Thanks Topsy23 for the explanations and breaking it down.
It shows that you as a mechanical and electrical engineer, are well rounded in the knowledge of the duties and responsibilities of other professionals in your industry (the construction industry).
The building industry is not about 1 Mr. Know-it-all & Do-it-all, but requires every professional to know his/her boundaries of expertise & respect the inputs & knowledge of other professionals in achieving successful projects.

More grease to your elbow & more grace to your efforts, Amen!

One of the reasons for this thread, learning about the construction process, recognizing professionals and exposing tricks that fraudsters use/exposing the quacks/below standard practices in the industry as well. Those that continue to derail this thread by supporting fraudsters, being sociopaths etc. you know yourself, best if you stayed away and best to get a life because they dont have a motive and also have nothing to offer.

let me also ask: Can this coat be used on places like over-flows, 'Water-Tank on Decking' areas to make them impermeable to water?

Folks, this is the type of questions that attracted and retained me on Nairaland, including this thread. I am near completion of the floor/ architectural design of my build, with clarity about the functionality and flow of the the living space, floor-sense. My vision includes extant need for "solar power" and split unit A/C, waste disposal, etc, in a manner that considers traditional and new materials and implementation approaches. Specifically, with traditional roofs, I resented (1) the limited " true South" section of roof that is optimal for solar panels, (2). drilling through expensive roof work/tiles to mount Solar panels that are leak risky and aesthetically no-no! We, also, did not want multiplicity of split unit A/C outdoor units hanging on exterior walls or tethered to ground. Hence, we decided on a "concrete flat roof/terrace for an expanse that can optimize the # and average daily sun exposure of panels that can be discreetly Installed, alike AC compressors etc, out of view and wrinkles. Many family nays weeped rain about, "water leak", "heat" etc about this unconventional cement roof!,,,,,.

Meanwhile, the knowledge from this and other threads inspired us through iterations of plans that required "thinking out of the box" in evaluating challenges and discerning solutions, including many that are available in Nigeria and should be the greater focus of debate or embrace! In my journey thus far, I have had the privilege of discussions with our brother, Abdulwastecx, on Polystyrene (Polyindustries, Abuja) as structural and non structural alternatives to many norms. Axion Tuffcrete ( Canadian waterproof cement/concrete, etc) is available in Lagos. Biofil Toilet (and kitchen) Digester. https://www.nairaland.com/2138981/biofil-toilet-digester-alternative-septic is worthy of discussion and alike was mentioned in a newspaper article yesterday about the toilet waste system breach in Enugu.

In other words, our home will have a flat polystyrene slab concrete roof/terrace. Polystyrene slabs will server as cost/heat insulator. Our solar and AC will discreetly stay out of view. The roof slab will be imbued with the waterproof and insulation properties, while granting ample day and night recreational space for my family. Requisite Imagination and collaboration would not have happened if I had come amidst this thread in current ceaseless and overwhelming focus on the agreed ABSOLUTE wrongs of Brabus, and necessary restitution. Yet, his known victims must not, exuberantly deflect the wrath brewed in their support. Nairaland, at my age and view is a great find --- to enable me build a home of my desire and means, my personal dream home. I wil break ground soon, God willing life. Interim, many of the reputable builders may find that I have been following them, alike my folks building from diaspora. From the Spyd-guru (e.g.) to Egun-Americana (compliment), I have studiously followed! That is the initial legacy of this thread that must continue; folks abroad can gain/ regain the dare to build at home.
8 months only, I know I "senior" any newbie that drifts here to discern from general discussions on building. I just wish that they would see the latest pages (where most go) in more staying lights. As said, essence of this thread transcends views on any matter tabled under it. Those who can chew gum and walk ( not mutually exclusive) can help me consider pro-con: polystyrene. Biofil-waste, Waterproof concrete, flat concrete vs conventional roof etc. Let us consider too, whether there is a better water proofing solution than the one suggested on the message I quoted. If public concrete water tanks can be waterproof, why surface-proof?

Very Nice, but please do sahre pics if you would so we can also pick one or two things from there, we are all learning still.You build might just inspire someone else.

Good idea
@Juokorow, I think you have the ideas, one thing i would say is to be careful and not get too carried away. Think about maintenance and the Nigerian effect.

# Select your builder carefully in light of what you read here.
# Whoever you select, ensure that you are both clear on what your aims and objectives are.

Lastly, try not to assume in the Nigeria construction arena especially when building from the Diaspora, I have nearly finished my house (looking at paints now) and I took it on from the first floor decking, so I know what i am saying. A friend of mine usually says that with construction in Nigeria, look at it like you are asking them to build a car, you have got to tell them that the car needs 4 tyres, windows, a steering, engine, controls, electrics etc. you may laugh, but take this advice and keep it in your tight fist.

@ Danowena @mavverick @ Topsy Thanks a lot for your input.
Appreciate

You are welcome sir.

Speaking of external wall cladding. I walked into this GTB branch sometime ago and the aesthetics of the external wall finish was quite striking , even from a distance.
At less than 30 yards range i still couldn't tell for sure if it was Aluminium cladding or some other material. I had to get really close.

I believe such nice patterns can be combined with regular brick walls in a creative way to produce beautiful and durable external finishes. Aluminium cladding isn't fur just commercial buildings afterall

A wide range of distinct and specialized roles have been lumped together here.
On smaller projects - the distinction between the roles become fuzzy and overlap. But on Mega-Projects running into hundreds of millions of dollars or billions- they are distinct and separate. You could even have 4 or 5 Cost Analysts working on each project phase. I am talking multinationals with advanced and effective Project Mgt Office setup. An estimator usually comes in after the project charter is drawn up, at the Initiation/Planning stage. He provides an estimate to the Project Manager based on what is known about the Project Scope. The estimate gets firmed up as the scope gets clearer. This gets locked down and becomes a Baseline Budget- against which progress and performance metrics is measured- EV, CPI, etc.

A project scheduler draws up a sequence of all activities to be carried out on a Project based on a Work Breakdown structure, and there are different levels of schedules depending on Project complexity. Project progress is also measured against the baseline schedule for metrics such as SPI etc.

A Cost Analyst carries out a continuous analysis of Project performance to see if it is under or overbudget. And he is more focused on historical costs.

A Project Controls Analyst takes it a step further by now projecting the Estimate at Completion. He looks at trends, scope changes, and highlights to the PM if there's going to be an overrun or a delay. There's a big element of forecasting and look-aheads in his role. What Project Sponsors detest is halting the project because of cost overruns. If there's a slippage - they need to know in advance so they can get the funding in place or look for ways of mitigating it.

Quantity surveyors do not manage project costs. At Project completion - lessons learned/lookbacks are conducted and the Estimator/Qty Surveyor will get the chance to see how accurate he was. He can also now use the completed project as a benchmark for future similar projects.

I don't know the Project Mgt methodology being used in naija though....On smaller projects the roles overlap.

Please share your experiences on solar installation. I am exploring this option. Contacts will be useful.

Where/What is your specific area of interest?

There is a dedicated thread on Solar installation with a good volume of information in the above areas.

See it here: https://www.nairaland.com/390522/solar-energy-complement-fta

Bottom line: If you are willing to invest a tidy sum into it (the BATTERIES are damn expensive, will 'die' prematurely if overdrawn and it is the most critical, in any installation), you wont regret it and its bye-bye to PHCN.
It is a worthwhile option.

I saw a building that aluminum cladding was combined with tiles and Graffitex paint today beside the building I went to estimate paint quantity needed.
It looks cool so I decided to take some pictures of it to post since you mentioned it earlier.
Eventually though, the coating on aluminum claddings would fade. Even automobile and industrial ship coatings fade and needs to be re coated.

Thanks so much. I will look at it later. My bulbs are between 5-11 watts and my generator struggles to find enough even with the freezer and I hate the noise. Enough to power the fans and lights is fine for me.

If you really want to finish PHCN, you can buy very low Wattage RECHARGEABLE Fans.
Your Solar will recharge them during day time (and they will still work while re-charging) but wont use your battery's stored Power at night.
And even when their internal batteries are fully drawn, they will automatically fall-back on Power Stored in larger batteries by your Solar Panels

Averagely, l think, based on what your intended use, a 2KVA should take you throughout the whole night (A few fans and bulbs, but l think you should add a few hours of TV/DSTV to it) when your Solar setup will be discharging.

it is advisable to do a setup whose capacity is slightly higher than your requirements. That way, you wont draw your batteries to the point of 'danger' where if done repeatedly, the battery's life are shortened very quickly and they will fail within one year or thereabout.
The batteries are the most significant cost of the whole setup.

well nothing lasts forever, especially outdoors. same applies to paint, tiles etc.

I believe the value is the combination of aesthetic appeal, durability/weather resistance and low maintenance etc. some manufacturers give up to ten years guarantees against de-glossing and loss of colour fidelity.
Of course As with every other kind of material, it also depends on the quality you buy. I "think" coating with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as opposed to polyester paint provides longer lasting finish (i stand to be corrected).

@ pictures, That's a really nice combination by the way.

Is this economic waste really necessary? In the name of wetin?? Even if the land was wrongly acquired, a sensible leadership would give the unfortunate owner an opportunity to rightly procure the land.

You are right on one side of the coin.

On the other side, if it was your land that someone forcefully acquired and rushed a building on it thinking you cant do anything once he builds on it.
You took pains to go to court and finally, got a judgement that he should remove his building.
Would you ASK THE GOVERNMENT TO BE SENSIBLE AND GIVE THE UNFORTUNATE OWNER TO RIGHTLY PROCURE IT?

I am just asking o.

Greetings sir, I think the parties can come to some agreement. Perhaps covering land, legal fees and some compensation to enable the land owner procure land in a choice area at a reasonable amount.
I don't think any reasonable person with sense of empathy would allow such building to be destroyed even though the owner of the building may be at fault.
