Last year, if you spent $1k you could only get 100 bags of cement, but today the same amount would get you 200 bags.

Nigeria economics is beyond comprehension

Yes, it would reduce your cost, but you still have to buy normal black cement for external screeding, As Pop cement isn't suitable for external screeding.

Why don't we screed the entire house (internal and external) with 'normal black cement?' Isn't it cheaper and more durable than screeding with POP cement? What are the pros of screeding internal walls with POP cement rather than with black cement? Thanks!

Rightly Said✓ Actually it is! The only pros is that it has a finer finishing (Aesthetically).. Client preference (A client of mine, rejected Black cement Screeding for his internal Space.) cheesy

Meaning it is more complex with pop cement?
with POP cement, its more hard to carve out those complex shapes and even when they do, it’s not usually neat or accurate unless you meet a workman that is patient enough to get it done and they don’t usually come cheap. I have used plasterboard for various projects and it always come out nice, neat, equal and straight

Hello house, I have a quarter plot I will like to develop.
Low budget one/two bedroom bungalow
Raft foundation
Flat roofing with longspan aluminum
Room and parlour (10 by 12 feet)
Kitchen and bathroom smaller maybe 5by5 feet
PVC ceiling no POP
Standard Tiles
Sliding windows
2 toilets (visitor and room)
Standard finishing hence the low budget

Given the current costs, like how much should I budget? Will a budget of 5m work out for one bedroom? Thanks

I can give you a cost breakdown if you want . But what makes you think Raft Foundation will work for your structure. Raft will chop your budget. You need to understand your site soil profile before you decide on type of foundation

Reeefe:

Here

Rany4all:
The biodigester soakaway is a much smaller entity than the regular soakaway, so the artisans claim it is cheaper and requires less space. They put certain products containing microorganisms and enzymes inside the biodigester soakaway, which are meant to breakdown faeces into gas that is then released into the atmosphere through vents.

Now the catch, which the artisans will not readily tell you upfront until after you're fully committed, is that the biodigester soakaway is only meant for your toilets. It is too small to take on waste water from baths, kitchen, washing machine or wash hand basins, and also the soap used in these places will deactivate the microorganisms and/or enzymes, so you still have to do a separate soakaway for your waste water, which may actually nullify the claim that it is "cheaper" or requires "less space".

And again, just as soap can deactivate the microorganisms, your regular toilet cleaning agents can also do the same, so you have to buy special cleaning agents meant for use with biodigester soakaways and these cleaning agents are not just readily available on your supermarket shelves.

Not quite. If you were able to save $1k a month before, the current inflation would take at least half of it.

650 - 700 should do it...


bolu1986:
budget 700 or 750 it depends...and since you still have cement left that will reduce the price to almost halvr

Thanks very much guys, I appreciate. That means my person is overcharging me. And he's aware of the remaining bags of POP Cement. If he doesn't adjust it I'll contact one of you guys once he's done with POP.
