In January 2021, there’s someone here that I worked with on a 30 flats project. I only visit the project once but suggested ways to achieve more with less. I gave him the same advice above. He was a first time self builder but I was amazed he did a 30 flats project in a record time as a self builder. My oga I hail o! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00J8qMpdqh0 Here’s the link to the post: https://www.nairaland.com/2550211/general-topic-thread-to-discuss-anything/2026#99463559

DUNKA: The only reason Nonuplets project got stucked was because the client didn’t know what I brought into the project is actually what’s giving the project a push. To achieve 5 buildings in one month would require a lot of money or a lot of creative endeavor. I applied the same strategy on that project. You might want to check out the construction of Crimson court by Structuracasa. They employed the same strategy. Construction efficiency is key. Blackmail is not a good thing. 1 Share

Why are you all talking about equipment cost for molding blocks? Those people do come with their molding tools and charge per bag. The last time I know was # 1k per bag. But I won’t encourage anyone to follow that route if you are cautious of time in your project The down side is that those people wahala is too much. It’s too much headache! If it is not cement missing Laziness Lackadaisical attitude They expect you to baby them, on top of that. You pay for packing of the blocks or they just scatter it every where on the site. If rain falls, it’s your business not theirs. They could spend weeks to mold just 100bags Here is a rough estimate 10bags of cement..(plus transport)....#45k Labour for molding 10bag....... #10k Sand (SE) 10 tons.............. #25k water.............................# 5 (might be free) Total ........85k You get 400 (40 x 10) pieces of hollow 9” blocks . This is approx. # # 215 each. Vibrated blocks is a different ball game. 1 Like 1 Share |

folmus:That is exactly what I did when I ordered 10,000 concrete blocks from my supplier. I’m lucky she have the capacity to supply us 1,200 at when needed from mainland to island. It’s not easy though, with all those area boys on the road day and night. Thanks God we get it done. |

Talking about block moulding, whether it’s good or not. I think we need to understand the type of client we are serving. The client I served in 2015 is completely different from the client in question. 2015 - 3strikes (Private Individual) 2022 - Grandbricks Ltd. I wouldn’t expect anyone to treat the 2 client same way. Grandbricks to the best of my knowledge should be a profit making business and should conduct her business different from a private individual. So exploring every avenue to save cost without compromising on quality is a good one for Grandbricks. And one of the best way to achieve this is by investing in equipment for block production under strict supervision for standard and quality control. Otherwise, what would make Grandbricks different from just any other person out there developing a house. _________ Nonuplets During the construction of Nonuplets, we bought blocks from the biggest block supplier in Ìbàdàn. We just had to live with what we were offered during the project. They weren’t all so fantastic despite the hefty price tag. _________ Browne Mews If I can recollect, I think we did about 15k block on Browne Mews before I went to setup NextHome’s solar powered block production facility in Lekki Scheme II and we never had issue of space constraints. We were deliberate in our planning. __________ The Bariga 30 Flats OIMC produced their blocks under strict supervision.

https://youtube.com/shorts/AgPl2dZ2Z9U?feature=share These blocks were produced and used on a project by a real estate development company in Lagos. It’s one of their selling point. |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by FEGEITOK: 8:55pm On Apr 07, 2022 |
rmx: I have heard of blocks that nails have difficulty going through. This sounds like that kind of block. It all depends on the budget on the one hand and the love of standards on the other hands. These should be the kinds of houses that can live 100 years. Someone who studied how to build houses in the US has refused to build houses in Nigeria because he doesn't want to economize like we do here, he says he wants to build houses that live "forever" and cannot be connected to a project that cannot stand the test of time. He says our people don't want to pay for quality, so he changed professions when he came to Nigeria. |

FEGEITOK:they didn't teach him well or probably he didn't learn how to get his target audience. In this Nigeria where people are importing something as simple as grass for their house, you said you can't build here.
