Something surprised me about Nigeria, this country is blessed is the major reason we are not know to war. Imagine everyone shout recession but my clients are not recessed it may surprise you to know i supplied material to a 4 bedroom duplex @Chevy View Estate in less than 7weeks carcass is at 85% remaining roofing. I wish all money sent to me was to boost my capital base, but no be so. I pray for my clients and intending ones, God will continue to strengthen & bless them. Money used to build you can not save it. It just come. I pray any wishing to build God will suprise you. IJN Amen 2 Likes |

Wow Wow Wow I hope I can work with you one day sha, maybe after they dash me oil well . On a more serious note, your work that I have seen I am sure if i show someone this is Nigeria, they might want to visit more frequently. On finishing, whats your take on if a client offers to supply some tools just to ensure that the quality of the work done is top notch, so things like jig saw, drills, angle grinder/cutter etc. I am also wary of artisans that might misuse these tools. skimanski: 1 Like |

Actually dangote is better for plastering while elephant for concrete works. I tend to use dangote all through and there is more in the bag. skelefish: 1 Like |

Chekitaut:There is recession and worsen by the fact that previous government left no savings(looting unprecendent) and this current govt did no react on time though making up for the lost time. We need to diversify Nigeria economy, monoproduct economy will not help us any longer. On people building in this period of course nature abhors vacuum so you will always find work going on but not on a large scale when compared to when the economy is viable. 1 Like |

Chekitaut:This is our people mentality when it's come to money, sorry oh money just don't come like that. It's came from hard work long time planing, just because the guy builds his house Caracas in 7 week it's looks like magic to you. Do you know how long his be planning and saving his money for it. Guys, genuine money just don't come ok, it's takes hard work and time time to get there. Pray and start planning for yours, just don't expect money come to you overnight. Put your mind to it, cut off unnecessary spending star saving you will there too. 1 Like |

spyder880: This is how I look at it: 1$ = N190: cement @ N1,200 = $6.3/bag 16mm rod @ N113,000 = $595/tonne 1$= N500, cement @ N2,600 = $5.20/bag 16mm rod @ N280,000 = $560 Inflation has not caught up with dollar fluctuations. For a diaspora Nigerian, this is a good incentive to build now. Or better, push the fund home and hope that prices will crash. Tomatoes prices crashed. Rice price is crashing. I believe that the cost of building materials will come down too. This is not the best time for anyone earning money in naira to be building. 1 Like |

mavverick: A Chinese developer built a 57-storey skyscraper in 19 days. Nigeria is not technically and technologically advanced yet. Some of the parts of the buildings we have could be prefabricated but people don't have money to invest in such a venture. For example: With all the measurements, a fitter and a carpenter can make all the pillars and beams prior to digging the foundation. Even the staircase will be designed. When works starts, the fixtures are put together and a concrete truck pours all the concrete in one day. Then the partitioning comes after the concrete works curing and voila! You get a complete skeleton in one week. But it needs high technical experience and expertise. Nigeria is not there yet. Julius Berger does it in some of their projects. 1 Like |

What you have said is true, and its what happens in most developed countries. I am just interested on the planning done by normal everyday folks like myself and most others on here. JB have a whole load of experts covering from different angles etc, and also I suspect the have most workers on contract or on the payroll, so not waiting for plumber to show or bricklayer that is posting you whilst in another state where he has collected another job.
