I am gradually coming back online... I have been under influence of "Vertigo".
Pls pray you don't have the above... it takes a real man to go thru it. Real BAD.
I no go explain am, please google for it. Can you imagine having a hang-over for about one month?

Empiree:
Oh great. How does it look. Is it the same used on this thread or do you have sample you can post here?. I really need light weight with price tag.

Thanks

Note: And what is it made of

Empiree:
Was referring to Polystyrene (Foam) parapet. It was mentioned my Hajji mufu

Onuokwu:
Laugh ke? I am very impressed with the hands on approach and wish some engineers i have worked with will be more involved rather than dishing our orders over the phone. In future I hope you continue with the personal touch you give your projects, and train your workmen to know what you want even if you are not there so that there is minimal room for disagreements.

Empiree:
I hope this type of parapet is not to heavy compared to concrete?

Dominionng:
Well-done Boss!

Memejem:
So it's a mini flat basically on top of a garage. Is this like a guest house purpose?

I'm a female by the way. Thanks so much. I really enjoy reading your threads.

Memejem:
I'm confused. Can you please explain what the purpose of a garage house is for? Here in Canada the garage is connected to the house. Does a garage house replace the gatemans security house? What is the purpose of the mini flat on top?

AyaAremu:
Hello pple,

Pls help me check this plan. In terms of ventilation,stucture etc do you think its okay? Your input will be appreciated.

I take it as a 'Typo'......... though not so "obvious", ...........as l did not initially see it as such !

" these commen" ( these Con men Vs these Comment) .........more reason why l was shocked..... though you will observe that l also gave you the "benefit of doubt" by saying "I have never witnessed you use foul language on anyone before".

On the basis of your shedding more light on it, l take it that it was a 'Typo' and you mean no harm.

You have my Respects !

I just came back from a ban too..... it doesn't bother me.

Now, are you referring to me as a "conman"?
Why would you use such offensive language at me?
Am l bidding for his job ..or any job for that matter?
Did you read me make any sort of offer to him?
Is it wrong to offer my own opinion...based on my own very recent experience of such activity?
Am l imposing my opinion on you, the person concerned or anyone for that matter?

I am struggling to let it pass here as l dont generally "suffer-fools" (figure of speech, so dont take that literally), but l will make an exception this time, being the first time.


BTW: I helped you look-it-up below, as it appears you are just 'bandying words' around.
You only use such words if someone is doing something so he can make a "material/financial gain" out of it....... and obviously, that is not even remotely the case here!

I think he was banned for using foul language on @Lastpage ...... whats the shame in that?
Apology for what sef?
Is he the first person to be banned for that or whats with all these "pandering to emotions, for intellectual gain", ........even bordering on hypocrisy?

Silly season wan start again, abi?

Will concrete roof decking last due to our harsh weather?

ceelog:
Abdul...well done. A quick question please. Is it okay if I exclude stones in my blinding for my fence? The land is not swampy and is flat.

jossy26:
Sir, thanks for your comments I really do appreciate, still can't get the structural but I have a floor plan attached maybe it will give more idea. Mr Abdul says the labour looks ok considering that German floor is included; cost of material is a liitle above 2m, 10% of 2m for labour in this case doesn't look ok or am I getting something wrong

There are few "excesses there" that seems obvious. But the floor plan will help us to be even more accurate. It will help us know the size of the foot-print since all the bedrooms are not going to be on the ground floor (which is the only info you gave)

1.) Wood: You don't need 400 planks: Let us assume it is going to be 4ft raft (assumption), estimate for 300 @900 each
1 x 12, buy 200 pieces @250 each

2.) Instead of Sand, buy Stone Dust at 30tons x 2.5 (75Tons) @90 each = 225K

3.) Cement 350 Units, quoted price is okay

4.) Filling Sand depends on how high your raft will be. if not more than four planks, but 20Trips of 20tons (Laterite is about 27K/20Tons)

5.) Full Binding wire and Nail is #5,000 each ...(x 4) = #20,000

6.) Tanks and Water costs 98,000 in your quote.
Add 40,000 to it and get them to dig you a bore hole on site. You will thank me later!
(BTW: He will still come back to tell you to bring more money for water as the building goes up!)

7.) Labour should be around 10% - 12% (at most), of materials in use

If it is "me", the above is what l will do/be paying but you are your own man.

My ogas hajj spyder880 AbdulWastecx Skimanski Aventures

Please is this a bungalow or story building?

The "oparuns" in front are throwing me off.

Onuokwu:
Just out of curiosity, why do you have a concrete slab over the BQ? Is this better than just using wood and aluminium like i see in many other builds? Which is more cost effective?

jossy26:
^^ thanks so muchsir, I appreciate your response, will post the structural as soon as I get hold of it. How about the labour isn't that too much?

EgunMogaji:
Okiedokie...maybe it's a Naija thing that I have to get used to.

Hello house can the gurus help review/analyse this quotation by my engineer for a raft foundation plus German floor for a 5bedroom duplex. Thanks
