Hello my people. Please make una help me out. The gentleman I contracted to have my veranda work done told me this wrought iron is 25k per square meter. And the design alone in the second picture can cost as much as 22k. Who knows how true his quote is? And between i don't base at home, so I don't have any means to verify. I think is just too expensive. Nairaland is my only means of verification.
I just saw this hope it's not too late the reply.

I think you're trying to get a stainless rail done 25k is not bad if you're going with that design, here in Lagos it's done 26k per sqr meter but that design it's not up to that

Me ke? I don’t trust those surveys a bit let alone the guys in the business. They’re mostly rogues.

They once did a federal govt borehole for me.
A FG borehole is a borehole that works during commissioning but stop working after official handing over ceremony grin

I think it depends on your locale.

To me the standard is 9” hollow on exterior walls and 6” hollow in the interior. I’ve never used solid block before.

Good luck on your project.

The rocks here are sedimentary, shale and sandstone. Manual drilling might not work. You will need a motorised rotary rig.

Thank you.

That's along the lines of the design and what I was thinking before.
Those guys seem like a good one-stop shop, at least on paper. will speak to them and evaluate their offerings with other providers we have marked for this.

Cheers.

sconp:


Admixture in the concrete + Bituminous felt + properly sloped slab with provision for drain + tiles properly installed with sealant should suffice.

You could also check the below link, they seem to have a variety of solutions.

You may not do the caping, it doesn't affect the wire. However, it good you cover the block holes to avoid rain water into the fence which may quickly weaken the fence with time. If you plan to cover the block holes it also important the bricklayers doing that should put the Y-angle along.
aheadahead20:


is it necessary to do the fence capping prior to installation of the barb wires?

( the fence currently does not have any fence cap).

Motorize Bore hole diggers in the house... see jobs ooooo... give use price per meter of feets..

Geotech survey is very important too...

in Abuja... there are some Indian bore hole guys... they just ask you where you want the bore hole in your compound..
there price is fixed with casement... it ranges between 6k to 7k per meter.. they don't want to know if rock is inside or not.. they just dig...

Hoping to meet such guys in the south west
