Aforxzy: Whether modern or conventional, a staircase serve two major purpose - a way to transition between different levels in a residential property or a way to add wow factor to a build. So all builds (modern, vernacular or contemporary) will require at least one internal staircase acting as main route to other floors while some others will require additional staircase that provides more functional role (escape route, emergency exit, alternative access into building). Take for instance, think of when you do laundry in a multi-dwelling apartment (like the design shared by nannymcphee), wouldn’t it be nice to have an alternative staircase at the back of the building to access the ground floor? So when thinking about staircases, you need to look beyond it’s primary use and consider the flow of the property. May God forgive me for writing as if I’m a “constituted authority.” Lest I forget it’s “Not a Bible.” 1 Like 1 Share |

Rockyheight: How? I didn’t drive myself. I didn’t chase my drivers around and I’m able to recoup my money in 8 months. Don’t tell me you’ll invest N10m in a truck without comprehensive insurance? When you think of the resale value of trucks self, you’ll marvel. Trucks ain’t like cars o. ______ I know quite a number of people who have only Bedford Tipper and you’ll be surprised at the number of houses they have. There’s no business without risk.

michlins: Smiles. I still know a company that pays up to 80k and even more per trip on deliveries within Lagos. (better Trucks o) I know a guy who takes up to N80m yearly on sand delivery at Berger. Handling your driver doesn’t make the business unprofitable. You allowed him and his excesses. _______ Few months ago, a Nairalander was practically begging me to help her get a truck to deliver some loads of sand to her project. We couldn’t find one! They’ll make as much as 400k on the 3 days job but we couldn’t get any truck to take up the business. 1 Like |

michlins: Try find out how much they pay a truck per trip to Atlantic City, Lagos. Fourth Mainland Bridge is coming shortly. You better go invest in trucks. One of my uncles made his fortune from the construction Third Mainland Bridge. He had 30 Bedfords in the 80s. 1 Like |

I'm not a regular follower of the forum and I did not get the details of the background of the case with this guy HLSbroker or so. But the guy is a scammer ! He did similar thing to me and I said I will report him to everyone here in this forum. He begged me that he will complete my job in Akure, but up till now he never did. I decided to wave it, until I started reading this about him today. Beware of this shylock, he is a scammer !!! 2 Likes |

Rockyheight:Provided is not a family related form of business, you will enjoy it if both parties understand the rule of law. The young, BHN, TSL, Chisco etc, vehicle are not totally own by them, BHN has over 4000 trucks in their fleet of trucks, like wise TSL, almighty Dangote his not the the sole owner of all the trucks you see ply the road. The principles of trucking 1. Drive it yourself, if you can 2. Give it out to a registered company collect your monthly return 2a. You responsible for repair & maintenance 2b. The company is responsible for repair & maintenance 3. Document, Agreement 4. Insurance a must 7-9% plan(comprehensive) 5. Understand the type of trick required, not all haulage company accepts all type of trucks. 6. Don't be greedy. Round the world Trucking is 3rd largest economy driven, lots of Nigeria in Europe are truck drivers. 5 Likes |

[quote author=Chekitaut post=94724592]@sam1919 The question that should come to your mind is 1. Are peoqple really buying houses? 2. Are people actually renting? 3. How long will it take to build one 4[b]. What is the financial implications of a house.[/b] These days we see lots of empty houses everywhere, we see lots of advert of houses for sale, 3bedroom duplex or terrace@₦40-50m, rent is ₦2.5m-3m/annum A building cannot be completed within a month.
