Pls can you throw more light on why he should not use this. A lot of people use it this in my area...

Cameroon Zinc is very good and affordable. If your structure is a bungalow and you are working with a tight budget, it is a considerable option.

Most people don't use it especially in storey buildings because cameroon Zinc guarantees just about 10 to 15 years, whereas Longspan, steptiles and metcoppo guarantees from 20 to 50 years.

Last week was extremely busy one for me as we worked on pouring 14 slabs which was completed yesterday.

While at it, a friend sent me some images by a Lagos based steel construction company imsystems_ng which specializes in Cargotecture (shopping container house construction).

In couple of weeks, we’d be exploring the possibilities. I hope this will inspire you to “Think Different.”

You clearly don't know cameroon Zinc. It's best to stay in your core area (Longspan, et al) than to say what you are not aware of.
Ook am sorry then grin grin

Do you need to outsource your company's accounting function to an experienced chartered accountant on a "freelance" basis?

Are you in need of the services of a professional chartered accountant for your small business?

Do you need to implement a scalable cloud-based accounting system (Sage Accounting) for your business?

Do you need IFRS-compliant financial statements and management accounts prepared from incomplete records?

… and other accounting services including tax and payroll management.

I'm available anytime.

exactly. Lots of structures were cleared to make way for the structure. At that time, people thought it was a stupid idea

I repeat its not a residential building nor owned by an individual.

meaning its not a good example for the subject matter.

Caution Caution Caution

No matter how you are highly recommended in the business world, you MUST watch your responses to unpleasant people. Its maturity and good manner. There are some responses that are just distasteful in the business climate. Words to the wise only!!!

I keep reading the phrase: Did you add any value to my business, did you patronise me?
That phrase above makes me think that when the Tables are turned, such Contractors pretending to be nice people, will show their evil side.

Beautifully done..

I have always wondered why this type of build is not yet perfected in Nigeria with the high cost of cement and rod.

I think I have seen this concept here on nairaland years ago or maybe it was a different platform where I saw it..

When I asked I was given both mechanical and architectural reasons why it is not viable in Nigeria.. I have forgotten the exact verbiage but...

I have faith in my Nigerian brianiacs to perfect these system here, it looks beautiful in UK and Germany where I have seen it, those oyinbos don't have 2 heads.

Frankly, my only fear is I hope this doesn't fall into cracks by people cutting corners, overambitious or I too sabi wannabe pros and make a mess of this concept.. this is beautiful when done correctly but very dangerous when not done properly!

Why are you talking like an Illiterate like this?I just came across this post and am disappointed someone can reason like this..If some roofers had issue with anybody.so because money121 is a roofer and he wasn't called into it he must make a comment just because he is a roofer?Naaaa,It does not work that way.It does not owe anybody comment or post

And so far,I do not think he has any issue with anyone on this thread before now or elsewhere on nairaland before now.

"he wasn't called into i" ----- so if you see a thief stealing other person property , i guess is not your business
Yes Thanks educated person
Thanks you for Calling me Illiterate
Go back and read some past posting
The issue here was money121 didn't not make any comment when people was talking about
all the lies and game going on with measurement in roofing
I said I was expecting money to help educate all of us on the issue
he failed to make any comment
Last February I make a post regarding lies and games in the roofing business
he failed to make comment
You have being hearing in the US how Republican Party have failed to speak up regarding Trump

Well put. Thanks man.

Those rod prices are scary, so will leave that for now. But if you do cement @3200 to site then we could buy 600 bags for keeps.

it can last up to six months if terrain is not moisture, u turn at interval.

After all the dramas, what’s the offense of money121? His quote is too high or what?

Why do some of us take pleasure in the downfall of others?

We are quick to read meanings to his harsh reply and not what prompted the action.

Happy New Week!

"We are quick to read meanings to his harsh reply and not what prompted the action."

The issue was not his quote was too high

If you read the post somebody said they expected money121 to comment regarding a post on measurements'
If his quote is high you can go to the next person
It was more about speaking up
Correct and educate other people about the business regarding measurement in roofing

Great comment "We are guided by our moral compass."

You used one sentence to define what all the drama was about "moral compass"

individual moral compass

All above so call drama was about our moral and value to speak up for good or bad

Inspire to "think different" living in containers in Africa? Is it because it's a concept that is cheaper than traditional brick and mortar per square meter or aesthetically more beautiful or offers a superior wholesome living and well-being?

It's just much ado about nothing and faffing around. It's not solving any problem for the majority.

Thank you the 'learned' one. What i have just discerned about Money121 is that he is just a roofing contractor/ business man who doesn't know much about roofing. Maybe he just buys and sells roofing materials, and then hires professional roofers for installation. I believe this is where we got him wrong. Continue your business money121 and maintain your good reputation. May we all be successful.

While I do agree that Money121 could have polished his language better we should remember that he was dragged into the conversation . Also the fact that someone show his temper in the public doesn't make that person evil.
If we look at the whole conversation his integrity is been question and this person is not his customer. When someone attempt to drag your integrity on the ground you have every right to be angry. The bible say be angry but do not sin.

In a simple word "Our expectation" or "My expectation"

I did the first roofing I got played
The second roofing I told the dude to watch himself
He tried to play I said NO THIS TIME
I just did the third roof job the same guy
This time I was very quiet
He tried , I have not told him the out come
I will send him photo 270sqm to 220 sqm (50 x 2740 =137,000)
