Could someone please advise me. I had a previous contractor who was managing my building project. I gave this contractor money to mould parapets. I later sacked the contractor and hired a new one. The new contractor has advised that the parapet that was moulded by the previous contractor is rubbish because the parapet has no reinforcement in it. The new contractor also said the parapet has no hook for hanging it.
My question is do pre-cast parapets require iron reinforcement or this new contractor is just talking from his anus?

Yes it requires iron rod in it precisely to hang it & give it strength. If no iron there will be nothing to hang it.

Sorry you experience this, resources wasted, hmmm painful.

Obi Akpor - You’re very correct!

Building on Sunday is the only way to avoid PH wahala. I’ve never seen a state so religious as PH grin
You are right sir, very religious and most devilish, most parents and children are either in one cult or another. It's a pride to them.

i lost an engineer to their attitude, they killed him straight up when arguing with then in 2014...

They still collect money after his death or the project remain untouched.
Yeah, that's their way. You must not even argue too much with the agberos there.
It's very easy for them to introduce death to one.

PHC what a city, 2000 my 1st encounter at NANS convention, PHC boys vs Nigeria Students. The then NANS president hired them to avoid being impeached, live shoot at us, Federal Poly, Offa students save our life, chase them all, told us to leave environment immediately because they are coming to reinforce.

Encounter was terrible, still fresh in my memory...

I appreciate. But I have eagle eyes when it comes to finished works. I have seen this thread before. 99% of doors in that picture are all Internet pictures except one or two, which are the usual Nigerian wood doors.

The thread owner even confirmed it. It is for you to select the design of your choice and it would be made. Selecting the design is not the problem but artistically getting it up to the standard displayed in the sample pictures. It is not that our people are not good but they lack the necessary finishing tools, detailing required and the kind of materials used overseas.

Nice attempt. I know Dubemcapital anyway, the owner of the thread. He is a well known builder on Nairaland.

grin you know the city very well. I visit there regularly. The church there is about my pastor is bigger than yours and more miracles happens in my church more grin

My church is where the miracle happens. A lady in one of the clients I consulted for told me in one of our informal conversions that her pastor asked her to help him get not less than 15 working class young ladies in a reputable organisations to join the church.

Hello! I would suggest you go for a wooden floor! Then you can paint your living room with Cream and White : Shades of cream will help warm up the whites in your space while keeping it light and bright. However if you still intend on using Tile! (Use Mixture of Black & cream Tile) Tilers would understand the Settings Better °•°



How affordable are this laminate flooring?..

Could you give me a typical quote.. say average quote for a 180sqm using hardwood flooring.

You really do not need reinforcement in the moulded parapet. The reinforcement that is needed is for the roof beam. As for the hook to hand it, let them drill holes and pass binding wire through to anchor the parapet on the roof beam reinforcement. Don't let them waste your hard earned money.

There are ways to calm them down. The bottom line is get all the LGA paper and the MUD approval, then have it at the back of ur mind that ur paper are not complete. why? Because those boys will still come from same offices u get the approval with another strange receipt to pay for. So don't panic or fight just blend. Take their boss out to hang out, be their friend and u will be safe.

There was a time they came to disturb me, when they arrive their boss and follows just shouted " we never know na our Yoruba brother house them dey talk, wrong information" . I was told right there that the informant did not know that I don dey attend Their village meetings and functions. I just order for drinks and gave them transport.

Never fight those boys they are deadly and always high
