EgunMogaji: We all know Nairaland is not up to 1.8 Million members. Some PIPU can have unlimited names . Mod will ban tire. If they are not careful, we will use the website as a case study for ddos attack for 3days (Just kidding but it is doable). 3 Likes |

Excuzeme: Because I've ranted about this three years ago and beaten black and blue by Brabus, Spyder880, KolaShangOne, and AbdulWastecx (to some extent). Building in Nigeria remains a warfare. 3 Likes |

For those that have houses around Ikorodu axis, how are you guys dealing with this incessant, barbaric, senseless and wicked killings going on there, my heart drops whenever l read stories like this, do we have security in Nigeria?. citizens are left to be hacked to death and this killings has continued un-abated for the last 6 months or so, cant those who have houses there form battle ready vigilantees armed to the teeth instead of waiting for this useless local, state and federal criminals called politicians who are not ready to provide security for the masses >>>>>>>>>>>> https://www.nairaland.com/3834289/notorious-baddo-gang-wipe-out |

Truthinlife: 150k is way too much for the job. For the four bedroom flat, assuming a maximum room dimensions of 4m x 4m, each room will be 16sqm @ the rate of N400/m, then you will do each room for N4,800 per room. Four room will be about N20,000 The four toilet will be N6,000 Living room = N8,000 Kitchen = N5,000 Dinning = N4,000 Allowance for balcony and lobby =N10,000 should do. N53,000 should do |

bixton:the rate for carpenter this day is BTW 3.5k to 4.5k depending on the nature of the job. Meanwhile for PVC ceiling you if you pay 4k per carpenter a day, that is generous enough. The size of the room can be up to 4m *4.2m PVC comes in a long strips so it helps to cover faster. |

Barryton: No, it doesn't cover supervision for excavation N since it wasn't stated in your agreement earlier. If you want him to supervised the excavation, you will have agree on a new deal |

EgunMogaji: Allow me to agree with you. The way "some" contractors puff out there chests these days eehn, everyone is a professional. Some that "learned" work will be providing a quotation like someone with Ph.D in Civil engineering and 20 years experience. The one that drives me nut was back when dollar was exchanged at 512#. I bought a bag of cement for N2500, 16mm rod for N3,900 now dollar is in the N300's , the prices of materials have gone up. This still got me shaking in my shoes, what kind of economics is that? I bet Adam Smith will be perplexed as well. 6 Likes |

Good day house, please can someone help me differentiate with pictures, the difference between a 5 ton and 10 ton truck, I told someone I need 10 tonnes of granite, but he's saying it's 6 tyres, I do know I've seen a tipper with 6 tyres and another bigger tipper with also 6 tyres. I just want to know the physical difference in pictures, I tried Google, but na so so oyibo oyibo truck the thing dey show me. Thanks |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by johnson232: 6:08pm On Jun 01, 2017 |
PrinceLat:Lol 10 tons is the normal 6tyres truck we see all the time, but it isn't always up to 10tons...to me is around 6 to 7 tons. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by johnson232: 6:10pm On Jun 01, 2017 |
abdulwastecx:For real? I thought putting the ropes for labourers to cut out the trenches is also part of setting out... |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 6:12pm On Jun 01, 2017 |
PrinceLat: I'll try to find you pics BUT the 10 wheels dilapitated Mack trucks are allegedly 20 tonners. The old Awolowo Bedfords are 5 tonners and the ten tonners are mostly 6 wheelers with short sides. |

EgunMogaji: Those 5ton Bedfords are also six tyres too. Between 5T and 10T Trucks, tyres cannot be used to differentiate, most have 6tyres. Chekitaut, come and show us pictures of your 10Ton trucks please |

johnson232: It is. The Client made a mistake (which he is paying for now) by not setting-out clearly, what he was negotiating over. The Contractor saw his naivety and is taking advantage of it. If he were myself, l will cancel this wayward contract and negotiate the real "setting out" (Pegging and Digging of the trenches) with the Contractor. Properly documented and signed. If he likes, let him go and sleep in his house and not supervise what he wants to be paid for. Any deviation from the signed Contract means he gets no final payment otherwise, he will cough out the initial payment as well, for defaulting on agreement. |

Barryton: Unless expressly stated that it includes excavation supervision. Supposing someone charges you only N20k to do setting out for you and wants to zoom off as soon as the profile wood are set and excavation lines marked, then you come and insist he stays to supervise all the foundation till cast of the DPC because he charged for "setting out" You wan starve the guy family? 1 Like |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by johnson232: 6:45pm On Jun 01, 2017 |
Daboomb:I totally agree with u. Imagine after paying someone to read out the plans, i will now pay another person to map out the trenches....The second man may even find it difficult to understand what the first guy wrote on the woods. pegging & digging of trenches ought to go together. 1 Like |

Daboomb: If I am the client in that case, I will cancel the contract and even insist that the guy supervises the house from setting out till roofing (after all roofing poles could be "set out" too) Let us make sure these contractors end up without a dime after their hard work Na play I dey play o, before my fellow contractors punch me on the nose. @ Daboomb, my respects. 2 Likes |

johnson232: OK, someone who feeds his family, pays for utilities and school fees, transports himself and his team to site is made to read and interprete the building plans, place the building on the right spot in the land, take all decisions to ensure a smooth start and continuation of the project, he now; 1. Sets out the building and marks out the trench lines(1 day) 2. Monitors the excavation work till completion (my last 5 sites done this year was an average of (5 days.) This is 6 days work where you can even pay your workers as you alone can never set out a building. And someone pays you N20k to do all these in this hard country wey hard like iron Until contractors start begging food on the streets.......... 6 Likes |
