Hi sir

Rubbiish:
I don't think not doing chain lintel is against best practice.
Lintel is an horizontal struct. member over an opening, not blocks.
But people do it because they have the resources, basically to prevent cracks from running from the top of the build to bottom because of the position of the lintel(mid-way kind of), probably because of the nature of blocks. If u intend doing roof beam, u can skip chain lintel & do short lintel above openings. Most people who do chain lintel don't even do roof beam. Roof beam will also serve the purpose of chaining the building together.

You can't run all your windows to roof beam for a typical residential build, what about toilet windows? Do short lintels & roof beam, your building will be fine.

Hi sir

Evidently it boils down to greed. N4000/ton x 30 == N120k.
Add N50k for transportation. It becomes N170k which is close to price in the North and SW. But the suppliers want N270k. Difference of N100k (not including yoshi). The level of greed I witnessed in the SE is preposterous. To get things right, you just have to do it yourself.

I have really struggled with the chippings maffia in many states here in Nigeria. What have I not done, but the big trucks seemed to be winning, (once slept in my car on site waiting for them that comes to offload at midnight) I now changed tactics. I have noted that;

1. Following the load from the quarry does not stop them ripping you off. The deed is done inside the loading room, then on the road.
2. Trusting a dealer or supplier might be good, but many of them are still going to try and rip you off, except Chekitaut.
3. Shorting loads on the road is a norm, and they are not happy if they cannot.

Because of this I started using smaller trucks to supply my sites. Small Mercedes 911 trucks heaped up gives me a certain load which I can rely on. Slow as it might be to do 4-5 loads to equal 30tonnes but I know what to expect.

For a full 30tonnes, you need a longer trailer, it cannot enter into many of my sites as they are small streets. Price is N270k or more depending on location. If I do 5 loads of 911 trucks at N55,000-N60,000, it might give me a load which I might not even get with all my carefulness in 30tonnes.

Hi sir where do you base would like to work with you on something
