Please who can waybill items from Lagos to Benin?

.

This issue of visitor's toilet I remember I was angry at the engineer for changing the initial plan of the toilet being inside cos it was a norm for me....but now I'm happy with what he did.. Some said it wasn't secure for the door of the toilet to be outside though but I'm glad he was so stubborn to not listen..

My dad's house the visitor's toilet is in the anteroom and I remember the smell that comes out when used my bomb producing visitors... it wasn't funny though

Good morning my sister, we used white cement for the walls, a brand called JK. It has an original and a fake. I don't know tilers in Benin, I will make calls to see who can move to Benin to work. Thanks.

Okay Sir...white cement just for the walls...

Thank you so much Sir, it will be appreciated...

spyder880:
More cabinets getting ready...........

Very neat work here....you have professional team

gigdfhjjhvc:
Tnx boss
See this ones, you fit tell if dey original
Which should I go for

This first door is fine....I like it but it's American panel and I heard it does not even stay up to 3yrs...

spyder880:
Observing the start of wall tiling in this house, this will be the first bathroom to be tiled.

Good Morning Sir... You are almost done with this project and it's coming out really beautiful and you are quite fast with it...


Please Did the tiler use white cement for the wall tiles or floor tiles? And please can you recommend a tiler in Benin or anyone who can travel to Benin for a small project oh, a 3 bedroom bungalow?

Rany4all:
They do either. It all depends on your agreement.

Oh... Okay

Rany4all:
Thank you. That's exactly what I'm trying to explain to this installer, but the guy no wan hear word. His problem is that he can't even calculate the area of the roof (his calculation was even far less than the actual area of the roof), so he's using the total square meter bought to calculate his fee.

I have shown him the area as calculated from the architectural design (and the roof was done exactly as designed), and explained to him that 25% was added to account for waste, but this guy still insists I pay for his ignorance

Do they charge per sqm for roofing or they just give their price?

Rany4all:
Hello guys,
Please I have a question @everyone. Assuming the exact surface area of a roof is 100sqm but owner buys 125sqm to account for waste, will the installation fee be calculated with 100sqm or 125sqm? Thanks.

100sqm

visaclick:
what's the point, you got the job already, client said he will connect with you. spoil another man's own to better yours so hope you are happy now. Maybe the bidder who dropped that quotation isn't on nairaland to even give reason why he needed those materials and he will be there wondering why client never got back to him. Smart one

What crime did he commit exactly? Why are you angry? So, he should sit back and watch them rip off the client when he can actually do a better job and save the client some funds for other projects. I am scared of people like you!

Why was this thread created in the first place? To help both artisans and clients, making things easy for both parties....so why attack him? What exactly was his crime?

I'm an Engr, under my company their are many professional artisans that are very capable.

Happy Sunday..

Okay....nice to know

Happy new week to you

gentlesoul83:
There is black is available. Normal HDF is the best quality of them all.
Lagos state. Ojodu berger precisely

Oh okay...

spyder880:
Yes, painting will be done later. The back of the cabinets are usually covered with lighter boards so no contact with the walls.

Okay Sir....no need wasting the paint at the back

gentlesoul83:
HDF Board ( block boards) - 18,500
HDF Board normal (origina ply) - 21,000

First picture is Block board HDF
Second picture is normal ply HDF

No black?

Which of the above is advisable to be used for doors?

Your location please...

Your friend wasn't forced against his will, he is the master mind.

melonsgroup:
Do you have a house/building project at your village this year?

I recommend you do this.

I did this at Itama my village and I was glad.

Get sense and reduce expenses this year.

Good Morning �

When you hit your toes, no one will tell you sorry

spyder880:
Some wardrobes in some rooms...........

No painting before installing wardrobes?

gentlesoul83:
Buying the materials is the best option, the already made is covered you don't know the board that's been used. There is possibility of it been compromised.

Note: please I sale hdf boards and other plywoods with the accessories too. Thanks

How much are the hdf boards and can we see sample pictures please...

Multi tasking/ General contractor

Oh okay..

Good evening boss.
Here is the ground floor pla of the project I am currently embarking on. Although it's still at foundation level.
But before I proceed further and release more funds, what adjustment do you suggest that I can make to make it more beautiful.

Secondly I noticed that the remaining two rooms are not ensuite, even though I was told that all the rooms are ensuite.
Please I am currently far away from the location of the project.

2 rooms are definitely not en-suite... What I feel he can do is to change the position of the bathroom doors, take them inside the rooms...change the entrance position of room 2

hslbroker2:
Whatsapp me 09132123240 it's our job

Waiting for your message.

I'm sorry to prý but I'm just curious, what do you actually do?

Olumighty123:
I feel it's best to tile the floor before fixing the doors

We have had this discussion in this thread several times... We concluded that it depends on the kind of doors to be used..

gentlesoul83:
Hdf doors are okay, if it's pure hdf, if the door has not been compromised by using mdf instead hdf.

Okay Sir... Buying already made or buying the materials and giving to an installer to install, which is advisable?

FEGEITOK:
I fixed the doors before tiling.

I then had to take them down for tiling.

Then I had to resize them before reinstallation after tiling.

Quite a process, quite a learning process as well.

Too much work

FEGEITOK:
I have been involved in very extensive home remodeling.

One of the questions I asked was "What gap should there be between the floor and the door" , see the pictures below

Except for external doors, your internal doors should never be flush with the floor

That will ensure your doors be there HDF or MDF never have to deal with floor water ( except for a flood, which is an extraordinary event)

I had to resize my doors after the installation of a concrete floor and tiling, so that is the background of the above research

You tiled before fixing the doors?

hamtabfawaz:
The bolded, perhaps signify improper management/use, Commercial use, where some people can handle it any how, since it's not their house door.

A client of mine, has been using HDF doors for few years now, it still looks neat & sturdy.✓

Okay... We Nigerians we love things that are pleasing to the eyes not minding the cost and durability..

FEGEITOK:
redgem you asked about kitchen tiles the other day, I found this link about some ideas to make your kitchen come alive, check it out and if you find it useful, implement one or more ideas to spice up that space

I have checked it out...do you think those are suitable for our kind of environment? In terms of climate and usage

FEGEITOK:
Just started using mine so I am in no position to advice.

As far as I am concerned, so long as you keep water away you will be fine.

The other issue is the quality of the finishing, over which you have zero control. That is in the hands of whoever you hired.

Okay, thanks... I don't think it's possible to keep water away though, except you don't mop the house

Thanks Sir, will check it out now

Good morning everyone... Please I have a question, how durable are hdf doors? They are beautiful and all but how long do they last? I have seen damaged hdf doors in hotel rooms though but I felt its improper management....


Please if you are using hdf doors, what are your takes on them?

AsabaPropertyAg:
The owner decided to change all the doors. Fixed but not used.

Please do not be upset... May I know his reasons for changing the hdf doors?
