Interesting!

Ladyteeks, if I were you I’d consider engaging a QS to mange this type of project since you’re not fully on ground

If a middleman is involved, I’ll also disengage such person. They do more harm than good.

Listening to those audio recordings, I just weak. I don't know if to laugh or cry. But I cried a little for the client sha. I really did.

.........I SAY KEEP QUIET WHEN I TALK TO YOU!!!! I should keep shut while you talk to me after I have EMPLOYED you to deliver a service.

DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE I'M YOUR EMPLOYEE!!!!! Really? So what are you? My father and I'm your child?

I HAVE TOLD YOU MY SCHEDULE, NOW GET OFF MY PHONE, GET OFF MY PHONE!!!! But you called me na. I SAY GET OFF MY PHONE!!! Ogbele o!

As your EMPLOYER, I expect to be part of your SCHEDULE so it does not help how I feel if you have told me of your schedule previously.

I cried at the end of the clip when the client said: you have my money; anything you like you can do. Oh lord, this really touched me. And of course, he did what he liked, he arbitrarily and dictatorially deducted 50% of the mobilisation fee for his effort. Effort at talking to me as a child? So I will pay you 25k to berate me like a child? Wahala dey o.

Well, I'm with Egun on this one: I will pursue you to the ends of the world and back to get my money in FULL just to prove two points: I'm not your child and yes, you ARE my employee.

I have been on Nairaland going a very long time and I've witnessed all Contractor - Client fall out, those audio clips are the worst case study to date.

See how far we have come on this project here.

https://www.nairaland.com/5955403/new-4-bedroom-duplex-swimming

We built this from foundation to the roofing you saw in 6weeks and 4 Days... Excluding 1month and 1 weeks Decking Resting time.

Check the thread to see the time line.

Yes sir it will work perfectly. Our voltage is between 220-240V. and our frequency is 50Hz

BabaOman:
As it's often done here, I am coming back to give feedbacks.
I gave @ uncleteeh jobs to do on this platform and he has satisfactorily done them.
Thank you

By IEE installation standard , the normal cable for water heater and AC is 4mm and cooker is 6mm because they are all heating element .BUT 4mm can be used for cooker unit in Nigeria if you are using original cables. The current rating of original Nigeria cable can withstand the load.

topsy23:
Eaton distribution board is also the same as MEM. original MEM is as good as ABB and also quite expensive

I think you are having a rough and unjustified rough patch and ride. From most of the post directed at you, it is not difficult to see you are being cyber bullied. This is no longer crytical analysis. This is bulling.

I have followed your dignified responses and I wish to offer my support to your effort and encourage you in finding honest enterprise.

You answered and supplied all requested information eloquently and some have turned around and use this against you. How can a common welder speak and write so eloquently. Don't be discouraged na Naija way. Superiority complex with some Nigerians na 5 and 6.

You post pictures, no you must post from cloud. You post concept designs, no you must post all doors from one location. It is never enough. Don't be discouraged. Life is a science. If you are out for honest enterprise, trust me, success will find you. And it will be like magic.

You have not done anything wrong in your response to queries concerning your work so I openly condem any unfounded labeling you as fraudulent. I stand by you and support you in finding honest enterprise.

I recognise you are a human being. I recognise you are trying to find honest enterprise. So be encouraged.

We all need a break or two and a kind (Chi) kindred spirit to make it in life. Say "yes" and your chi will say yes. Those whose palm karnel has been cracked by a benevolent spirit, should not forget to be humble (and kind).

Happy Birthday and many happy returns.

Please if u are a vendor here, so long u have no intention to defraud people, do not let anyone intimidate u or call u any unprintable names. No one have the right to call u fraud, if no fraud case has been presented against u by any member here. Because u seek patronage doesn't mean u should accept any bullshit thrown at u.

EgunMogaji2:
I will always challenge your prices when you don't specify exactly what you are selling and try to pass it off as that your prices are better.

You are making inferior products and trying to pass it off as being equal to those costing more. You don't use stronger pressed top and side frames.

Just simply advertise that you make low cost doors. Those doors are available all over Nigeria, you're offering nothing special.

How many of those doors have you sold on here? Personally, I think you're a fraud at best but maybe just an ordinary scammer.

Enyinne:
Stop trying to use sentiment /manipulation always on people . Your post is well read and noticed. U hv seen the post made by Jesusson2020 , answer to it and stop taking our attention away from main gist .

michlins:
sir I don't have the design you posted but I believe that there is something that I have which you will definitely like.

The door which costs 18k is the 18mm pan. The 16mm guage will cost 25,000 for the single and 38,000 for the double. Thanks

michlins:
fact is that the guage of the pan is 18mm but if you want, I can customize it and make it 16mm but bear in mind that it will cost more. Single door is 3ft and double door is 4ft. The double doors are used for the entrance while the 3ft are used for the rooms. Attached are photos of the two doors. The two on the left are double while the other one is single

michlins:
how many entrance doors do you have at the building. I will advise that you use iron doors for all the house. They are cheaper and more durable. Each door below costs #18,000 for the single and #28,000 for the double door

Interlock Update

While awaiting the delivery of stone dust, I took time to conclude pricing per sqm with my production crew.

We agreed N450 per sqm (250/m2 for casting and 200/m2 for laying)

Total Labour Cost For Production/Installation = 189,000

Note: we are producing 8cm thick stone. The cost of producing 6cm will be cheaper.
Later tonight or tomorrow, I’ll show the difference between a 6cm stone and 8cm stone.

The guys working on this project are moving from Ogun state to Ibadan and their charge remain the same
That’s one of the benefits of making yourself a preferred customer.

This is the estimate a carpenter gave me for wood work excluding workmanship. I sincerely think his estimate is quite doggy. Please house make una help me.

It's 151.4m² (Total Area of the floor)

Fire-rated plasterboard are cheaper alternative. I’ve used plasterboards on so many project without issh.

You can as well look into suspended ceiling which is also a very good alternative.

rajput4real93:
Hi Nairalanders. Please which is better between amoula pvc and nigerite asbestos as a ceiling material? Compare in terms of durability, affordability, and aesthetics. My own personal observation is that PVCs tend to sag over time. Thanks

rotecch77:
You have done very well to bring all these out, actually this will give some people hope to have there own building.

But the truth is that 3M can not give you 3bedrooms flat with all the facilities you mentioned.

The area you forget to Add to the list and some mistake in current cost of materials are as follow.

*Substructure*
1-Cost of 6”block is around N160 against N110 you quoted

2-Cost of cement is btw 2550-2650 against N2350 you mentioned.

3. It’s advisable to use 12mm for the columns in 4bars against 10mm/3bars you suggested.

4-N2500 binding wire can’t not be enough for the whole work 5-8k is good .

5-laterite of 10k/2 Trips can never fill the whole area of the foundation 4-5 trips will do.

Finishings
Floor tiles will be about 160-170meters agains 70meters you suggested.

You didn’t Add burglar proof for the windows

Pop per meter now will be around N3500 for simple plain design

Door with frame 15k it possible but expect to change it in the next 2-3yrs.

Electrical still OK

Mechanical;the pipe quoted is not enough
No provision for bore hole or WELL
No provision for water tanks and stand

No provision for suck away-

2*2*12 for purlins @N250 hmm you will likely get substandard size like 11/2*11/2*10 (popularly called SOLO in south west ) or white wood for that price N400-600 will work for this depends of your region


Labour
TILING cost will be around 120-160k
Plumber will cost you around 40k

Contingent 10k is NO NO prepare btw 30-50k depends on your region

IF YOU PUT ALL THESE MONEY TOGETHER IT WILL GULP UP N1million or above.

All these is without
Supervion,
No drawing
Not real standard structure.

Is the 120-160k the labour fee for tiling 160-170sqm of tiles?
