Nothing is actually wrong about doing "Baranda" if he is honest about it through I will never patronize one knowingly. To be honest I do not hire from Nairaland as a rule but I do occasionally (my Architect is from here), not that there is no fantastic artisans on here but the internet makes it easy for unscrupulous characters to create a fake persona.

The issue I have is with the price. I searched diligently locally here and the best I could get was N45K for quality that is acceptable to me. The risk here is that a new builder would try to find N16K doors locally to him and run himself mad doing so.
here's the business opportunity that I'm talking about. If these steel doors cost an arm and leg at your location, contact me and I can make the doors for you at my own price and even after adding the cost of transport, you will make decent profit. It's that simple sir

My dear, If I tell you say I know, na lie - My knowledge of building na from this thread and asking questions. I don't know if Satin paint is used for exterior walls. Note that Satin is not a brand but a product type. The building gurus in this thread will definitely intervene.

Satin: Satin paint has some sheen to it, and is an excellent choice for hardworking rooms, like kitchens and bathrooms. It stands up exceptionally well to scrubbing and regular cleaning. However, its glossiness highlights wall imperfections like cracks, divots or poorly patched areas.

However, there are also satin paint made for external and interior (walls and ceilings) walls. These days there different paint for different section in a building.

This type of deck is not that common... I want to know if it’s more expensive to do or the technical how?

Saw it at a client site

This type of slab is called rip slab. It is commonly used for open space when the slab has a rib beam spanning only along one way.
In the picture above, they use hollow clay pot but one can also used normal sancrete blocks for the void.

The other type is called waffle or grillage type; this is the type where the rib is spanning both ways.

It is actually cheaper than conventional solid slab when the area of the slab is large (larger bay. For example, to build a slab 4.5m x7m one can easily use a one-way rib slab spanning across a shorter span and use the sancrete block 450 x 225 x 225 as the hollow void ( permanent former) Instead of the more expensive conventional solid slab.

For more; inform contact Eng. Abdulwastecx

What are the advantages of using 9" blocks for external wall?
9" blocks are stronger than 6" blocks. Also Most columns and beams are 9" wide and they are easily concealed in the block hence the use of 9" blocks .

German floor is a layman term.
Technical term is oversite concrete.
DPC - means damp proof course- it's at this course ,that damproof membrane(nylon ) is laid.
