When you come to Berger Ajah where they are selling the sand, 30tons, of payloader will fill 2 china trucks and still remain.


the red truck in the middle is the china truck i am talking about,is on queue in Berger Ajah.

The payloader you see in this picture is what they use to sell the sand in Berger Ajah

The 30tons language is what supplier's use to sell to end user.





Maybe the 30 tons in Berger is different. I know my Mack truck will load 30 tons in Berger Sand almost 3 times.

For sharp sand, no china truck can carry 30tons.

2 of this will carry 30tons and the sand will even remain.

Less than 15tons, the 15tons of payloader in Berger will over fill the red truck.

And that 15tons is sold for 38k.

13.5 is sold for 33k

Your mack truck is smaller to compare china truck, that is why it will load it, 3times.

2 china truck will load 27tons.

Let me give you ideas.

I mistakenly ordered 200 tons to sandfill a compound in Lekki County. When we got to 120 + tonnes, I cannot but shout “Jesus is Lord”

What you’re seeing in the pic below is just a little over 120 tonnes.

Any reliable sharp sand supplier in Ile Ife - Osun State. Kindly let me know the price of your #Sharp Sand 20 Tons and 30 Tons.

Usually it's called 30tons, when supplying sand. Suppliers call it 30tons, builders, end users call it 30tons.

But where sand is been sold, 13.5 tons of payloader sold for 33k, will fill that truck to capacity.

30tons of payloader where sand is been sold, will fill 2 capacity of china truck and remain.

Let's not be confused with the terms tons and volume!
Ton is a measure of mass of a substance. Volume is a measure of space occupied by a substance.
The pictures showed that 30tons of sand and granite occupies same volume which is not possible.
30 tons of sand will occupy about 19 cubic meters or 19,000 ltrs of space (19 pcs of 1000 ltrs water tank).
30 tons of granite will occupy about 11 cubic meters or 11pcs of 1,000 ltrs of water tank).
So if thesame truck is bringing you equal volumes of sand and granite as 30tons, then the supplier is a cheat. 30 tons of sand is more than 30 tons of granite as seen by the naked eye.

OlaogunMichael:
Avoiding Land Scam.
How to verify if land in Lagos Or Ogun state, Nigeria is free from government acquisition before buying.
To avoid buying a land on government acquisition, follow the following steps
1.Contact a surveyor for his services
2.Surveyor will visit site to confirm documents available is the exact location, because land scammers are fond of giving clients documents to other area that is free from government acquisition or modify the plan at hand for their scam.
3.After confirming the location and acquiring land information by surveyor, then
4.Surveyor helps you chart if the area is free from government acquisition or not
5.A written or oral report is then delivered inclusive of surveyors’ recommendation.

My Recommendation :
Contact Land Surveyor Olaogun Michael Ekundayo On 09025234582
For Land Documentation and to check a land if fake or original before buying land or property.
To help you check land Survey if original or fake.
To check land title before you buy land and to chart land before you buy.
To check if land is free or not.
To help with land surveying in lagos, ogun or anywhere in Nigeria.
Hmmmm

Good morning everyone.
I've been following this thread for a while now and it has been helpful.
I need advice on what to do in this situation.
My landlord has increased my house rent and I have a 3bdrm bungalow at hand which I have roofed.
Now I have 1 million naira at hand. I want to ask the experienced ones here, is there a way to manage this money do I can move into the house. Thanks
how many entrance doors do you have at the building. I will advise that you use iron doors for all the house. They are cheaper and more durable. Each door below costs #18,000 for the single and #28,000 for the double door

Exactly sir. The specific gravity/ density is the main determinant of the volume.
A ton of sand would be more voluminous than a ton of gravel. Plaster sand that is finer would also have more volume than sharp sand of the same mass.

I took delivery of my 8cm interlocking molds few minutes ago. With production capacity of about 72sqm per day, we are sure of completing production within the next 8 working days.

Now, we are awaiting the delivery of Stone Dust.

Interlock Update

While awaiting the delivery of stone dust, I took time to conclude pricing per sqm with my production crew.

We agreed N450 per sqm (250/m2 for casting and 200/m2 for laying)

Total Labour Cost For Production/Installation = 189,000

Note: we are producing 8cm thick stone. The cost of producing 6cm will be cheaper.
Later tonight or tomorrow, I’ll show the difference between a 6cm stone and 8cm stone.

The guys working on this project are moving from Ogun state to Ibadan and their charge remain the same
That’s one of the benefits of making yourself a preferred customer.

according to your budget, you will be needing something basic like this. Should cost 8,000 for 4ft by 4ft. There are cheaper and more expensive ones too. The attached door is something I made for a Nairalander some years back

DIY Interlock

Amen and thank you.
I just encourage you to pay attention to the numbers as they’re coming.

N70,000 already sent to the stone dust supplier and the 189,000 for the production/installation has been set aside.

I’ll be making arrangement for cement tomorrow. I use Dangote. Lafarge is cool but it takes longer time to dry and because of the thickness of the stone we are producing, it become difficult removing it from the mold.

The production crew are happy to work because they already knew there’s another 942sqm waiting for them in Ikorodu in the coming week.
