Please guys, I want to do Parapet (Full Casting) without buying/using woods so as to cut cost. I heard there is an option of using Molly (shaped Metal) for the casting instead of wood. Is this true? Does it actually safe money?

I need contact of someone in Ibadan who can cast the Parapet using this method.

I'll appreciate helpful comments/response please. Thanks.

Which area in ibadan is it?

Hello , please this is the floor plan for an on going project..electrical guy gave me this list for just sorting out the pipes that wire would go through in the walls..we are about to do parapet..he gave his workmanship as 50k but we price to 40k..is he fair..
Ps..In his favour though, he is really good at his job.

Not necessarily Sir. Electrical piping can sometimes be done before roofing, especially if you want to avoid cracking concrete later on or if you plan on installing some sort of lights on your concrete fascia. I started my own piping just before casting lintel and my electrician preferred it that way because it made the work easier for him (no concrete cracking).

That being said, if you're going by this route then you may just put only the plastic pipes before the roofing and then add the knockout boxes, DB, and so on after roofing to avoid corrosion of metal parts from exposure to rain, especially if you're not roofing immediately.

See sample below!
If you zoom into that entrance porch in the 2nd picture, you'll notice a pipe that runs through lintel and roofing beam without any cracking whatsoever. Also note that the knockout box for the socket was not installed at the time.

I felt so too, but the electric guy said it would require more cracking and breaking of the parapet lintel..since we haven’t cast the parapet yet he said it’s best we install the piping inside the “parapet lintel”reinforcement woodwork and then cast around it.
We have already done normal lintel, and he said he would have to crack that which isn’t too nice and neat..so best we install pipes now before casting of parapet.

Is the electrician doing full or half conduit?

The quantity of pipe he quoted can't finish the work if he's doing full conduit

I really don’t know o, but he mentioned doing what’s important for now and once we roof we can finish up, so with that I think maybe it’s not full conduit..

Hmmmmm.. Plywood better than HDF? Wahala



sonnie10:
There are different qualities of MDF boards and also there are different qualities of HDF boards.
If you don’t buy from a reliable dealer, even plywood would be better than your HDF board.

Good morning sir, that means he's not doing lighting but installing DB carcass now is not advisable since there is no roof . Might get ruay because it's not weatherproof

Hello gurus on this educating thread, i want to seize this opportunity to thank you all for the well seasoned information I've gathered from here. We started our kobokobo project 2months ago and below are the pics of how far we have gone. It's a 5 room bungalow with penthouse as the current economy won't permit us own a duplex yet. �.
PS: the height of the foundation is 6coaches of blocks + the beam all round which makes it about 7coaches before German flooring. Please what is the pros and cons of this type of foundation. It's on a dry table and solid ground.
