CAVEAT EMPTOR! Na for where you dey get your una granite, quess you have quarry on your own. Which quarry are you operate? This one na ojuju calabar. SCAM ALERT

twinskenny:


okay boss. will chat you up later. i was thinking i can do the whole stuff for 500

OnetimeOnly:


The price difference that builders and artisans put up in Nigeria is too much!!! They basically charge you based on how they ' size you up'

People who are building should also make subcontractors bid for the jobs....let the carpenter or electrician know that he is competing with others for the job ....that will bring competitive prices to the table

I'm always amazed when I read this stuff.

How can a man be comfortable toying with another mans livelihood in this austere times?

Good evening oga's in the house.

Please I need an architect in Ibadan who can help me out.

The seller of this land couldn't get me the floor plan as promised and i was adviced not to increase it from 4 to 6 bedroom.

But still, i don't like the square shape of the foundation and I need an architect than can help me with the drawing so that I can get approval from local govt.

1. I want the front view to be like the picture below, attach the front design to the foundation. (same design without removing anything)


2. While giving the front view of the design, I need additional space that will make me have visitors waiting room without them opening one door from outside and bursting to the main lounge direct. (Maybe u will join the veranda in front of the lounge with the space shown in the drawing front view together)

You will need to visit the site cos I want a new floor plan which means u will be measuring the sizes and give me a new floor plan.

Please I need anexpert with years of experience.

Suggestions from my oga's won't be bad too

His dad didn't even know my friend already built a 3 bedroom somewhere in just 3 months. I honestly have to conclude that his father is a big obstacle. I told him before the next project (roofing or fencing), he should write a notarized letter and give it to supervisor in case his dad calls police again.

That is what they call household enemies, "a mans enemies are members of his own household", sometimes it is better to avoid family members( father, mother and blood siblings inclusive) when doing some projects especially if they have a previous pattern of deceit & dishonesty because some of them can be worse than Satan himself and plot your doom

I have no objection whatsoever to what you said. Used to think this type of thing was a joke until it happened close to home. It is crazy.

l can give you tons and tons of first hand stories of close friends , family members who live in diaspora like me who have been rendered to paupers by no other persons than their immediate family members, although some people dismiss this line of reasoning and call it bullshit, but trust me, it is real, the spiritual rules & controls the physical either positively or negatively...

Remember a friend of mine i was telling you about months ago?.
That his dad spent his money on women instead of building his house?
Here is the latest. Let me know if he made mistake. I was part of his advisers though.

Empiree:

Here is the latest. Let me know if he made mistake. I was part of his advisers though.

What happened is, he said he's unable to convince his dad to give up docs in his possession.

His dad see it as insult for asking him for his house docs. (u know how some old men with greedy mentality behave)

So he arranged with local construction workers, they surveyed the house and gave him quote to complete 2nd fl to lintel

The job commenced this Tuesday. The following day, trouble started.

It looks like there are local "solomakinde" in the area.

They hinted his dad that people are working on his son's site.

He quickly showed up there, questioned them and all that.

He was not satisfied. So on Thursday morning, he went to police precinct to have them arrested.

While at the station, my friend was hinted early 4AM NY time.

He called up his dad to back off, that he ordered the agents to work at the site.

That was the conversation and he hanged up.



Folks, I mean some family members criticized my friend first, that at least, he should let his father know and take his docs from him to officially relinquish the project. Understandably, they had to conclude that it is his house at the end of the day. He can do whatever he wants.

His dad is upset and angry. My friend does not give a fig leaf either. The thing is, since the project was abandoned September last yr, his dad never talked about it anymore. He's only talking about getting 3m for "biz". This is why he had to proceed. He see his dad as obstacle.

Obviously, his dad understood his son's move. It is a clear message to "get off my site" without saying a word to him. Some people still blaming my friend despite knowing he owns his place. My friend manages 3 houses in NY. How the heck nija people behave like he's not capable of handling his project back home by himself. I am speechless.

His dad didn't even know my friend already built a 3 bedroom somewhere in just 3 months. I honestly have to conclude that his father is a big obstacle. I told him before the next project (roofing or fencing), he should write a notarized letter and give it to supervisor in case his dad calls police again.

I think its good to get an idea from others how much a typical piece of work should cost, if one has been doing it for sometime and have worked with the tradesman then you can size it up.

One other issue i find with letting artisans bid for work is that someone might bid lower to get the job, but the quality might be lacking, or at a later stage in the process they run out of cash and are unable to complete the job, then the story starts !

You then start to think that, "Had I known I could have given it to Lamidi or John"

If you ask around, then you have a benchmark to work with, so you know who is too high, normal or too low. My 2 cents....

My builder and I were discussing quality of work and he sent me these samples of what a bad foundation by another builder is in order to justify his own pricing
