For those interested in kitchen cabinet hardware. This guys are top notch ( also premium in price)

Their MFC boards (18mm) are ~ 60k (7ft x 9ft) compared to the Nigerian “Hdf” for ~ 20k

I love their stuff.

I was in ikeja and I decided to window shop.

You are right, Their products are top of the line better suited for your own home or if the client has the budget.

The price is hard to ignore oo.

I’m researching this space, I’m sure there will be mid-range more affordable options.

This built in cookers/microwave/oven are slowly getting prominence.

FEGEITOK:


Research it, you are paying for quality.

All those cheap brands will rust in +/- 10 years.

I think Bosch uses stainless steel and never rusts.

I also believe you can actually hand it over to your children if they want due to the build quality.

Ignore the price.

Quality never comes cheap

These kitchen appliances are quite on the high side.

These are Bosch kitchen appliances (Extractor hood, 4 burner gas hob, oven) ~ 750k

twinskenny:


Alright sir

8x15000=120k
16 channel=55k
2tb = 28k


Thank you

Thanks I’ll contact you if you are interested in the installation

dapotemi:


My dilemma right now...

It seems a good number of people have this problem in one shape or another.

Artisans/contractors I hail. Do these folks just collect money and use it to their benefit and leave the clients at their mercy, it’s very unfair a breach of contract and most especially trust.

Thenext:
Baba Egunmogaji used Regal Paint produced by our able Gbadesky. I followed the suit and I bought paint from him as well. The painting of my house is ongoing and nearly completion. I can tell you categorically that Gbadexy paint is a top notch and very good quality just like Dulux. Gbadexy as a person is a very nice and honest man, kindly patronize him and you will never regret it.


supporting

Congrats on your project, painting = house warming soon.

I’m in conversation with him now.

Do you have current pictures of your paint job (the completed part) so we can all see. Don’t keep all the good things to yourself lol

What paints did your purchase and where did you use them.

Sorry for asking many questions, it’s due diligence.

uncleteeh:
Here's just my own assertion, we have many engineers or contractors here that no one has ever called out

I pray those people continue to do good work.

And please if you have an issue don’t be intimidated to bring it up here, don’t just sweep it under the carpet because one day they will change carpet to tiles.

Glad to hear this... is this a recommendation. Because I didn’t see the usual disclaimer we have grown accustomed to here

I will contact gbadexy, hopefully I will have testimonies to bring back to the house

EgunMogaji2:


And I had zero issues. In fact products were delivered ahead of time and in good condition.

Nothing broken in transit, no stories about supplier

Good day sir,

I would like to know cost for a 8 camera , 2TB, 16 channel cctv installation

gbadexy:

Thanks chief Kenny.
@ PrimeQuay, high chief egunmogaji used Regal paint produced and supplied by me.

Great. Would love to see how we can work together on this project. Hopefully your prices are affordable in this buhari’s nigeria

I have also experienced this; Indiscriminate use of materials for reasons best known to them.

One has to do better in monitoring your hard earned resources.

I think Oga syder has a thread of his own experiences in the industry

sonnie10:


You are very correct. I don’t know why most people don’t like going to buy materials themselves.
Artisans don’t own shops or import building materials. It is still the same market they would go to buy those materials.

The sad truth about using this method is that once you hand over the materials to the dubious one, they would corner half of it right before your eyes. Some would over use the materials and ask for more, after all is it not your house that everything went into. This is how I ended up using 180 bags of cement for a German floor that they initially calculated 120 bags of cement. They did not steal the cement, just that the were inconsiderate.

Members of the house,

What paint products will you advice based on experience? I will be considering paint for exterior and interior, I know it depends on taste but at least there must be an acceptable standard

Caplux
President
Dulux
Value paint

I think Egun paint his mansion recently, I trust his love for detail & quality.

rajput4real93:

Oga QsFemi, I moved on a long time ago. I just saw pictures of the shoddy job he did this morning, and I was triggered to talk

I think it is important to hold people (vendor/client) responsible in a timely manner so facts don’t get muddled up. To serve as a warning and also to avoid a repeat case.

Resolving the issues is better than letting it go.

Just saying

This is the sad truth, if you decide you want to pay them in bits, they might claim majority of the funds is for materials. I’m currently chasing the guy that is supposed to do my HDF doors after paying 70% advance. Everyday it’s a different story.

From my little experience, procure your materials yourself(if you can) and just pay labor as work is delivered.

Don’t be afraid to enter market and price materials.

ChybuzzDD:
I think complaints and their defense should be detailed and in one piece respectively, so that it'll be easy for others to read, understand and make their own inputs.

You guys are both writing in a hurry and making the write-ups unreadable with lots of grammatical errors.

But, mehnn!, Nigerian artisans no be am at all. I'm currently battling with my POP guy now after over 4wks of paying him more than 3/4 of his total bill for a 5-bedroom project.

Once they get majority of their money for the project, you'll be the one chasing them around to do their work.

This has to change.

autonaero:

10 tons is currently #33,000 and 15 tons is currently #40,000
pricing based on supply around Ibeju-Lekki; Lagasa Quarry.
Regulated price from the Lagos State Sand Suppliers Association.

Hope you find this helpful for your building construction.

Any idea on 30 tons ?

Impressive work. What client will not be happy with this level of detail

Our Electrical Folks have represented. M & E over to you.

twinskenny:



From me to you sir ..

I saw this clean installation of ppr pipes on Instagram. This is Tanzania (Africa) not the west.

The cost saving with the style is what intrigues me, limited breaking , less plastering = less cement & sand. Less labor.

It’s hammer and chisel our plumbers like

One day we will get there.

veekid:
this country is not for the weak

At that rate 30 tons is roughly 250k of course depending on location

Is there any special preparation before application of the first coat of paint aside from the screeding?

I love the neatness of the paint application

gbadexy:


Like I did mention earlier, there are some painters that aren't mine that did perfectly neat application.
I specifically requested for@ Thenext to post a few videos of the internal painting done by his painter.
I'm particularly impressed with the neatness and how they took their time to do the cutting of the top part, lower part and part where different colors meet for first coat.
If not told, you would think it was a finished painting and they are yet to apply the second coat.
The final coat and cutting would be uniform with this approach.
The paints were supplied by me and I can definitely give you same product at a much cheaper cost.

There you go...sir

https://www.nairaland.com/6534100/interior-design-project/3#106947250

Nice designs , do you offer kitchen design , I have ideas I will like to execute

Thanks

I believe the bathroom layout would have been sorted in the design phase. The shape of the bathroom will play a role in position of bathroom elements

So if you are saying the plumber worked without supervision, did he freestyle the job or follow the design.

In either case if you plan on living in the house, make sure you design to your taste.

toyeoye:


This should be a thread of its own! This one even try, some plumbers are ignorant in this aspect. They just layout bathrooms any way they feel and will tell you that is the usual practice. I had to change the whole layout of all my bathrooms when I saw what a plumber did without inspection.

BrickDevo:

What is your location, i have a reliable experienced tiler

Location is Lekki area. reliable and experienced are key words, I don’t mind having a conversation

Thanks

Thenext:
Please who knows where I can get quality curtains in Lagos at affordable price.

Quality is subjective but if you are looking for a wide array then Tejuosho, is the place

EgunMogaji2:


I have a 2 axis red laser and 8 axis green laser devices. I picked mine up from Jijji.

I also have a tile hole cutter and a tile circular saw.

Wonderful tool. It takes the guess work out of straight lines or using the naked eye. I’m sure your tiler would have been delighted to have access to such tools.

Do you mind sharing brand name or purchase URL ?

Hello house,

Does anyone have a laser levelling tool or know a reliable source to purchase one

I’m at the tiling stage and I would to assist the tiler so a better job.

Or a better question, do you use such tools in laying tiles on your projects

Thanks

Thenext:
Please what’s the current price of cement in Lagos?

About 3,800-4,000
Depending on your area and negotiating power (quantity)

I stand to be corrected.

Price in inputs like sharp sand and granite has also increased

What’s the trim/style?

Please how do you know the difference between the 3 roofing sheets ?

Thanks

dongc:


Bozac any day...where is your site located ....sdm uses coils from Bozac...so same same almost.
I thought you were getting help from kolashange ?? Or not.
Also looking at your building my guess the roof height is under 20feet.i would put 0'45mm roofing sheets..0'55 maybe an overkill..offcourse it's your house and your money and your call.cheers

Dennis3D:
More views from the Plastering works here...

Very sharp work! Can’t wait to see more progress.

Well done bro

Good evening house, it seems prices are back on the rise ; regarding cement. My supplier just called alerting me of a pending increase again.

Last I bought was 3,700 now it’s 3,900 less that 2 months interval. (Direct from lafarge)

If anyone is interested in splitting 800 bags(400/400) around the lekki axis. Let me know.

Era1:

What is the height of your building excluding roof?

About 10.5 m

Any suggestions?
