gentlemen, can we just go back to the property issues this thread was made for? am already having headache reading all these political related issues. thank you

mufutau55:
You are exactly right... if you intend to use good PVC like Amoula Paragon, the cost is now similar to POP. So POP wins hands-down.

Hajji M.

the way PVC is destroyed by fire shld create a form of fear in everyone building a house now

kopell:
I think we should go back to building houses and housing related matters, that this section is ment for jare. In other not to short cut our brothers and sisters seeking advised in building related issues.

u are right. just talking about the way things are makes me sick.

please, I know we have talked about this before but let's look at it again: what is the cost implication of using gypsum ceiling in relation to PVC n the other ceiling board. thank you

2 of my friends are currently in both Rwanda and the UAE to open up a business, the one in Rwanda is about opening one of the best entertainment industry in kigali with other businesses along the line, the other one has opened a big African entertainment club in the UAE, to get his operating license in the UAE was not easy initially but a local emirati from the royal family took the issue to the king of Dubai and the king ordered the ministry in charge to issue the guy both the alcohol license and the clubbing business, the guy has opened it and it is a first class entertainment spot in the Difc zone in Dubai, to rent a building in that zone is not a child's play not to talk of having a first class entertainment center there but the king of Dubai approved the license for my friend, other countries are attracting investment but the giant of Africa is sleeping

when companies are closing down from Nigeria. Nobody wants to invest in a country without policy direction. the cost of doing business here is out of this world: u provide ur power, ur access road, ur security, pay the community ppl and all manner of spending.
a country where banks give loans on interest as high as 28%. am tired of talking about here

They are currently building two houses near me here. One of them has not been worked on for 30 days. They are there today and I asked the foreman why they haven't been coming to work (I work form home so I hear their noise all day when they are there). He said they were waiting for the City Inspector to come and do site inspection and they couldn't continue until he signs off.

In Nigeria we don't have that, so people will just use anything to build because no one will check.

I weep. even when inspection is done purportedly, it is just a money making opportunity.
there is a block of stalls in my street built beside a transformer n under power cables. I was happy when I saw *stop work* inscription.
one week down, the stalls have been completed and ppl are already selling it

klark3:
Majority of the bungalows we have in this country were built with 6" blocks.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with building a bungalow with 6" blocks. As long as the blocks are of good quality. some people even use 5" blocks for bungalow, i am sure u haven't see such before.

hahaha my father's 6 bedroom that we only use during Christmas only was built with 5" and it's over 24 years old now.

AngelicBeing:
Interesting points

thanks. u answered it in plain language for all of us to understand.
I have one more question!! is anything wrong if one builds a bungalow apartment with just 6" blocks?

tevanso:
u can only do that for the interior walls meanwhile u have to block part of the holes with rubbles before casting to avoid waste of materials

thank you.
one more thing! is anything wrong with building a 3 bedroom apartment with only 6" blocks only?

tevanso:
u can only do that for the interior walls meanwhile u have to block part of the holes with rubbles before casting to avoid waste of materials

thank you

tevanso:
break the interior part of the block so that the concrete u are going to cast can enter inside the block and block the hole .

so, I can just use concrete to cover the block holes round and about. especially the external walls?

Good pm all. I notice some inscription on our cement like 32.5R, 45N and others. my question is what is the advantage of one over another? or how does the use of any of them affect the quality of ur build

it is cheap because they make their money from sale of replacement engine n gear

IwILLnOTdIE:
Dear PropertyLander,

Thank God for one good news from my state

EBIE

valacious:
If at beginning of a building you skipped German floor due to cash constraints, what can you do to remedy the consequences you talked about when you are now financially buoyant, just before flooring and completing the house?

our oga, please consider this question too.
is there any way out?

tevanso:
we have bought 3500 blocks so far and 100 bags of cement, 30 wood

tevanso:
My brother ,the dollar increase is an opportunity for our gullible business men to suck their customers dry .Prices of commodities in Nigeria don't obey the law of gravity, once its high u need a special divine intervention to bring it down.

All of us are the problems of this nation
