Concrete parapet are more expensive compare to Precast Parapet

When you choose concrete parapet, consider the following.

You will buy woods for the framing of your design, and you will also pay the carpenters that will do the job.

You will buy iron rod for the work and you will also pay the welder that will do the work

You will buy granite and sharp sand and cement for the casting and you pay the masons that will do the work.

Materials you need for the concrete parapet.
Woods
Nails
Iron rods
Binding Wire
Granite
Sharp Sand
Cement

But for precast parapet
All you need to buy is few granite for beam, few sharp sand for the moulding, cement and workmanship, meaning you are providing Materials.

But if you don't want to provide materials, we also charge you per meter and the work is done, we would provide materials.

You spend less on precast parapet and more on concrete parapet

Concrete parapet is forever attach to your building.

It is only binding wire that is holding precast parapet, the binding will rust and weak in the next thirty years, it will fall.

Finally, u can choose any designs you want in both concrete and precast Parapet.

Thanks, hope you enjoy the Narrative.

The work of pillar is different from German floor because the German floor is the one carrying the blocks

Nowar:
hmmm.
Wow thank you very much for this , tbh , In this regards I don’t really have problem with the cost atall , but due to the German floor wey I no do, which do you suggest I go for out of the two

hslbroker2:
if it is must for you to use parapet, then it is better for you to use precast parapet, the weight is lesser compare to concrete parapet and more cheaper

Nowar:



Noted .. I appreciate more than you think . Thanks so much ..

Rany4all:
What about packing space Sir? I think the unbuilt space could also play a role in the type of structure that should be built. Another factor to consider would also be the types of structures within the neighborhood.... multistory buildings may not be allowed in low density residential areas.

Hello every one .. so I’ve been a ghost reader of this great forum for years , i had to register immediately, I stumbled on this thread this very morning , reading posts from November 2021 and something caught my attention..

I’m building a three bedroom and the foundation is high , the back is 6 blocks high, why the front is I think 3 or. 4 sha. Una engineer go don understand me.. I was advised to support it with double wall since the foundation is high, I did and I supported it round with strong pillars( 10,pillars ) . But then I never knew the important of German floor o ( note I’m not cutting costs, I just don’t know about it) .. The building has reached roofing level and I want to use Gerard roofing with casting parapet .. i don budget 3m-3.5m for Gerard, woods, and parapet , nails , transport , workmanship .. I want make the house high well well ..

U can also put me through about the cost of the roofing pls ..
The house na 3 bedroom two sitting room, dining, store, laundr, kitchen ,store and it’s very long building ,
I plan roofing the house towards the end of the year or early next year by God’s grace ..

Now that the house don reach roofing level , can I still do German floor ? If not what else can I do ? Pls tell me the bitter true no sugarcoat for me o. Hope I won’t have problem in the future if I don’t do it, although the area is ok and solid , the foundation is solid too, I’ve done the filling with laterite.. and there’s no history of damp in the area. But I’m the kind of person that if I hear something and after effect my mind go just Dey there no matter what ..

Pls my people in this case what can I do ??
I didn’t use engineer. Na me be the mumu engineer and my bricklayer ( I know of three modern houses the guy built for my area and I’ve never heard say dem get issues na why I used the guy and he’s the one that built it from scratch to top)

I mould the blocks too but it was not enough , time no Dey so I had to buy to complete it ..

@ Michlins where are thou? This is closer to what I was talking about

michlins:
this is obtainable by at least 75% and that's because some materials aren't available in our local market

diordaves:


Lay a DPM and cast the German floor say 4 inches thick. Then don't do interlocking for the compound. Do stamp concrete instead or concrete the compound and bevel the floor away from the foundation so that water run off from your foundation. See pics. So long as the compound is dry (good water run off) during/after rain, you should be fine.

sonnie10:


I already know it is just for labor but is this price for both internal and external plastering?

GoodFaith:

Yes

sonnie10:


That is a very good price. Let say #300k for outside and another #300k for inside

sonnie10:


True. But don't let that limit your business.

With the right contact and collaboration, you can establish that connection with someone in china who would be standby to ship the parts to you for these kind of jobs.

Turn the limitations into opportunities.

GoodFaith:

Yes

I think I’m getting my wires crossed.

What is the other one called that’s a simpler system? It wasn’t this expensive.

toluyale:


Called Biofil

GloriousGbola:


This is not about the cost implication of a biodigester.

It is about questions none of the experts could give a satisfactory answer to

The methane generated is SUPPOSED to be used to generate electricity and for cooking.



That would however require additional /supplementary installations. Methane powered electronical plant or methane collection and storage for cooking.

In the case I am referencing, the installers had claimed that they did the biodigester for banks. They were offering us the biodigester for our facilities

This however begged the question - neither the banks nor my employer had any use for methane

So WHERE was the methane generated In the banks and other commercial clients going? Was it being discharged into the atmosphere? Was it being flared?

They could not give a clear answer. It should be noted that methane is highly flammable and poisonous in high concentrations.

We did not go through with the engagement because the 'biodigester experts' who incidentally I picked from a nairaland thread could not answer my questions. In fact the people who came had the same set of pictures of their installation that a different biodigester vendor who I was also checking out had.

Maybe you can give a more detailed answer than the biodigester will be used to generate electricity and for cooking because we know few if any end users have any use for

When the methane gas is generated from the source it will pass through some other treatment process before usage.
