@ Spyder880, what is your secret password for been able to build over 60 houses in Nigeria and yet nobody , not even a single complain has come online to accuse you of any wrong doing or using their money to eat ofe owerri soup loaded with orishirishi shocked

My brother, I am sure it's the "God factor" following me. I have had the most understanding of clients, the most cooperative and the most tolerant. They see me as an honest person, and I also try to bend over backwards to please them, and pray never to disappoint them.

The last few months has been challenging, I nearly ended up in a police station with a client because the money he paid me fizzled away in my hands before I could spend them on building materials. It was a very sad experience for me, but the client later understood, and gave us more money to complete the work. You can imagine me buying cement for 11,500 when I collected the funds on a 5,800 budget. It was a crazy situation, but God intervened.

Succinctly put
On Builder/ engr/ artisan side it’s good to be good no matter condition we are ,we should always try to be honesty and try to keep to the promised bcs it’s not easy to get this money.
I understand “ no body is paragon” in Ebenizer Obey song “ kosi ogbon to lee da ko sii iwa lo Wuu o lee tee aye Lorun
Literally means” you can’t certified the whole world.
Do your best and leave the rest.
The best prayer is to meet good client and good services providers ( professionals in build industry and artisans ).
Many things do happen in this industry …I have seen a lot which 20pages can’t contain if start with it here.

I remembered about 6years ago I did a job for someone and thank God I took all aspect of the job pics and video.
Bum after delivery the client called me that I didn’t installed wire and cable in an estate o.( I don’t know how they successfully thefts those items )
I called spyder and I narrated the story to him and we share advise/ideas about this and others construction issues
With advise from him and video/ pics plus confirmation from the site supervisor that he saw it with help of God I was saved.
Later the man called me for another big project BUT I decline straight

I remember some client from here
One gave me 1m plus after he sees that I have almost ran into debt without asking him.
Another one throughout his job when he visited Nigeria he will comes with clothes and some goody for me and some tools free oo

May God continue to be with legit clients and services providers
Happy wkd to you all

Hi guys, please can one use a structural design like this to determine or estimate the quantity of wood work that can be used to roof this house and also possibly stone coated roof needed for it . Just a rough estimate will give me an idea
A Quantity Surveyor can do it for you. For a reasonable fee, @QSFemi can deliver an estimate for you with those drawings.

Hello goodevening house what is a reasonable going rate for a 3bed bungalow plan?
Kindly engage a professional architect not draughtsman and be willing to pay.

Good designs don't come cheap just to let you know sir you can always negotiate based on your budget.

Honourable, look at the situation this way:

If the tradesperson contacted you that your materials have been stolen at his business premises, what would be your expectations?

My expectations would include the tradesperson replacing the stolen materials through their insurance or from their pocket. The insurance (security) of any business premises is the responsibility of the "registered" owner.

From your own account, you are the resident contractor at that site. You are responsible to provide insurance (security) for all goods stored overnight. Three cases of theft are alleged to have been reported to you. It is your responsibility to investigate the thefts and take appropriate actions which could include instructing that no tools should be stored overnight at site and further to advise all that any tools and materials stored overnight are at owners risk.

From your own account, you have failed to do the above. As the resident contractor, your insurance is liable for any theft at site for goods and materials stored overnight.

You should sit him down over a cold drink and arrive at a reasonable compensation for his missing tools.

I am sorry, but you have not managed your site to the standard expected from a multi million project.

I love your input.

If you know about Water and Wells, please advise.

A Well Water that is usually very clean during the dry season turns whitish, milky and cloudy whenever it rains. Pictures attached.

The Well depth is 13 rings.

Please,
1. What could be the cause?
2. What can be done to remedy the situation?

Thanks.

Installing a pressure pump on a compromised plumbing system is a disaster waiting to happen. Budget for an overhaul of the plumbing pipes or ditch the idea of installing a pressure pump.

Can a piping overhaul be done on an already completed, painted building?

Yes, see it like renovation, with the right tools( grinders, drills etc),the extent of damage won't be much. involve a qualified personnel so they don't go cutting rebars in concrete indiscriminately.

Surface water is using the joints between the rings/rims to filter into the well.

Like I said earlier sir it depends on your pocket if you feel you can afford it.
Such design should be a few hundred thousands to millions of naira.

NB:
Standard Design fees are usually based on percentage of the total project cost. But some may consult for you and charge you a one-off fee
