Thank you sir.

I sat and i thought of a lot of things, building materials are unnecessarily high now,

Is it possible for a crash to happen? Crash as in the price of these things to come down suddenly,

2)what will happen to those who built houses with the expensive building materials once the prices crash?

Someone adviced builders to chill till the end of the year that price of items will come down back.

What’s your thought?

His charge was for everything, including the screeding of the fascia and soffit

Focusmind:


Dominionng is the known expert in that space. He did mine and the outcome was good. He will give you option of either using wood or iron grid to hold the board to the roof. I opted for the iron grid, though more expensive, 3X the cost of using wood but the durability is assured against ferocious weather elements.

Update

As I was about responding to your first message, my phone went off. I’m sorry it took a while to attend to this.

I’ve reached out to Chekitaut and got his own side of the story.

According to him, here’s the chronology order of event between you:

1. 600 bags of cement (Lafarge) ordered 3 weeks ago

2. Due to accessibility issue, the cement was delivered in batches. First batch 300 bags was delivered.

NB: He didn’t tell me you had an agreement to do it this way.

3. The 2nd installment was expected from a delivery made to another distributor he joined with to lift a truck.
However, due to the cost of transloading the cement he couldn’t take the cement. The truck was charging extra N250/bag from Ewekoro.

4. The total amount involved in this transaction is N2,160,000. Breakdown below:

- Cost per bag = N3,600
- Cost of 300 bags delivered = N1,080,000
- Cost of 300 bags undelivered = N1,080,000
- Total Amount refunded so far = N700,000
This was made in 2 installments (N500k and N200k).

- Outstanding Balance = N380,000

5. He’s expecting the balance from the cement distributor he’s partnering on this and promised to pay back within the week.



I’ll plead with you to allow some time to sort this out. I’m in the same business and I can tell you cement ordering these days is a huge risk.
He didn’t deny the transaction. I hope you can give him a little more time to find an amicable resolve.

Please feel free to share your own part of the story to confirm if the probe above is correct and for learning purpose sir.

We are here to learn from each other and help others become better.

Thanks for your understanding sir. Hoping for a positive resolve.

Thank you for your understanding.

I agree that Chekitaut didn’t handle this well and there’s no excuse to justify this. He didn’t explore all the options available.
He could have reached out to see if there are other suppliers around who have something around the area.

We’ve worked together on similar stuff in Ilishan before. I could have linked him up with one of the FSA in the area. I got 800 bags from Ewekoro about the same time (29th May) without making any commitment.

I’ll keep you posted once I have more info on his repayment plan.

Let’s pray he’s able to meet up this time.
My sincere apologies for all the inconveniences this might have caused you.

EgunMogaji2:
How can people justify using customers money to do business? Or not have reserves that matches exposures on ongoing deals?

More more plaster board

Alot of factors are involved though. Size of buildings, the "quantity of walls", quantity of concrete to chisel etc..

For this job, any competent work man will charge at least 1 million. Most likely more than that.

UC92:

Your workmen must be big guys.
I think 600-700k can comfortably do the job.

n3xt:


I really can’t say as this depends largely on many factors but I’d set aside 800k - N1m as labour charge for it.

I pay my guys something within that range.

Edit:

Thank you sir
Sorry I’m just seeing the 4 bedroom duplex part. I think you should be prepared to pay more but not more than 1.5m though.

n3xt:


This is laughable though!

We ain’t struggling to win over mega-deals within our first 6 month of existence and you think this would.

It might be a good time to roll out some of the amazing projects happening lately on that platform - kobocity.


@n3xt please leave all this people alone, we are your follower both on nairaland and kobocity. Me personally I have benefited alots from your posts. Thanks

When you get to the plastering of a house, many things are involved. The plastering charge is usually skill based, the more the skills, the more the charge. Another thing to consider is the scope of the plastering work planned. Is is the plastering of walls only or plastering with dressing of all corners, window dressing, door dressing, designs on walls, belts etc?
