^^^ the width of a stairway is supposed to be 4 feet wide and the lenght will depend on the plans of the house. I also like to create landing steps wide enough for two people to pass each other on the stairs with loads if possible. This is very essential especially in emergency situations.

Huuummmmmm, copied sir.

@ Oga rastaman, yes most decking woods could be reused, like me, I am using some left over wood from my deck to do this upper lintel. I have sold more than 80 of the planks for N400 each.


Then , if there is no market for that. pls start saving them for me grin grin grin grin

Today, we are going to collect different quotes for various aspects of this deck. The carpenter will give me a quote for the parapet formation in front of the house. The iron bender will submit his quote and yes, I need an alternative quote on that job so we can know which is cheaper. The electrician will also submit his conduit wiring estimates and labor charge.
The next move will be made after I cut down the quotes and tim the estimates as much as I can. Man must haggle!

@Spyder and All, Please advice me. I am taking quotations for my burglary proof and staircase railings from different welders.

What would you consider a good material to do the burglary proof with? Is the 1" x 1" square pipe the standard material? When the guys say they are going to use a very high quality material what should I expect?

Will the square pipe rust easily? I am not on the ground to see what they are suggesting. I am looking for the best way to approach them when I am talking to them on the phone.

I went with the carpenter to buy the materials needed for the parapet porch in front of this house. We had to buy the special wood and take it to a machinist who carved the wood and formed it into the shapes we want to make.
Pictures later.

Sometimes I go out and learn some tricks about areas I dont know much about. Some of my boys were doing a parapet roof in another site and I went there to learn how they do it. The carpenter in charge of this job is the same boy who did the lintel works for this duplex.
My carpenter is an expert with this parapet works, and he took me to this duplex he did, the house with a chocolate roof in the next few pictures. Later we went and bought materials for the duplex we are working on now.

Enjoy the pictures. grin grin

This is the machine that we use to form the curves, I was there with the carpenter as we watched the whole works.

Re: Building Of A 5 Bedroom Executive Duplex In Enugu by spyder880(m): 7:43pm On Aug 26, 2011
It was raining heavily all through this afternoon in Enugu but it didn't stop anything, we must keep moving, the machinist and all workers were busy working, strong country, poor populace!

Re: Building Of A 5 Bedroom Executive Duplex In Enugu by rastaman20(m): 9:28pm On Aug 26, 2011
@spyder880, u are doing a wonderful job, pls sir, can u give us a clue about the price ?

Just a plus or minus price, so to have in mind should in case if someone want to have that type of design in his /her Mansion.
Re: Building Of A 5 Bedroom Executive Duplex In Enugu by Fhemmmy: 12:11am On Aug 27, 2011
That is just beautiful . . . keep it up
Re: Building Of A 5 Bedroom Executive Duplex In Enugu by spyder880(m): 9:13am On Aug 27, 2011
@ Rastaman, for that parapet design under the chocolate coloured roof, my carpenter did the work for N180k, workmanship only. The materials, cement, wood, machining it to any design, rods, iron bender etc will not be more than 200k, so I think for a duplex, N380-400k can give you a good parapet design. There are many designs to choose from, trust our people to fabricate multiple shapes and unique sizes.
Re: Building Of A 5 Bedroom Executive Duplex In Enugu by spyder880(m): 9:22am On Aug 27, 2011
^^^^ but for the design to be fitted on the front porch like the one in this duplex in this thread, it will cost my client an additional N60-70k. This is because I have spent around 31k buying these wooden materials, planks, plywoods, polines and different nail sizes. The carpenter is doing the work with 25k, then the rods it will take may be in the region of N15k or so. The rods needed and iron bender labour has been factored into the quote I gave to my client fo the decking. Beautiful things are costly, but when you look back in a few months time, you will see that it is well worth it.
