Leezah: Your questions have been addressed on pages back ad nauseam. I don't live in Naija but I have been to a few houses in Ondo that have landscaping instead of concrete all through. Besides, your questions miss the point. The point is why is landscaping not adopted more than the alternative being discussed. Pictures I posted is to show examples of what can be achieved with landscaping vs. concrete. And, it's not rocket science like some people will make you believe. It's just not common practice. Thanks to a one-minute Instagram search, attached is an example from Lagos.

Leezah: forward planning is key. constructing a small trench or gutter with slabs accross the open space in the compound and incorporating the stamped concrete over it, gives you flexibility to do many things in the future, without having to break the stamped concrete 3 Likes |

Good afternoon. It's advisable to get an independent cost assessor, Quantity Surveyor, that will help you give an impartial, fair, value-for-money projected cost of your housing development. With that, you can never go wrong and you would have avoided the pitfall of contractors deliberately underestimating for the construction project in order to lure you into committing yourself or overestimating in order to fleece you of your hard earned money. After you've done necessary drawings, get a quantity surveyor to help establish the budget. I'm sure you'll be glad you did. Merci. Leezah: 1 Like |

Good afternoon. I'm not trying to justify the 'exorbitant' prices of these woods, however, it may interest you to know that in some states, the default length of wood, either hardwood or softwood, is 5.4metres as against the common ones of 3.6metres. E.g. Benin City, Edo State. kopell: |

I've seen lots of reactions to this already. However, I just want to add my bit to the issue. My observations; The length of wood per one is mostly 3.60meteres (12 feet) in Lagos and many other states. However, in Benin city, for instance, the commonest length of wood is 5.4metres (18 feet). From the attached quotation, no mention of the length of each wood and neither did you talk about the location of the project. Apparently, a wood that's 5.40 metres long is going to be costlier than one that is 3.60metres of same size. As of yesterday in Benin city; here's the price of hardwood; 3 x 4 = #2,500 per one 2 x 4 = #1,300 per one 2 x 3 = #900 per one 2 x 2 = #700 per one I'm not saying the carpenter's quote is justifiable, I'm only saying there might be a different context to the quotation. In every item in building construction, description of items is equally as important as the price. Merci. boyka1: 8 Likes |

#Quantity Surveyor# A Quantity Surveyor, abbreviated as QS, is like a referee in a football match between two teams (Client and Contractor/Builder) who ensures fairness to both parties and see to it that no party is cheated. To the client, a QS ensures that the value of money paid must be gotten from the contractor. To the contractor, the QS ensures that the contractor gets the maximum money he deserves which commensurate with the job executed. A QS is there to see to this mutual benefits. Hire a QS today. 3 Likes |

It appears to be caused by settlement compounded by misplaced or no concrete pillar at that edge. For peace of mind you might want to check the presence of pillar at that edge not just near it and if there is none then buy iron and construct pillar. Neweko: 2 Likes |
