QSFemi: This is exactly the reason why Project monitoring is more important. If the BOQ specifies 40 bags of cement at 1:2:4 mix ratio, a cheat can use 23 bags of cement at 1:4:8 ratio and add stone dust to make the concrete look rich. The remaining 17 bags of cement is ![]() I believe you get my drift. Establishing accurate quantities of items of work and the specification list works great on paper but not on site where a rogue builders/engineer/contractor is left to work without close monitoring. Tnx for sharing QSFemi 2 Likes 1 Share |

yinkaoke:Hello, sorry this is coming late. I'll advise you to go for Royal, cdk or goodwill super polish, but the prices are on the high side, as of yesterday I sold goodwill super polish for 5000. Generally, different tiles are made specifically for different uses, so people make mistakes of using a tile made for like say rooms, in a high traffic area, the tiles will fade off. My advise to you will be to use Spanish or China tiles on the floor, Nigerian tiles can then be used on the walls, but if you're trying to be economical, use royal, cdk or goodwill super polish(nylon face). |

money121: I read threads on Nairaland but never planned on joining the forum till today. I started building a small bungalow in Ikorodu some years back, we had just reached the roofing stage and got three contractors to take measurements for a roof installation. The first installer measure 575sqm@3100 for a Bond stone coated roof, he gave a quote of 2.2m Second contactractor informed me that currently the market price of a sqm of the same Bond roofing was 7k as opposed to the actual price of 3,100. Was on nairaland searching for something else and found a title that looked like a thread on Roofing. I found imran roofing and went through about 100pages of his works and saw all the positive reviews, decided to give him a try. Spoke to the CEO Mr Ayyub he sounded so professional with good marketing strategy and a great sense of humour. His installation team went to take their measurement at about 6am the next day it was 416sqm@3100 and gave a quote of 1.6., a difference of 600k. I had to ring the installer to see if he was in the right location, he sent a photo back confirming he was at my site. The first contractor had clearly made an addition to the measurements. Haba! Kilode! ENSURE YOU DO YOUR ON RESEARCH. There are a lot of scammers in the name of contractors out there. If you are still doubting where to get your roofing done, you have reach your BUS-STOP. GBAM! Look no further! Trust me, Mr Ayyub is the man for you. The best, hands down! 100% customer satisfation guaranteed! Giving Updates all the way when loading materials, videos and photos. Took a day and a half to complete,neat and clean job, no stories! Shout!!! Imran roofing to the world!!!! 1 Like |

SurveyorGeo: In light of this, let me share my most recent experience... A client contacted me to build for him in an Estate in Ibadan. This estate is owned by a big estate management company, the kind you will buy land from and ne largest assured. While I was building, my client's brother came and said he wants me to handle his own build too, in the same estate. I don't usually do paperwork for clients but the new client said I, instead of the estate management, must handle his paperwork too. Do you know what we discovered? The land is actually under [/b]government acquisition, and therefore state govt won't sign the red copy. The Est mgt claimed they bought the land from the local government. Even if that is so, shouldn't the state government be aware? And Ratification done? 4 Likes |

KolaShangOne: O boy, that's gut wrenching ! 9jiria is really jagajaga. One of the reasons I say to invest in 9ja, it needs boots on the ground bare knuckle approach. In the west, your client could have easily swapped few emails with the county recorders office or hec, look up the information on their website to ascertain the ownership of the land. Then check with municipal to verify the zoning of the area. Prior to purchasing the land, get a title insurance just incase, the title company usually do their own leg work as well to make sure there's no k leg on the land. All these is to avoid this situation your client found themselves now.. I understand why people have vowed not to invest in Nigeria because of its numerous uncertainties but I still admire those that brave the uncertainties, wriggle their way through the bad system and invest in the country. Well, I truly hope your client's issue gets resolved with a positive outcome.. 3 Likes |

Lollipop20: If you have done better home work You paid "416sqm@3100 and gave a quote of 1.6., a difference of 600k" You would have paid 416 X2740 = 1,139,840 1.600,000 - 1,139,840 = (460,160 your saving) Roofing have lot of games and players I can tell you your measurement will likely be about 385 to 416 3 Likes 1 Share |

GoodFaith: This is one of the things that have made me loose faith in some people. Why would a fellow human being hellbent on ripping their fellow human beings up like that. During this pandemic and lock down. I have gone through some of the projects that I have been involved in the past, it almost brought tears to my eyes. Roofing measurements off by almost 300 sqm, tiling, wiring etc ![]() ![]() And to think many of these people will go to the mosque tomorrow, to their different churches on Saturday and Sundays do really buggles my mind. 7 Likes |

Badgers14:My brother, my fingers were badly burnt from my experience with our artisans. This was when i built my 4- bedroom bungalow in 2018. I was very kind to them by paying ALL their charges on the first day of work, by giving them generous tips during my site visits, and by taking meals to them during my visits. All these kind gestures did not deter them from duping me. They nearly ate me alive. The worst of them was the electrician. I remember paying for 3 bundles of 16mm single core (65k each) and 23 bundles of 1.5 single core. He still told me he managed the wires. Only the bricklayer and the welder passed my integrity test. Most of our contractors (builders, engineers, and architects) are also culpable of these dubious acts. But on a higher level. Only the Lord can save us. 5 Likes |
