Greetings everyone!

Please I saw a quotation for wrought iron hand rails for 28k, though the common price per meter length is 35k or so here in the East.

I personally have doubts but my friend who got the quote is confident and wants to go ahead.

Has anyone seen such a price for wrought iron jobs?
NB: The person to do the job had just completed one in my friend's village and from the video it looks like a good job.

Or are their various qualities of wrought iron in the market that warrant such a low price?

@michilin and n3xt and others please comment.

drop pictures of the rails you want to do.


Here's what happened, I went to buy 14mm wrought iron rod this morning. Something I bought twenty lengths on Saturday only to be informed that there has been #300 increase on each rod. I bought extra ten pieces with tears from my eyes.

What am I saying, if you want to give him the job,do that ASAP cause cost of materials is increasing by day

This is the rod in question. E just dey chop money dey go but like Oga Spyder880 talk,buy your materials in bulk if you have the funds. If to say I didn't buy much of the rods that I need for this gate, it would end in premium tears

Pls kindly upload the design.

Kindly help with the number of bags of granite (especially) and cement required to cast the foundation of a water tank (4 legs). The dimension given for each is 15in x 15in x 36in.

Please note that constraint is being exercised at this stage, so there's no much money to throw around.

I'm actually torn between buying 5tons of granite or the required number of bags same.

@N3xt, BrabusNG,
Kindly help. I tried using the tool on KoboCity but I'm not sure its built for this my purpose.

Nice burglary design. This seems to be in Cameroon and not Nigeria going by the phone number indicated on the picture. The one I saw in Nigeria was for big entrance doors used mostly by boutique and showrooms.

Do you produce this open able burglary as it is there in Nigeria?

According to Kobocity Cement Concrete Calculator II, you will need 1 bag of cement to achieve M15 1:2:4 Grade of Concrete but I'd suggest you give 2 bags.

Also, 5 tons is tooooooooooo much for the job. 4 wheelbarrow load max should be fine.

I always tell people this.

A survey plan on its own is not a 'valid' title, either registered or unregistered.

A survey plan only shows you the dimension and location of a land, its coordinates and may be the beacon numbers.

5 of us can have a survey plan drawn in our names by 5 different land surveyors on a single plot.

What you should do is to ask the vendor if he/she has a valid title that confirms he owns the land.

if he doesn't have other than a receipt (which itself does not confirm ownership, cause I can also issue you a receipt on a land that doesn't belong to me) take the survey plan to the Office of the Surveyor General of Oyo State, and Chart it first to confirm if the land is free from acquisition and if under acquisition, is it committed or can be ratified by you obtaining consent to Survey.

Start here first

ollykay619:


I assume you are talking about the survey plan the land seller shows the buyer.

I have a question, what is red copy survey and does that serve as any form of a valid title?

But l understand that you cannot REGISTER the "RED COPY Survey" at the Land Registry, if another individual has registered a previous Red Copy Survey for the same land (same geo-cordinates), with the and Registry.
Apart from the first registered Survey at the registry, any other SURVEY will not be registered for the same land, at the Land Registry, and such survey is just a dimension drawings.

In essence, a properly registered Survey at the Land Registry, is PART of Title Document.
It is infact, the first Title Document, upon which other Title Docs will flow from.

why are you misleading people here? A survey plan is never a title document. it only describes a land more accurately and with precision.

This is sad. It is the near perfect solution for sliding glass doors. The factory manufactured ones don't need that much running maintenance.

This burglary has issues with frequent maintenance and repair. Being that its movable parts are just screws, you need to keep applying grease else,a hungry adult can't open it

How is he misleading people? ALL documents pertaining to a property is a title document from survey plan to C of O to purchase receipt and even renters payment on the land or property is a prove of ownership.

C of Os have been proven defective by rental receipt. So Mrs A has C of O to a land, but from time immemorial, renters of the said land have been paying rent to Mrs B, the courts will not hesitate to rule in Mrs B's favour.

Thanks boss. In terms of durability and function, would you recommend American panels?

I am particular about them because they were one of the cheapest from my market survey.

1. Wood - #23k without frame and key
2. American Panel - 23k with frame
3. PVC - 17k

Th eissue of these American Panel Doors have been discussed in previous pages (you can search for it) and the overall conclusion was that they as as bad as they come, a sheer waste of money.
I used them as internal doors and l had to replace them. In terms of strength and durability, they are nothing, compared to a Wooden Panel door.

If you want to build strength into the beauty, then use those doors offered by @michelins (l can see the price of his doors creeping up gradually, from #18,000 .... #25,000 grin though Materials prices are not stable in recent times).

Run away from American Panel doors, not buying original ones wont be enough excuse, when they fail you woefully.

Boss, I am a practising lawyer. I know what I am saying. Survey plan has never been a title document. I DNT have that energy to be arguing with those who have watched BOSTON LEGAL or those American law films.

Not based on Youtube o. It is common in shops in the UK. In some old colonial houses in Ikoyi, they're still operational. Some duplexes in FECTAC still retain it in it's original form.

I'm surprised at this lack of ambition. These hurdles are not insurmountable. There are a million moving parts in a typical vehicle for which lubrication has been cracked.

What's the difference between this and the larger sliding doors for terraces?

Anyone else interested in running with this as a business, please drop your details here.

Especially if produced as a retrofitted replacement for those death traps we have seemingly made the norm, you will have a ready market here - starting with mine.
