bekee72: can any body tell me how many blocks of 9 an 6 inches needed for the pic here.i mean from dpc of one 2 bedroom and one 3 bedroom all ensuit to two blocks after lintel?

your best bet is to look for a reliable quantity surveyor to give you a detailed quote (material schedule) based on your actual building plan. this kind of info is not generic as anybody can post anything here without even having a clue as to what they're talking about. better to spend a little money to get a true picture of what materials (quantity/price) you'd be needing for that project first hand than to rely on guesswork. and, believe me its not as expensive as you think.
just my 2 cents.

This is just to bring us up to date on the slow progress we have been making in this project (my house). To be candid with you guys, I never envisaged the type of expenses that goes into the completion of a built house. I tend to underestimate the finishing costs but do you know that this house has been taking funds from me and still looks like nothing is being done here?
The only joy is that me and my family has been living in the downstairs rooms in this property since June this year, saving me some rent expense in my former place. These few pictures are to see the little progress we have made since. I am happy to say that the quality of work is high. The materials may not be top of the range but I am happy, this is the ones I can afford now and I thank God for it. cheesy

This is my external sit out, a place I can stand upstairs and watch the world go by in my old age, a place to relax in the evenings and tell my wife and children tales of what I encountered building houses and doing business for a long time, a place I can host friends and laugh at life over a keg of palm wine and roasted bush meat, a place I can settle misunderstandings (people have turned me to a mini lawyer, as I settle petty yard disputes among my tenants)

But the works are still ongoing as we can see, the scaffolds will be removed within the month as we are rounding off the works. Note that ceiling design, it could be done with another colour to add to the beauty and accentuate the contrasts. Also note that the ceiling fan hook up there is not for a ceiling fan, it is for hanging a beautiful chandelier.

No, my main sitting room is on the ground floor but has a void on top of it so the PVC ceiling is high on the roof beneath the roofing sheets.

This is really long. Is this the standard length for all PVC boards in the market?. With this length, how do you transport it over a long distance.

Innoson pvc board are always 20ft, I have not taken time to measure others but they are equally very long. I like the length as it makes it possible to stretch to the whole ceiling without need to cut it into pieces which will present a joining problem. It might not be neat in the end.
The transportation is usually not by car, the best way to transport it is by loading it on a vehicle with a long frame, or fold it slightly and place it on a pick up truck.
