Please house, how much is aluminium Long span:

0.55
0.70

Single corrugation (normal)
And
Double corrugation (metra)

Finally, which of the 2 options above is good for flat/slant roof?

Thanks in advance.

Wanted to ignore this because it was posted 4 days ago.. but I saw a comment that told said you should go for Metral instead of Normal.

Normal corrugation is alot better than metral please. The corrugation Valley is deeper than metral.

When you go to Tower or First Aluminium, try to ask this question too.

0.55 Tower will work for a storey building. Higher than that, use 0.70mm.

Hello,

Please what is the difference between the regukar iron rods and TMT.

Noticed the price difference is about 15k..

Are they same as per length and specifications for the smae size.

Thanks in advance

It's majorly about the properties of both rods.

Not about melting and stuff..

Those properties are majorly about the "heat treatment" of iron.

Cool it too fast in the furnace, it becomes brittle with low yield stress..

Controlled cooling gives it better qualities.

You know young modulus graph right..?

@tsuccesssquare



So far a good job is done, this can be done in any season.



Considering your location (Bogije), I’d recommend you do any type of soakaway in the dry season. However, use this period to arrange all materials needed as price of materials are always lower in the rainy season



This is location dependent. For Bogije, I’d recommend cast and sink



I’ll share a link on this shortly.

Sir, don't forget me on this.

Many thanks

If you can’t do it after daily work then be expecting CUT PAY

Good evening all.
It's been a while here. Normally, I would have read to the last page I last visited before making a post but I guess today is an exemption. I've missed too many pages for me to back there.

Anyways, I am still here for your Quantity Surveying needs.

Quantity Surveyors are your indispensable professional cost, procurement, contract and project managers. Engage one today and you will be glad you did.

Synopsis of Quantity Surveyor roles;
1) Prepare estimated cost of construction from drawings or physical measurements. This is otherwise call Bill of Quantities.

2) Prepare resource scheduling. This means breakdown of quantity of materials and labour needed for work. This is a very useful document in ordering materials from market and negotiating labour cost.

3) Prepare valuation of ongoing construction works. This is a a very important area that clients should take advantage of. Contractors should be paid based on the value of work done on site. Valuation establishes this.

4) Administration of construction contract. I've said it before that construction is a contract either written or otherwise. In contract administration, issues like variation, retention money, defect liability period, fluctuations, honouring certificate of payment, practical completion etc are taken care of. Clients are enjoined to take advantage of this very important area in having a hitch free project delivery.

In the Nigerian building construction industry, there are conditions of contract clauses that could be inserted in Bill of Quantities before projects are awarded to contractors.

5) Remeasurement of work on site.

So many more interesting duties Quantity Surveyors can do for you.

Hire a QS today.

Have a pleasant night rest.

I recommended the paint to my client after sharing the pics of my painting done 10 years ago with him. It’s expensive but still as fresh as new even after 10 years.

@mountmoriah, the earlier we start exploring alternatives, the better for us.

We are just too rigid in this country. We’re stucked in our old ways.

WPC floor and wall panels. Priced at $1,000 for 200sqm

This would make more economical sense to me than wall rendering or laying paving stones in pool area. Ease of use is super. Just like fixing jigsaw puzzle. As per the engineering properties, I suggest you google WPC to read more. The price is more than friendly for such a neat and clean finished material.

This is just one out of the thousands alternative offerings.

In 2016, I shared this. It’s just shocking that those who are supposed to lead the change we yearn are the ones championing brick and mortar constructions up and down.

There are several other solutions out there to explore.

In one of my ongoing construction, I’m not using traditional roof.

Would you imagine this wasn’t a concrete column? grin

Carpenter didn’t work.
Iron bender no bend.
Casters didn’t cast nothing.
No plank was bought.
No binding wires.
No cement.
No granite stones.
No sand.
No plastering.
No pillar design.

Just light gauge steel framing, fibre cement backerboard and tiles. cool

That's the more reason why a professional cost manager should be engaged so as to help reduce the already high construction cost.
