Can anybody help me please, my parents house after completing the roofing we decided to add more space to the existing room as well as a toilet.

On doing that now, we got carpenters who specialize in roofing to help us fashion another roof for the attachment to add to the existing roof. We did that and it keeps leaking

This is the fourth guy coming to work on it and it keeps getting worse.

Pls how do we do this perfectly, can we just use decking or what roofing style can help? Pls

HI, Good day,

The actual problem is the roofing material used not the carpenters.
The more they climb it, the more it wld have issues..

You might have to change the roofing sheet in totality.

decatalyst:


Thank you for your feedback.

On what can I negotiate?

Just labour or the number of Cements?

ON LABOUR - The cement quantity seems OK.... plus or minus few bags.....
summary: cement seems ok.

I have waited for this long to exposed the fraudulent activity being perpetrated by SEGCYMOOR .

As i have done in the past with other criminally minded contractor like Brickdevo, my main objective was to expose these criminal elements on Nairaland so as for others not to fall victim to these bastards.

I gave SEGCYMOOR { a.k.a MOORE} building contract in 2022 to construct for me. I had a sound rapport with him from the beginning of the construction, am sure other people that i sub-contract to on here can attest to that fact ( because they warned against overly trusting this guy). The problem between us started from the roofing stage and modification done on the building without my say so. Moore suggested to me that the roofing design on the architectural drawing should be changed so as to forestall roof leakages in the future and i accepted his suggestion with promise from him to use the difference in the roof work to do part of my fencing work.

Just for context purpose , the building carcass was finished around February 2023 but our agreement on using my other balance to carry out other job has not seen the light of days up till now.

Apart from aforementioned problems, he neglected some block work in the building with other related issues which i had to do on my own. I paid this lunatics every penny we agreed on but he refused to refund me of my money claiming financial difficulties in Nigeria.

The roofing he did was not even properly done and he recently sent someone to look at it .. but that one brought few nails and other stuff s and it was obvious to naked eyes that the job was not properly executed .

The Aluminium was not done to our agreed specification. All his shady dealing were just coming to light now, someone on here informed me of his bad dealing which I wasn’t privy to till date though . Another notable member here can also attest to shitty block work done.

I know some of you contractors here works in unison and you might want to come and ridicule what transpired between us but am ready for you lot.

SEGCYMOOR Omo ole …be ready for me, i will definitely teach you a lesson you will not forget in a hurry.

Just say you know, my end of the month ultimatum still stands if at that point you choose not do the needful then your image will be totally shattered in few of the dailies in Nigeria before we now meet in person.

Man you are so bleeped.

SEGCYMOOR kindly take a 2nd look at all the works you did and remedy them were needed.

Client satisfaction shd always be a priority before profit..

Goodluck

Olumighty123:
Please house, what do you think about this tank sitting on the iron like this? Will there be leakage sometimes later? Or it's all good as it is? Just wondering 🤔

Its better to lay wood on them before the tank...

My property is located on a swampy area and I need advice on what to build...

A bio digester or a normal septic system?

I have an existing septic system (big one too that's use by my family alone) but I have to get someone to pump out the waste every 2 months which is not normal. I was told it was because it was not built properly but am scared of making the same mistake twice. So please people with either system on a swampy area please share your experience with me.

stick with the traditional method and just ensure they do it well.....

Land aside, can 20m build a 15 rooms (single room with toilet and bathroom), with a large hall ?

Hello House please how much will it cost to build 4BR bungalow in Mowe, Ogun State.
Thanks in anticipation of your feedback.

Hi.
What's the answer you seek?

Just start and find out..

Akerewe:
Good day engineer in the house,

Pls is it possible to use 60*60 tiles on toilet and bathroom wall?

The answer is yes....most suitable for BIG size toilets / bath.

You just need to make sure its Matt (non slippery) tiles.

Balistic4:
Guys, I've been afraid to do my electrical ever since I got this quote from my electrician. Please someone should help me check these. My house is 3 bedroom bungalow with 4 toilets.

Are these materials too much? Can anyone supply me original and complete cable with warranty at cheaper rate? I'm in abuja

Way too much IN MY OPINION.

I say this having 2 things on mind.

1. My house is a duplex and I didn't buy this much
2. My electrical Engr did an estimate for another duplex recently and he didn't get this much cables (pls don't ask me to link him to you, he's not available)

3. 16mm is run from your meter to the DB - how far is that distance to require 2 coils (yes he needs red and black but a fraction of 1 is OK - not the full coil) eg you might need half of red and half of black.

My comments are based on the 3 above - still seek advice from another electrical expert.

Goodluck

MDDarah84:
Help me,
My tiler is charging me #900 per square meter.
Is this not overcharging please?

Project is in Ondo state

Might not be
Tilers charge btw 750 - 1000 these days.

The amount depends on his quality of work.

Just negotiate to what you can afford.

Goodluck

Has anyone used styrofoam for the coping of a planter? I'm wondering if it's appropriate as people would like stand or seat on it from time to time.

I'd love to hear your thoughts about this.

If people wld sit or walk / stand on it... I ts not advisable.

I've used it in a similar situation and it requires a lot of maintenance from time to time... Too frequent to advice its usage.

ojasweb:


Yes i get receipt and everything is included in the official file.

Lol.. You still didn't answer the question but it's okay.

Thanks for sharing.

ojasweb:


Fees depend on the project and size. Commercial project is more expensive.

You didn't answer his question..

Is 3m the official fees? Did u get a receipt for all the 3m

Itzkingtimmy:
Good evening everyone, pls someone should help me to check this quotation i got
plastering of parapet- 140k
plastering of building - 400k
plastering of fence - 250k (70x120)
german floor - 100k
5 bedroom bungalow

overcharged or okay?

Plastering of parapet - depends on how well or how bad the parapet is (IF its good, there is no need to plaster it, but to consider plastering means it's probably bad so 140k is not too much, if a good work wld be done.

Plastering of a 5 bedroom flat at 400k is not bad... OK

Plastering of fence @ 250k (let's see the design) but 250k is TOO HIGH for a 70x120 land fence.

German floor at 100k is OK - If you can get a price reduction, even better.

Goodluck

This is my building I was talking about that the foundation was low @ Saydfact and oda gurus in the house. My house is also the lowest point in that street. I was advised to do clay tiles. What do u think I can do too

Morning sir,
if most of the water comes from the road (where the man stood to take the pics), then construct a gutter (about 600mm deep) on this side of the building we're seeing and channel the water into a shallow well (dig a well, of about 3 rings on the left side).

This should solve the problem.

IF the water comes from the right also, then repeat on that side too (ditto for the four sides).

Keep me updated.

Goodluck

Yampotatocarrot:


Boss, not trying to argue with you, but my research showed that it's actually cheaper than using block...

Infact, I used to think using brick will make the house hot, but I discovered it rather makes the house colder, even when outside is hot (those of us that used calabash pot for water will understand)...

I appreciate your response and look forward to more... Maybe there's something I don't know, why people don't use it

Thanks boss.
Let's analyse it.

What makes brick more expensive.

1. Block is about 5k - 6k per m2 while brick is about 10k - 15k

2. Block has zero cost for transportation while brick could cost as much as 200k or more to transport the entire bricks needed on a 3 bedroom bungalow (about 20,000 pcs).... If you're in the same state where it's being produced or millions if its Abuja to Lagos and the project is a duplex.

3. For conduit pipes, you break blocks and plaster back, while you'll need mechanical tools and or accessories and ducts to make that possible in brick.

4. Labour for block is readily available at about N1000 per m2 while Labour for brick is scarse and more expensive (even worse if its the local home baked bricks)

5. Any error on laying blocks can be concealed with plastering, while you'll need to condemn the brick and start afresh or end up with a bad looking structure. WINK!

6. For the locally made bricks, available of clay soil is an issue....

You're right.
Brick makes the indoor cooler on hot days and makes it warmer on cold night.

We all shd be using brick in 9ja... But the cost is killing ooh... Lagos Poly started with brick at their permanent site but had to abandon the project and completed it with blocks.

I'll like to read about your research, we can learn from it also.
Thanks.

Elxandre:

Hello sir.
I need help.
A plumber just quoted 150k for me for 1500 litres.
He said that's the price for rubber tank. Is that true?
Also, if I go there myself, will they show me the rubber and plastic variants?

If you go yourself, YES they'll show you the rubber and plastic.

Plastic is usually about 20k cheaper than rubber... Don't know of current prices thou.
