Yes baba! The ironsmith

When I got to Gate Iron market in Ibadan few weeks ago, I marveled at the passion and ingenuity of our people especially the young ones in the market.

Yes, those guys are very good
I still have some fascinating designs on my archive..... awaiting potential clients will get those any time we are called

Thenext:
Very lovely.

Yes

n3xt:
Do you know most welder run away from these designs because of what it takes (time and materials) to achieve them.

Those little pieces are what makes wrought iron works unique and expensive


_____
I was working on a gate last week. The time it took to bend 20 lengths of 14mm square rod into a perfect circle (Pic 3 below) was almost 2 days.

It’s a time consuming work.
Here in Lagos and some part of Southwest I know very well you don’t need to waste much time to bend wrought iron into your desire shape
just work to OWODE mile 12 area to get it ( that is if you are in Lagos or ogun and Ibadan) there others places too to get such.

Some guys/ old men there are specialized Only on wrought iron designs work.
Just give them the design they will bring out the shape for you then your welder man will do the rest.

Focusmind:
Wrought iron is always ageless. Matured and appealing. But for the price, the thing no be here.

Very true

You will find so many lovely designs in rough iron

Focusmind:
I always comment whenever what I like is mentioned. That chrome is a no go area for me. We should be creative with other things apart from the usual ones being used or done. The staircase design here is dope.


If wrought iron proves expensive to be used for my staircase, I use hard wood. Chrome or any shiny metal is a no go area.

Menn, the likeness I have for rough iron now is 70/30 to stainless.
Stainless will still be outdated in few yrs to come YES, just watch out.

Look at this simple one we did here both railing and as burglar bars

We are here to serve you better

twinskenny:
A client has to demolish his nearly finished building around That area. A big loss it is

That is reason why someone needs to take professional advise before payment made for any land

Plastering update
I couldn’t get my Favorite plaster sand for the project presently (cement paste color)
next batch of sand will be the cement paste colour.
But this is also good.
Ratio 1:5 used here.

The client surprise my workers this morning When he sees the level of work down so far.
He dole out 50k to all workers
Actually it’s part of motivation.

Donoppy:
This is a very great job sir, more grease to your elbow.
Please I would appreciate if you could recommend to me your carpenter as the one the engineer recommended to me has been really overcharging me from what I am seeing so far.
My site is currently along ipaja road.
Thanks sir in anticipation.

We spoke on phone few hours ago

Why?

If the reason is to save cost, I think the savings is not worth the huge sacrifice. It’s like compromising on what should be quality upfront.

- 9in blocks are more stable than 6in blocks (bending)
- Better sound insulation
- Easier conduit
- Better support for vertical loads
- You can build 9in blocks faster than 6in blocks

If you consider the additional cost of building “Frame Structure”, then 9in blocks is far cheaper and more reliable than using 6in.

You will not die young OGA

Godisgreatest1:
I thank you all for your responses. I enquired about the size of blocks because I noticed that in architectural drawings, there are 'tiny' numbers (300, 225 and 150) in partitions or between rooms. So I only thought that using 150 represents 6" which may use up less land space.

So if 9" blocks are used for 8 partitions it means 300x8=2400 space used, but for 6" it will be 150x8=1800 space added to the building size. 2400-1800=600 worth of space. If the 600 is in mm, that is approximately 2ft difference between both blocks.

I believed NOBODY will choose SPACE above STABILITY

After all the professionals advise, the ball is now in your court to decide

Watch out for more

When you have us as your Builder, means you have rest of mind.

femidbuilder:
Please can you recommend a good plaster sand supplier to Lekki

Good morning, actually I don’t have any particular supplier of plaster sand in lekki axis for now.
But outside lekki there is, but it’s good to get supplier around there for cheaper supply

Work is in progress in most of our sites, final pics will be posted here soon

Aventures:
It isn't misconception that some foundation can cost as much as 10m or far more. I have witnessed several of such. We had a project recently in Ikate the client is a UK trained and a professional builder and been practicing in Nigeria for years I only provided structural supervision the project fdn is yet to be completed and I can tell you that the project has consumed far.more than 10m. The builder bought all materials by himself and managed judiciously.
My point is this , some project may be located in areas that can bring about high fdn cost for so many reasons while some people get them selves in such location ignorantly.
My advice is this, always consider your budget before choosing a land to buy not budgeting after buying a land. (Your budgeting from start to finish must include land and location choice) , therefore before buying land do engage professional that has good knowledge of the type of foundation that land of your choice may require. I just did a trip outside my base to do such for a client. It pays off.

Bravo

EgunMogaji2:
Allegedly imported from Turkey.

It could be made in Nigeria and rebranded.

It could have been made in any other country and rebranded.

Nigeria jagajaga.

You are not far from the truth some product are like that. Tag England but made in Ikorodu. Lol

But I have asked my Aluminum fabricator LADY and Guys about the availability of the materials so that we can get it done here but no show yet but we are still on it.

Engrobiorah:
Good morning bro, what's the cost of a single window?

The LADY did it for me at the rate of
32k for 4ft by 4ft
15k for 2ft by 2ft

beamNIGERIA:
Thanks, I needed something like this (attached below) in the local market. I couldn't find both in jibowu and mushin. So I had to fabricate myself, picture attached.

What available in mkt is fiber and plastic type.

I did something close to this your own with HDF board about 4yrs ago for NL member too somewhere in Ajah area

I love this your design very unique

Muyi002:
Are these doors locally made or imported?

Clearly stated above “Turkish made”
