megacontrol: I’m sorry I didn’t feedback. There are bigger distributors here and my contact said I can only get through their distributors According to him, they are no longer accepting new distributor. When I told him I sold 12 truck within a month, he laughed and said most of distributors do over 100 truck. I’m still working on it though until I fully settle down. For now, I’d be using Dangote for my block production. 1 Like |

megacontrol: It appears you're not a Nigerian.......... What gives you the right to ask for such? Maybe you should open a thread for such and put up your certification for scrutiny as the first candidate..........Or better still change the topic of this thread to suit your cravings? Assuming everyone does according to your ridiculous statement are you going to give all of them building projects to do and you pay them according to the age of their certification and number of years of experience? Nothing person no go see for NL.............. 2 Likes |

uncleteeh: I think the focus of the professional bodies shouldn’t be to play the role of the skipper and the umpire but to regulate the industry and enforce strict compliance with standards. I love the way one of my client engaged them in one of my old projects. They were always around to check the project at every critical stages. No concrete work is done until the stage is certified by the M&E and structural consultants. 2 Likes |

bixton:Sir there is no need to be this aggressive, he is just suggesting an idea that is being practiced around the world. We understand our system and government don’t have visions, not ready for national planning for development. Why do I say this, everything in our country is politic, tribalism. People are loyal to their tribe them country. How can we develop with these kinds of mentality. 4 Likes |

sinorte: I wish you were in the sustainable design class and you’ll see how we’ve ALL being doing it wrong. From our class today, minimalistic design was re-explained as process of editing your lifestyle. When you have too much in your design, you’re creating more to maintain, replace and secure. The world is moving towards using very little to achieve a lot. We are moving in the opposite direction. _____ Ill look into something simple and share. 3 Likes |

kopell: Sir,....... It's quite disheartening that we do not have functional systems but we have good operational systems that enables jobs/projects to be executed. Many of these is because we as individuals in one way or the other are either complacent or negligent. The construction industry has alot of professional bodies/institutions under it directly/indirectly........even people doing logistics/supply are not exempted. Let the proposed bill be re-written properly and penalities be spelt out for defaulters from both clients to professionals of all cadres............ 2 Likes |

davodyguy: E good as you do am o. At least you don do that one comot from ground. Na there you go dey, dey await and dey draw yansh back and before you know it, you don use the money chop "point and kill" and drink better beverage or life go create other expenses because the money dey there dey breath. Fast forward to when price come drop, you go begin find the money, you no go see. Na then you go begin ask yourself: What did I do with the money? Anything that needs doing and I have the ability to do it, I just do it and get it out of the way. If I don't save on this occasion, I will save on another aspect. Delay is dangerouse. 5 Likes |

bixton: Oga, laws are meant for the people and not the people for the law. Sometimes, in making laws we balance the harm vs benefit. In the the case of housing in Nigeria as a whole, we have a problem that outweighs any benefit from draconian law and this is in most communities. That problem is the shortage of livable (not even affordable ) housing. Common sense and discretion should be applied, so that we don't throw the baby away with the bath water. Wisdom means we cannot pull down a one bedroom apartment of a widow because she did not follow building codes and could not use the service of professionals. The argument might be in favor of safety and standard but my grandmother has been living in her house which was built before the war till date. We will get to that point you envisaged when government starts providing free or affordable housing for the citizens who cannot afford a standard house of their own. In countries where we copy these laws, at least that is the first thing they have in place, that way nobody would have any excuse to build an undesirable house. Secondly, where is the data that shows that there is an urgent problem, that poorly constructed houses are killing or are causing safety issues for Nigerian? What is the average household income of most Nigerians and compare that to the cost of building a standard family house (2-3 bedroom)? 4 Likes |

Wait, who is this loose cannon? Where did you fall from? Oh I see... You are one of the quacks parading as professional. That explains why you sound so pained. Pls drop your contact number, let me check something. Abi you don’t like to collect jobs as an untrained and unlicensed QS? No wonder you’re equating yourself to artisans and unskilled labor. No difference actually. Na them! P.S: Drop your digits let’s help your career offline. bixton:

Today na licensing day To all of us (Pro, Pro Max, licensed and cowboys) using unlicensed and illegal immigrants from Benin Republic on our projects , I wish us a Happy Builders Week! I knew what to expect from this end so I’m not surprised at all. In the other news, let me share with you what me and over 40,000 baba latis around the world learnt today from the sustainable interior design week. New knowledge of passive and sustainable house design gained. I got exposed to new tools that makes designing for sustainability as easy as pie.
