Pillars/columns are very important no matter the blocks size especially when the building will be carrying parapet. Also consider that blocks nowadays are of poor quality. Wisedove: 1 Like |

toluxa1:but that's equivalent to 2bags of cement per box (100kg). Though cement density is higher but I'm sure they will still charge him more. |

toluxa1:100kg is the weight of 2 bags of rice. So, they are about the weight of about 8 bags of rice. Dyna truck would be you best option. There are many of them for hire around akpagbon about 15-20 mins to Lekki. Life is not supposed to be this complicated. At Home Depot or Uhal, you just pay about $19 and drive away with their truck for a period of time, enough for you to do the trip. All you need is to have a valid drivers license. 1 Like |

Adedward: Its not governments. These are private businesses. The thing is, doing such business in Nigeria, the challenges would include The provider not maintaining the trucks leading to frequent breakdowns on the road Customer using fake ID to run away with the vehicle Customer taking the vehicle and swiping the parts with damaged ones Customer not returning vehicles on time Customer tampering with millage to avoid additional charges Customer not having valid address Customer overloading the truck Insurance not doing their part 2 Likes |

earthrealm:Good evening boss. Here is the ground floor pla of the project I am currently embarking on. Although it's still at foundation level. But before I proceed further and release more funds, what adjustment do you suggest that I can make to make it more beautiful. Secondly I noticed that the remaining two rooms are not ensuite, even though I was told that all the rooms are ensuite. Please I am currently far away from the location of the project.

sonnie10: All what you've just said is, in a country with weak institutions and non supporting infrastructure, simple tasks and transactions would always be complicated. So it is government. The government should be alive to its responsibilities. I mean, look at the saga with doors in Nigeria. MDF door, HDF door, China door, American door, Turkish door. For goodness sake, it is just simply ordinary door in any well managed country. But in Nigeria, it is rocket science to have the right kind of door solution. A country with weak institutions, infrastructure and really poorly and badly managed. 1 Like |

diordaves:You are right, government has a role in creating the right environment for business to thrive. But when you consider that an agency like WAI (war against indiscipline) had to be created to make people”s follow simple rules and civil etiquettes, then something is amiss with their behavior. 1 Like |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by michlins(m): 9:28pm On Jan 05, 2023 |
sonnie10:see eh, when it comes to people obeying simple rules and regulations, you require very strong institution. Wonder why a Chinese man will come to Nigeria and start disobeying civil rules? That's because under normal circumstances, humans love being wild and animalistic. Unless there are severe consequences for breaking the law,they will be broken at will. Same Nigerians will touch down at JFK airport and immediately wait in line and not want to cut in. It's not Nigerians, it's the Nigeria institution and government being lousy 5 Likes |

sonnie10: There was once an agency called WAIC(War against indiscipline and corruption). Not sure the the agency still exist. Can things work in this country of ours without bribing. Ordinary prepaid meter , international passport , drivers license can't be issue without bribing people or officials . God help us 1 Like |

michlins:Let me give you just 2 examples of what happened the last time was I was there. I went to that Mr Biggs at Maryland by Anthony to buy ice cream. There were 4-5 of us in the queue. I was next. From nowhere, this big man just walked straight to the counter with total disregard to us. I said never, not my turn. You could see the shock on peoples faces. Like, who gave me the gut to challenge a “big man.” The other one is the condition of toilets at the Airport. People would go in there and do their thing anyhow. Everywhere was dirty. Now tell me, in these situations, what role does the government have in guiding against them? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by michlins(m): 10:17pm On Jan 05, 2023 |
sonnie10:the big man was able to do it because he cut the line at traffic while coming there. Let's say he did something similar and he was held to order and punished,he wouldn't want such embarrassment at Mr Biggs. Same goes for the toilet thing. Strong institution is what Nigeria needs |
