Good morning everyone, i have been a long time observer but i have been pushed out of the shadows because of this Cement issue.. Does anyone foresee any price reduction and how soon will it be? I have put a project on hold since November because of Cement and my iron rods are rusting on site! ��..

Oh! I hope it’s not a slab. If it is just quickly find fund to cast the slab because of the formwork.

I can tell you the pricing won’t go lower than 2950 in the foreseeable future.

So if you’re using 200 bags for instance, it’ll only cost you 40 - 50k extra. If you ask me, does it really worth the long wait? NO!

You can even lose some of the things you kept on site while you wait.

If I’m a contractor on your project, I won’t wait for 2 months to get my job done and move on to other things. I’ll only try as much as possible to save from other areas.

Enugu cement prices are coming down, a dealer asked me to come and carry for N3,500 yesterday. I was telling him N3,400 or no show.

I bought cement for 3000 today....
Bought last week for 3500 in Ilorin

[it is sir, decking slab! I have 4 tons of iron rod on site as we speak! Granite and all set! Just Cement! And Cement is going for 3200 here at atan ota ogun state.

Bros, watch what you’re buying though. A respected engineer bought some cement 2 weeks ago and the ramp he used it to cast has not dried up till date.

He must have gotten rebagged cement.

A lot of all these unscrupulous elements understand that everyone will be looking for low pricing right now and they’ll do anything to offer you ridiculous price.

I only buy directly from Lafarge and reliable partners.

The great Spyder replies me.! Mehn... I am a long admirer of ur works sir! Infact seeing ur works was one of the motivations i needed to press on! Odogwu! May ur years be long and prosperous !

You should be able to get 3,000 direct from Lafarge Ewekoro. Let me see if I can speak with a rep on that axis.

Thank you.. It would be well appreciated!

Thank you bro, God will bless all of us this year, may your building be smooth and may you live to enjoy the house till forever. Thanks for putting a smile on my face this morning.

Yay or Nay? saydfact (long time no hear) and others... what do you generally do?

I know most will say its the client's call but i believe there's a point where the benefits (if any) becomes insignificant and therefore the additional cost isn't justified. that's the decision point i'm looking for.

Pls feel free to chime in. any suggestions are without any liabilities so caveats are fine.

Indeed - long time for me here, Thanks for checking up.

If the local don't meet standard, why hasn't SON kicked it out of the market? #JustAsking.

Yes, like EVERY OTHER imported stuffs are, you expect more higher quality but the question shd be DOES THE LOCAL MEET THE MINIMUM REQUIRED STANDARD ?

Smiles. I taya o. As if the cost of setting up these companies is just 100k and these companies are in the major cities not bush or hideouts.

Even FG buy from African Foundries.

Hello distinguished member, please where can I get a mini concrete poker/vibrator for a personal project?
I found this (pic attached) on aliexpress but I cant afford to wait for it to ship.
I don't mind a Tokunbo unit as well.
Thanks for your help.

He singlehandedly motivated a lot of us who started building back then.

I live in Nigeria now and building a micro estate and I just don’t know how he has time and patience to take all those photos and still come online to educate us

Yikes

I almost forgot to mention @oseun (an old timer here)

If dealing with matured and responsible elderly men is what you’d like, he’s a sure deal.

He’s one of the most respected elderly person I’ve ever met physically on nairaland and he’s got game and style.

______
I’d have to ask if I can share his personal details here though.

Thanks alot . This is helpful.
The contact information is not very visible.
I don't know why Nairaland compresses screenshots so much

Greenarrow01:

.thank you sir
I will be expecting

Met someone in the container dept today. He said it depends on what is inside the container and clearing is 5% of the total worth. I think u need to go to the port cos all this clearing agents are funny o. Which shipping company is he using and which line?

Check Arena in Oshodi (Tools Section).

I saw it there when I was buying my car wrench. The guy first brought the mini poker before he later got me the wrench.

I can’t remember his number. Just check arena (tools section)

Great mind and engineers in the house, please what’s your input on this rough sketch?
Land size is 50*100

This is indeed a rough sketch and it will remain rough if not scaled and dimensioned accordingly.
Sketches ain't designs.
When you start designing a sketch (accurate dimensioning of spaces, you will know that your sketch is KPK)
Therefore: bring to us only designs and not sketches.

Baba, you are very funny.
I don't think the price of cement will get reduced anymore.
You sabi Nigeria na, when things get inflated, they don't come to the normal prices any more.

It has been a very long time.

Arena is more like a civilized market in Lagos state. Maybe because of the armies sha


Let me help you with a contact in Arena.

Call Daniel 0703 946 0321 and send him the picture of what you want so that he can help you check it in the tools section.

He’s in the market and I’ve transacted lot of business through him without leaving my house. He’ll gladly do it for a token. I hope he’s able to get it though.

Thanks for the advise sir...

But please how can I differentiate between original and the repackaged one sir??

I bought from same store I bought for 3500 last week.

Boss,I greet your government.... Please put me in the know too. Was told 3600 at Kenyatta

I want to commence with my building project and I want a 3bedroom house. How much would it cost to erect something like this, a roofless house of course.

Dont worry, I will search and if I get lower, I will announce it here.

If it’s working for you. That’s a good one!

It’s hard to visible eyes except you catch them red-handed. They’ll seal back the bag neatly.
However, an experienced labourer can sense the difference from the weight. When you sit a rebagged cement, you’ll also notice a void.

Always request for factory sealed cement. I wish it’s that easy though

Nature of soil
Location
Type of finishing are key determinants when it comes to building cost.

On dry land (average finishing) budget N13m.
Waterlogged land N15m.
