topsy23:This is not my project. I'm into Decoration, not building Engineering. But I see no reason why you would just look at a single picture of a room (roof for that matter) and just conclude that they've not done electrical piping. FYI they've done piping in there, it's only cables they haven't run yet. Discrediting anything just because it relates to one's area of expertise is not the best way to sell one's self. 2 Likes |

jaytime: I missed any 'discrediting' in the original question. It was perfectly poised and many of us were similarly curious. 1 Like 1 Share |

michlins: Glad to know it came out nice. What difference will the price be if it is made with iron steel bars and not wrought iron? The latter material is quite expensive. |

Focusmind: "Government won't do any magic" is a worn out tired, old excuse. Government all over the world manage their exchange rate mechanism successfully. You mentioned firms should export to generate foreign exchange which would eventually support the Naira. What you are saying is that firms should gain competitive advantage over foreign firms to be able to export. However, to be productive and competitive, firms need to import machinery and spare parts and even raw materials for production. But firms cannot do this if the exchange rate is so prohibitive. Even firms with high local content like the cement companies still need to import machinery and spare parts for production. So if the dollar exchange rate is high, the factory price of cement will reflect the dollar price. This is what is going on with Dangote cement and other cement companies. We can't run away from a poor exchange rate regime. This is stiffling productivity. |

topsy23:Observe better next time so it's not misconstrued to mean condemnation. More prove that there are pipes there��. This is a hotel, the engineer couldn't have afford to make such blonder.

InvertedHammer:Repatriating I will speak from my business(Trucking) point of view. Not all businesses fail in this accept. Take for example you invest: Brand new truck @$54,800(including clearing) Monthly return after running cost is ₦1.4m equivalent is $2,979 In 1year $2,979x12months= $35,748 In 2years $35,748x24months= $71,496 Therefore in 2years you repatriate $16,696, whiie you have actually recoup your investment another 1year you repatriate $35,748. Making a total of $52,444 in 3years For used Truck @$31,255(including clearing) Monthly return after running cost is ₦1.2m equivalent is $2,553 In 1year $2,553x12months= $30,638 In 2years $30,638x24months= $61,276 Therefore in 2years you will repatriate $30,021 NB. Breakdown was done with ₦470 to $1 1 Like 1 Share |

Dear all, I have a property measuring 253 sq.mtrs already roofed. How much will it cost to do the pop? Also I would like to know the cost estimate to construct a standard soakaway for the property. Thanks.

For the soak away, your location will determine the cost. That's exactly what's on my building schedule this new week, the total cost given to me by two different persons are a little less than 200k but I budgeted 200k (workmanship inclusive but excluding any form of piping or accessories). This is for a 10ft x 7ft x 7ft (L*B*H) capacity. Katilo: |

diordaves: Ok. You win!! But still note that we practically import everything in Nigeria. Government's management of exchange rate is not sustainable by all standard of economics. Just imagine what will happen to naira when we stop importing fuel.Without government intervention, you will see market forces in action. Naira will appreciate immediately.Up to 55% FX demand from CBN is for fuel importation. Imagine what will happen to naira when we stop importing some of the food items we could produce here. My brother, forces of demand and supply will continue to affect the value of naira. For how long will the government continue to sustain and support naira from depreciating further? Using their strategic reserve which is fast depleting? Bro, we need to be productive, export more, consume more of what we produce, import less of what we produce and avoid wastages in governance. Government intervention in the management of exchange rate regime is never a sustainable policy. 4 Likes |

Chekitaut:Your analysis sound good on paper, in practical term there are a lot of on for seen forces that mostly make it difficult to run businesses in Nigeria. There is a lot of opportunities to make money if only the environment was less vexing, we the people should be sincere to ourselves in most of the dealing that we do, plus the government is not helping the situation. 3 Likes |

Sounds fantastic on paper...until reality hits hard...was born in trucking business...something i grew up before I packed my bags for greener pastures elsewhere...still ongoing in family although now company haulage only.. Until they need engine rebuild....get into accident/s...hit someone....rainy season which are normally off peak periods... falls off ditch.....there are quite alot unfortunate circumstances which comes with all business...biggest hurdles are Government policies can change any day without any consultation.....
