EgunMogaji2: I kuku know ![]() It wasn’t funny when one of my client here ordered his furnitures abroad for multi-dwelling apartment only to pay almost half the cost to assemble here locally. - 88 doors - 12 kitchen The worse part is that we had to build matching frames for it locally because they won’t ship the kind of frame we need in our local build. _______ Another reason why I’m taken aback on foreign furnitures is because of the experience of another member of this thread who bought 40 doors from a friend in Turkey. For reasons best known to him, the doors weren’t installed in 2 years You need to see how terrible the doors has become when he was set to install them. Rodents love packaged furnitures here. A visit to most of the furniture shops here will reveal a lot to you. 1 Like |

n3xt: The kickback is not necessarily an increase in cost but that there’ll be no corresponding increase in service. We’re enjoying relatively low utility costs in Nigeria. |

abuiltech:boycott what? Power is still in the exclusive list of the Federal government if I remember correctly. There's a number which a state government can generate and anything above that transferred to the national grid. Having said that,if you think you want to go solar, it's very expensive. That's how someone advised me to go solar at my workshop. When he's done with his maths,it happened that I will need above 300,000 to power only the angle grinder. I laughed at him tire |

Gigaset: Abi na. It is shops like IKEA, Screwfix and various building merchants like Wickes why I can no longer step into ANY Nigerian market from Onitsha down to Alaba. Over the years living overseas, I have lost the skill to negotiate a chaotic and disorderly environment that are Nigerian markets and building merchants. And the dirt and mud and open sewage and miscreants and never do wells. I can't do this anymore. I have paid my dues. So if I've got a project going, I just pay people to negotiate the disorderliness to buy materials or just call some tested Nairaland suppliers to deliver. I can't go to market to buy materials myself. Contrast this when you step into IKEA. The orderliness, the transparency of price, the certainty of your purchase, the staging of the furniture to give you ideas on how to solve any furnishings problem at home. From kitchen to bathroom to living room to kids room and even how to showcase your 7.2 AV Receiver, your surround sound speakers and your TV stand or display unit, IKEA got it all covered. It is sometimes a family day out visiting IKEA. After all the shopping, the family just go to the kitchen (restaurant) and do breakfast or lunch or dinner as the case may be. This orderliness for my family is priceless. 4 Likes |

michlins: I’d advice you invest in cordless power tools and get 2 to 3 spare batteries. You’d be glad you did. _________ You can charge them up at home, clients’ site or anywhere you can get electricity. By this you minimize downtimes. |

michlins: And when the gen require servicing, all your tools won’t work until you have your gen back up. When you have offsite jobs, you’ll have to rent generator for something you can just do with a cordless tool. |
