Good day,

Please what's the length of 10mm iron in Nigeria.

Thank you.

Dominionng:
Available..

Sent a mail.

joycluv:
Ok. I will still be consulting u for other things as we proceed. God see you through in your project

Alright Sir. Wish you God's favour too.

joycluv:
Honestly I can't thank you enough for this. It's much better to get it directly from someone who has had similar experience. Plz did you do German floor? If you did, what was the thickness and how many bags of cement did you use? Still Thankful...

No I dint. I only filled all the foundation blocks with cements and gravels.

Still accepting proposals.

joycluv:
So sorry for the error. Was thanking you for the analysis you gave and also kindly asking to know if your build is somehow the same size with mine. Mine measures 42ft X 42ft. It has a total of 17 doors and 14 big Windows and 4 toilet Windows. Thanks

Mine 40ftx40ft and it is 15 doors....13 big windows....5 small windows

Takoro13:
Congrat sr, what is the tonne you are referring to? 20, 30...of sand and gravel

Thank you, but I'm Madam�

1 load= 10 tonnes.

I did the open places only....will do beam after the 2 courses

For 3 bedroom lintel, I used:

24 lengths of iron
20 dozen of angle iron
Binding wire
Sand- 3 loads
Gravel- 3 loads
Cement- 14bags
Workmanship- 25k


Planks & Carpenter workmanship- 75k.

Couldn't verify the workmanships tho cos I was in a hurry to get it done.

joycluv:
Ok. Chain according to the experts is the one dat they cast the lintel round the entire building. But d other type is the one dat the lintel is cast only on top of doors and windows.

joycluv:
My brother u will be in the better position to help me get a better estimate for my own build coz am also doing a three bedroom bungalow. Plz did you do chain lintel or u covered only the openings? Plz share if you don't mind?

Apologies, I am poor at building terminologies. Kindly help differentiate the two forms of Lintel you mentioned

ananne:
Please I have done the lintel of my 5 bedroom bungalow. I want to add the customary 2-3 blocks on top of the lintel before roofing. My project manager is saying I will need about a 1000 blocks.

Will it be too much?

How much is a block sold in the south east now... Preferably anambra state.

I doubt that will be enough tho. I did my 3 bedroom apartment, and I used 1015 blocks (3 blocks inside, 2 blocks outside)

Best method is to use the number of blocks you used in doing foundation as estimate (1 course), then multiply by 2 or 3.

You can also share your floor plan for people to advise you better.

Congrats on this feat.

Keep it coming.

Prodigious farms limited is in need of experts in the construction of snail greenhouse.

Kindly send your proposal for 20ft by 40ft and 40ft by 60ft to info@prodigiousfarms.com

Further clarifications can be sought on this thread.

Thank you.

tevanso:

Why please?

Can someone please advise (best estimate) on cost of roofing this 2-bedroom flat using Gerard roof in Ibadan.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Many thanks, Sir Gbadexy.

What are the materials needed for screeding? And what's the cost of screeding like?

Can any bricklayer do the job? Or there are ppl who specializes in this.

gbadexy:
Screeding is a fine thin layer of plaster applied over cement plaster to give a smoother final finish than regular cement plaster can give.
It is not as hard as cement plaster, so it's possible to sandpaper it further to a smoother finish.
When paint with sheen is anticipated to be used, it's advisable to screed the wall so as to level and correct flaws, cracks and holes on the wall otherwise the reflection of light would highlight such flaws on the wall.
Such errors would not be noticeable if emulsion paint with no sheen is used or if noticeable, it won't be pronounced but conspicuous if matte my silk or satin finish are used.

Thank you. So one must do cement plastering before screeding right?

Or can it be done simultaneously?

Hi Sadyfact,

I have 1,500 blocks more to lay to reach lintel level.

What do you think the workmanship should be?

Or how much should laying of blocks cost?

Thank you.

Please I have been reading about SCREEDING on this thread.

Can someone please explain what this is all about and how it's done? Is it different from normal plastering?

Thank you.

Guys, please is this land upto half plot?

And what can be built on it considering space for 2 cars.

Thanks.
