Good day sir,

I have a building which I intend to roof soonest. Its dimension is 64ft by 45ft. What's the likely quantity of long span roofing sheets I'm likely to use (in sq metres)? I need expert opinion to avoid been ripped off

Thanks.
you can only get accurate measurement when the physical wooden roof carcass is done, apart from that any measurement you are getting now will be plus or minus 10% or 15%, but you can have an ideal what you should be budgeting, thanks

Good morning professionals
I'm really worried and need an advice.

The pictures attached are the chambers for my house. I got worried because the pipes for water and feaces are in the same chamber.
I called my plumber to inform him and he said that it's the way it's done.
I feel its not safe to do so. It's like running the water pipe through feaces with the fear of contamination.
Now it will be difficult for mortar to cover them.
I need an advice from professional plumbers on how to go about this?
Is this how it should be done?
Is it safe to do so?

Nobody seems to be saying anything about this. Please I need criticisms

This is not too good, the odour will definitely find way back to the house through floor drain or through basin/sink. There should be a kind of demarcation if at one chamber is to used for soil and waste pipe.

Good point from you that is why it's good to engage professional for building and any others job.( you cant loose or go wrong if you engage professional or ask for advise from them before you do anything that requires there imputs)

Actually there are 2 ways to do this
1.double stack system
2. Single stack system.

Single stack system is what the guy is trying to do their but it requires professional handling with some" P" strap materials to be used for some of the bathroom appliances to trap the backflow of odour.

thank you for the response, he wants to charge 250k but i told him 180k was the last am going to pay, now am seeing that the 180k is even too much from what you have just mentioned. he gave me a quote for the rods, 100 pieces for 16mm rod, 290 pieces for 12mm rod and 70 pieces for 8mm rod, 3 rolls of binding wire and 250k workmanship.

Yeah, the plumber did same in my fathers building. The smell was later stopped using a form of chlorine (not exactly sure what it was) the plumbers bought it and poured in the septic tank. A year after, no smell detected.

Hello house, greetings to everyone.

I am planning to do both internal and external plastering of a 4-bedroom bungalow. The building has a sitting room with dinning, Masters bedroom with toilet/bathroom, 3 other bedrooms, kitchen, 2 toilets and one bathroom, a sit-out.

I want to have an idea of the financial implication.

Is there a way costing is done when it comes to plastering?

I would appreciate responses from the experts.

Got a Quotation of about 450K for plastering both interior and exterior for a 3bedroom ensuite..Bricklayer charges was 200K..The bricklayer was the one that did the building from foundation till Paraphet before roofing and co..so for a 4bedroom should not be more than 500 sha.I cant really say

Note..I did not employ the services of any contractor..I do it myself together with my Dad..

Good Morning Builders/Engineers in the house.

Please I need a close estimate of the cost of plastering the interior and exterior of a 4 bedroom bungalow (Sitting room, dining, masters bedroom, 3 other bedrooms with toilets, kitchen, study room and a sit-out) and a BQ (sitting room, single bedroom, kitchen and toilet).

Site is located around Atan, Ogun State.

Thank you.

Roughly 300-420k depending on the sizes of the rooms and other areas.

You definitely need a third party plumber and brick layer to see how you can re route the water pipes.

I think the plumber is trying to cut corners. This is the stock in trade with some dishonest tradesmen. They will quote for a full best practice cost and deliver half measure pocketing the difference.

Best practice inspection chamber should be one chamber per outlet. Separate chamber for toilet discharge, separate chamber for kitchen waste and of course water supply to the house. Ideally, these should not mix or share same chamber.
