These tiles are everywhere in Lagos and their prices varied a lot.

I got the ceramic tiles in picture below from a friend who import tiles in Ajah area.

It's called Country Clay and the Dimension is 8" x 25". I got it around N2,700 per sqm. I'll confirm the prices now cos that's a long time.

Thanks.

I think everything is fine except for the service charge. You should negotiate that further down.

I really do not think those prices are fair, I got a much cheaper quote even in an expensive city like PH,so you better go to the market to confirm those prices yourself

Yesterday, we installed 46 window subframe for the 2 units. Decking planks on Unit 1 are also removed and today the site is been cleared in preparation for the next phase of the project.

Materials for the covering of Unit 2 were also delivered yesterday and installation resumes today. More pictures are things begin to unfold.

Hi Brabus,

How can I determine the quantity of tiles needed for my project?

'Jide

Tiles Buying Guide

Tiles are usually sold per sqm, which are usually written on the cartons.

To determine the quantity you're buying, you need to understand the square area of the wall or floor you are tiling and then divide the square area of wall or floor by the specified square meter on the cartoon to determine the number of cartons required.

Note: you need to buy extra 10% per room for Skirtings and Breakages.

brabus: @ Farm+ and others requesting for details on the roof cladding.

We used .55 guage aluminium for the cladding. The colour is Ivory White and the product is from Standard Aluminium along Dopemu/Cement road. The installer is Dubasilo and he can reached on his mobile line +2348062444363 (Nnamdi).

He's a specialist but a very busy one. I've started chasing him since we break ground. At a much later time, I'll open a thread showcasing his works.
How much is the cost of this cladding. Please I just installed my gerrard roof and would like to install this cladding.
I just want to have an idea of the cost. Thank you

I was on site last Saturday and I saw 2 houses which were already roofed over 3 months ago before I took this project tearing off their cladding.

I guess they wanted something more classy and better. shocked I'm watching cos I want to learn.


What's more interesting is what we intend to use for the external ceiling? That one dey inside cooler!
