michlins:Trump only runs America and can't force anyone to use oil..... You have heard him complaining about the European making it difficult for american autobiles and other products......2021 Europe will introduce Euro7 meaning Co2 pollution must not exceed 100g/km, that will force all manufacturer who want to sell in European market to make changes and comply with the new norms..... since Europe and other still respect the Paris climate change agreement.......they will leave America behind. |

Footstradamus: I have tried to type the whole cost to the wood work point but I was blocked for 24 hours. This is happening for a 3rd time. Maybe it is because the list is too long. I have attached a photo of the cost for your perusal. Also my wood work is attached. 1 Like

Building and any other construction job is a contract either willfully entered into or not. The moment a contractor or builder submits a quotation to undertake a job for a client in exchange of remuneration, a contract is already established that's binding on both parties - client and contractor. The reality of this scenario will come to limelight when there is a disagreement or dispute between both parties. So, a contractor's quote, project working drawings, specifications are all contract documents tenable in a arbitration or even formal court. That's why clients and contractors are encouraged to engage the right professionals for every suitable of the project during pre-construction (pre-contract) and during and after-construction (post contract. A typical scenario: A and contractor entered into a contract unwittingly, say in March, before the dire consequences of Covid-19. The client pays 30% of the contract sum to the contractor as mobilization fee. Due to Covid-19, construction was suspended for about 4 months. Now, construction is about to be resumed on site and the contractor discovered that prices of virtually all materials needed have hiked by over 15% as against his quote. Question: Who bear the responsibility of this increase? |

omanzo02:here's what you're forgetting, Trump and America drives every part of this world. Should Trump win, many like him will win in their respective nations. If you remember, during the last national convention of the Republican party at which Trump formally accepted the company flag, the highlight of it was the party celebrating rollback of many Obama era environmental policies 2 Likes |

QSFemi: This is elementary. What does the contract say about that? This ought to have been spelt out in the contract. My contract says I’m responsible for materials and equipments. I pay labor. So price increases are absorbed by me. On my Masons he carries any increase in labor cost or rework. For example it’s raining now and they were doing excavation earlier. I expect them to redo some excavation and I shouldn’t hear about it. |

QSFemi: The terms of engagement determines who bear the brunt. If the contract is to “supply, install and test/commission” a project, timely delivery of materials is very critical. Late delivery of materials can lead to project delay and cost overrun in some other cases and such is not treated as an excusable delay. For us at NextHome, we always factor in excusable delays (sickness, accident, pandemic, disputes, or even omo onile wahala) into every contract. 1 Like |

omanzo02:a single policy from Trump killed one of the most technological advanced conglomerate from China. Trump singlehandedly killed Huawei mobile division. Now it's going after the network biz. Their inability to source chips from TSMC rendered the company and their 5G expansion plans into comatose. Many North American and European countries are currently boycotting Huawei. 1 Like |

amosblisz: Yeah, it's ensuite. A contractor on nairaland has proposed 2200 per sqm for 0.55. However I am seeing another person who will purchase from Lagos at 2000. What I have is a total of 400sqm I am doing my findings carefully. Below are my calculations Aluminium -Step tiles from Lagos General 0.55mm = 400sqm @ 2200/ 2000= 880000/800000 Ridge Cap = 70 metres @ 800 = 48000 Gutter Valley = 10 metres @ 800 = 8000 Parafet = 6 metres @ 800 = 4800 Nails and other accessories = 25000 White 11/32 = 3 lengths @ 1000 = 3000 Transport = 50000 1 Like |
