Yay or Nay? rotech77, spyder880, timtol, abdulwastecx, KolaShangOne, 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.


Can't outright say Yay or Nay. I think it all depends on the structure and the type of load it will carry.

If you're doing cantilever beams or slabs of >= 1.5metres, if you're having suspended floors that aren't well supported underneath etc, you should consider imported rods for its higher yield strength in both tensile and compressive aspects.

Me, I tell my iron bender to bend the rods. If it breaks easily, it's not good enough. Too brittle. I also check the diameter of rods.

I don't know if I'm the only that have noticed the not so good anteroom-sitting room arrangements in building plans. Ante rooms should lead both to the sitting room and lobby, so one can access the rest of the house straight from the anteroom without having to pass through the sitting room. example below

This inverter is not serviceable
Prag stopped support in 2015 after they phased it out and started their new line
So now it is essentially "use and throw away"
Except the local artisans have found a way around the circuit board
Finally, this is the wrong forum

Hello, pls google goes a long way to self educate yourself most times so it won't look as if you're lagging or speaking off-point .
The said Netherlands inverter product is durable & actively sold by said company your mentioned as seen in snapshot below ! I never said this was outrightly the best forum for advert but those interested will definitely reach out privately as it doesn't affect your discussions in anyway to be candid .. We've prospects calling from same forum and making backdoor transacts ! If interested, apply same positive energy to reach me ... Cheer's

The issue of reinforcement is problematic due to one, lack of standard and the fact that most wholesaler doesn't have a standard lab to test the engineering strength of the reinforcement.

If I'm working on heavy structures like, frames of heavy building, retaining walls, culvert etc, I request for tensile test, bending and others test from the rod sellers but for simple structures where strength is not of primary importance I work with whatever reinforcement I can lay my hand on.

On-site, we do simple bending test, to know how brittle and ductile the reinforcement is. Also, at the designing stage, I try as much as possible not to overworked the reinforcement by simply working with utilization ration of 50%.

Finally, most of what we build here are small structures of a storey to maximum four storeys and as a result, poor sizing of structural members like beams, columns, and footings is responsible for structural failures rather the actual strength of reinforcement.
Young Engineer with a lot of knowledge, why all of you guys go silent and watching us on the sidelines na. Anyway longest time , welcome back we missed your contribution and many like you still hiding on the sideline.

Infact we don’t know where we are going in this country again.

I waited for pop materials price to come down for the past 1 month yet I still bought it for
7500 per bags and 2000 for 1kg filers.

150 bags bought
200kg filers bought also
Our budget was 450k before now we have spent about 1.2m on materials ONLY.

Stay away from Rabiu Kehinde Adeniyi a.k.a Mountmoriah . He is a Criminal and Fraudster. I paid him #1, 369, 750 to supply me Roman stone coated roofing sheets and accessories. I haven't heard of him till now. All his lines switched off. I sent the payment to his GTB account number 0007312835. I trusted him based on the fact that he delivered wood to my site and I paid on delivery for the wood. After gaining my trust, he took measurements of my roof and opined to supply me the roofing sheets. I transferred to him for 48 hours now and haven't received the materials. I spoke with him this morning and he said they were on their way to Ibadan currently at Guru maharaji. Told him to snap the himself with the vehicle conveying the materials to my site since 10 am, he went off immediately and have been off since. I later called, him two lines switched off.

my work right now, there's so many materials and counterfeit eh that even with my experience is difficult to choose from. Imagine a total novice. If client decides to buy materials, how about electrode that has increased by over 80% this year alone. How about paint that is adding #100 almost every day. It seems insignificant but wait until two weeks and go there to buy it and you will nearly cry

I repeat, this guy is a Criminal. May God help me to get my money out. I'm done with anything Nairaland. This is a guy who was arrested last year for a 3.1Million Naira roofing sheets and materials fraud. It was after I sent funds to him I googled his name and found out about his previous scam record. This type of person shouldn't be on Kobocity or this property section of Nairaland.

I personally will not do any transaction if history once listed you as a scam......I hate stories that touch....plus Nigeria system is wack to track down scammers.
