earthrealm: Chief. I don’t hire “Managers”, I hire actually masons that’ll be doing the work. So how he does his work and hire crew and payments is his own palava. My own is to roam around with a level gauge and supply Chelsea and Chapman ![]() My current crew consists of two masons, sometimes three and a dedicated helper. Though they are a finely honed operation and the masons jump in to do other helper tasks. I use the opportunity of scale to my benefit. They are not their to do a small gutter, they are there to build 5 bungalows = 10 flats. That price is the norm in my operating area. PS: they also live onsite so saving on daily transportation cost. 1 Like |

write2obi:let's say you're building for commercial needs, iron doors are your best bet. Some tenants are careless and sometimes wicked. They will destroy whatever they come across and you will end up doing maintenance work pretty early. Before someone will spoil iron door, it will be obvious that he's deliberately made me destruction When it comes to durability, nothing beats iron doors 1 Like |

saydfact:it's all about the choice of the customer. Some want something very fancy while some want something classy and will never fade in terms of design. What if I tell you that the door in discussion is more expensive than the door I showed you earlier. |

michlins: diordaves: Good morning my people, this is to confirm that my door man went to the workshop of Mr. Michlins yesterday and took the door in the picture for testing. The door is still with my man and I plan to come and see the door as soon as possible, I am away at Owerri this weekend. The door looks beautiful, and I will give my opinion about it when I see it. Thanks all. Oga Diordaves, God bless you Sir. 16 Likes |

Thanks to all for the advice on the choice of doors However I observed that no one has recommended MDF/HDF floors. Is there any reason for that. Thanks |
