Please I'm looking for a solution to water ingress in the walls of this property. I don't know the right way of going about correcting this problem. The plaster and paint is flaking off, could this be as a result of low-quality mortar being used? There is also an open flower bed around the building.
is the area waterlogged?

I got this quotation for four bedroom bungalow from my electrician:

First stage half conduit

5 boundel 20mm pipe 20000
1 boundel 25mm pipe 6000
2 pack u box 3000
20mm compler 1500
5 pack 3by3 iron box 7500
5 pack 3by6 iron box 7500
Male Bush 3000
Three phase d.b 60,000

Materias cost #108,500
Work manship 45,000
Total #153,500


Are the material prices okay?

The prices are not ok, break it down 👇

U mean 20,000 for 5 bundles? Or a bundle is 20,000? For the 20mm pipe, which brand?

The 25mm pipe price is outrageous, watch! kiss

U box per pack or per 2 packs is 3,000??

20mm coupler price is ok

The iron box prices, is it per pack or per 5 pack?

The distribution board??

Workmanship is ok but u can still negotiate small.

It's just an advice he's seeking for, not a command na. He might still decide to pay d money like that after all the advise.

The price of those pipes are too low. Not sure the electrician quoted for original pipe. Based on the amount for 5bundles of 20mm @ 20,000, it means a bundle 4,000naira.

No, not particularly. There's just an open flowerbed round the building that I'm suspecting to be the culprit.

Thanks so much. I thought there is something called boundel, that's why I didn't pay attention. It's now obvious that's his spelling of 'bundle'. Lots of other misspellings. I'm amazed.

I'm rewriting correctly below:

First stage half conduit:

5x bundle of 20mm pipe: 20,000
1x bundle of 25mm pipe: 6,000
2x pack of U Box: 3,000
1x 20mm coupler: 1,500
5 pack of 3by3 iron box: 7,500
5 pack of 3by6 iron box: 7,500
Male Bush: 3,000
Three phase d.b: 60,000

Material cost: 108,500
Workmanship: 45,000

Total: 153,500

By the way, this is Osun state (Osogbo precisely). I appreciate all the help.

So he is getting a bundle of 20mm pipes that contain 25 pieces for 4k? That’s strange

Evening the 25mm too?

I don’t have issues with the rest.

Exactly my point oo, how could that b? At least the cheapest nd not too bendable one should be like 8-10k per bundle

Now I can see ur quotation clearly, but this ur 20mm pipes price might not materialize because a bundle is 25pcs.

At least, if u r using not too good pipes, the 5 packs should be around 50-55k. That means u r using the 3rd grade pipes, because they of 3 grades.

Other materials are ok but that 25mm price is outrageous.

Workmanship is ok but u can still beg him to reduce small for u.

truth is there's nothing like a fair negotiation right now. The way the inflation is galloping eh.


That being said, tell him what you can afford to pay and bargain well with him while making sure he understands what you want him to deliver for you

Good morning Sir....please about the steel, I've spoken to him and he said he wants to use 2mm steel but there is one higher and it is only for duplex it's been used(it comes in pieces and they just weld them together) ... Please, is this okay? Can the 2mm steel carry over 4000L? Or is there another option?

The above is correct please don’t use 1.5mm for sockets

With my little knowledge

I appreciate your feedback as always.

I might just settle for one or two socket for kids rooms (with 2.5mm). And as you rightly guessed, the house is rarely used. Once or twice a year.
That is the major challenge. Not over spending but still buy quality.

Also, thanks for the info on LED lights not needing earthing. I will hold on tightly to that.

topsy23:


Using 1.5mm for socket not really advisable BUT if the number of socket on that circuit is not more than 3 or max is 4nos. Remember most of this sockets are redundant for weeks without using them. Also, make sure no heating appliance is plugged to them . The permissible current for the 1.5mm cable is 23A..

The 1mm is for Traveller (for 2-way switching). Most of the LED light has no earth terminal
