact got it very correct, just to buttress you guys point.

Rendering and plastering are almost same meaning but diff in site approach.

Rendering is mainly for external work which ration 1:4 is best for with 25mm thickness.

Plastering is mainly internal work which ratio 1:5-1:6 is best for and for such size of room the OP asked 3-4bags of cement will perfectly do the job which is standard when you LESS all the openings in the room plus waste.

I have come to realize some people come here just to talk the way they want. The simple thing to do is just ignore them. Simple.

Till they are on ground on site and see things unfold before their eyes.

For example the building I posted about Kingpost, we molded block for client with stone dust at 28 blocks per bag.

If I come here and tell OP here that 28 - 30 Blocks is ideal. OP would still complain. So there are different grades and quality of works for everyone.

Forgetting that plastering has different thickness level as a client can afford. Outside wall and inside ain't the same when it comes to finishing.
