Yes, i know you are using stone coated, i stated it in my first respond to your post.

I quoted the quantites base on stone coated roofing sheets.

I work any where in Nigeria but excluding northern region for now.

Thanks

Does your definition of North include Abuja?
By the way, I need your advice on roofing of a duplex with a pent floor. The dimensions are 10m x 16m for the block work, however, there is parapet. A king post of 6 to 6.5m was recommended and I am considering stone quoted sheets if affordable.
Could you help with estimate on woodwork?

OK this 56.1ft by 33ft.

But there are some criteria that determine the accuracy of the quantity of woods you needed to roof this dimensional building project.

1. You need to make decision on the type of roofing sheet you want to use because the purlin spacing we use for long span roofing sheet is different from that of stepped tiles, though metecopo and stepped tiles purlin spacing are the same, and stone tiles or stone coated roofing sheets purlin spacing is different from all of them.

For instance long span purlin spacing is about 2.5ft to 3ft depend on instruction giving to carpenters.

Stepped and metecopo spacing is approximately 18 inches wish is 1 ft and 6 inches purlin spacing.

Stone coated or Stone tiles is approximately 14 inches purlin spacing which is 1ft and 2inches.

Meaning the purlins wood quantity for stone coated is more than stepped tiles and metecopo, and that of stepped tiles and metcopo is more than longspan and asbestos roofing sheets.

Having stated all this, if you are using stones coated and you get quote for long span hardwood, it will not work because you will need more woods for your purlin and additional work force.

Though all the woods for tie beam, rafters, strut or bracing and wall plate remain the same.

2. Another area which is critical is whatever you are using slate for your ceiling noggin covering or pop or PVC.

For instance if you are using slate though this is getting outdated now, the ceiling noggin spacing is 4ft by 4ft, but the standard for pop and pvc is 2ft by 4ft, but some pop designers insist on 2ft by 2ft which translate to the fact that if your contractor construct your ceiling noggin spacing using 2ft by 4ft, the pop designers can reject or condemn it which will translate in other opinion that the contractor have done a bad job for you and that can cause misunderstanding btw you and your contractor because the ceiling noggin will need to later be convert to 2ft by 2ft spacing.

But the fact remain that the standard for both pop and pvc ceiling covering is 2ft by 4ft ceiling noggin spacing, because the binding wire they use to hook or hang this pop is not connected with ceiling noggin, it is actually hook or hang to the tie beam, because it is the tie beam that will carry the weight of the pop, only the yawn, the white thread materials is connect with the ceiling noggin, i'm saying all this base on experience.

3. Another important point is whether you have a parapet or not. If you have a parapet, you won't need facial board for your over hang extension design because the parapet will replace the facial board, and the additional 2 inches by 2 inches by 12 ft (2x2x12) woods for the outside noggin won't be needed but if you don't have a parapet then you will need some facial board and additional 2x2x12 woods for the outside noggin over hang extension construction.

4. The height of your roof too added to the quantity of woods that will be needed, if you are considering 12 ft before getting the quote and after getting the quote or the contract awarded, you now decide that the height of your roof should be 16 ft you need to know there will be need for more woods, so this 5 points matters a lot in getting accurate quote for your roofing project

5. You need to know the length and breadth of your building.

Answering all this question and making a decision will be needed to give you an accurate quote because they are very essential.

Thanks

God bless you sir.


This is very educative. Thank you very much...

the woods i guess they gave you the prices for is by 18ft instead of by 12ft, I quoted the price for you.

For instant i quoted 3x4x12ft and you may have likely gotten the quote for 3x4x18ft

Yes there is Hand Saw and Machine Saw Wood , from Ore to Ondo, Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, you can get Machine Saw and Hand Saw woods but from Ore to benin to any part of the eastern states, you can only get Machine saw woods from their saw mills.
