Good evening fam, I have been a member of this family and I am a silent reader due to work. Please my little project is at tiling level and I have a quotation from the tiler. I will like a thorough vetting of the quotation for me please and also the type of tiles for each section of the house to bring out the best out of the project and at the same time pocket friendly. If you sell tiles at reasonable price also leave your contact so we can do business. Thank you

Dont worry, you will understand, just say what you dont understand and we would try to explain in details for you, that is the aim of this thread: INFORMATION SHARING.

Let me take the Water issue:
- Borehole is on ground level, Tank is somewhere on a Scaffold (or inside a platform in the building, hidden from sight) at the level of first or second storey.
- The Upper flats (and all flats in some cases), take their water form the Tank located on the Scaffold, at a height higher than the Building or the highest Tap point, in the building. WHY?
- WHY? When the tank is placed at a very high point, relative to the point of Tap in the Building's upper floor, it can use GRAVITY (force which acts downwards) to provide the needed Pressure to drive the water into their taps.
- Pressure generally, is proportional to Height above ground. If you want more pressure in your taps, raise your tank higher.

So, how does the Water get from the ground (or Borehole) to the Tank placed at a height (say above the second floor for a single storey House) and does not flood the location or overflow?
- There is an Electrical SUBMERSIBLE Water Pump, placed inside the Borehole, deep under the ground or on a tank at ground level.
This Pump is the one that pushes the Water from the ground level/Borehole, Up into the Tank, placed Up there above ground.

- To prevent the Water from overflowing when full and messing up things, an AUTOMATIC FLOATING SWITCH is placed inside the Tank.
Its job is to monitor the level of Water in the tank.
- It is wired such that when the Water reaches a certain "Upper level" in the tank, it will cut-off Power to the Sumbersible Pump inside the Borehole in the ground. This prevents the water from overflowing and running off from the tank.
- But when the Water level gets low to a set-level, it will also AUTOMATICALLY switch-on the Electricity to the Submersible Pump, so that it starts pumping water into the tanks again.
- So, by cutting-off and Swutching on power to the Submersible pump, the AUTOMATIC FLOATING SWITCH can regulate the level of water int he tank and prevent overflowing while ensuring that there is always enough water in the tank, for use (as long as there is Power supply).

-That Automatic Floating Swith costs between #2,500 and #6,000 but l can assure you that there is almost no observable difference betwene the cheaper one, and the very expensive one. I stopped buying the expensive ones and the cheaper has lasted years now and still working!
I hope you under stand that aspect now?

As for Reverse Osmosis, it is just a fancy name for a subject (Osmosis) we did in Secondary School.
- Osmosis is simply the movement of Water, from area of Low Concentration to areas of High Concentration, through a Semi-Permable membrane (like a Cloth, sort of). It is an "equalisation of concentration process" across a separarting membrane.
- Reverse Osmosis, means the Reverse of the above, the liquid moves from the area of High Concentration to area of Low Concentration, though a membrane, under applied presuure.
Let me provide a link for you, so you can get detailed reading on it, instead of me writing everything here (Some dont need such detailed explanation).

What it does is basically to help you remove impurities from water, so that you can have a good, clean water to drink on the other side, when your source is from not very pure sources like a Borehole.

List of pioneer members they gave all the information everyone enjoyed in this property section. They disseminate info to build but wicked people use the info without consulting them. there's God ooo. #theyhavefamilies.

QSFemi:
The answer you seek depends on a number of factors in order to get an approximate estimate of the construction cost. Chief among them is location of the project, types of finishes (ranging from types of tiling, roofing, painting, screeding, POP ceiling finishes, electrical installation to plumbing installations etc), nature of the soil and its bearing capacity and many other reasons.

In order to get an approximate estimate for the proposed building, I will advise you to provide some of the aforementioned details.

Regards.

I am disappointed by this your comment. Why are you trying to cast aspersion on the list? You can add to it instead of that.
The list is that of COMPETENT BUILDERS that l know, who have proved themselves in their work, over the years. and it is not every Pioneer member that is on that list, so it is not about being a Pioneer member.

I respect these listed people because they showed competency in their work, dealt with others in honesty, gave good information and help when others needed it, not because they expect something in return, but out of the goodness of their heart. And they were rewarded handsomely, thorugh contract projects, for it.

As a person, (and l am sure many, many other people who have built one or two houses in the last five years when this thread started), have benefitted from the sharing of knowledge between forum members, it was mostly a symbiotic relationship.

Good People like Hajj, EgunMogaji, Madam GabbyTabby, Erico, FastShipping, Peaceland, etc all contributed Knowledge/Ideas, while also gaining Knowledge/Ideas. We gained from each other because we were not dishonest, not Greedy and not selfish.

And looking at it, l am sure non of them is HUNGRY or begging for Jobs or think everyone is WICKED either, as a matter of fact, these Competent Engineers/Builders/Suppliers got so much referrals that they sometimes will reject a job because there hands are full.

Look at Spyder, will you say he was or is Hungry? Was he ever short of jobs at anytime? Did he think we are WICKED for seeking knwledge from him?
I am aware that many of them have built their own houses, from the little-little they make, when we give them job, the only difference is that they were competent, resonable with charges, honest and hide nothing from anyone.
Sharing Knowledge/Information does not prevent you from getting jobs, it actually builds trust with your Customers and they can refer even more jobs to you, due to the level of trust.
