I just did one recently. It doesn't have any effect on POP If it's done well. POP doesn't carry ceiling fan. Only the fan hook on decking or on wall pate or roof beam does.

See picture below. Did this on a 25yr old building recently just two weeks ago. See my thread for full project pictures...


Thanks Oga,
We were made to believe POP and ceiling fan don't go together. Is this type of fan I plan to install , will be hooked up to the roof beam.

Sir, how much is the fan and where to buy it.

On interlock, here are important things to note:

For 6cm thick mold only

36 pcs of stones make 1 sqm using Double T
36 pcs of stones make 1 sqm using Zenith shape
50 pcs of stones make 1 sqm using “I”

30 tons of Stone Dust will produce 280 sqm of 6cm thick stone

1 bag of cement will produce 3.5sqm of stone.

Good pigment to add colour is sold +/- N50,000 per bag.

Labour charges varies from 500 - 700 per sqm for casting and laying. This depends on your bargaining power. Some people will even charge you more if they notice you have no idea.

Compactor rentage is between 10,000 - 15,000 per day. I have my compactor tho used for the project. https://www.facebook.com/199049746782483/posts/3778095355544553/?vh=e


Don’t mind the heavy guy posing on the job grin grin


In few hours, I’ll kickstart a fresh interlocking brick project. The total area is 420sqm and the thickness is 8cm.

Tag along as I show you how to manage your interlocking brick flooring project and also reveal some of the less-known things related to such a big project.

It’s all pretty easy when you understand how to simplify everything in your project and save big but as a newbie that leaves you with plenty of details to figure out.

#WhenTheoryMeetsPractice

Target Audience: those who want to live large yet save big on their project grin
Those who believe life must be unbearable for every owner-builder and those who have a problem for every solution should just ignore my posts, abeg!

What are you guys talking about. Beauty is in the eye if the beholder. I quite like those base protruding pillars. Have you imagined that a rat could hide under it away from scorching concrete sun while taking a view of the compound for its next escapade?? Again the edges are smooth and appears uniform. It didn't spoil the aesthetic of the 200m build in my opinion.

It really didn’t spoil the aesthetics. It just brought mixed feelings and made the build a subject of attention.

The beholder in this case are the guests/visitors/patrons (online and offline) and not the owner.
That’s one part most people don’t get right in commercial builds. It’s not always about what you want but what your customers want.

Hello guys... Please I'm currently working on a 3 bedroom apartment, at the lintel stage but I was given a cost estimate of about 500k for just lintel alone, the thing shock me enter bone, please can any one help me with a reduced version let me do some comparisons please.. Thank u so much

Yes you can spend up to that especially if you're buying granite. But if you want to reduce cost, you can buy all the "bottoms" and half the boards so they cast twice.

Or you rent wood from a carpentar.

Modified: for context, the two pictures below are both 3 bedroom flats. We all know their lintel costs cannot be the same.

This type of deck is not that common... I want to know if it’s more expensive to do or the technical how?

Saw it at a client site

Think I posted something like this about 3 years ago. It's not really about saving cost although its cheaper than just pumping with ful concrete.. They are used to reduce overall slab weight.

Also used in stadium construction and others..

She said i lied of my post am proving it, b4 the "we" start to castigate.
All the supplier in the house are silent, there is reason why they are. I am not the best... But my service beat the best of others, it not me is God, Wherever i dlay or disappoint supplies, i am in sever pain.

... everybody get stronghold, mine is in my quantity. I say it. Value for your money.

I offer bonus to order, which supplier does it, its my patronage with Chinese that makes it happen. There is price & effort you make to get such offer from Chinese.

Sure...the saying that you don't just change a winning team hold some truth....if someone does a good job and I am satisfied I see no reason not to keep him for the same job or something similar next time..... it's not just about saving cost but results.....the carpenter and iron bender that did my decking were so good at their job I see no reason to look elsewhere, despite not being physically present they brought my expectations to reality.
