Someone posted here sometime ago that he could supply wood directly from outside Lagos at very good rate, i think he mentioned from Ijebu or so.

Please reply or quote me if you're the one and i'll fish out the post.

We need quite a bit of wood and may consider that option if price works out better than Oko-baba or other Lagos markets.

Thanks

Presently
Soft wood 1x12x12(Sawmill@N1300-1500each)
Soft wood fadala 1x10x10 @N1100-1200each

Prof and the experienced in the house. What can I do to avoid water leaking from my bathrooms on the ist floor to the ground floor. It is duplex and we have started tiling but someone said the bathroom may be leaking if I don't protect it now before it is tiled. He said no matter how good the tiler is, it will still leak. Pls I need advice. Thanks.

I would suggest..

1. Running your plumbing before tiling. This because during the deck stage, some pipes may be broken and tracing it will be alot harder after Tiling.

2. Buy a water sealant, or tell your tiler to buy it, and let then mix it lavishly with the cement used for bathroom tiles.

Good morning professionals and Ramadan Kareem too to all Muslims in the house...
Am much grateful for your contribution towards towards successful completion of my site to roofing stage, am glad I all have a beautiful virtual brothers and sisters here in the house,thanks so much.

Now, am about to roof and ceil my simple "A unit 3 bedroom flat and 2 units room and parlour self contained"... The quotation given to me by the carpenter is really much, right from materials down to workmanship(Grand Total =#1,749,000) ... Please I Need your utmost advice and assistance.

And more so, what's the experience from getting the planks through those timber cutters operator, rather than getting it at sawmill?

You are spending over 600,000 for slate. Why not just use 0.45mm aluminium Might even be the same cost or just a little bit more.

Is your project in the east? Cos 1x12 facial cannot be 2500 o.. Max is 1700 to 1800.

Is there a way to tell the difference between Tower, Nigalex and EBM aluminum profile for casement windows??

Are there signs or anything to tell them apart?

damoche64:
How much likely to finish this building (carcass)? I guess is 2bed 4 flats.

So far we've spent about ₦13m and as at type, we're just to commence decking of the ground floor.

Piling ₦4m
Pile cap and ground beam ₦2m
Ground Slab ₦3m
Setting of blocks, columns and decking ₦4m

Another ₦10m is required to finish and move in

The quality of Nigalex and EBM will tell them apart.
But for Towers, many imported come real close that they can interchange and pose as Tower. I hope there such a sign on them to for identification, but I haven't seen any.

And doing pressure test is a good idea after plumbing, even before plastering. That can tell you if you have a leakage.

How many bags of cement can deck the two rooms?

The area marked x is not included.

Wow! That is nice sir...
God bless you

Find attached a site plan of semi Detached 4 Bedroom Duplex on a plot smaller than Lagos plot size of 60/120fit.

This one is on 50/100fit - 450Sqm. Mostly found in other cities in Nigeria with Abuja inclusive.

So if you need a detailed design. We can do that for you. That's the layout. Here. We partner with property developers too who want a prototype that is unique and significant to only them.

Alrt, thanks for the analysis

megacontrol:
The post said 3 duplexes (not 4 like you mentioned).

And that is not unusual these days i must say - 1 fully detached in front and 2 semi detached behind - as shown in the initial layout illustration.

Whats left is then minor details for implementation. but yes, very possible and commonplace in lekki.

Alrt sir, I think I misunderstand you, I don't know its 3 duplex.

Dennis3D:


I would drop a site plan layout of it by tomorrow here... I don't do 4 duplex on a plot. I do 3 Duplex... Again here is the site plan. And it's OK a plot of 60/120fit

Weldon's sir, I saw on your signature that you make block on site. Someone in this forum need your help on how many block can be made from one bag of cement...pls help

omanzo02:
The decking was being done when it rained last night, and the washed sand spots appears, my engineer is assuring me it has no implications on the work nor the decking structure but I am a bit sceptical. Is that true?

if the concrete has been set a little before the rain, and moreso if the concrete mix is Rich there may not be any problem. But I will advise you do the integrity test on the concrete after.maturity for the sake of your peace of mind.

Oga Hajji M, I say afraid catch me to see those figures just for foundation. There is nothing like a good quality land. Location is key but the quality of the land count for much as well.

Its scary reading that prices are on the rise again.

I also need lots of wood for a job soon.

So is there anyone here that can provide current prices for various wood sizes?

Okay, there have been a few people in the last one week who have stated they need wood for deckings and the price is visibly high.
My suggestion is: why cant you guys band together and contribute money to buy enough wood and then use it, one after the other?

Lets say each persons need of wood will cost 500K.
Contribute #250K each (totalling 750K) and buy EXCESS WOOD of 600K. Keep #150K as "Float" Money, to be returned if there is no use for it
You can even decide to buy Marine Plywood, instead of 1 x 12 Planks

Mr A will start and use with minimal damage but whatever is not useable after his use, will be replenished with the excess from the #100K.
Then the Woods are removed and Mr. B uses it and the process is repeated? If there is need to buy more wood, the FLOAT money will be used to buy it.
Finally, Mr. C will also go through the same process.
If Money is left, you all share it equally.
At the end of the day, all of you have achieved your desires and saved #250K each, minimum.
It can be done if everyone is honest and not greedy, not selfish.

Its just an idea that l think may work.
