Sultty: It's not really as cheap as people assume. Though quick to construct but you need to pay attention to the hidden costs. One of the hidden costs of a container is the cost of transportation to your site and the cost to rent a crane to set it onto the foundation. If the interior finishes are EXACTLY the same as what you'd get in a traditional brick and mortar build then its cost comparison of being cheaper or not will only be felt in the amount spent on the foundation, carcassing, and the roof. To set the records straight, most people will not see it as a home to live. |

n3xt: Proverb 27:6 "Better are the wounds of a friend, than the deceitful kisses of an enemy." Ecclesiastes 3:7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak Hebrews 12:6 because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son I am going to encourage you to go and read my posts on this issue again and if you still believe my post is in support of your accuser it means I am wrong. Please accept my apology. Peace 1 Like |

Dijita: Apology accepted sir. I only think you went too far though. On the same night the allegation was raised, I have ongoing discussion with you and a couple of nairalanders. I personally chatted you less than 24 hours after the allegation was raised and even show you why I couldn’t reply (screenshot). I didn’t get any response to my chat from you up till moment but I saw a lot of unnecessary comments trying to show the world/forum/community how I offered incoherent explanation and was beating about the bush bla blah... As if that wasn’t enough, the project we were discussing was given to another contractor (Well, he’s my brother too) and you came to rub it off on me. I have no issues with that though. What else do I need to read/see to know your stand on the issue? I didn’t assume. There are every pointer that you already concluded that the accuser is right and I am wrong. It’s not high expectation or chastisement, it’s just a complete error of judgement. What happens to fair hearing At the same time, 2 nights after the issue 2 people from the platform committed funds to handle their project. They saw the story but moved on. We’ve tidied up their job without issues. I handle scores of issues like this on a daily basis. Even most people dread to bring up issues like this to me because they knew I’ll always sue for peace. I still handled one some few weeks ago between a reputable builder and a client and it ended well. I’ve mediated in a supplier vs builder issue even without both parties knowing I was involved up till date. ______ Below is your first post and my chat with you on the issue. 6 Likes

Is that the cost of rendering the parapet alone or does the cost covers the whole duplex? saintgwizard: |

saintgwizard: Jasobry: Wait, wait, @ saintgwizard, are you asking the cost of dressing the parapet of the house alone or cost of plastering the whole house? @ Jasobry, N150,000 for plastering and dressing only on a simple duplex parapet is too high. However, if the parapet is to be designed with more ornamental materials, belts, lines and other busy designs, it could attract higher costs, but not necessarily on plastering and dressing. The picture below is an example of what I mean by a designed parapet. This could be costly because of the additional work to be done on it, apart from plastering and dressing works. 5 Likes

megacontrol: The issue of reinforcement is problematic due to one, lack of standard and the fact that most wholesaler doesn't have a standard lab to test the engineering strength of the reinforcement. If I'm working on heavy structures like, frames of heavy building, retaining walls, culvert etc, I request for tensile test, bending and others test from the rod sellers but for simple structures where strength is not of primary importance I work with whatever reinforcement I can lay my hand on. On-site, we do simple bending test, to know how brittle and ductile the reinforcement is. Also, at the designing stage, I try as much as possible not to overworked the reinforcement by simply working with utilization ration of 50%. Finally, most of what we build here are small structures of a storey to maximum four storeys and as a result, poor sizing of structural members like beams, columns, and footings is responsible for structural failures rather the actual strength of reinforcement. 1 Like |

Sultty: Shipping container might be cost-effective, in the developed world where labour is expensive but not so in Nigeria where labour is cheap. People build with Sancrete blocks because it's is the cheapest method of building partition walls. Other cheaper alternatives like Rammed earth construction has not really taken off in Nigeria and may not be suitable for mega city like Lagos where laterites can't easily be sourced and move around. If you a fan of minimalistic construction then you can try container building, but if you going into it for cost, then look at Rammed earth construction. 1 Like |
