spyder880:Why, I have it on one of mine building since 2016 no single leak till date. The corrugation may be the problem, though I brought mine directly from first aluminum in Lagos. 1 Like |

Esosaqueen: Yes, building a house in Nigeria is worth it especially when you’re doing it early in life. The house you own here is an asset which can generate for you a passive income. Read more on kobocity.com Why you should invest in real estate in Nigeria? |

BrabusNG: Thanks for the feedback. I guess I should use steptiles 0.45mm. Hope you recommend it? 1 Like |

ananne: I’d recommend you push for 0.55 gauge of step tiles. Not many installer can handle 0.45 gauge very well. They’ll install but you’d experience leakage after they’ve left and after you might have installed valuables in your building. 0.55 is far more reliable and you get less complaints from those who use this gauge. Also, buy from reputable aluminum company. There are cheaper alternatives but if you’re directly involved in materials purchase, I’d recommend you buy from big aluminum companies. You’d save yourself lot of headache and heartaches in the long run. Your roof is as good as the man who installed it. Happy Building!! 3 Likes |

ananne:don't use metcoppo or steptiles, use long span or Gerrard if you have the money. So many leakage with metcoppo especially and they won't be able to correct it until they remove all the roofing sheet |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by dongc(m): 7:16pm On Jan 17, 2021 |
ananne: First express is good company atleast you are sure of the guage you are paying for...they get their coils from first aluminum i think...well they used to but not sure now... I am not sure why everyone is shouting 0,55gauage....0,45 would do the job easily... back in the days while I was IT student at BEST aluminum .... colorcoat or colotek from first aluminum 0,55 are recommended mostly for metal rafters/industrial buildings with highwalls or for places with excessive winds... Times may have changed but still....again if you have money to pay for extra guage who are mine...till next time.... 2 Likes |

BrabusNG:don't tell me they are spending from their monthly salary or their income working day and night in abroad or businesses they run LEGALLY (that's if they actually exist cos big men with over 500m to buy land won't be here looking for cheap alternatives or DIY) We know all route where people make such money, we have traveled abroad, we have been to few countries, I have mingle with big people in Nigeria as well, we know where they make it BIG. Government thieves, drug pushers, fraudsters (wire wire crew) and ritualist. It's very hard turning 10m to 100m within few years in Nigeria economy. We have rich people in Nigeria; yes! accept... but what's their root to the TOP? Nigeria is the only country where anybody can become rich overnight without tracing their source....... people like Invictus Obi, shina pella comes to mind. 5 Likes |

zuraking:his brother was doing the business when my Oga was an engineering student at UNN. Unfortunately his elder brother died and he took control of the business and brought education to the business. The business exploded exponentially and today he's one of the biggest importers of generator parts in Nnewi. If you have any petrol generator, I can bet you that you have his product in the generator. He's also into the importation of motor parts 2 Likes |

zuraking: Not everyone here is looking for cheaper alternatives. How do I know? I have client here who spent as much as N2m to draw a semi detached duplex plan. Most architects here would charge 700k as premium to go same job. I have those who spent as much as 20m to import unbreakable glass panel for their residential builds. A cheaper alternative would cost less than N4m. There are people making it legitimately here. They’re just silent. 4 Likes |

The answer will depend one one's need. If you live outside the country, and do not intend to live in Nigeria, then it may not be the wisest thing to do. However, if you visit Nigeria regularly enough, it's probably fine to have somewhere to stay while you are on ground. So having a property there is a good idea. Plus, some or part of the property can be rented out. In my opinion though, it's better to OWN a property (Paid off) where ever you actually stay, before thinking about somewhere you just visit occasionally. Esosaqueen: 1 Like |
