Hello Builders, I have an ongoing project in Arepo ready for decking. I need a competent engineer to handle the decking. Also what would be the costs / quantities of materials needed to do the decking? |

Thank you so much for this information, i do appreciate.] The difference is the appearance and the strength of the cast concrete. Plank gives a rough cast with honeycombs due to the space between them caused by the segregation of the aggregates during casting and vibration. But when ply wood is pinned on the planks ,it gives a better finish and strength just like when you use a marine board. Marine board because of it's smooth edge and surface has little space between them hence the cement slurry is able to bind the aggregates together, keep them in place and this increases the strength of the cast concrete and gives a fine& smooth finish. Marine boards are reusable just like the planks but must be kept free from water. [/quote] |

diordaves: Good write up. But note that there is no magic in exchange rate management. There is a limit to what the government could do. The country is simply not productive enough. Nigeria's export potential is simply not enough to earn her foreign exchange. When you are an export economy, you will have sufficient hard currencies to support your own local currency. Nigeria doesn't have that, and the forces of demand and supply will continue to weigh down on Naira, thus making it weaker and weaker. Government won't perform any magic. Simple! That's why you hear Government say they are defending Naira with their external reserve. The citizens and companies should be able to export goods and earn foreign exchange, which they will exchange back to local currencies for their operations, thus increasing the value of Naira. 5 Likes |

You all asking for Price and Quantity of Materials in here, do you guys know there's something called a Quantity Surveyor? Nigerians like shortcut and they usually get burnt for it. In the Project design and Delivery phase there's something called a QS (Quantity Surveyor) who should produce an unpriced Bill of Quantities together with the Architect and the Client. That's what will be given to the contractor to Price and come up with a Cost of Construction either by bidding or by appointment. Nigerians LEARN to use the right professionals and pay for their services. It'll save you a lot of headaches in the long run. 4 Likes 1 Share |

KolaShangOne: Structural engineers are not Builders. There are people who are certified BUILDERS who have undergone the training of understanding complex building construction methodologies and can read and translate specifications of most industry consultants. The structural engineers job is to design the structural system of the building with all systems specified leaving no room for THINKING and assumption on-site. Their job is to supervise the BUILDER to make sure they're building according to their specification. 4 Likes |

diordaves: / In terms of investments, always bet against Nigeria and it is a sure win. Most people from diaspora that ventured into business in Nigeria lost big time. It is not worth the effort and time if your goal is to repatriate profits back to your country of residence. How can anyone remain sane in such chaos? If you have any sentimental attachment to Nigeria, save some cash and go in there to enjoy yourself and leave. / 1 Like |

InvertedHammer: Diasporas on board, please read the bolded twice and memorize it. Those I know like me share the ideology that we invest in and live in Nigeria while consuming in Nigeria. The only ones I know that are making a killing are those that strictly come in to harvest raw materials. They’re not building factories or warehouses or dealing with staff. Come in grab exotic trees and natural resources and split. And please don’t be sweet talked while sitting in the abroad. Come home and sweat with us for a few months to get the lay of the land. Then decide what investment that you want to get involved in. 3 Likes 1 Share |

If you did a good job no one will ever accuse you. You did some jobs for me in Akure and I was totally dissatisfied with your service after you collected almost double of the what the job should cost. Anyway, anyone that engage your service is doing it at his or her own risk.
