michlins:He knows exactly who they are. A major distributor in my area explained to me that when Dangote started his refinery project he withdrew almost all his money from cement replacing it by distributors' shares. Hundreds of them gave him N1.7bn each making it possible for him to divert his money from the cement to the refinery. So, having secured the major source of cement the distributors first started by creating artificial scarcity then followed by the insane hike. Dangote seems powerless because he cant refund them all their money at this stage to enable him sanction/not to sell to them. The other government regulators who should protect the consumer are incompetent and compromised. The best solution to me is to boycott Dangote cement. Or at least go on strike. 2 Likes |

EazyMoh: ![]() ![]() Let me ask you sir. If you buy cement at N3000, can anyone whether Dangote or Bihari tell you to sell at N3,000? |

n3xt: I understand you clearly, you see all still boiled down to client 1st brief, you can’t design without client brief, it’s after the briefs you now advise and come out with fantastic concept that will suit the client. In every part of the work each area have there own type of structure that fit in there environment not that they can’t design American structure here. That remained me of a gate see through design I fabricated for a client, the client said Ogbeni pls change the gate to fully covered one. And the same concept was designed for another client and he love it. How many people here in Nigeria will go for plane glass ( see through) for there bedroom or there sittingroom, they are just few. Those that means Nigeria architect doesn’t know how to do this? 4 Likes |

rotecch77: exactly, most clients and most especially the ones @brabus has knows what they want already so he need not start taking them through the process n the rigor of convincing them to if your client gives you open check n flexibility over his build, many architects out there will give you more than all these. so it boils down to clients purse/ exposure n say some other factors. if @brabus architect thinks he's crazy for his design, then your architect needs to up his/her game 1 Like |

Horlardorjah: My client didn’t ask for an atrium. I gave it to him because of functionality. If my client send me a design and I’m free I build it. If he asks me for a design, Ill give him what works best in his environment and situation. I'll share some of the questions we ask when designing a house on kobocity.com to know it’s not always the clients that decides our design. I’m doing a steel roof on my build. It wasn’t the client decision but ours. Well let continue learning here |

Likewise, do all client know the difference between a zigzag staircase and floating/slabless staircase? For me, I interface between my client and my architect to get a functional house. I once shared here a drawing done by a leading architect in one of the most popular estate in Sangotedo Lagos. It pure crap and I had to redesign 3 of his works. The projects are here on nairaland and the clients can attest to this. |

n3xt: we are saying the same thing here, you know what your clients can afford and you give it to them n beside it will work for your design and client can afford the maintenance. in terms of cost for the steel roof, how many client can afford it and how easy will it be to convince a client that doesn't have the exposure/knowledge and under strict/tight budget. if your client can afford all the finishes you've showcased in here, cost for steel roof can never be an issue n either steel or wood, both will serve same function if well done aside that, how much did you charge for your design? I'm sure it's not in the range of a hundred-two? so tell me how you won't go extra mile with your design Sir. 1 Like |

Horlardorjah: My cheapest drawing even in 2012 is 150k. I’m sure I never paid ihebrooke anything less than 150k for a complete drawing. Today, a complete package start from avertage of 300k + but if we are the builder, we can go down a bit. There are drawing I do for as much as N1m + and above. We give it everything. Will I review a 50k drawing 10 times when I’m not doing charity? Clients too up your budget ![]() ![]() _______ Well done bro! 3 Likes |

EgunMogaji2: I believe the use of fulbora will help reduce the effect leaves n the likes might have. as for the accumulated dust, it's not like we will be having heaps of them over time. this things don't just accumulate n cause havoc at a short while, it takes time and there are certain intervals u need do routine maintenance check which I think is compulsory in the western world. To me and based on my experience so far, the maintenance is a normal thing to be done at a certain time and it's not like its pocket draining. climb through to you manhole n access your drain gutter with brooms n probably water hose to flush down after cleaning n we good. let's hear others opinion n their experience too Sha. #hailingstotheegunmogajihimself 2 Likes |

BuildingProject:It depends sir. The agreement you have with the architect matters. Note: In contractual jobs, the architect serves as the client's representative, until the job is duly completed, and a certificate of completion is issued to the contractor by the architect, an architect is always involved. |

EgunMogaji2: He is to supervise till the roofing is done. Of which we're at the stage now. But he is telling me he needs to be involved in the interior design as well. And I told him that is not part of his jurisdiction but he is insisting I still need to keep him for supervising interior design and decorations. So. Do I med his service on such decisions after giving the contract to those in such field? |
