People or Pipu of this section.

What is going on with the price of TMT Iron rod? from 300k - 390k in just 2 months

God safe us. Who did we offend in this country.

Please if you have a good source for iron rod. Not mixed. You can drop your contact.

In situation like this, I look for other areas to save without compromising on standards.

_______
Sometimes ago, I bought and prepared my 10mm stirrups (over 500 pcs) in Sagamu cos I got it cheaper there.

We recently did a similar thing for @folmus
His starter bars were prepared in Sagamu.

_______
Just this evening, I delivered Formwork for the casting of columns, beams, Lintels and slab at my ongoing project.

The intention is to eliminate the need to buy woods on the project. The savings can be channeled into something else.

Ok.
Do you recall the price range?
A seller told me if the barbwire passed through the salt side of the sea, the barbs must rust with time. He said I should buy the stainless type instead @46k per bundle against the other of 12500 per bundle.

... I didn't want to argue with him about the "salt side of the sea thing", I just drove away lol

I do not recall the price at all. Sorry.

Could you consider electrified fence? That’s what I’ll be using going forward.

Although that person's experience is very valid, I don't believe this generalization holds having specified Nigerian tiles throughout my builds (soppy patroit me). For one, we might be doing our local industry a disservice.

I'm no expert though but some other opinion might be helpful eg, from someone that installs tiles on an ongoing basis eg ... @Rotecch77

Thanks for the mentioned
Some Nigeria tiles are very good as China brand but not as Spanish or Italian tiles.
To save cost you can use Nigeria tiles for all your toilet wall and floor, with rooms. Sittingroom ( optional)
With this you are good to go.

Ok sir, can I space columns at intervals of 3.5m as against 3m ?
.

For the fence yes of course and the 3metre is not a rule but a Nigeria factor.
And construction methodology to me .

Reason below
The column provided is meant to stiffened the wall along that part for lateral force like wind not to act all through it length and destroy it over night. If there's column at 3.5m spacing it means u stiffened each bay and failure will be minimal if there is.

Does long fence drag themselves in stack and slide down

For those that work for their money:

On page 2070, I showed how you can do a search in this section. I would recommend add fraud after the username or add scam for example if a username is “oloriole” search for:

“Oloriole fraud”
“oloriole scam”

notice the space between the words.

This helps to narrow things down quite a bit. Assuming, of course, that the person has had an accusation. Some of your search results could simply be a person commenting on another’s fraud accusation so a search result does not mean the searched user ID was accused of fraud. Please read carefully. I saw some user IDs like that whose only connection was commenting on threads where someone else had been accused.

In cases where the searched ID has been accused of fraud, you would need to patiently dig down further and hopefully get the whole story. Remember that an allegation does not mean confirmation however if it walks like a duck? As I have learnt in this section, attempted fraud/scam is not the same as actual fraud/scam, some have proclaimed that you have to wait for a couple of weeks to cry out i.e. give the fraudster time to finish spending your money first. Maybe you subscribe to that separation, maybe you don’t. To each his own. The main thing is to complete as much independent research as possible on that individual(s). A search does not offer 100% guarantee, after all a non scammer only needs one case to be called a scammer but at least, depending on how long the vendor has been on here, it’s a start.

Note that some people love the idea of scrubbing posts so that a scammer’s history is wiped clean once he has settled the scammed. I think that’s a terrible idea but that is the logic a lot of our people embrace. Once you refund, the crime is erased, the scammer is pressured into deleting the posts where he called out the scammer. As a result, you may not find full details of previous drama, leaving someone else at the mercy of that same scammer. Very much the same as those who say don’t talk about brabus / kobocity / n3xt / brabusng’s previous scams because they were committed when naira was toilet tissue a long time ago.

I did a few searches using the criteria I described above and I was shocked to see that someone with no scandals in the property section is a decorated fraudster in the phone section. Now, maybe that wouldn’t matter to you and maybe it would. It’s your money, you be the judge. Scams are committed at every and any stage of the construction process, from procuring materials to hands on construction and everything in between and believe me, no amount is too small. These thieves are not selective.

Never forget that birds of the same feather flock together. In his glory days when victims were rolling in, brabusng / n3xt / brabus subcontracted work to some of the individuals on here. I can’t assume that every one of those people is a fraudster but let’s just say that some of those people generally found/find it easier to defend him when his escapades become public. I have no doubt they’re still waiting on the sidelines for something to drop for them once a new maga is reeled in. Some have been with him since 2013. I saw a post by a vendor back in 2013 , basically patting brabus / n3xt / brabusng on the back for the 2013 Port Harcourt disaster. Same character with multiple victims in the phone section was on here this week with an asinine comment. So, always be very, very careful. When sh**t hits the fan, the people that put mouth are not always objective. Some are only putting mouth to protect their own interests.

Yesterday, I said most vendors are good. I am taking that statement back. Not because it’s untrue but because I realize that I truly just do not know, I have no personal experience. It’s up to the people with firsthand experience to make those claims.

If you see something, please say something. Do not wait until someone else calls out a fraudulent vendor before piggybacking to call them out too. Why are you shielding a fraudster? The ever ready sentiment of “it will affect his livelihood “ is b***shit, pardon my French. Hardly anyone comes public with issues unless they have made repeated unsuccessful attempts to reach the vendor so don’t let anyone guilt-trip you to keep quiet while the scammer pays you a reduced settlement amount small-small or not at all.

Another day and the screenshot below is by mavverick, another of brabusng / n3xt / brabus’ victims. By the way, n3xt / brabusng / brabus freely uses his real name on this site so don’t hesitate to do a search on it if you wish. As mavverick noted, brabusng had suppporters back then. I don’t think I know those people and I cannot say whether or not they are/were his friends but there are others whose names are not mentioned in the post who are still very much here so be very careful. If they support fraud, then how likely is it that they can conduct business without fraud? Show me your friends and I’ll tell you. . . . . . . .

In business, your professional image should be your overriding concern. If you can sacrifice it for a scammer, then . . . . .

Hello Engineers, I m currently working on foundation for a fenced estate at Lakwe. Fence is about 300m in length.

What type of foundation is recommended between an Inverted T beam or a Rectangular beam ?

Inverted T beam
But make sure all other factors like mix n bars are sufficient.

The recent rain that fell delt me a big blow. Water was entering into the main sitting room and the kitchen through the door of the ground floor apartment. Please how do I tackle this?. I have attached the picture of the house for you to have an idea of what I am saying.

Someone suggested a danpalon, please are there other ways I can prevent water ingress. I know the rain was very heavy but with all the shootouts I still can't understand how the water found its way into the house.

Please I need your help urgently. Abeg una
