Yay or Nay? rotech77, spyder880, timtol, abdulwastecx, KolaShangOne, saydfact (long time no hear) and others... what do you generally do?

I know most will say its the client's call but i believe there's a point where the benefits (if any) becomes insignificant and therefore the additional cost isn't justified. that's the decision point i'm looking for.

Pls feel free to chime in. any suggestions are without any liabilities so caveats are fine.

Here is the prototype. I will appreciate constructive critique from the house. Thank you.

This inverter is not serviceable
Prag stopped support in 2015 after they phased it out and started their new line
So now it is essentially "use and throw away"
Except the local artisans have found a way around the circuit board
Finally, this is the wrong forum

He's moving with trend sir. Just be sure there's no compromise on the quality of the iron used and the roof design is solid. I'll upload something cool shortly.

abdulwastecx:


The issue of reinforcement is problematic due to one, lack of standard and the fact that most wholesaler doesn't have a standard lab to test the engineering strength of the reinforcement.

If I'm working on heavy structures like, frames of heavy building, retaining walls, culvert etc, I request for tensile test, bending and others test from the rod sellers but for simple structures where strength is not of primary importance I work with whatever reinforcement I can lay my hand on.

On-site, we do simple bending test, to know how brittle and ductile the reinforcement is. Also, at the designing stage, I try as much as possible not to overworked the reinforcement by simply working with utilization ration of 50%.

Finally, most of what we build here are small structures of a storey to maximum four storeys and as a result, poor sizing of structural members like beams, columns, and footings is responsible for structural failures rather the actual strength of reinforcement.

I am so grateful for your response.

With the current price of building materials, it has now become difficult for an average Nigerian to build.

Infact we don’t know where we are going in this country again.

I waited for pop materials price to come down for the past 1 month yet I still bought it for
7500 per bags and 2000 for 1kg filers.

150 bags bought
200kg filers bought also
Our budget was 450k before now we have spent about 1.2m on materials ONLY.

Remove this guy Rabiu Kehinde Adeniyi of Mountmoriah. He is Criminal and Fraudster. He has just scammed me of #1,369,750 . He was supposed to supply me Roman Stone coated roof. He is nowhere to be found for the past 48 hours.

We are not too busy to notice those who make the world go round.

Thanks for all you do!

There’s a large request for 3 bedroom bungalows. Please feel free to showcase some of your designs that meet this brief on kobocity.

Thanks.

I just dey laugh who is waiting for prices to come down.


My quotes no dey last pass three days. When you ask me for price, my answer is usually "are you doing the job immediately"


It's painful experience cause it makes one look unserious. Imagine dropping a quotation on a weekend and to change it all again by Monday

I guess you’ve seen it already.

Stay away from Rabiu Kehinde Adeniyi a.k.a Mountmoriah . He is a Criminal and Fraudster. I paid him #1, 369, 750 to supply me Roman stone coated roofing sheets and accessories. I haven't heard of him till now. All his lines switched off. I sent the payment to his GTB account number 0007312835. I trusted him based on the fact that he delivered wood to my site and I paid on delivery for the wood. After gaining my trust, he took measurements of my roof and opined to supply me the roofing sheets. I transferred to him for 48 hours now and haven't received the materials. I spoke with him this morning and he said they were on their way to Ibadan currently at Guru maharaji. Told him to snap the himself with the vehicle conveying the materials to my site since 10 am, he went off immediately and have been off since. I later called, him two lines switched off.

It was this Nairaland and Kobocity testimonials that made me to fall for his scam .

n3xt:


Update: We just spoke again. He’s on Iwo road and ive asked him to share his location with me on Whatsapp to monitor/track their movement.
He said your goods will be delivered tonight and installation will commence early in the morning.
