EgunMogaji has no Madam cool

It’s scary because I can just buy anything without seeking permission from a Madam.

But if my memory could carry me far, I read where EgunMogaji said they have a partner. Abi "partner" no be the same as "madam"?

You're saying the truth . That was a mistake of 5yrs ago hunting me now but all good .
Thanks for the advice
davodyguy:

Before you buy any property, get professionals involved.

1. A seasoned Estate Surveyor and Valuer(not road side agent or Baba Iyabo Caretaker)

2. A legal practitioner

3. A registered land surveyor (not someone who can use the theodolite that claims to be a Surveyor, but someone registered with NIS)

It saves time and money

That's Andron Homes, or Revolution Plus or Happy Homes property company advertised land to you, doesn't mean the land would have perfect title without encumbrance. Some may have clean titles, but some may not

Cheapest to get it from China. On Ebay, AliExpress.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-Camera-Wireless-Wifi-IP-Home-Security-1080P-DVR-Night-Vision-Video-Monitor/254705268545?hash=item3b4d9df741:g:9IQAAOSw66tfwF-J

I bought six of the one below and just throw it around the house because it is so versatile.
It charges via USB, it has internal Storage on MicroSD Card, can record to Cloud, has a magnetic base that can stick to any metal (one is on my Gate you wont even know there is a Camera there (the size is very small), Works both in daytime and uses infra red at night, can zoom, l can view it on my Phone through an App and best of all, l can watch it from ANYWHERE l am in the World.
Each costs less than #6,000, depending on the exchange rate, l buy with my own Pay Pal Account though.
What more can someone ask for?
---Smiles --

Bigger Ones like this are used to first impress and scare intruders, so they dont even bother to come around.

Hello builders,

Pls I need a technician that can service/repair basic construction machines like concrete mixers, poker vibrator etc.

I used to have one guy come in from Agege but lost his contact.

Thanks for your referrals.

Hello,

What is your budget of 850k benchmarked against?
Is that just a hunch and a nice round figure or based on quote from similar job?

Like someone said in their response to you, how does this brand/grade rank when compared to others like Tower, Ghana Imported, PVC and the likes? That's a better way to make comparison.

Get same contractor to give you a quote for other brands/grade, then you'll know which one falls within your budget bracket, then get other contractor(s) to quote for that same brand/grade you selected.

One good thing about windows is that there's always something for every budget.

Cheers.

MrWalban:
Hello House, I just found this thread. Please I was given this quotation for Casement Windows ( Aero-gold ) and burglary. I feel im been cheated considering the budget I had was 850k and this is running into 1.150m already. Kindly advise bosses.

Take a look.

On the average, like how many bags of cement can be used per sqm for tiling.

Once you respond, I'll tell you what my Beninois tilers have used for this bathroom wall

it seems like they use machines to cut their tiles right? can you give me their details?

Your Location will be the deciding factor.
Very Low Class area will not provide good returns on Flats
High Density, developed areas or close to Centre of Town will provide good returns on Shopping Centre.
Ultimately, the decision is yours.

michlins:
personally, I will prefer business area because you can be owed house rent but never shop rent.


This is my personal opinion and nothing professional about it. The likes of Spyder880 will know better



uncleteeh:

Location depends sir. Kindly consider the location vividly b4 you erect a shop.
Residential apartment sells better.

16mm Rod = 52 pcs per tonne
12mm Rod = 93 pcs per tonne

Material Prices (near me):
1. 1x12x12 planks - N1,500
2. Wood for profile - N300
3. Bamboo for props - N350 - 400
4. Pegs - N2000

Your question needs some more specifics, to get good and reliable response.

For example:
What is the Tonnage of Granite quoted for 95K? Same thing with Sharp Sand?
- Ask a User her called @Chekitaut or read his previous post on this thread, for Cost of Granite and Sand
- What is the tonnage or Tipper size of Granite he is quoting for #95K?
What is the type of Soil you are building on, (Swampy, Loamy/Soft, Valley, Hard Ground) to justify 35 Trips of Filling?

- Are you using Laterite to Fill or Sharp Sand? (Sharp Sand is better in a Wet area/ground) and what tonnage is he quoting for that Price?
- If you are buying as much as 150Bags of Cement, why cant you Order it directly from the Manufacturers like Dangote, you will get it at around #2,800 plus or minus. That Price of #3,300 is December Price.

- For Planks, talk to @MountMoriah guy on this thread, he will supply you and you can pay on delivery.
- What is the size of your Foundation (How many Boards, what is the dimension, can you share your Floor Plan or measure it yourself and state it here?), to get a better idea
- Packing of Filling can be negotiated down to #4,000 per Trip since they are packing many Trips
- Which is Hoes again? Are you Cultivating Cassava or Building a Foundation? I cant figure that one out, just cancel it

- What is the “machine” for and what Machine is he referring to?
If it is a Ramming machine, then you need to cut down on the Price of Rammer, moreover, it does not cost #50K to rent one Rammer in a day.
Budget 25K for manual Ramming and same for using a Ramming machine but allow time for the Soil to settle properly before doing the German Floor, Wet it very well.
- Labour Cost of Casting will depend largely on the Size of your Foundation though an average Price of 120K -+ max should do (looking at Ten Carriers, One Ewe, One Engine Operator, etc)
- Carpenter should be negotiated down to #30K Max, it cant be more than 2days work naah?

My advice, talk to QSFemi, he is a reliable and he will save you a lot of Money, when it comes to budgeting for your Build

Overall, you need to state your specific location because Labour and Material prices are also affected by Location.


Dont be discouraged.


Thanks so much for this comment sir I really appreciate and also sorry for my late response I’m kinda busy with work Na why. Location is ikorodu and make I no lie give you Boss I’m already getting discourage self lols because e be like say the man wan rip me cry and also ima message the person you gave me his contact sir
