Good evening House.

This thread has been so helpful to my kobo kobo building project. I need assistance as I have been getting conflicting opinion on below and would appreciate if the professionals in the house can help me clarify.

- Which should come first after roofing - Piping of electrical and plumbing or German floor?

- Is it best to dig borehole now that we have rain or during dry season? (location is around Bogije, at Ibeju Lekki)

- Is soakaway better done now that we have rain or dry season?

- Which model is better - Cast the soakaway and sink or Dig and cast inside?

- What are the ideal order of steps to take after roofing to painting?

- Got below quote for electrical piping (Three bedroom flat), kindly assist review.

Thank you.

After roofing the next stage is the MEP first fix i.e Electrical and mechanical first first fix.
Conduit works No male bush in the electrician quotation

Also what is the size of your building that the electrician is quoting 5pkts of looping box. That is equivalent to 100 lighting points

Am back. Thank God for everything

EgunMogaji2:
Sorry this happened.

When you can, if you can, please consider sharing the experience so others can learn from it.

Thanks.

Thank you sir.


My car engine switched off on the motion in decending the otedola bridge heading to Secretariat and there was no issue with the car before leaving home on Oct 1st Friday morning. Immediately the engine went I quickly called my mechanic to tell him what happen, I was on the call when 2 guys came to knock at the driver's door glass telling me that they break my windscreen and damage the car I did not wind down. My mechanic heard about all the conversation and advice me to wind down in order not to damage my car and not to injure me too.

Before we finished the conversation they were 10 in numbers started shouting that they will damage my car with heavy stones in their hands Seriously I only have 3k on me and I was trying to beg them to collect the 3k with low and cool voice because I was in lion den. They were demanding for 100k from me.

t the end they collected my phone, searched my car and took away some things .

somehow:
Eeya, sorry to read about this.

You'll bounce back.

Amen thanks boss

gordonbarrett:
Sorry for the loss. Do report every missing item to police. Times are bad.

Thanks boss

kopell:
O ga ooo 7:30 pm, sorry brother may almighty Allah continue to protect us.

Thank you sir.

Larwin:

Thank you sir

gbadexy:

Thanks boss

Dominionng:

Please tell the 'designer' Dominion sends his regards.

Oga Dominion the building look The project we did for Nigerite in PrortHarcourt

Good evening house, I have been offline since Friday but that thank God am back.

I was robbed on Otedola bridge heading to secretariat on Oct 1st by some Bad boys around 7,30pm.

They collected everything including my ATM. But thank I quickly called my account officer to block my account.

It was a terrible situation anyway

somehow:
I share the same thoughts.

I think there are smaller tinier cameras that can replace this.

What say you @Twinskenny, @Topsy23?

Yes you can use Spy camera

Born2conquer:
Let’s hope there’s us an alternative, having this in a neighborhood will definitely make people assume someone is keeping some billions indoor.

If there’s a way for Camera to be fixed indoor and outside without it being too obvious, it will be well appreciated.

Something like this easily be placed everywhere in the house and nobody except you will know you have cameras Indoor.

Why cameras like this are okay
1)Visitors would be at ease
2) in case of robbery or Police, Efcc harassment (which we do not pray for) we can always have an evidence without this people trying to clear evidence up because they don’t even know they’re being watched

We call this spy camera

bukolo:
I am in Lagos.
There are different brands with different prices hence the reason for asking.

Thank you.

Price ranges from 3500, 4500, 5000

Depending on the thickness you want

Nero2424:
Trust me you will build iron dwarf fences, that would be the premium fence in such scenario. Lucky you, if you choose you will be in this business till Jesus come again because security can never be fixed in a country where majority of the people are very hungry.

The cost of securing a house in Nigerian is very expensive. We pay over and over again to achieve one aim.
* Build a prison wall
*Build a gate
*install electric fence/barb wire
*employer security man and build him a house
*install CCTV camera
* You add one more dude to your household in the
name of a dog.

It is well according to church goers.

Not be only church goers dey say it is well oooo

EgunMogaji2:
Especially the minimum voltage abi?

Thanks.

Minimum voltage

EgunMogaji2:
Question for the electrical gurus. I have NEPA light that’s adequately rationed in my area. The issue I have is low voltage, I get served around 80 to 110 volts.

Will the attached solve this situation? Any direct experience on this specific device?

Thanks.

Again what is the total load of your building . Is tye AVR a 3-phase or single phase?

It will but confirm the range of voltage before you buy it ooo

I learnt one or two things from this write up. Hmmm

Thanks

Fellow nairalanders, please help me investigate this case...

Cement bed, hit or miss?

Was this pesin thinking outside the box or inside the box?

Methinks our friend here just kukuma buried the box

Cement bed ke?

Thats serious

EgunMogaji2:
Pay in full upfront but asks you to hold on to it until he's ready.

We have been doing that

EgunMogaji2:
If you’re the electrical contractor hinted about by the client, will you allow him to at least pay for estimated materials?

Not sure if you guys do that in Nigeria,

You mean paying for a quote given in 3 or 4 month ago ? Or pay immediately the quotation is given to the client sir

I have a client that gave me money upfront for materials. Tye project is not ready for us to mobilize but we have bought 70% of the materials to avoid fluctuation in price

These cables delivered last week Wednesday to a client, He would have paid additional 276k for these if he waited for 24hrs after giving him quotation. He sent me the quantities on Tuesday and quote quickly sent to him. I made him realized that Coleman is increasing price the next day. He quickly transferred the money to avoid additional cost. on Wednesday the price list came out

somehow:
My QS is on this thread
My potential electrical contractor is on this thread
My potential plumber is on this thread
My potential window contractor is on this thread

Most of them know how far, they saw things themselves.

I contacted most of them months ago but due to the delays, I couldn't mobilize them.

The quotations they submitted months ago is now invalid and I must spend more to get work started

All because N3xt decided to take my being understanding for granted. Left site since May and only shows up once in green moon.

This is what you wanted, if it will help your career, fine, I tried to help you in my own little way but you think you were the smartest because I played a fool swallowing your excuses and acting as if I knew nothing about what went on on site.

Hmmm Electrical quote need to be re validate to current market price. Things have gone up in the market again becos of the new dollar rate. COLEMAN just inctrease their prices recently with about 7.5%.

Things are getting worse

Hello everyone, maybe someone will need my advice on renovation. If you have an old bathtub, the specialists can refinish it without removing it. Check out the following link, this is a really great and quick repair option. They also can reglaze the tile, it looks amazing.

A client on here purchased a Sunny Boy inverter for almost N4M trough us. Inverter only.

Cheap Chinese inverter that was installed by someone else caught fire. Took out the gateman house. So the wife wanted top of the crème.

There are ultra quiet moneybags amongst us. If you’re a seller please be humble.

I don't sell inverter and we don't install also. The brand the man bought is XANTREX made in USA.

At times the installer normally requested for a very good earthing system with value less than 1-ohm. Ours is to make provision for their connection with proper labelling and provide a solid earthing system for them.

Also proper protection of the equipment is important. Protect the inverter equipment with AVR and surge protection

n3xt:
20m is nothing in some building

That's true.

Finishing takes a lot of money for those that have taste. A ckeint spent 27.6m on solar inverter for a 6bedroom duplex

All tye diverters, during piping stage cost about 3.5m naira, a single floor drain is 74k.
The rope of block he used during construction is very strong that we have to spend alot of money buying concrete cutting disc.

Abiola365:
this is great, I just discover this thread and it's really educative, as a young electrical technician/engineer I thought I have known almost all about electrical piping before but your jobs makes me realize I still have a lot to learn, you are doing a great job sir.

Thanks for your comment
