Guys any advice? I am about to do some internal wall screeding. The floor tiles for the rooms where the wall screeding to be done is not yet laid. The tiler is suggesting completing the floor tiles before the wall screeding is done. Can you guys share your experience with tiling and screeding? In what order should this be done?

I have seen it done either way... but personally, I will have the POP and screeding done same time before the tiling to minimize the dirt and stain on the tiles. Even though the tiles can be cleaned later spic and span.

That is what I wanted to do but the tiler said it is easier to clean a dirty tile than get a screeded wall soil with sand and cement while tiling

Please I need help in estimating the cost of doing a decking on my site. I am already getting scared, I really would appreciate someone give me breakdown of cost. The attach is the drawing, I am not sure of interpreting the drawing but the size should be 11 by 12. Kindly help. Thanks in advance.

Ok. The tiler also has a point there. Let's see how the experts handle this. I hope more people chime in.

I think its better to do pop first and also the screeding, when they are tiling they use a lot of sharp sand to get the level of the floor, so any splashes on the floor will be covered with sharp sand anyway. What i also found is that pop will cause splashes on the wall also, my painter said I should not worry, that he will scrap it all away.

On the other hand, it also depends on the workers, I decided to do screeding later on, and tiles were already on the floor. The guy cleaned very well after each days work, you wouldn't even know.

my order was

ceiling pop
tiling
screeding last

I came to same conclusion a few weeks ago after thinking deeply about it. I agree with your tiler. Trying to get splashed cement off a screeded wall could spoil a neatly done screeding work.

it can be done either ways but its better to lay tiles first to get the actual level of the room to avoid stain on the wall and to reduce the excess material that will be used for the lower part that is going to be covered by the screeding also to reduce the cost of labour because it is measured per square metre

No you can't. Plots of land in Lugbe go from N3 million upwards, not to talk of Apo. This excludes the cost of infrastructure due to the fact that the lands in those areas belong to estates & as such they require you to pay for infrastructure. I know because I have a project behind Trademoore estate, one of the popular estates in Lugbe.
You can get land within your budget in Kuje which is further down the Airport expressway, very close to the airport itself & the controversial Centenary City. The area is really coming up now.

Hello housemates,

please I've reached the crossroad of choosing colors for the finishing of my modest project.

I'm however undecided in making a choice especially with types of materials including cost borne out of the dollar/naira malaise.

Please what types of the following are trending in the industry and what colors?

1) Living room floor tiles/preferred color
2) Kitchen floor tiles
3) Kitchen counter-top
4) Living room wall paint type/color
5) Kitchen wall paint/color
6) Bedroom floor tiles
7) Bedroom wall paint type/color


You can assist with other important information that can make my project a very pretty sight to behold.
Note that:-
(a) the building is a four bedroom apartment
(b) All rooms are en-suit
(c) All bedrooms,living-room, kitchen and toilets have POP ceiling.

Looking forward to your kind and expert inputs and advise.

[b]Sir, let me give you a very helpful hint. This has worked for me too; I used it prior to moving into the place where I presently reside.

Go to www.google.com; for each of the living spaces you listed above, type in the google search browser; for example - "living room floor & wall colour combination" OR "living room floor tile colour combination" OR "living room wall paint colour combination". After the results have come up, click on "Images" icon, its on the top left hand corner of the google page - it will show tons and tons of pictures showing colour combinations for your living room. From this you can make your decision, having the pictorial view of what the final output would be.

Repeat the same process for kitchen, bedroom and other spaces you may need.

I and my wife actually used this method to choose the colour combination for our living room and bedrooms and then called in a professional painter who helped us pick the relevant and available shades of the colours that would go with our combinations and thereafter, did the painting work.

This is the system I shall use forthwith on all projects, personal and for clients.

I believe this should work for you also. [/b]
