Hello house. I've been reading this forum for a while and have decided to embark on my project to begin a landlord even though i am based abroad i have contacted an engineer in helping me build a 16 rooms self contained hostel in Abeokuta. This is the quote for Labor of foundation and DPC the Engineer provided and i would appreciate a second opinion to know if it is fair because i cant confirm myself. This would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

EgunMogaji: We should blame the usual suspect, leakage This might either be a leakage from an overhead tank mounted on the roof or a leaking roof. The next suspect is toilet/bathroom leakages from either the water flushing tank leaking into the wall or floor drain sending water into the walls/decking. Arrest this suspect, only after proper investigation 5 Likes |

mufutau55: Hajji Mufutau, It seems the white Amoula PVC will go with POP in corners of the room? Pls do you have any picture of where these are combined? I just keep imagining but will like to see pics of similar work? Pls remind me of average cost of doing POP per sqmeter (with/without cornice) material and labour inclusive. Thanks |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Onion16: 4:11pm On Feb 12, 2016 |
Thanks for your input. Its a 16 room bungalow. So this quote is whats obtainable? Arnoldfish: |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by mufutau55(m): 5:41pm On Feb 12, 2016 |
lawali: I think I like the Daniella color better (but white is good too)... and this should go nicely with POP cornice on the bottom. I came across a picture of combination sometime ago, but unfortunately I did not save it. For the price of the POP you inquire, I think you should direct that question to Dominionng for various prices. Thank you. @Dominionng Hajji M. |

I will be glad if someone here can help me address this. I am a recent graduate with HND in Civil Engineering, I have up to two years working experience in the construction and real estate sector and just finished my NYSC last year. I am proficient in the use of AutoCAD for drafting, Microsoft office packages, social network platforms, site supervision, quantity estimation with good oral and writing communication skill. I just need an opportunity to be in the industry in order to gain more experience and not to stay idle due to my passion for construction and real estate development. I won't mind little financial assistance though, I am a very loyal and trustworthy individual with great interest in real estate business and I can be reached on 0813 513 4212 or huthman27@gmail.com for my RESUME. |

brokensword: I'm not a book person per see so I can't guide you on schools and programs. But if you can get an apprenticeship with a builder here for 6 months, you'll go back home and make a killing because you can advertise to people like me and assure us to use your US building experience to churn out US quality type of work. Egun "just give me straight lines and plumb floors" Mogaji Good luck. |

abdulwastecx: My Chief I hail and remain loyal Nothing would please me more than to give my job to Abdulwastecx, Skimanski, Spyder880, Aventures, KolaShangOne, Julius Berger (na joke o), Brabus (yes Brabus - I won't try to cheat him and he won't resort to having to upmanship me) because I would be able to relax and sleep at night and know that I am getting as good as a job as possible. BUT better soup na money kill am The truth is that after my calculations I cannot afford a site Supervisor for my project. It's better to realize this and work around it than to have a stalled project or piss off a busy Supervisor. After all this has been said I ask you this question, Shouldn't a plumb and straight job be the signature of every single bricklayer? Quality shouldn't be expensive. Yes, a Rolls Royce is more expensive than a Honda Accord but an Honda Accord is 100% a solid car. Now on the education part, I absolutely am secure that after a 6 months apprenticeship the quality of workmanship will increase a 100 fold. We as Nigerians are blessed with brains that soak up knowledge, I am of the firm opinion that with the right exposure to technology and tools that he'll improve his workmanship. I built evidence #1 by myself just from casually watching the crew that was building my house. Evidence #2 is what they are attempting to use to frame my german floor (we'll see about that) but I assure you that no US trained workman will allow this on his site. 1 Like 1 Share

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by abdulwastecx(m): 10:26pm On Feb 12, 2016 |
lastpage: It takes concrete a minimum of 28days to achieve most of its strength. Bamboo strut support the weight of cast in place concrete and such platform can only be removed after the concrete ha achieved most of its strength. So, removed strut formwork after 28days |
