cbmfi: The pond might be an excellent opportunity for a subterranean floor. I certainly won’t fill it in and will use it as a garage or man cave. Good luck on your project. |

Aforxzy: I'm sorry, I still don't understand. First off; I don't know why it is called "hidden". It is not hidden. It is a beam. As I understand as experienced with my builds, you beam with the beams supported by the blocks and columns and then you pour your slab (decking) with your slab supported on the beams. Are you saying this is a wrong practice? Please educate more. Are we to pour the slab directly on top of the block work? Or do you mean something else? |

Grandstronics21: It's the wood design type. Yes, total of 6 plates. The wooden front is more expensive than this. Dollar is coming down, yet prices of items going up. Before they blamed dollar rate, what should be blamed now? 2 Likes |

somehow:demurrage and delays at the wharf is a problem. The time it takes to clear goods now is longer due to congestion. Everything we see now is after effects of lockdown imposed during the height of COVID-19. Please know that I don't hold brief for anyone oh |

somehow:yes it is. While Nigeria own hurts differently is because we have a very low purchasing power. While cost of goods and services are increasing, the minimum wage has remained the same and unemployment rates is still very high. While all are contributing factors, don't rule out Nigerians are greedy |

cbmfi:Hmm. The first issue requires a serious tackling method. You will need to backfill for easy setting out. Note: the foundation must go beyond the backfilling so as to make the building balance structurally. I hope the land isn't water logged. You can consult us for your Architectural plan. |

michlins:Prices won’t adjust overnight even if dollars is a little lower against the Naira now. It takes between 4-6 months for goods to arrive from warehouse in China to Warehouse in Nigeria. From experience, I will explain how Nigeria market reacts to exchange rate. Let’s say an importer imports an AC at the cost of #450k each in January when dollar was $1-$450. Then in July dollar went up up to #550. What big wholesalers do is they buy up all the stock from the importers. ( in fact, importers do not actually keep those stocks, they distribute them to wholesalers) Now the importer has sold or distributed all his AC stock at #450k. But he needs to somehow come up with #550k to order for new stock that would arrive in 4-6months. Therefore the new stock that would arrive in November would be sold or distributed at #550k. The wholesalers know this. Remember those stock they got for #450k ? They would never sell them for less than #550k due to obvious reason. The reason is because when they return to the importers in November, they would be a new price. Comes November, dollar changes to #530. Consumers would assume an importer would adjust his price to sell an item that was imported at #550k for #530 at a #20 loss! No, expect to buy it for #580k even though dollar is a little less at the moment. You see that wholesalers that got it for #450k? He too is sold out at maybe #500k, and made #50k profit which he used to take care of himself and family and rent. The importer gave him a grace of 3months to pay up for goods collected. So he is fine with doing some turnovers with money. Now he needs to restock. He goes to the importer, this time with cash, which is #450k being all he has left from the initial business . To his surprise, the same AC is now #580k. Where would he get the difference? Meanwhile, consumers are waiting for him with hope of reduced dollar which would translate to reduced price. He dare not say otherwise, if not he is greedy. 4 Likes |

After over a year consistently on this thread, i will be patronising a vendor from this thread... I have always been avoiding that due to the numerous, not too palatable issues in the past but i will buy wood and other accessories worth a million naira from hslbroker2.... He has promise to do POD... I have promise to pay him IMMEDIATELY.... My carpenter and Engr will received the truck, count the wood, ensure it's okay and they will signal me to pay... Hslbroker2 has ASSURED me that what he's bringing will be of utmost quality, not MIX, exact specification and i will be happy with it... I will come here to give feedback... If this goes through, then i will consider this thread for my window/door/plumbing etc... It's my little way of saying, Thank you to the thread and the MEN here, i always receive valuable info. 2 Likes |

Aforxzy:Hidden beam on floor slabs are just imaginary strength enhancement concept. The use of hidden beam are not beneficial to the behavior of slab. The principle that deflection of solid slab obeys still remains constant, “Depth” The longer the slab span, the deeper the beam should be. 1 Like |
