skimanski: I agree, I have a lot of trained workers in this country, very learned professionals and highly skilled artisans that I can close my eyes and travel, leaving the site for them. I hope to visit yankee next year if I can afford to and I don't want any of my clients to have delays just because I went on summer break ![]() |

I like to think that I like the idea of new ways of doing things, however I dont like the idea of just posting everything you see on google all in the name of marketing/packaging and not really giving the audience the full picture, things like cost/practicality (In the western world, before a product starts to market, they usually do what they call R&D, to see the practicality / ascertain warranty etc, I just see pictures here from google but no info to back it up to say that its suitable for the Nigerian market etc). I saw the other day what was termed as a medium finishing, now what would have been good is for the OP to state the estimated costs as well, so that the audience can judge if they term it low / medium / high finishing. I have seen things like precast chambers which i thought was cool, only if i knew the cost. I have also seem lightweight paraphet as well from Abdulwastec which i thought was quite innovative. Bottom line, its nice to educate us with new creative ways / ideas / products, but think about the practicality and info on things like the cost would be good as well. Then people can be well informed. |

Bros. Am not surprised, it could be that the galvanise is imported from Turkey. Whereas the blocks can be ordered from Baba Lati down the road and they can use 911/land rover to deliver it sharply. Just one of the VERY GOOD examples of educating the audience, new concept and backing it up with the costs, so all man can make an informed decision. Empiree: 1 Like |

Empiree: Can you share the breakdown? I'm sure you can still have a plot of land done under a million. A 3m iron fence panel using 1" square pipe with 1.5 x 4 frames can not cost you more than 20k per panel. And the perimeter is not more than 108m which means you need only 36 panel. Do the maths! 36 panels x 20k = 720k. Add installation, transport and logistics at 10k per panel. That's 30k x 36 panels. |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by brabus(m): 5:13pm On May 03, 2016 |
Empiree: Not my quote o. Just an idea. 1" light pipe is N900 and you'll require 10 lengths at 150mm spacing in every 3m panel. That's just 9k. The frames and electrodes maybe another 9k. Welder shouldn't take more than 4k per panel for welding and painting. Thick pipe is 1300 per 18ft length but not good for outdoor installations. It rust quickly. Now when you're doing more than 20 panels, there should be economic of scale. 1 gallon of paint can paint almost everything. 2 packets of electrodes etc. That's the area you make more savings. 2 Likes |

Ask him to break it down and show you how he arrived at that figure while you use Brabus's template as a guide during negotiation but take it with a pinch of salt. you know you can also get quotes from other people or DIY. Empiree: 1 Like |

You did reply to me before. But this response was much more informative. Thanks so much. Please on average how much is it to construct a terrazzo floor. For example. The job done in the picture you posted for the school? How much was it? And if it was polished up to 3 stages how much would it have cost? I want to start saving. KolaShangOne: |

Empiree:My man are you sure 811k will pull that block fence for you, I don't think so. Pls tell whom ever gives you that quote, show you the cost step by step, quantity of material of every step. I can assure you at the end the job it will cost you over 1 million at the minimum. This is from experience ok. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Empiree: 5:58pm On May 03, 2016 |
kopell:Ok, let me throw in a little more info. This land in question is a plot and half with pre-existing neighbour's partial fence. That's discount number 1. Besides, I have another land elsewhere in the same town which is a plot. It is this same contractor that fenced it for same quote, 811k. He told me when am ready to pay same amount for the plot and half as well. You want to see the quality job that 811k did for me?. It's even high that family members consider it waste of money. They thought i spent close to a #2m. I will show you at least 2 pix of the fence at your request. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by kopell: 6:27pm On May 03, 2016 |
Empiree:Pls where is this location if you don't mind, again let try to give full details of information that may help those that as similar plan to help them better prepare. Do the guy did the plastering @ that cost, anyway I will get in touch to see what he did. If his cost is porker friendly with good finish, then I may need his service. |
