When everybody on the team lied on their CV.

Thank you, I am confused about oversight concrete part. The german floor will be done after the curfew. I mean blockwork to lintel stage. Thank you

Good morning.

For the main building, based on your attached architectural drawings, an approximate estimate of 1647 blocks will be required for blockwork up to the oversite concrete while an estimate of 765 blocks will be need for the BQ at the back.

For cost if labour for block setting, the main building is roughly 115,000 while the BQ is roughly 53,000.

Amen, God will enrich your pocket too

There’s indeed drama in regards to setbacks along the railroad. They originally says 500 feet, now 200. I’m impacted as are many others. I’m moving ahead with my micro estate but in particular with the nearby station. According to my land seller the worst they can do is leasehold.

As far as a for sure investment, get a group of investors together and buy a few acres at Akinyeke, the land port area and setup a distribution center. You can get a sour and have container trains come in directly with onsite custom clearing.

I’ll do this but I’m trying to live a retiree life with less hassles.

Retire life indeed, thanks for the tips brother. The setback is always the issue with newly open up areas. I remember Lekki express when the road expansion started, many people that bought along the setback loss a lot of money in the process. They keep coming up with all kinds of modifying designs that still on going in some areas of the road till date. These are always my concern with newly open up areas. I hope you are enjoying your retirement lifestyle. In my opinion, the project you are handling, doesn't seem to me that you are retired because you still wake up to supervise the project once in a while. It is well though.

I just heard that a bag of cement is N4500 in Anambra state because of the protest.

For real, what a country at a result of senseless looting

Lagos!!!

There’s someone on this platform that’s making a loss of over N100m because govt has marked 2 of his buildings for demolition.

Before you ask if he didn’t secure govt approval? He and many other affected persons did but that didn’t stop the demolition. In fact, a building belonging to a commissioner in one of the south east state was demolished. They went to court; got injunction to stop the demolition but like LASG is denying Lekki massacre right now, the same way they denied involvement at first.

I’ll encourage most people in diasporas to be careful of Lagos lands even estates. This project is inside one of the popular estate in Lagos.
The news was carried by lindaikeji and instablog but at the end “Nothing happened.”

I was privileged to see the man who led the demolition in Alausa and he boasted and told the affected persons “Nothing will happen.”

Unless you’re buying government scheme in Lagos, anything can happen despite your approvals.

The fourth mainland bridge project will affect a lot of old houses in Badore/Langbasa area and again “Nothing will happen.”

Pic: Conversation with one of the people affected by the 4th Mainland bridge realignment. He already put up a 3 floor hotel on the land.

My brother it all changes once you start playing with other people’s money then you can’t take time off willy nilly. And then it becomes a job.

As it is I haven’t been onsite in a few weeks and since I only play with my money I can sleep easily.

This is what gets me sometimes in Nigeria. Government will approve a building plan, then turn around and demolish the structure as an illegal structure even though they were the ones that approved it.

Very shameful indeed... all this approval etc.. they just care about the money not necessarily about the plan itself.. money money money.

How many states, cities,, LGA have a masterplan? A blueprint?

In a sane environment when approvals are granted , one of the things they look at is making sure the intended build conforms with the masterplan for the area.

Granted someone could still approach the city, county to rezone the area (adjust the blueprint) to accommodate their build.. the city will schedule a town hall / public hearing to give people chance to voice their opinions, then city and county will approve or disapprove as the case might be.

But in 9jiria, Government will approve, then few years later knock it down as an illegal structure? Thats heartless. In a sane environment, this will be a big beautiful lawsuit, a walk in the park lawsuit with a big beautiful jury verdict.

Has cement price gone up?

Someone tell me that it's ₦2750 per bag

coldcandy:


2,550 abuja.
2,600 for delivery.

Ilorin is between 2900 and 3000 excluding 100 transportation per bag

Good afternoon.

Based on your drawings, here's the cost for Mansory (block setting) up to lintel level as requested.

Main Building
1) Blocks (9-inch) = 2,731 blocks
2) 50kg bag of cement = 61 bags
3) Workmanship for block setting = 190,000

BQ
1) Blocks (9-inch) = 914 blocks
2) Blocks (6-inch) = 262 blocks
3) 50kg bag of cement = 26 bags
4) Workmanship = 81,625

You can make provision for 1 trip of 20 tonnes of sand for this stage.

I hope you find this helpful.

Am making this enquiry because I've severally come across your numerous adverts/shout outs for jobs here. I've also simultaneously checked your profile/thread and found only pics of stacked wood logs and planks. Not too convincing for me, especially in Diaspora. You could do better. Ask michlins. Even rottech77 got my attention in minutes.
God bless you too. Stay healthy. Stay safe!

I saw the plans after I quote you. Qs in the house will engage you.

#5000 currently and I can confirm that in Nnewi here. The trucks can't go to okpella Edo State to load so they're pretty much selling old stock and capitalizing on it.

Capitalism 101

Perhaps inadequate props

Tell us sir, let me learn from you today again

His excellence Sanwo-olu promised to tell us everything, soon.

It’s exactly two weeks after the Odo, Lagos Island Building Collapse and we are yet to see any report.

The same way we don’t know what happened at Lekki Toll Gate despite having over 10 CCTV cameras.

We continue to wait.

Valid point!

n3xt:


While we wait for experts, here are the possible cause of the failure:

- Beam Connection
- Inadequate support underneath the slab
- Concentrating the poker vibrator for too long in a particular section.
- Bad Formwork/Carpentary Work

That’s all I can think of right now. I believe there could be other reasons.

Just as Ambode promised to give us the report of what happened at Lekki Gardens Building Collapse

How long will it take to extract data from a CCTV camera? 120 hours or weeks?
