Option one is definitely cheaper.

Option one can also be more beautiful or esthetically pleasing than option two depending on how you finished the building and since beauty is subjective.

Option one is more durable and will not lick easily because of lack of excessive Valley. Roof lick easily at the valley, since long span roofing sheet is used for option one the dilemma of joint along purlin is eliminated.

Option one can also have better resistance to uplifting wind or any lateral lad acting on the roof through the introduction of parapet wall (don't confuse with concrete fascia).

how does parapet wall look like.

parapet wall is a wall built at the edge of the roof round to serve as wind breaker. It looks good on a building if properly done

PPR pipes.
Welded with a machine whereby the pipe goes on a hole within the hand held machine, heats it all up, which reveals a glue part, then they couple the pipes together. The pic above by Topsy/Kola is that of the ongoing pipe work at my site.

Thank you sir.
I know someone who is a plumber and he keeps telling me that PPR pipes cannot be used as a hot water channel.
That it leaks at a certain temperature.

Pp-r, pipe is good for both hot and cold water. Line, although many low quality are now flooded the mkt, also Encho pipe is also very good, I do use both of them, these is NL member house project at Ajah and ikeja GRA
Diff" project

The Ppr pipe can withstand temperature up to 95 oc. And 25bar pressure

Fakes will continue to flood the market even more because demand is high and people continue to look for cheaper options. There's this "this one will do the work too" option we always have.

Thank you so much for this valuable information.

Well, soakaway is done. Lots of lesson learned

I continue to thank the builders for sharing with us. Most importantly for establishing achievable benchmark in quality.

My bricklayer and I have a different eye for quality.

"Sebi sokawe lasan ni"

But he's willing to learn, this is a big plus for me

Great thread guys... I have 2 serious questions.
1. There is a major gist going around that the cement used in wall screeding "burns" after some years". How true is this?

2. I intend to build a small lowcost duplex within three years. While following spyder's thread I feel he will achieve his with about 6m after roofing. My question is that I intend to go in 3 stages of 2m each. How do I break the stages or do I start with purchase of blocks and rods with the first 2m?

Great day guys

It really depends on how quickly you want to complete or at least reach decking stage.

If you want to reach decking within 6 to 9 weeks then start money on about 3k blocks, 500 bags of cement, sharp sand, Gravel or granite, 2 tonnes of iron (1-16mm, .5-12mm and .5-8mm, about 50 pieces of 1by12by12 plank wood . After this hold about 500k for misc. Your next big purchase should be at decking level.

I say this assuming that you are supervising it yourself and can secure the cement otherwise buy about 200-300 initially and the rest at decking stage.

Hajji M,

I have read where all our expert Builders (almost everyone of them) have pasted on their construction projects.. "Now we are into Screeding stage".

How come none of them can answer the question the gentle man asked?
I am trying to provoke someone to answer the question, though.

I have never done (that is if l even know) this thing they call "Screeding" in any of my builds but l do know that we use 'white chalk' (Efun, white plaster or what ever name you wish to call it) to paint the wall first, to allow the final colour to stand out.

That is an age-old tradition ..... but this "Screeding" term got me all confused so, l need help there too.

Well, there is more than one way to kill a Cat!

Someone who has done "Screeding" on his build can tell us what it is all about.

Then we can use that to really understand the scam part since l am sure, scam is not such a big grammar!


Its like if l say "Unorthodox specimens conglomerate to the nearest proximity" ...

....when all l intend to say is simply "Birds of the same feather, flock together"

Now, that is a "grammatical scam"!
