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!

you should avoid bringing down the institution.
You can pass the information without downgrading them.

My opinion

My opinion

Tbh, I have nothing against the institution but I think they can do better.

I had to bring in the institution so that they can know people are observing.
It’s the same way with LASTMA, SARS, FRSC, LASBCA, Customs and the likes.

Baba lati’s are never the problem but the professional bodies who neglected their core functions.

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

Cash is 480/85

You’ll might be surprised at the powers of negotiations.

Mine steady stream of monthly transfers not occasional lump sums.

But any gain we have will be lost anyways because of local economy.

I feel sad submitting my building plans for approvals to a man working in an environment like pic 1 below.

O wrong nau!

Charity begins at home.

______

Just imagine designing from a place like pic 2 and getting to submit the drawings to a man working in pic 1 to vet and approve.

gbadexy:

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.

And I should publicly acknowledge the heads up you gave me ahead of a planned major painting project last year where you advised I bought the paint stock because input prices were anticipated to rise.

We managed to do that at current prices long before the planned painting which then took place later in the dry season.

Thanks for the honesty in service.

Fellow stockists in the house, let's just hope Madam dont complain because we have taken two rooms in their house

This inflation war, we must win it by fire by force.

I’ll call madam to collect 5 years rent for the use of those rooms.


This might be good time to consider precast elements in some of our projects.

If nothing else, you’d reduce labour cost and unnecessary cost spent on formwork etc.

Eg precast lintels, septic tanks etc.

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.

use the cement to mold blocks and store.

To everyone who has an ongoing project,source the materials and secure them. There will be negligible increase in the price of labor but materials will keep skyrocketing. It's not panic buying, you're securing your money. Unless you have them in hard currency or crypto, your best bet is buy whatever materials you can buy.


@spyder880 taught me better

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 ?

Use it to do plaster on the ground floor instead of allowing it to harden up
