Mehn. I visited one big oga, and since then, I have been humbled.

But it's a marathon and not a race and he has had a headstart.

And yes, I can replicate this exactly as it is but it's not cheap at all
How much ?

Ikmontana1:
Boss, am sorry for d many questions, jus dat #3million or above is not small money, so I want to try n get it right.

* pls wat do u mean by coil coating, colorcoat and colotek ??

Ans:

Colorcoat is just different brand name of companies making the coils. Tower makes and uses colocoat (kolorkoat) companies like first express aluminium or Bozac buys coils from them...and all tower brand like asaba alu...Pgn

Colortek is from first aluminum....companies like best aluminium and first aluminum uses this coils...even first express buys from them

* and pls why do u prefer the nut brown colour ??

Ans:
Again it's preference all my kobo kobo rentals and village house are painted off brown and dim yellow so Nut brown is preferred roofing color.


* and how wud I go about getting the sheets, wud I pay into the company account or how ??



Ans:
So depends your pocket and location if you have enough I believe Tower has subsidiaries in all regions....if in lagos walk in at any Best or First aluminum office at ikeja..even Jonytech makes good sheets....


Thanks Boss

I am not writing off so many other small players who are making quality roofing sheets..I just mentioned companies I know what they can give you with eyes closed..

Check with Oga money121 and see who he buys from.
Caveat.( He is doing well.Do your own research as well )

For security reason for every bungalow it is a must.

You actually think those who are doing parapet were thinking of security when they did it ? Or do you think parapet can save you from burglars ? I think not

My Good people of Nairaland,
My Contractor gave me these estimate for Roofing of a Construction 2 Flats At GRA, Benin City, Edo State.
https://www.nairaland.com/6860261/construction-2-flats-gra-benin
Hardwood (martin)
3 by 4 = 40 × 4000 = 160000
2 by 4 = 230 × 2000 =460000
2 by 3 = 70 × 1700= 200000
2 by 2 = 500 × 1200 = 600000
Bags of nail ( 4" and 3" ) =60000
Transportation/loading = 100000
Work man = 300000
Total = 1.88000

I need a reasonable estimate from anybody this group who can handle this project, please.
The cost is terribly inflated, Even the one you have done previously are all inflated high. 2 by 2 is 250 naira.

and Boss, should I go to Lagos n get the roofing sheets myself ??

cos the guy dat gave me estimate I dropped earlier said I would need to transfer money to the company account then he will go and bring the sheets, bt I don't remember if he mentioned from Lagos.

Hmmmm..

Well.. I'm pretty sure the installer won't give you his cutting list.. So I don't think you can go get it yourself.

If you're trying to curtail cheating by going to get it yourself, there's a way installers signal the factory people and they'll still make their money..

Just get 2 or more quotes, choose a factory yourself to ensure quality, choose a quote and hope that the rip off won't be that bad..

We are also doing an "experimental build" around Gbopa area in Ido. Another in Achievers Estate, another behind Makoni hotels in Ido..

Godspeed on your project sir..

0.55 was used
The name is what I didn't know but was given 1 year after service warranty by the roofer.

QS and those I told said Johnnytech isn't bad either.

This one hit me last year. Not sure there is a way you can totally avoid it. It's just to hope the ripp off won't be too bad as advised.

I went to the aluminium company with the roofer. While there, observed side discussion between the roofer and the receptionists, cashier and even the guys in the factory; was also sure the quantity he quote was much more than needed. I made payment for all the quantity in his quote but was so determined to leave there with exact quantity I paid for.

Based on my observation, I made sure we measured/count all over before leaving the factory and told him categorically that the quantity was padded but he denied. It was at the point I threatened to report to the company's customer care he started prostrating, begging and opened up that is where they make gain, no much gain in installation, his wife just gave birth and needs money ...plenty plenty stories.... Said the quantity he added would fetch him 140k or so, I just pitied him and retrieved half even though I know the quantity added would fetch him more than that.

See that my initial gra gra that I'll start 2022 on an optimistic mode for our dear country - this really hit me hard you don't know.

Still, we rise.

A prosperous 2022 and good luck to the honest service providers out there. Keep doing what you are doing.
