I will not postpone. I will strive ahead. Time na money. Delay is dangerous. How many aspects of life would I wait for to drop before I can live my life and live my dream? Nigeria don cast. It is what it is. I can't place my life on hold abeg. If I can, I will. If I cannot, then it is a different matter.

Nigeria na like masquerade: dem no dey stay one place watch am.

thanks for your advice

Where are you guys getting 3500. Cement is 4k in Benin

E choke

michlins:
it's not going to happen. Raw materials are scarce and demand for cement is more than the supply.

It's simple demand and supply wahala

Alright

twinskenny:
it might and it might not... God will surely provide for you to finish your project

Amen. Thanks

BrabusNG:


Good luck bro!

Thanks honorable chairman

I am impressed with the simplicity of the POP/ ceiling design. Simplicity at its peak. Not all those crowded POP designs we see here.

Fonyeri is doing well with that his signature Italian paint. Even Baba Egun shock sef wether na Naija

And I was quietly following on NL, hoping that I will use him soon. Hope he would be affordable then.

I will like someone with a good idea to help me out on how to build a low cost and strong one storeys building in Asaba, I have already secured a land and I have done surveyor but I have not gotten engineer with good structural design and secondly I would like the house to be for renting

For idea get a good symmetrical drawing all wall must b3 aligned ground and upper lesser cantilever this will make u have more axial load and lesser moment to deal with..

Get a good site personnel that can interprets structural drawing to it maximum this is very important. Because the drawing will be optimized to it minimum.

Tell Your structural the truth the steel you intend buying local or foreign all this will make you have a strong and economical frame ..

Modified hope you won't later rent it our for commercial purpose tell the designer your future plan as well because construction cost will differ

How soon will it drop to #3000? I might have to postpone my project till it drops

I heard from a dependable source: May/June this year cement price would have a free-fall.


Keeping my fingers crossed!!

tell your engineer to design a masonry structure for you. i presume you mean a 2 storey building cause a one storey is a bungalow

rmx:


Spot on , not just iron , most commodities prices have risen over the last 6 months especially in the last 3 months , copper , aluminum etc , expect price of aluminum roofing and copper wire to rise further

Can’t begin to tell you the savings I make by buying things way in advance when I have a project , mind blowing

Planning a project actually sound pretty simple, however it comes at a huge cost.

My sincere apologies bro... you’d get this in Mushin but I’ve been trying to reach my contact to hook you up. He’s currently unreachable.

I dont think that's a good option for Nigerian property owner they will renovate without assessment or consultation they may knock out most walls to convert to another purpose or Glass partition

well, it would be at their own detriment. cause framed structure is very expensive.

i get your point

A storey building is not always a bungalow. It depends on whether you are describing based on UK or American standard.

I sent you a PM. I can give you a good structural design (JB standard because I worked there). I can do material quantities for you too.

When I told my client to allow us pick a larger chunk of reinforcements needed on my ongoing project, he was kinda reluctant at first and felt like “Prices could come down.”

I told him I have control over almost all other variables but reinforcement. Cement, sand, aggregates and formwork won’t pose a challenge for me on the project as I have better strategies to handle nasty surprises BUT reinforcements.

Today iron rod is 360k/ton... that’s 60k + over budget and the project is not even up 1 month old.

_________

While I was stocking up reinforcements, one of my friend decided to buy 4 wheelbarrows at DPC stage He had only 15 lengths of reinforcements left on his site.

Here’s the thing:
Contractors using 3D Building Information Modelling (BIM) systems to plan their projects would do far better than those who “work as the spirit led” in time like this.

For my friend (a certified member of NIQS), a wheelbarrow that can be rented at N500/day is a bigger priority in a very unpredictable market

Even the people we call the illiterates are far smarter. I’d share a project shortly being executed by almost an illiterate man. He bought all the reinforcement for his 3 floor buildings at once and over 1500 planks.


Always remember, a QS quote won’t keep the price at “K” A smarter approach to construction will do.



Good morning all!

If in Ibadan then Maduabuchi at Oke Bola.

Bought directly from one of the steel foundries near me.

I didn't believe it could ever get this high. I wanted to buy materials in bulk around December but felt companies would resume by january and materials would be available again hence driving down price.
Major binder acrylic that was sold for N470 is sold for N1400 per kg as at now. Major pigment used in nearly all colours, titanium dioxide is solid 2 times the cost it was as at October last year, plastic container is twice the initial price with some change to spare, materials for oil based gloss is over 3 times the initial cost and they keep rising weekly!
It's like living in a nightmare that refuses to end.
Those that hesitated when the price just started rising would have to pay more or wait and hope it comes down which won't be anytime soon nor to the old initial price.
I used to know the finance ministers due to their activities and updates of their activities but now I don't even know who is in charge. Even if I read about her now, I would forget in hours.
Folks should brace up and strive to get whatever needs doing done if capable.
God forbids but na so Zimbabwe economy reach where it is gradually with great descent and no apparent reasonable attempt to stem the tide.

michlins:
My own is this,who can start importing this type of materials into the Nigeria market. Many people are tired of wrought and will want to try something minimalistic.


Good morning everyone

Fabricators in Aba have been constructing stuff like this.
Once you see something you like, approach them with it, and they'll do it.
Just that in building constructions, many still prefer old designs. Newer ideas gain traction slowly.

some people are doing it in Onitsha but clients will see it and tell you it's different from the original

the truth is that there's no end in site. From December till date, cost of nearly every material has doubled at least. As if that's not enough,it keeps adding #200-300 daily. You might think it's not much but buy like 100 of those and feel the difference. We're just in the hand of God like this

twinskenny:


Good afternoon Engr,

It depend first on location and also client desire... some might prefer just outdoor cam why some will love to have some indoor cam as well...:

Basically for analog 4 channels and 8 channels we should be looking at 180 to 280 respectively

For IP cameras the cost will be 250 to 400k respectively..

All still depend on type of cameras and all

Thank you twinskenny.

A storey building is not always a bungalow. It depends on whether you are describing based on UK or American standard.

a storey means from floor to floor or floor to roof.

A bungalow is a one storey building because it consists of only one storey (floor to roof)

A duplex is a 2 storey building and one suspended floor (dpc to first floor then first to roof) that’s why it’s a two storey building

British or American naming.

British named their ground floor as ground floor whilst the Americans call it first floor. This doesn’t really have anything to do with storey.

In American a storey is a bungalow but in Nigeria a storey is a two floors i.e upstairs

Request: A duplex or terrace apartment in a very good residential estate in Ibadan is urgently needed.

- adequate security
- good road network
- nearness to recreation centers, city life and public facilities is a plus.
- Budget: N35m
