Good day All
It’s a pity that this section of Nairaland (property section) is not as its before why?
We are missing some guru here range from
Architects
Builders
Engr’s
QSs
Clients
Suppliers
Etc
Which there wealth of experience in build industry make this section one of the best on Nairaland

Actually I know what make some of them keep quiet this day is just because some are label names which is not that so aspected by them and many more like that.

What we do we see this days mostly is non professional advise which in turn do give some home base bad names bcs for example some who has not visited site ones in his life or know anything about building will be give building quote to non home base person and later a professional give advise or quote the next thing we will see is that the quote is TOO HIGH,
so many thing like that pls is too annoying why because some of you guru has ran away from here.

If all ran away who will make the this section great again pls that is why I will mention some names here to pls come back again and let’s rebuild this Nairaland as a whole

As I said it’s not compulsory to screed the pop, but to give good smother look, ask your pop man or painter to screed and sand paper it.

To your neighbor that paint directly without screed didn’t commit any crime for doing so

But agree with me that we have good , better, and best in everything this also applicable to finishing.

Thanks alot

Good morning house... Pls some clarification pls.

1. Tiling and screeding which comes first.
2. Is it compulsory to screed pop, some say it can be painted, am surprised to hear that.

Pls advise

My Brother I will advise u tile first before screeding, it's only if you are willing to touch up the screeding again after tiling because the tilers will mess up the bottom part of the screeded wall with their bed and raw cement water, the tiles and tools scratching the walls and as well with their hands on the wall.

But if you tile first, while screeding they just have to carefully clean up the tiles immediately after screeding, screeding is fast and swift and more like "pre-painting".

As for screeding of POP, I think it's advisable to do it together. while hanging the individual POP cast boards, they use screed to join it, I normally tell them to screed the entire POP and not just the joint. It's just to buy few buckets of emulsion for them. A bucket should do 3 Rooms or more.

Architectural design varies depending on the Firm and also the location... What's the size of the plot.. 50 X 100ft or 60 X 120ft ...Do you mean 10 units of 1 room self-contain and 10 units of 1 room and parlour self contain?
Either ways,.. Orientation matters.. Check my signature.
60 x 120ft, 10 units of 1 room self contain and 1 unit of 1 room and parlour self contain at the back in form of BQ

The OP is talking about 5BEDROOMS DUPLEX from scratch to finishing stage.

@ OP ..Based on experience don’t start what you can’t finish.
13million can’t give you such building.
Listen to professionals advise and get full details of the work before you start so that you will know what you are working towards.

What do you mean by from scratch to finish.............

2) Are you referring to carcass(foundation to roof installation) + wiring+plastering/rendering+screeding?

Your location matters and abiding by building regulations for setbacks.
Minimum setbacks at the sides should give you about 7-8.

The guest toilet window is not looking good in the position it was placed. The Architect should make the window to face sideway. A little protrusion of the toilet wall will take care of that.

Regarding the long hallway. The Architect should find a way to reduce that. The position of the laundry is not okay. Laundry is usually positioned after the Kitchen. It 's usually adjacent to the kitchen varandah/sit-out.

The bedroom after the guest room can be switched for the kitchen. With that, the lobby space reduces i.e. There'll be no wall (that will create a demarcation) between the kitchen and dining.... There will still be space to get through to the lobby, just that the space will be opened and it will allow for more light into that space.

Then the other bedrooms will be repositioned back. That laundry can serve as the walk-in closet.

i dont know how you intend to do it, N13m can never finish a 5bedroom duplex.
if N10 - N13m is what the carcass of a lowcost 5bedroom duplex should cost.Then how do you intend to finish your duplex.
