I have always had Panasonic or Daikin AC in mind but with the way their prices have skyrocketed, it may not be feasible. Sometime in July or so i was at Panaserv (main official Panasonic distributor) and below was the prices I got. That time it was already like a 30% increase to what I had seen online few weeks before I came. I went there last week and got the new quote on paper


FEGEITOK are these prices close or far from what you got when you bought your Daikin?

FEGE.ITOK are these prices close or far from what you got when you bought your Daikin?

When you get several quotes, you get a better view of the market.

The guys I ended up buying from were over 100,000.00 cheaper than the guys whose quote you posted.

The is no difference between the Daikin and the Panasonic sold at either outlet so why spend extra I thought?

How about calling that number to compare about now and reporting back to the forum?

If not for being occupied, I could have done that for you.

I opted for Daikin because 1. Daikin was cheaper than Panasonic and 2. Daikin is a big name in the AC industry globally. A few minutes spent on research opened my eyes to that fact.

Thank you for this information. I will pursue it accordingly.

On another note, how long does the AC run for with your Solar batteries and how many batteries do you rely on in powering the AC?



Currently don't run the ACs on solar. Planned to but holding on until I complete my market research to guarantee that I made the best use of funds as at the time of purchase.

By the way there is an interesting fact for you.

Daikin is the inventor of variable refrigerant flow (VRF) air conditioners. Having failed to trademark "VRF", Daikin later remarketed the systems as "VRV" (variable refrigerant volume). Daikin is an innovator in the split system air conditioning market, having made the first split and multi-split air conditioners. Daikin co-developed the R-410A refrigerant with Carrier.

True. I have known about Daikin for over 10 years now even before they were a thing in Nigeria per say. They are just as good as Panasonic to be honest. I'll reach out to Ace and compare prices.
Thanks

They are actually cheaper but generally these ACs are quite expensive. Not surprising with the FX rates but compared to other brands like LG, Samsung, hisense etc, difference is much. I know the quality is not same though.

By the way, what you do think about country of manufacture with regards to quality for Panasonic and Daikin.
For example the Panasonic made in China is quite cheaper than the one made in Malaysia. Their staff claim its the exact same in terms of quality. They claim its only cost of production that makes the made in China one cheaper. Is that possible with price difference of of about 100k?

Good morning to the good people of this forum.

I've been away for a while because I was consulting for a firm that has stake in a road construction project jointly funded with a State govt.

It's been a worthy ride.

Meanwhile, I still remain your reliable quantity surveyor for construction costing services.

Remain blessed and have a great December.

Regards.
Chief, please, how much would it cost to construct a km of road? And can a private person construct his Street's road without the government's approval?

The road we're currently working on is a 16.74km road and the award price is 4.72B and it was awarded in 2021. It comprises 12 ring and box culverts, 4km toe beam and drain. My projected construction cost is about 5B.

By the way, what kind of road do you plan to construct?

Agreed, recently spoke with the installer, and he is scared of mentioning pricing because the figures are scary.

I prefer Panasonic and Daikin because they are built to a more exacting standard than the other brands you mentioned.

Big question.

Here is how I look at it.

iPhones are made in China and no one complains about the quality.

That said, I went for the Panasonic made in Malaysia and not China.

Somehow I felt that they are better, no empirical evidence in support though.

The final decision seems to be more emotional than rational.

Apart from the country of manufacture, you should also consider the features/pricing.

There is the economy model, there is the standard model and there is the premium model from both brands.

That said, Daikin is made in India, last I checked. At least those coming to MEA

We can take the width to be 9m. 7m for the carriageway and 1m each for the shoulders at both sides.

Pls engineers in the house, kindly help me to ascertain the authenticity of the attached TMT TIGER if it's truly original TMT TIGER. U can also help me with the image of the original TMT TIGER if this is not genuine

Yes it is TMT tiger

However, Tiger is a brand name while TMT refers to a process of the steel manufacturing (Thermo mechanical treatment). Meaning PSL can also have a TMT reinforcement product.

I got the best prices from these guys.

Better than any other person who sold the same brand.

I did my homework though.

got prices/vendors on a spreadsheet, so do your own due diligence.

I don't know if things have changed since then.

The multi-split system is so beautiful, I absolutely recommend it over individual split units especially if you are environmentally conscious or want to conserve power usage
Pls does one have to incorporate the set-up from the initial planning of the build?
