My profis am back again. So far so good progressing with my house but it has not been easy. So i asked my window guy for his quotation, i got the below; Aluminium casement window 4x4 at a price of #40k each 2x2 at a price of #20k sliding window with net 4x4 at a price of #28 2x2 at a price of #15 However in Nairaland i have seen a different quotation format as shown below: 1 1200 X 1400 2 1700 X 1900 3 1400 X 1400 4 1200 X 1600 Does this make any sense to you guys? should i ask for similar quotations. Also what should i be looking out for in terms of material quality. |

bixton: Someone was asking me what's the function of porch if not to entertain guests that do not need to have access into our building. Like place your meter there and put nepa bill ![]() ![]() I just shook my head and replied "I use porches and terraces to shield the building from direct sunlight, thus keeping it cooler." Architecture don suffer for naija!! Abeg o dont take me too serious o. I'm not an architect o! 1 Like |

KIDfurniture: You are right. I have experienced tenants problems a lot. Right from when I was living with my uncle after my NYSC in the early 2000s. He stays in a duplex and has a 2 storey building with tenants adjacent. Collecting rents was usually fraught with anger and quarrels. The annoying thing was that these tenants seems to be doing well going by their status and life styles. A case of deliberate and wilful default. He finally handed over the building to one no-nonsense lawyer that was recommended to him. An Ogbomoso man with heavy tribal marks on both cheeks of his face. ![]() The agreement was that each year, he would pay my uncle the whole money from his pocket and follow up with tenants for his money. My uncle agreed to collect 450k each flat from him while he would collect 550k from each tenant. My brother, when the lawyer showed his true colour, no be person tell those tenants to pay. The lawyer was practically behaving like a native doctor. Some paid, some left and he immediately brought new tenants. Since then, my uncle has been quietly enjoying his retirement and his money. 4 Likes |

n3xt: I already listed what i received and am only trying to understand why the quotation i receive have a different format. This is what i received; Aluminium casement window 4x4 at a price of #40k each 2x2 at a price of #20k sliding window with net 4x4 at a price of #28 2x2 at a price of #15 This is clearly different from what i have seen here so am only trying to understand the difference in the format. As in 4x4 (chich i received) compared to a 1200x1400 (which i have seen here). 1 Like |

There's no hankypanky here. Your measurement is in british units of feet, while the other is metric mm. 4ft x 4ft is same as 1200mm x1200mm. godquality: 2 Likes |

n3xt: Thanks, that makes sense now. Do you or anyone else thing am getting a good deal in terms of the price mentioned and the material quality i will get assuming the guy is honest? What should i be looking out for in terms of the aluminium to be use and is there a better material other than Aluminium that can be used? 3 Likes |

n3xt:the fact that your build fits ur land space does not make it one plot be definition. today your one plot is 100ftx50ft. is ur land up to that? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by n3xt(m): 7:08pm On Feb 01, 2021 |
erico2k2: 100ft x 50ft is just about the size of the building I built on the land. You’ll get 3.76 of 100ft x 50ft plot from the land. That’s a plot in the estate. You can’t buy anything less than that in the low density area of the estate. 1 Like |
