Priming is basically a wall preparation before painting proper.
Priming could be in form of undercoat to prevent water affecting the wall, it could be in form a stabilizing solution to make a weak screeding or porous plaster more stronger and less absorbent.
Primer could be meant to make a dark wall brighter before painting or to form a thick film coat that can be lightly sandpapered in place of screeding for flat, sheen paint application.
Primer in most form is usually used for walls where matte, satin or silk is intended to be used.
Primer is not a one type product but different products meant for different purposes.

OK sir, if I am to screed my wall do I have to prime it before painting? Thank you.

Option A is always better. But client think they can save enough money by going for option B but in some cases it won’t happens….

Pay per sqm with materials in labor inclusive then go to sleep…
Go to sleep if artisans are trusted, in many cases they are not. You won't even sleep, when different stories will keep one awake. stories like water carry pop power away from truck, low quality materials, thickness scam unko, etc. This are the reason clint buy theirs materials, clients must just have to take the heat, we can't win either way. We just have to do whatever we have to do because we need the job done. Please don't take this persona oooo, is in general behavior ni ooo NOT you ooo, my brother.

There are different types and most look great only when applied by a professional.
From personal experience, a few tips:
You have to consider that it needs a lot of attention, for example oil stains might stick and never clean off. Matter of fact, any liquid and other stains must be wiped immediately and if you have toddlers, you might notice the damaged long after its done and then cleaning it off the surface will be nearly impossible.
Maintenance is also not cheaper than regular paints.

But some will pay per sqm and you'll still be quoting transport and logistic after charging per square mtr

Please note: Logistics cost for materials is already included in Pay per Sqm.

You can only pay transport fare (which is meant to transport the workers from farther location) if your workers are moving from : let's say ( Lagos to Abuja) (Delta to Kaduna) etc.

Hello great builders,

I have a plot of land sized 45x100

I will like to seek you guys advice on what kind of building is best on it having in mind that it is for rent.

Should I go for 2bedroom flats
Or single bedroom flats

Then how many flats can it contain successfully

It can even contain 3 bed. Just mention what you want and let's see if we can work it out.
