@EgunMogaji2 Anything is possible. It’s based on negotiations. I’ve never been asked nor have I paid for an estimate before. However I always make sure to compensate artisans for taking time out of their day to honor my invite. If the request grinds your gear just go to another artisan. Good luck on your project. Thank you, I was surprised that he ASKED for N5k to give me a quotation. I never experienced it before either, but like you rightly said I am definitely looking for another person. 3 Likes |

Abbyrose: You didn’t get “akin4sure” right, you asked for estimate of materials NOT quotation as contractor. So the man charged you as QS to give estimate for the materials etc (bill of quantity) Not as a contractor biding for work. 6 Likes |

One thing some people don't know is that manner is very important in work! Same thing happens last week when a brick installer working on my brother's project said I will be the one to provide water for him because we don't have running water on site. I see altitude like that as proudness! EgunMogaji2: 1 Like |

Abolarin91: Proudness? Whom do you want to provide water? The Client always has to provide water not the bricklayers. That is more reason it is better to first drill a borehole on your project before you commence, it is more economical too. Hajji M. 12 Likes |

Looking at the edge of the crack I noticed there no enough mixing ratio, this is bad. Engineers in the house pls help playces: |

DaBogu:Hmmm, interesting. As a layman that I am, I think that building should be sitting on a raft foundation which I dont think it is. That foundation is not stable. Solution to this(I pray there's one) may be very costly and/or temporary. Let's see what the elders have to say. 3 Likes |

playces: 1.) Are you Sure? If yes, please show us picture proof that it was well compacted. 2.) What material.did you use in filling void spaces? The material used if you want to do your "German floor" immediately after filling IS different from what you use when you want to give room for natural compaction. 3) I've seen people use rubbish to fill. They called it condemned sharp sand. It contained grasses, nylon, plastic etc Infact it was brought to my site by the client and when I rejected it, the supplier claimed I'm not happy because I wasn't buying materials. 4. I'll like to note that.. Sometimes, people can't afford professionals. So we can help them from here. Infact I want to upload YouTube videos on how to build a 3 bedroom from start to finish. 4 Likes |

So the client should go and fetch water for him or what, when there is water in the next house? diordaves: 2 Likes 1 Share |

Sir, there is water close to the site. What he wanted is that we should get someone to fetch the water for him I also work outside, recently I work for a nairalader at ikorodu, we only talk on phone and he directed me to her house, will I call her to come and get me water?

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Charisdesigns: 9:16am On Jul 26, 2020 |
DaBogu:Causes: 1) Foundation When I see defects or settlements such as this on building, the first thing I will ask is "is the foundation done properly or better still if the right foundation type was used." 2) Ineffective bonding between the blocks and mortar Remedy Get a structural engineer to help you determine if the crack is a major or minor one. If the latter is the case, before plastering, he should re add mortar to those crack lines in other to create a better bond between the mortar and block wall Then nail chicken nets to that area before plastering as shown in the attached picture CharisDesign 8 Likes

EgunMogaji2:Agbalagba, i hail ooo i still pondering over this, but a ton of granite in ibadan is N3,000/ton x20=N60,000, N15k for transportation that means the quarry is 4 street to your site, or perhaps magomago don enter... The closest Quarry to your location is CNC Quarry but stop working long time ago, hence the closest is Odeda Quarry, Ogun State. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by JustCryptos: 10:05am On Jul 26, 2020 |
KolaShangOne: @ point 3. My site engineer recommended I buy condemned sharp sand instead of laterite for filling. So, this will be the end result. Thanks man. |
