@ Olaban, if you can't follow simple rules, which you acknowledge exists, why would anyone trust you to follow rules in business dealings? We sometimes are our own worst enemies. |

twinskenny: I'm thinking about something right up your alley. I want to remotely monitor my site in 9ja from here. There's no power yet in the area so will have to rely on solar. Smile network had a strong signal. Is there anything prepackaged available or I'll have to cobble it together? |

EgunMogaji: A client of mine in ibadan contacted smile for a static IP which will enable him to monitor his house remotely.. unfortunately they are charging a ridiculous amount according to him.. here in lagos with swift remote IP is free. you might need to contact smile and find out how much they charge for static IP |

abouzaid: orion is one of the best reinforced concrete design software around: fast and precise detailing to suit your need adequate bending schedules to help you your bill of quantities it also help you with quantity extraction for concrete work, formwork and reinforcement. |

abdulwastecx:to be honest, I'm not really heavy into structural design, just basic drawing to get a building approval but i will check out Orion before the end of the year to see what it has to offer. how's your day? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 11:48pm On Oct 06, 2015 |
abdulwastecx: I want to understand this as I am a student of learning artisan crookeries. Iron bars are bent from factory. So for the length to be short that means that: 1) Bars are lengthened, cut down and then rebent. I think not very likely. or 2) Both ends are cut short. What use can two little short cuts offer them? |

EgunMogaji: Anything can happen in Nigeria Oga mi o. Remember the blocks Spyder showed one time, instead of the blocks to be 9inches it was actually 8inches. Imagine that... Sometimes when Naija business guy made the order, he can tell them to shortened the length for reduced price. That is why the "Made in China" products in Nigeria is different to "Made in China" that comes to USA, two different quality, same style if you look at them side by side. Hajji M. |

@EgunMogaji You stated that you bought your granite @2300 per ton delivered to site.. That means it covers transport cost. And 20t granite is 46,000 naira? 25tonnes is 57,500 I mean Full 20t and 25t.. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 1:31pm On Oct 07, 2015 |
KolaShangOne: That's not what I said but we can assume that if it keeps you up at night Why do you have such a hard on for me my oga? The unmodified post is still there for more regulatory auditing. Should I have my lawyers be at the ready in case EFCC summons? I think The Engineer should come and look at my books to keep me straight. I'll write the embassy invite letter, pay for airline flight and of course as a gentleman provide accommodations. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by KolaShangOne(m): 2:42pm On Oct 07, 2015 |
EgunMogaji: Hard on me? That is 14 years in Nigeria.. If you dont know, I'm also learning from you. And I'm sure others are learning from us. If you get cheaper prices there's nothing wrong with teaching me your way. Here's what I saw on your post that made me come to that conclusion. 2300 per ton DELIVERED No vex, Oyibo dey hard me 1 Like

KolaShangOne: I didn't modify that post my friend, you read what you wanted to see so you can flog me like a farm animal " Granite = N2,300 per ton plus delivery, Sharp Sand = N1,200 per tonne delivered, " Kapish, El Maestro? Granite is PLUS delivery while sharp sand is delivered. Granite is N2,300 per tonne (I go by waybill and will drive behind the truck from quarry to site on next purchase). I'll approach truck driver directly with no need for middle mans expense. Delivery is negotiable and I'll leverage the fact that I'm buying 100 tons to work a good delivery price. Incidentally I was approached by someone making a delivery near me (unfortunately he's a middle man) who said that even with a slightly higher delivery price that it ends up being cheaper from ogun state. I'll also investigate that angle. |

Oga Egunmogaji, Let's talk interlock vs stained concrete flooring. The benefits and the cost factors. I'm in support of Interlock Stones (Quality, Sustainablity and Long-run average cost) |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by brabus(m): 3:05pm On Oct 07, 2015 |
Isn't this beautiful bro? Cost per m2: NGN2600 Installation: Easy Application: Outdoor spaces, walkway, driveway Maintenance: Requires little or no maintenance. Can be repaired without any special help. 1 Like

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 3:13pm On Oct 07, 2015 |
brabus: As usual I'll defer to you pros with boots on the ground but here is why I like stained/stamped concrete flooring. 1) Lifestyle - My hobby is cars and classic cars especially. Classic cars leak oil and other fluids. It's far easier to wipe up oil leaks than having to remove each interlock stone to replace it. You really can't get oil stain off of them unless one stains the entire lot which will then change the color. 2) Uniformity - I have never stepped on interlocked surface in Nigeria that didn't wobble or have dips and unwavering lines. Something as simple as that will drive me bats. Stained and stamped concrete helps me have an easy day by not stressing me out with subpar installation. 3) Price - I just cannot see how interlock can be laid cheaper if the subfloor is prepared the way it is supposed to be prepared and then the cost of producing the interlocks and installing them are all added up. 4) Style - You have far more possibilities of design and colors with stained/stamped concrete. 5) Nigerian factor - the reality is that we have championed the usage of concrete in Nigeria. I intend to leverage this expertise in creating a uniform floor and then hiding defects by stamping and staining them. I visited a friend and noted the subpar driveway finish. My friend (fellow Americana) understood and just asked me to "mojukuro nbe" but his driver quipped jokingly that "Oga it's just for parking cars now. To me my entire compound is livable space so I expect the same level of adequate finish in the driveway as I do in the masters bedroom. Only stained/stamped concrete can give me that. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 3:19pm On Oct 07, 2015 |
brabus: It's very beautiful. But I prefer this for low maintenance, striking and uniform details. Someone who I respect on here said "think value, not cost" |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by brabus(m): 3:19pm On Oct 07, 2015 |
EgunMogaji: Tell me more because I refuse to see how N5,000/m2 stained concrete is cheaper than interlocks. |
