It's not false, there's a place I know you can get that kind of house for 800k if you know how to bargain. 12m can get me 16 of that house.

Buy, rent or lease .. wonders shall never end. Even if you get the sand free , wood free , what of roofing sheets, tye nails etc .. Can you get that roofing less 2m ?

michlins:
no sir. We buy and build what we want at our own pace.

Okay

michlins:
here in Nnewi,we buy land not building. The price of the house will be determined by the position of the land

You mean there is no developers in your area . Those that build and sell like we have in Lagos and other state ?

KolaShangOne:
How much do you think this building is worth 20? 30? 40? 50million?

If it is in gbagada estate phase 2 , the house Worth 80-100m

My plumber says he will run water pipe through the roof after the frame for the roof is completed (water tank sits on decking over the staircase leading to the first floor).

Is this a new practice in plumbing cos I have not seen anywhere water pipes run through the roof .

Yes he can run the water supply pipes in the ceiling void. It's not a problem. But he must pressure test the discharge line very well. And you might likely use a pressure/booster pump to boost the pressure because your first pressure will be low somehow

Born2conquer:
We use a 8kva generator, the biggest thermocool generator to power the pumping machine

You are good to go then

Born2conquer:
So we have to change the pump? What is the suggested pump size that would make sense for the tanks?

I hope the voltage in that area is okay to carry at least to carry a bigger size of pump

I will suggest 1.5hp or 2hp. But confirm the Voltage in that area first before you make your choice

Born2conquer:
Seems it is 1Hp or something, the borehole is at the back yard while the overhead tank is by the gate in front

The size of the pump is small compare to the litres of pump. The pump will over work and might likely affect the coil in future

Born2conquer:
Our two tanks (3000litres per one) do take about 2hrs before they get filled up from the borehole,

Is there a way to make it faster?

What is the size of the pumping machine?
Is the tank far from the overhead water tank?

Normally if you want to buy a LOWARA pump what they normally use to calculate the size of pumps are. Head(I.e the distance of your borehole to the overhead tank and tye flow rate per second). At times you can have a less capacity with good flow rate and good head that can perform better than bigger size if pump.

Good morning

Hello guys,

I recently got BOQ for cost of site preparation up to DPC level for a 5 bedroom duplex, with an estimation of ~ 20M. Before we got to the stage, the consultant had hinted at a rough estimate of about 7M +/- months back. Thus, this BOQ is a shocker to me.

I find it hard to understand this drastic increase - understandably, inflation in the past few months is insane, yet 7 --> 20M is

A few notes:
- Land is in Arepo
- Fairly water logged area
- Requires site clearance
- The consultancy is already factored into this estimate.

My question, is this estimate normal? Is it the going rate considering inflation these days?

You can involve quantity surveyor to help you generate the bill of quantities to have a second to checkmate what your civil engineer gave you

Nice week ahead

Nice week ahead

Thank you Topsy23, they are both surface tanks (Main and reserve).

We are getting a filter to handle the sand aspect.

Quarterly washing (Both reserve and main) has now been activated.

Yeah quarterly washing is okay

Call us today

You did right thing my brother. It happened to me some years back. I wanted to drop my offering in the envelope and I saw 500naira in the envelope, my told me straight that I should try to remove it. I quickly added mine and dropped it together.
That particular week God surprised me.

Hello house.

Please, for a treated borehole sending water with some particles of sand from the reserved tank to the main tank, what can be done to eliminate sand from getting to the main tank?

To the few plumbers we have on this thread and to the knowledgeable ones here.

Thank you.

Is the tank surface or underground tank?

Option 1 Surface Ground tank
If it is surface tank, you need regular cleaning of the tank because the purpose of the reservoir is to allow water to settle before transferring it to overhead water tank. There will be some particles after treating the water. Also, you need to introduce filter as well.

Option 2 Underground Tank
If it is underground water tank you should have less particle of sand. You need to leave like 300mm (i.e minimum of one foot) between the pipe taking the water to overhead tank and the base of the underground tank. Also, make sure your plumber fix foot valve the water taking water to overhead. Regular washing is also required.

Good Morning All,

Can you please assist me to know if the height of this Roofing work can be reduced ?

I need enough spacing to be available for a window on the wall of the Duplex behind ,

The carpenter went ahead to make it higher after we already concluded for a shorter height.

The reason he gives is due to rain downpour.

I am about telling him to reduce it because the number and budget of stoan coated roofing tiles have increased.

Thanks and Regards

Is the bungalow fully detached from the duplex or semi-detach. If the bungalow is fully detached from the duplex he can reduce the height BUT you might have some wastage on the wood. Do your calculation before you proceed with adjustment

money121:
Tell the same carpenter to loose the wood work and reduce it

Hope there will be no wastage if they are to redo all the wood work. To me personally the height is okay

FEGEITOK:
Big question.

Here is how I look at it.

iPhones are made in China and no one complains about the quality.

That said, I went for the Panasonic made in Malaysia and not China.

Somehow I felt that they are better, no empirical evidence in support though.

The final decision seems to be more emotional than rational.

Apart from the country of manufacture, you should also consider the features/pricing.

There is the economy model, there is the standard model and there is the premium model from both brands.

That said, Daikin is made in India, last I checked. At least those coming to MEA

Many people prefer made in Malaysia to China type.

God will help Nigeria, this is something that we can start producing Nigeria but my concern is that CAN NIGERIA PATRONIZE MADE IN NIGERIA PRODUCTS ? Apart from Cables and few other products people always scared of made in Nigeria product.

How many people are using INNOSON . Motors in Nigeria compare to Toyota, Honda, Benz, etc
