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

Here on nairaland, a storey building is 2 floors.

Hello all, av been following this thread & I must say it's really been educative & eye opening....I have a quick curious question......is there anyone or can folks refer someone who can do a graffiti art design on a building living room? Something like the photo below...

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

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.

True talk!

But ''working as the spirit leads'' is always the best option.

Are you sure this is graffiti or mural? I always use mural for stuffs like this though.

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.

Once you have an overview of what happens locally and internationally you can predict most price increases . People must be proactive in times like this , if you have funds and have a future project , tie it down in materials obviously you can’t do this for all inputs

Started the construction of a project 1 March last year , bought most of the copper wires, iron rod , generators , transformer that same month . Project should be commissioned this may hopefully , you can imagine the savings

Have a proposed 3rd project am working on , no drawing no approval nothing yet o , just concept discussion, when I was buying iron rod to complete my second build asked the builder to give me a rough estimate for that also ,placed order for both 2 weeks ago , in the middle of supply prices changed I Just smiled

For that 3rd project I have placed order for generators last week , the supplier outside the country said prices will go up 1st April due to increase in copper prices etc, am sure i will buy transformer this month god willing

Delay is dangerous in Nigeria , add devaluation fears , inflation , port congestion , reduced importation , all causing scarcity and increased in prices . transfer is 497/8 to 1$ Now

Yeah Mural...but graffiti can do as well, but mural will be the preferred option...

Order it online and get a very good wall paper installer to do the installation.

I want to use a personal photo for the design, that's why am looking out for someone who is into stuff like these...

It's good you had the foresight sir. It's not lack of funds that prevented some from stocking up but hope that prices would come down.
I think we have to start seeing reduction in the naira equivalent of dollars to start expecting reduction in prices of materials.

Even when this happen, don’t hope the price of materials will crash drastically.

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

Nice meeting you yesterday and thanks for the cameras.

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

To be realistic though, this level of performance will not come in affordable.

PS: by this I mean we should be ready to pony up.

I sold at N485 this week.

My advice is for folks to tie money down into products and property. I immediately reinvest in lands as soon as I sell one.

You are absolutely correct, It isn't sir. They charge per sqm and use imported Italian stucco like plasters.
The term expensive too is relative to different people though.

Kindly add at least one or 2 dump trucks sir.

One of my big bro have 5 dump trucks and he never had to worry about increase in price of building materials because he’s making huge savings on sand and aggregates.

The good thing is you only need this in a very small space (feature walls).

Absolutely, kwarect , using my skills and experience honed over 20 years as a manufacturer , Not one devaluation has caught me napping over the last 14 years,

Was that cash or transfer ?

I think we should really focus on how to achieve the bolded without compromising on quality/standards.

EgunMogaji2:

Not bad at all , for the volumes I do can’t get at that price

Cash is 480/85

Many threads on this. Older but perhaps still relevant.

Good morning house. Please I did my decking on the 3rd of February and had about 28 bags of cement left which was covered with nylon to prevent water/rain.

My question is how long can it be kept for before usage as it’s what I intend using to continue the upper floor but still gathering funds for that purpose.

Does it expire sort of and how much more time do I have ?

Thanks In anticipation.
