Mama mmotino, I dey gbadun your style! E ku ijo meta. See alafia ni?

Here’s the thing, if you must hold it for it to work, you’re not leading it.

You need to work smarter.

======

Yesterday, while I was doing my dos, I was in the side doing back and forth with LSMTL and we already firm up arrangement for my test before weekend.

Today, as I’m doing this, I’m also drafting an application to LSSC to get my safety compliance certificate.

Even during COVID-19, construction didn’t stop, neither the fun.

Na you teach us to work smart and not hard. I’m doing just that.

What truly matters is we put structures out there and we invite the authority to conduct integrity test on it and it does not fail.

By Friday, I’m going to share pictures of test being carried on my ongoing build. I hope you’ll check it out.

Play. Work. Live.

Just do the maths!

Regardless of how crazy the inflation gets, there’s no way anyone would spend 30m to finish 1 unit of one bed apartment and don’t forget there’ll still be about N20m profit per unit.
I don’t know what feature will make a 1 bed apartment attract such huge price tag though!

Life is bigger than coming online to complain about life not being fair.

Always go to the last mile. It’s rarely crowded!

It’s true BUT it’s clear that when you put all things together plus water tanks stand and All others external work the money will gulp up to 180-200m to complete this project am seen
Let just say each floor 40m*4=160m add external work and fence 10m =170m tii lor

If it is not done on site or in situ, can we call the prestressed slab, precast?

Prestressed concrete stand on its own, so we can have it precast or cast in-situ( on site )
Only that 90pec of its done off site

Same as regular reinforced concrete Pre cast and on site cast method

Let me quickly give simple explanation about PRESTRESSED CONC,as I said yesterday.

prestressed concrete involves the stressing of wires or cables ( aka Tendon) by anchoring them at the end of a metal form, which may be up to 120 m in length. Hydraulic jacks stress the wire as required,

This method doesn’t used regular iron rod, the tendon arrangement also is totally different to normal reinforced concrete.
We have 2 method of prestressed conc
1 Pre-tension method
2. Post-tension method

PRE on prestressed conc doesn’t mean PRECAST conc,
All precast conc doesn’t mean they go under prestressed method of conc formation.

See attached pics of prestressed concrete system

sonnie10:

Almost all the bridges here in the US is precast. They bring those lengthy precast slabs to site with special trailers.
But the pillars are done onsite.
You could wake up to see a bridge standing where there was none the previous day.

The prestressed concrete is diff to regular precast conc as you mean sir…. Post- tension and Pre-tension method with what we called TENDON is the way here
I will explained how it’s been done soon when much less busy

Dear Esteem Customer,

We are very sorry for the sudden increase in the price of cables recently, it was not the fault of management.
The revision has become compelling as all our cost parameters have been stressed over the limits by current economic situations. We cannot keep current price levels for a sustained quality service.

As usual we know we can rely on your understanding and please raise any query that could be of mutual benefit on this matter if you have any.

Thanks


Nigerchin set to increase price any moment this week

Abeg Engr tell this people they are draining your phone battery with price increment update always ..the battery you supposed to save to help us here when we need you as usual

Kilode naa, Oo ginni

What we need to take note of here is that in most cases these guys use prestressed concrete lintels (lightweight and even with hollow core in some cases) and the quality of their blocks aren’t the same with ours.

They build with quality load bearing blocks or bricks.

Prestressed concrete is another technics to get more strength concrete.
Most new bridges in Nigeria now have this concrete system.

Same with the lintels in the first pics here...is it ok to do lintels that way? I'm not even talking about "chaining" the lintel, but having the lintel sit on a mere 3 or so inches of block wall at either end? Maybe it's just my eyes that's deceiving me sha.

Your eyes are working ok bro ..it’s more shaa..
According to books and how I was trained each lap ends of lintel should be 225mm not up to 1ft but in most cases at site we do about 400mm here.
More so lintel are not structural member and solid materials can be used as lintel “ just to cover the void area”

I.e metal, special plastic, hard wood etc

How do they pump into all these tanks. They could have used one GRP tank of higher capacity

They will pump into it easily , each tank will have separate valve, I have done 10 valve of such before for 10 tenants.
The last one i did was 6 tanks 11 tenants

waley007:
oga michillin , look at this tank , how possible is this , do you think the iron will be strong enough to withstand pressure .. it's Scarry

It’s 100pec possible look at the stand it’s 6legs and once the calculation of Load is ok then they are good to go

jabolo:


By eye really. Slimmer profile blocks are better to behold somehow.

Or, just count the number of coaches on the fence. Typical 9 inch blocks would be 9 coaches, here we have 12.

I don’t get you right, let me explain how block sizes and shape measurements to you either your block is 2” 6” 3” 14” all of them have same height it’s only the width that are difference

More so 9” block is very easy to set, you see those smaller block size like 5” 6” 7” are very hard to get a well good straight work most especially when it’s more than 6-7 courses of blocks height

See ehhh, the thing is this life is very short. I know it. What most people will regret is not what they did, but mostly what they didn’t do. I have seen people come and go, and have seen what those they left behind did with the money they couldn’t spend.
You see this life, na better money I never see. But the small God has blessed me with, I not fit kill myself !

There’s always a price to pay for quality. If the thing dey, spend am 😂

Truly there is price for quality.
But it’s not alway someone need to break bank to get what will serve you for long.
White elephant spending is not the answer always for premium things.

Not until I buy TOM FORD Monk strip of $1600 before my shoe will last for some years
I bought Watch of only $150 8yrs ago and it’s working like new till now it doesn’t fade.

But if you have money for designer things BUY ooo

walexProjects:


The cost of your units is dependent to
1.The time of purchase
2.The brand(Daikin is still the most expensive I know of in the market).

The cost of all this things now is crazy because of the exchange rate,even some big importers like Emc and panaserv don't have some units right now in Nigeria.
Sent a quotation to panaserv,got a reply that some capacities are not available for now.

I got you right my bro

Knowthis:
Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with Multi-unit split system air conditioners.

I have a 2 bedroom flat that I want to install AC into, but I want a setup where there's just one outdoor unit, and three indoor units: one for parlour, and one each for the other rooms.

Is anyone here familiar with this stuff? Which AC brand sells this in Nigeria and how much is the price range??

Thank you.

Very simple work for …Engr Topsy
