Good morning everyone. I do hope you're all safe even in the midst of this protests. I just want to say I saw your kind words and encouragements and I want to appreciate oga Gbadexy who paid for the door and Oga Spyder who took out time from his busy schedule to review it. I want to appreciate Oga Egunmogaji and N3xt who gave me the needed opportunity to explain my works. I believe such scrutiny is needed to be able to remove the chaffs from the corn especially in this climate of fraud that we live in. I still look forward to doing that job for you oga Egunmogaji. I will do a job most welders around you can't.

My special appreciation goes to you my best customer. Thanks and stay safe

Engineering wonder. Not sure if it’s photoshop or even Nigeria.


It may be real or not. But there are lots of similar buildings/structures like this in the internet.

The intended purpose is actually just to showcase who understands the principles guiding such and if it can be done in reality.

To the experts in the house prove your worth.

I am also interested in this door.. I will be needing 10units in a project at ogijo shagamu.

Oga spider, won't mind if you can explain in details the following about the door..

- it durability to be used for internal doors like rooms and toilets

-Available sizes it comes.... 6inches, 9inches, 3feets, 21/2 feets doors

-Sound / noice when opening or closing

-price
as I have explained always, these doors can be used for interior and exterior needs.
About the toilet aspect, I will suggest that you use these aluminum doors cause of the water splashes (no steel can survive caustic soda from soap no matter how strong it is. Just give it time and the water will ruin it)
The doors can be customized as to your needs from the size of the frames which can be 5",6" or more. The doors sizes can be customized too.
About the locks, it's dealers choice but I always tell people to buy at least the quality on the door in review cause the cost of replacing the locks always offset the little savings you're trying to make.
The price of the door is 20,000 and 30,000 for the 3ft and 4ft respectively.
Kindly contact me with the attached detail

Are you joking 40k daily
Any time I see u I will park well
Jesus -I need help


Him no dey joke. Engineers in the real sense don't collect #5k/day and that's why certain people opt for lump sum according to milestone achieved for clients who are not willing to go by percentage.


My family house had an issue that resulted in a fire explosion that affected some parts of the decking caused by an idiot and we planned taking the case to the court.
The Engineer who supervised the people who came to run certain tests on the build charged my family #25k/day which actually was not more than 3 hours per day on the various days they came.

Just cutting the story short.
NB:The idiot who brought the team could not get a registered engineer who could append his credentials on the finished report.

seriously it is very simple and beautiful. Just use strong materials like 2.5mm pan and 3mm angle iron and you have yourself a very durable gate. It's funny how beautiful things aren't too complicated

Construction works are partially on hold right now due to the unforeseen situations (unrest, protests, inflation, increasing cost of building materials).

Once the project is finalized, I’d get in touch.

Kudos to everyone building right now. I do not envy you at all!

I think cement price is still stable here. I was on a project yesterday and we still got #2400. Though it’s a government project (Ogun state affordable housing).

Everybody in Nigeria is a SARS grin

the welder did a fine job especially when it comes to finishing. But the job has taken a while in my opinion sha. It's more than two months I believe.

But nevertheless, you got something good there

I know you will deliver too. Saved, if I ever needed a rolling gate in future especially auto-rolled.
Please post if you get better sleeve gates, need to replace a gate one of the supplier's driver here damaged few months ago.

Yes! I think Naija welders are doing great. On the flipside, it’s very hard to get a reliable carpenter/woodworkers in Nigeria.

I always give my welders and carpenters ample time and all the needed resource/support to deliver a very good job. Though at extra cost cool

this type of lock isn't too common here. We always love to lock our door when we want and not involuntarily when the door jams.

I like your business spirit chief! You still appreciate and take time to still further convince your critics.
Space and strategic location is what is delaying me doing business with you. I've read it being mentioned already that similar ones go for around 40k in Ibadan so I know your prices are very competitive and your explanations on the different grades very detailed.
I wish you best of luck.

Good evening.

The area of your room is 12.96 square metres.
If you want to tile the room, the quantity of tiles you're gonna need is 15 square metres inclusive of skirting.

If you're buying 400mm x 400mm porcelain tiles, there are 12 pieces in a carton, hence the area of 1 carton is 1.92 square metres.

For 15 square metres (quantity needed for your room), you will need approximately 8 cartons.

Cost per carton is around #2800.

I hope you find this helpful.




Yeah thanks God bless you
