@EGUNMOGAJI , NICE BUILD...
the projection of the first floor, how may feet is it/
it appears to be more than 2ft which i though was the generally accepted distance without going into extensive engineering/calculations

mufutau55:


Oga Spyder you are very good. As you know not long ago I plastered my .kobo-kobo project
It is a 7 bedrooms duplex but not with spacious bedrooms, but with two large livingrooms,
security house and a generator house. So with OP project it should be about same size.
With my normal bricklayer after haggling, I paid labor for 550k plus bonus and materials is about 700k.
The plastering is for both interiors and exteriors. I don't have all the materials details handy.
The decks were not plastered because we used POP. Thanks.

Some other contractor/bricklayer wanted N850k for labor only... but I ran.

Note: This was before the latest cement increase. So factor that into the new cost.

Last question... I think you should always roof before you proceed to anything else like plastering, plumbing or electrical pipings.

Qc1:




If you called that big mansion of yours "kobo-kobo", I wonder what you will call standard bungalow?

Ile to ju afin oba lo, eni de be lole so!(your house that is bigger than the King's palace, you have to see to believe!)


@ topic,


I spent about N1.2m when cement was about N2,100/bag. No sooner I finished the plastering the price went back to N1,450/bag. I almost wanted to sue Dangote for refund kia kia!

If I'm not mistaken, 3strikes paid the same.

erico2k2:

Kx:


Thanks @spyder880, @Mufutau55 and every every!

1. Surely the plan is to roof and proceed to electrical pipings and then plaster without door and window dressing for now.

2. Are you saying the decks (decking) needs no plastering if pop is to be done on the decks? would that result in smooth pop on rough decks if no cement plastering was done first and foremost??

3. More so, someone advised that the wall plaster should stop where the floor/walls tiles skirtle (pardon the spelling) start in order for the wall/floor skirtle to align perfectly with the plastered wall. What's your professional advise on all of the above please (pros and cons of the bolded).

mufutau55:

...."unless you just want to screed the under-decking and use cornice on the sides, then you should plaster it"

Empiree:
As in fence and gate??. How about those houses without compound?

spyder880:


Thank you, site must be well secured before wiring. A lot of stealing of wires and cables in most sites now. Cable is easily stolen and portable more than most other materials in any site.

mufutau55:


NO. Not just fence.... Roof, windows & burglary, front and all exit doors.
My friend installed his wires today and by the time they got there the following morning to continue the work, nothing was left of the wires.. Imagine!

Empiree:
I am lost though. Correct me if am wrong. Wiring and piping are in the wall and cemented. How is that possible to steal?.

Currently, mine is fenced and wood gated (temp) but no windows yet. I dont think windows and door are next. I just roofed 2 weeks ago. What do you think I should do now. Windows and doors or plumbing and electric wiring?.

I thought plumbing and electric should come first so i have ordered for quotations. The reason is you said earlier in this post or elsewhere when i sought advice about which should i do first. You said plumbing first before windows to avoid breaking windows. So i have to worry about GBEWIRI now?.

They can even break the windows to get what they want. Right now, my place is surrounded by bushes except for one side

My brother... Na wah o. Go see Mansion for Lekki o... nah BQ I dey build. but we thank God.

Your house is more than a Boys - quarter, it is a mansion close to the white house in the US. It is also possible you have a bunker in your villa for storing dollars, pounds, Euros, Bit-coins, Japanese yen, Saudi riyals, with a remote control to your bunker and it is impenetrable & well fortified with electronic gadgets from Japan and also an escalator that takes you from your living room to your bunker, the same thing applies to Egunmogaji

mavverick:
God dey o.
Na only house rep you come see give me, where Ghana must go/brown envelope will not reach my side .
By the way, you still dey ride your bike ? When you talk about your Bike, i remember sons of anarchy . Do they still have MC's like that in Cali abi SOA was just too fictional ?

EgunMogaji:


Don't underestimate the ingeniosity of our people at home due to hunger.

They will pull the wires out.

They've stolen casement windows that is already embedded in cement.

Empiree:
You mean after electric wiring and piping are installed, robbers can still steal them?. How about fence and temporary wood gate, is that enough security?
