Good Evening, I have recently been seeing a lot of ads on Instagram for laminate and spc flooring as alternative to ceramic tiles. Are they a better alternative in terms of pricing and durability? 2 Likes |

KolaShangOne: Go lean. When there’s problem, I always look for opportunities. This is the time for integrators to chop. You’ll eventually discover that going smart in all builds will be far more cheaper in the long run. With smart wiring, you can have a combination of many different types of wires used around the home into a single location, which allows for the integration of many different smart home systems and sensors throughout your home. Because there are not so many practicing professionals in the naija construction industry (we only have certificate holders who run to govt every time there’s a problem), we tend to feel all these manufacturers can keep holding us to ransom when there are thousands of alternatives to explore. Before IP networks, we have X10 technologies in the time past. ____ For almost a decade, I’ve been able to cut off the cost of having switches installed to power my gate and fence lights. Neither do I have special control box for my dc pump. Everything is powered from my automatic gate controller using the cheapest wires. Integration is the next BIG thing. What’s the point of having light switches when there are motion-activated or day/night light? _____ Pic 1 - I had this installed in my build in 2012. I’m looking for something better like in pic 2. Instead of having multiple wall sockets, you can do 1 and have USB over CAT6 installed in all rooms.

n3xt: I’m enjoying all these Sir. Reason is I won’t be accused of doing Americana things since you’re already doing them here. Next time I go to site I’ll take a picture of my construction information stand ![]() Anyways pictured is what I’ll be using in each room. I brought this from the USA. Cat 5e and above cable can bring power, audio and video on one cable. My 6 year old child in the USA grew up not using wall switches because my house is automated by Amazons Alexa and Samsung’s SnarThings. Spaces have no light switches because sensors detect when you enter and on the light and then off them all based on time of day. Strategic lights come on when you’re at a set distance from the house, etc ImTHEpossible. https://www.samsung.com/us/smart-home/ https://www.amazon.com/alexa-skills/b?ie=UTF8&node=13727921011 1 Like

n3xt: It is not advisable to use cable tray or cable basket for single core cables because of single insulation. Flexible cable is advisable on cable trays or basket, flexible cable have double insulation. Also remember that the price of flexible cable is smiling in the cable. I have worked with client that the consultant design for cable basket and all cable used were all flexible from coleman. But the total cost of the cable is about 3.8m. I normally use it when it comes to armoured cable or bigger size of with double insulation. Check this thread for installation done using cable tray https://www.nairaland.com/1233943/contact-us-electrical-mechanical-plumbing/25 4 Likes

I like the fact that you've been an advocate for hiring professionals. Can you and all the practicing builders here confirm they are dully registered with NIB/NSE/COREN or other bodies as the case may be? Can all the dully registered professionals on this forum signify, provide their registration nos for verification and state the licensing body? This might be a good place to start from. rotecch77: 1 Like |

I don’t attend naija builders’ week but something far more enriching and advanced locally and internationally Neither do I put on facecaps and “I’m a builder” T-shirt. We’ve compared stuffs and we knew those who can add true value. ________ @rotecch77 You might want to share contents from the Builders week with us. Let’s compare stuffs. I recently went through naijas building code, I cannot but smile.

Your message is understood but let's be clear that this is a gross exaggeration. The problem with such misinformation is that you could potentially discourage others from venturing or even make someone pay more than they should while thinking they got a fair deal. If you want to, you may state the amount you were billed and what it covers. One thing you can bank on with Elegushi is that once you pay in full at commencement nobody shows up at your site again. That's a big deal for a prime location, especially when compared to what obtains in some other areas. As per the legality... we've been told many times by LASG that they are illegal and you don't have to pay anyone anything. It's then up to us what we make of that. Greenarrow01: |

Hello n3xt, Where are you with your BUA link to supply directly from factory to Lagos market? I assume this is what you will be using for block molding at your new project. Will be willing to take some supplies if its available at the right price. Thanks chief. n3xt: n3xt: |
