So sorry for the slow updates, its been rather hectic sourcing for finishing materials and managing the site and artisans.

Work has been completed on the roof slab and roof beam and the blockwork for the parapet wall will begin tomorrow.

Hello, nice work, can I see teh smoothness of under the slab you used the marine boards on plz. Im thinking it wil to plaster.l be smooth enough not

Plastering of the interior space is in full swing and will be done within a week before moving to the exterior plastering.

Great work, I sight from here

@erico2k2, the pictures you requested for the slab underneath.

wow weldone sir... the building looking great

dont forget to call for dstv cctv in case you have need of it.

thanks

Nice work. looks like you are getting to the hardest part....finishing

I just have an observation and suggestion. The side walls of the terrace house should have windows. Instead of have just block work on the sides, window will bring in more ventilation, more lighting and overall more ascetics to the building. it will also add value compare to the middle unit. it's a fix that can still be done before proper finishing commences.

i live in a terrace house now with the same ugly side that is facing the street. Add some character with window for ventilation and light. it will even make the rooms seem bigger.

just my 2 kobo.

You are right. I saw the same thing too and I just kept quiet.

@Omoola007
We don't make much use of windows as another source of ventilation and lighting in Nigeria... but we are getting there.
Good observation.

Hajji M.

sorry so what are windows for?

@omoola007, thanks for the observation it is well noted. However, that particular wall does not have any room space, just the stairwell and the toilets. Windows are quite important for ventilation and natural lighting and I appreciate your advise.

@Hajj M, thanks.

@erico2k2, the pictures you requested for the slab underneath.

xlent, well will one achieve same if we use normal 1x12 board plus DPM on it?,I like the idea of smoothness,just lil bit of dressing needed then paint.

Roof woodwork started this morning and we should be through by Sunday. The roof cladding work will start immediately.

Window works in progress, some of the windows ordered have been delivered and they are just coupling the handles. Once the external plastering is concluded the windows will be fixed.

We are actually on go-slow mode since we started the finishing work but we are moving at a steady pace.

Ongoing work on the roof gable walls and the facial boards.

God speed Boss.

It's coming out greatly sir

The roof slab block wall has been completed and plastered, what is outstanding is the coping to be casted on it. The gable wall has been plastered also and once all roof slab work is completed, we can then clad the roof.

Work is already ongoing on the electrical conduiting for the second floor, once it is concluded the 2nd floor wall plastering will start.

The roof cladding work started yesterday morning and by evening, we were already done with 2 units. One more unit to do and the flash bands.

More roof cladding pictures

@Bitworks good job weldone Ooo. Pls what is the name of this roofing materia, Can you share more light on it cost per SQM?

@kopell, thanks for the compliments.

The roof cladding material is Onduvilla, its light weight, reflects heat and noise proof. Its made from bitumen and fibre and does not degrade or change colour. It cost between N2600 - N2800 per square metre, 3.23 sheets make a square metre.

Thanks stay blessed.
