Like I said, I don't really care about who you are and what you have. It's none of my business. It's simply childish to argue with you. Bragging is not in me. Am good with the clients I have and am quite sure they are far better than you. Deal with that.

You have to be joking, it will be suicidal and beyond you to even attempt to argue with me, that is if there was something to argue about.
A Child, is still a Child to his Father. Its no bragging.

The truth is we have to thank Hajji M. that Originated this thread, otherwise people like you would be on the streets hungry without job.
I am a pioneer starter in 2015 when it took-off back then. It was a combination of real professionals and real DIY Home enthusiats and we exchanged knowledge to the point that anyone who can read what we laid on ground, can already build his home to the level of 80%.

We ensured that prices were reasonable and both builder and home owner had a good deal, we even resolved disputes between some and ensured there was discipline on this thread, until hustlers like you came-in two to three years ago!

Looking at your picture, you were probably still in Primary school when l joined Nairaland in 2006.
Once Noobs and Rookies like you learn to use Sketch Drawer, Chief Architect, Xara Designer and the likes, even though you learned 70% of what you know, from this thread (because we can still remember how you asked the "Baby Questions" and we gave you answers, pointed you in the right directions, etc), you grow wings, start throwing figures around and start claiming Professional!

I have nothing against young ones trying to hustle a living but you must know your place and dont start acting out like you are 'the man' here.
We know the few, pioneer, "real professionals" still remianing here, go to the first fifty pages of this thread and you will find their names. undecided undecided

I don't have time for people like you. I have got far better clients than you are. That you cheat on a builder because he/she is desperate for a job doesn't guarantee you that it's your measure than is a standard out there.

Talk here again and let me open up your level of ignorance. It's not by who first came to Nairaland. It's about how well you have contributed positively to the forum and her members.

One more thing, I don't see any value you add here. So stay in your Guest Room that's where you belong, remain there till you have something to offer

Well, thank you for going through my profile. At least, it exposes the fact that you are just one irrelevant fellow looking for who to tarnish her image.

mank1234:
Opportunity meets preparedness: He is too good.
I met this guy off nairaland through a friend who recommended him after he saw how my duplex walls were messed up during construction. The walls were not straight making me spend more in plastering without getting the required result. And the plans were altered without my approval. That's the disadavnatage of not being available at site during the day. As an engineer (not civil), nothing can be as hurting as this.

This new guy blew me away with impeccable quality of supervision work. His workers are too good. The walls are so straight. The drawing were followed to the letter - with Pin-point accurate dimensions. Initially, I thought the guy is a lay-man but on further enquiry I discovered that he's a UNN trained civil engineer (without coren).

It made me wonder: how can someone with such immense skillset and collection of cheap and good artisans be without any marketing strategy? No picture of previous work done except taking you to people's houses he has buiit.

I have a dream for this guy. I want to setup a construction company with him. I know he can compete and win the best here. He may not have the resources to be at the top, but I am an optimist; I believe I can infect him with positive energy and help him excel. If I can realised this dream, I'll be 10% fulfilled that I've taken one man out of poverty.

But first, how do I get him to be a registered engineer in the shortest possible time?


Its a nice thing you are doing, l can only say weldone to you.
l am registered with Council for almost two decades now and l can tell you it is easier than you think.
What l will do is send you a link with all the information you need, from the Portal of the Council.
He should click on it, supply the required documents, pay membership fee and his application will be processed.
Everything is done online nowadays, including the submission of transcript.

He may have to take a 'qualifying exam' for full certification, somewhere along the line.

Trust me, the real builders/Professionals around here dont agressively hustle for job with all the "COPY AND PASTE PACKAGING" as you are doing;
when we have a job, we call them and they dont ask for 50% of the budget. If in doubt, ask the builders on the first 300 pages of this thread. undecided

Both are good, depends on your choice.
However, I would term that of concrete Parapet as stronger because of the components and materials in it and it's lot more heavier and costs more than that of the precast.

Preferably for buildings more than 2 floors, I would suggest concrete to precast Parapet.

Flat roof (low pitch roof) is much more affordable. You would save a lot of cash from wood and the roofing sheet. It is also very durable, just like any roof type the is properly done. You can enhance the beauty by using fibercement fascia and soffit. My project is at roof level, and that's the option am going for.
