Hello House,
Need some heads up from you all.
I just roofed my house carcass(storey building) and what stage do I proceed now.
1.Laying the plumbing pipes
2. Laying the electrical pipes
3.fixing the aluminium window frame
4.plastering the building.
5.etc etc.
Please how do I arrange the above task after roofing.
Need this so that I can arrange myself financially.
Thanks and look forward to your comments.
Daboomb, angelic, Hajji, skimanski, checkitout,

I agree with this sequence, but be careful of Number 2, do that only if your site is secure. I have had cases of people drawing out the wires from the pipes and stealing them at night. Good wires are costly these days.

What of aluminium wire. Often times when it says 16mm it is the aluminium wire.

skimanski:

You have no total area of where you want to tiled.
Nobody can tell you the right number of cement you need.
Buy four first and see how far that can take the job to
then you decide how many you will buy more to finish the job.

Is this 2bedroom flat semi detached or single two bedroom sir?
Often times the number of cement bags needed is not always accurate, a tiler may request 10bags & end up using 20. Like someone rightly suggested is buy bag as u go. Get around 6bags for a start, someone should always be on ground to supply them should incase they need more...

Daboomb, angelic, Hajji, skimanski, checkitout,

1. Plumbing; Pipe laying only. Fttings to come after plumbing (You will be breaking walls a lot)
2. 1st stage Elelctrical (draw conduit wirings, backpanels, DB's but no final fittings yet)
3. fix Aluminium windows (cover it properly with polythene/Nylon)
4. Plastering (to seal-in windows, plumbing pipes and wires, e.t.c)
5. What about Tilling?

My method, my opinion.
More grease to your elbow.

No:4: fix window and seal them dressing/rendering

Portland cement can be used for walls, white cement are mostly used to blind the grout.
2 bags will be enough for 12.96sqm

If I go by this estimate, it means l should be looking at about 18 bags of cement for 127sqms? As I currently have a small project of 127square metres that will require tiling in the next couple of weeks? Thanks as you respond

If u have the money i will advise u to go for one inch square pipe, i dont think the difference is that much. But i still prefer the square pipe to thick pipe.

Which is better, Galvanised Steel or Iron for Stair case Railings?
Any idea about average price per metre? Or how do they measure it?

Thanks. Though it's actually a square pipe, I only think the 1 inch square pipe will be a bit bogus.

Hi
On your question it all depends on the packing of the tiles in question
Tiles comes in different packing like 1.8,1.6,1.4 etc
But 13m² should not be more thank 7 or 8 packs
