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?

If we, Nigerians don't invest first in the country, it is foolhardy to expect foreign investors to troop in droves. Nigeria is a big market but not economically bouyant. The average personal income (purchasing power) is low.

When it comes to the internal investment climate with regards to uncertainty, there's only one 'thing' that is holding the nation down: EXCHANGE RATE POLICY.

Not kidnappers, not corrupt politicians, not bad roads, not adequate power supply, not lack of fiber optic ( broadband). These are the symptoms of lack of internal investment. The cause of our ailment is the poor and incompetent management of the Naira rate against international currencies - the Naira rate to the Dollar. This started from the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP).

I will give you a very practical and familiar example - myself. I'm in the Diaspora investing in Nigeria so I am a foreign investor. Abi no be so.

Now (For example) I have a property with long term tenants that gives me N5 mil per annum in rent. During President Goodluck Jonathan's regime, the average Naira exchange rate to the GBP was stable at N300. Then, I repatriate £16,000 per annum back to Britain from rental income.

As I type, the Naira to Pound rate is 600. So now I repatriate £8,000 from the same investment. That's about half of my income gone into thin air for no practical or business management reasons. Just government incompetence that I have no control over. Absolutely nothing I can do other than to increase rent. If I do this, the tenants (traders) will transfer the increase into the price of their products and poverty is let loose over the country. This is the situation we are in since SAP.

Now you can see if I were a property foreign investor like for example airline company (Virgin Nigeria), Dunlop, Bata, A.G Leventis, Layland, Volkswagen, Peugeot etc that are mandated to repatriate funds home for their shareholders overseas, what do you think they will do? With a dwindling income not from lack of trading but from the inability of the government to stabilize the exchange rate, they will do what they did - close shop and unleash unemployment. This is what is happening in Nigeria. The foreign exchange regime or lack of foreign exchange regime is killing Nigeria slowly but surely.

Any administration that can stabilize the exchange rate for two terms, Nigeria will be better. Nigeria's biggest problem is not corruption, but lack good governance and competent institutional managers of the polity (economy).

The carpenter here, was right but not totally. I'm sure he was talking about hanging the POP on the Tie Beams of the roof work. This cannot be done without supporting the wood work with some 2x2 woods. This system requires lining and nailing of 2x2 woods untop of the Tie Beams at most 2ft intervals to create hangers for POP. The system is fast replacing the conventional ceiling noggin where you have to suspend the noggin underneath the roof work with bracing. The advantages of this particular method is that it saves materials/labour cost and also creates enough space for the ceiling to go as high as possible.
Please note, this is only done for POP and Drop(Suspended) ceilings. So if you are not sure of doing either of the 2, pls don't go for this.

Good day house, please I want to ask some questions. I'm about to embark on a building project but I'm working on a tight budget due to the availability of fund.

I'm considering a twin 2 bedroom flat. The person I'm thinking of putting in charge said I need around 1.2million (which sounds outrageous to me) for the foundation alone which will include DPC although the land is stoney.

Please can someone give me a breakdown of the expected costs, just for the foundation alone. Thank you.

Everything was fine until the bolded part. Why experienced bricklayer and not a structural engineer?

I believe ‘an experienced bricklayer’ did the job to that level.

KolaShangOne:


Funnily enough , my bricklayer has more than 30 years experience on the job but I've had to redefine some of his ways of doing things.

Also, building in Lekki area, you need more than an experienced bricklayer. You need someone to direct them , a structural Engr preferably.

KolaShangOne:


Good quote. Just make sure its 5mm.most times they use 4mm.

4mm isn't bad. But if 5mm is what's quoted for, then you should get it.

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.

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.

Latest Prices of Building Materials in Nigeria

Phylife:


Kind of off a bit: are asbestos still officially approved [in vogue] for building? Asbestos are used to be preached against those days that they are cancerous or something like that.

Someone with the knowledge should educate the house on that.

Thanks and good morning.

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. You are NOT a good contractor.

with all due respect sir, am not here to defend myself nor either do I come here to bring up the past, I know we all directly or indirectly make mistakes, correcting our mistakes and move on to be a better person is as important as the air we breath to stay alive.

when was this job initiated, and what is the nature of the job, because in all I can remember the last work I did was at ondo, was at ife garage for doc, and my job was perfect, the thread is still here on nairaland, and that was about 5yrs ago, pls sir, let me know when I collected this job from u sir, thanks, it can be resolve right here.

thanks
