olivino:
Well done oga skimanski. I have been following some of ur works especially in Lagos Island and I noticed u always reinforced ur german floor with steel and u always use DPM. But I noticed in this ur construction u did none of that. Please may I know ur reasons for that. Thanks.

Its mainly to Protect the wood and Make it a bit more reusable after the Concrete Process and also to reduce the spillage of cement and ensure a neater cast as 1x12 wood cannot be equal enough to meet and cover all joints.

PAINTING: Arrival of our Scaffold components from Lagos for External painting, considering the height of building

segzy14:

.

SWIMMING POOL: Back to swimming Pool, After Iron Steel Rebars for the Swimming pool, we are Covering the Facials before Mechanical and electrical Works.

(Wood Works in Pics)

ROOFING: Hidden Roof System. How Water Issue is Taken Care Of. Picture SHows the Drain Created for Water after complete Plastering to Slope Towards Floor Drain.

Baba Eguns, As much as I blame the Govt for the things that happen. even we still should share the part of the Blame. because i remember when people were saying how can someone charge over 600k for plastering a duplex here on this forum. We argued the issue as if the guys that charged it had committed a crime. If you do a calculation of 25dollars for a Mason here, then you will be shocked you are looking at over N1.5m for that Job.

Now this is it, even if we see a Julius berger kind of artisan here in Nigeria, we would still insist he charges at the least not too far off from what the normal guys are charging. Most time we want him to charge same with the normal guys. I remember the guys that had that argument then on this forum most likely live overseas.

allCopacetic:
Lol, this is baffling Chief.



Again u put the cost of Labour before the quality of Labour.... This is where the conflict is .
If there is a standard in labour quality, as obtains in other climes, it'll be very easy to set a standard for the fees, as there is a set, basis for comparison.
Infact the consumers stand to gain more , I can collect as many quotes as I like and pick the most affordable, knowing that each and every quote will lead to the delivery of a good job. In the end it'll even make standard labour rates irrelevant. As some people will be willing to deliver at slightly less to get competitive edge.

You also seem to forget that in other feilds outside of Electircal, I am also a consumer like you, and i know the natural need for good bargains. But This will not make me put the cart before the horse.

Boss You seem to always hit the Nail right at the Point @ Bolded

EgunMogaji:
With a pricing structure clients can have a sound expectation.

Bros, please, Nigeria is very expensive. For quality level of material and labor.

To get the same level of USA building then you have to hire Skimanski or Julius Berger

Bros I can agree interms of Equipment based Jobs and in terms of Materials that are Brought in only from the US. But in terms of Materials that come in from Other location like China and in terms of Labour. forget it. You cannot compare. Overseas are very expensive. if you disagree with me Bros. Can you tell me how much to Hire a Mason to work for you in the US?

KITCHEN PANTRY WORKS.

BEFORE & AFTER

POP WORKS: Living room and Dinning POP Works

POP WORKS: Ante room POP Works

EgunMogaji:
The building industry needs to come up with a pricing structure.

This will help greatly.

Nigeria as a country is not Soundly structured enough to have a functioning Pricing system. Until it does, we have to continue with our own functions systems.

and Bros note. This are very expensive in this Locations that we say have pricing structures than in Nigeria.

FENCE WORKS: Also Work is ongoing on the Parameter fencing, as Early stage of Block Works has just Started

SECURITY DOORS: After Plastering works. The next step is to Install Security Doors.

In Pics. China Doors for the Flat Section and Turkey Doors for the Duplex Section.
