Imas007: I do not see granite here? Do you already have granite or you intend to use sand + cement only? What is the size of your blocks? If it is 6", you can get already sawed 1x12, that way you don't get to pay for sawing. 2 of the sawed wood is sold for the price of 1no 1x12 wood. Ask for a breakdown of the sizes of the wood they are buying. Watchout, what you need is 1x12, some will sell 1x10 or 1x11 for you all in the name of that's "how they cut it these days" Go get the prices of the wood yourself, they might quote 2x2 or 2x3 for you to brace Arcs & co, you can use bamboo instead(it's cheaper) Try to get min of 2quotes from carpenter & iron bender Your transportation quote, ask o, does it cover loading & offloading? Abeg o, this your 70k trip of sand, is it 4in1 or 2in1 biko? 5 Likes |

n3xt: BrabusNG: These 2 statements are not the same and the misrepresentation is glaring. The 2nd statement about doing woodwork suggests the woodwork in that pic is somehow connected to getting to the pic in the 1st statement but that is completely inaccurate. The pic in the 2nd statement has nothing to do with the pic in the 1st statement. The 2nd pic woodwork is typically used overhead and not for storage. The 1st pic is obviously to act as a storage cover for something below or at ground level. In addition, the 1st statement clearly states that you are working on a project and that statement was made to sound like the pic is from your project. 8 Likes

Imas007: This is not a complete quote. You need to know what is the total linear length of the lintel. That will help you to calculate the quantity of wood and volume of material required. I will also hire a project manager or QS to oversee your project if you have no building experience. Also always get quotes from several contractors to compare if possible |

MMotimo: I understand the question and I gave the right answer but the screenshot below should help though. If it was me I’d have asked “Is this your work?” and not “Is this project in Nigeria?” So I'm not responsible for the misrepresentation. Below is a chat between myself and the client who owns the project showing her like I shared here what we intend to do. 1 Like

Person2person: Imagine! And we will be complaining that Houses are Collapsing or blaming the Builder? Who knows, maybe the ForeShore Building in Ikoyi, that collapsed recently, has this sort of re-inforcement and the Builder was not even aware. In a serious country, the "source" of this Wicked Act will be traced out and given a very stiff punishment (China will Execute such person immediately), so as to serve as a deterrent to others. But in Nigeria, we just lament and move on, waiting for the next disaster. ![]() 6 Likes |

nannymcphee: We have granite on ground already, the size of the block is 5", I am going to the sawmill direct so as to get the correct 1×12 and the off cut from the 1×10 will be used for brace. Getting wood from sawmill is actually cheaper than from retailers. The quotation they gave is actually what am working. The 70k trip of sand is 4 in 1. The transportation quote covers loading.

@Segzy14 (Sam) go and supply the blocks you stole and complete the (blockwork stage 2). job. I paid you 600k for workmanship and 100k for supervision, you were never on-site to supervise. Haji M. and Egun the elders here on the property section reached out to you, you ignored their messages. I have also tried several times contacting you but no replies to my calls and messages because l am a woman you think you can cheat me and get away with it. You have no integrity, you are a thief and a liar. Beware (new members on property section) everyone and DO NOT let him handle your project. He is a one-chance engineer. 3 Likes 1 Share |

BrabusNG: Baba.. I wasn't asking to know if it was your project or not though.. I was asking because of the quality of wood. It looks imported, like "packing case". I was more interested in the wood and what I can do with it.. Last time I got imported treated wood, I used it for "floating bed design".
