= #28,900

______

Total required for 100m² Floor = 100m² / 3m² (floor)

The price is very good but when the product get to the mkt the price will still be something around 2000 plus or so.

I agree bro.

In the area of there calculations this can only work in a sane country,
Here in Nigeria, practically it can’t work and you will still need normal OPC cement to make your level as I explained earlier.

I know there’s always a problem for every solutions in Nigeria . We hardly do tile over tiles here which is easier and cheaper solution than pulling up your original tiles and re-tiling your floor or wall.


Practically its not cheaper to use compare to normal cement.

Using adhesives will be far cheaper in the long run if you consider the time saved during installation and the lesser mess you had to deal with during and after installations.

I agree OPC cement is needed in scenarios where the intended surface is uneven but that’s a problem for concreters and really should not be a part of tiling. In some cases, you can use a sander to level out the surface.

My response in blue.

I also believe back buttering the tiles with varying amount of mortar is a good way to achieve level in uneven surfaces. Though you need a spirit level and a good eye.

Very valid points made here especially on casting tremie. You forgot to mention Akoka, Ifako and it’s environ.

SakoBkup:


Cement is 3200 in mile 3 market

rotecch77:


Ok let’s use 100m2 of both wall and floor tiles as case study.


WALL TILING
Using of normal OPC cement for the job
Let’s assumed your wall is in a well level gauge.

No of cement(50kg) 20bag*3000=60,000
Plaster sand 2.5 tones —————-10,000
Total ——————N70,000.

FLOOR TILING
Assumed the floor is well balance
No of cement (50kg)40*3000=120,000
Sharp sand 20 tones ————-50,000
Total —————-N170,000


In summary
If it’s Wall tiling it will cost you some of N70,000( to cover 100m2 area.

If it’s floor tiling it floor tiling it will cost you some of N170,000 to cover 100m2

You can get 30 tonnes to 35 tonnes in Port Harcourt at rate of 10k per tonnes.
Someone might need this information someday. Some pic attached.

JustCryptos:


Bought 4k at Igwruta last week. I am putting plastering on hold until things settle down a bit. Difference of 50k is something for a kobo kobo project.

Hello dear people of Nairaland! Please I want to make an enquiry about my project I am undergoing in Benin city from those of us who are good in engineering and site work.

I have a 3 bedroom and a two room self contain flat which is already on a DPC level and I done the forming after the filling with just one coach. I want to give the project to an engineer to finish the job just go paraphet level I.e he will be the one to do the paraphet.

The engineer is charging 2million Naira for just the labor. I will be the one to buy all the materials needed; all the cement, block, rod, wood etc. 2M is just for labor alone.

Please is this fair enough ? Is the price too high?

Please I need your urgent help.

Beframia:

Bros, that your engr's charge is too exorbitant. Look around your area, identify any building you feel was/is well built, approach the owner to link you with whoever supervised the project and negotiate with him. Better still, we have reputable professionals on this forum that can handle it at a pocket-friendly rate.
Wish you the best.

bixton:



Are you referring to engineering-supervision for the works?
I could do for less amount. You can reach me on 09027779642(WhatsApp)/ 08039387432(phone call).

Na wa o.

Here in Ilorin granite of 5 tonnes from quarry is sold at 20k, while transport is negotiated to site and the max one may pay is between 6k and 7k. Why is it expensive in other places as stated on this thread.

God help us

sam1919:
Yes! Engineering supervision for the work. If you have your boys who work for you, you can bring them to work while you supervise them, put things in place and make sure things are going well, while I pay them their normal fee at the end of the day. While I pay you daily for your service too.

segzy14:


Though the 2M is too much for such building,but the engineer charged 2M for his fee and the labour works, not for supervision alone.

Jasobry:


This is damn expensive... Its 2000 for stone dust.. most expensive size is 5700 in Ebonyi state
