Thanks sir
What if one space steptiles 300mm c/c?
Must it be 325?
What I mearnt is that it must not be more than it's very important to understand the way the carpenter take his measurements also. The measurements are centre to centre not edges very important. Stepped tiles and metcoppo have very little rooms for errors so u might be on the safe side no matter what it spacing should never be more than 325c/c
Also the slope is very important for step tiles and metcoppo it angle for safety must not be lesser than 18degree slope. Because of the multiple currygation and the roof slope.

Hello how much are the wooden doors?

The woodwork is different?..but in our private discussion in the past you said that the woodwork for both of them are the same. undecided



There seems to be alot of contraditory information and I m gettin abit confused tbh undecided.
The main difference is their spacing while you can space longspan from 600mm to 900mm for step tiles and metcoppo it must be exact at 325mm c/c. That is a major difference .

May your woodwork is not meant for Metcopo
Becos Metcopo and Steptiles design mk use if thesame woodwork and poline spacing . But few carpenter know this..
Reason why u need to know the design u are going for before the purchase.

Metcopo and Steptiles design are okay.

Not that Longspan is not good but depend on ur budget
Thanks

I wasn't swindled. The plan was for 0.45mm which was supplied. This is the appropriate guage for domestic use. 0.55mm and above is appropriate for industrial use. You know there's trouble when you recommend industrial standard for domestic use.
I beg to differ sir, the issue to do with the curruvation noting more 0.45mm can be recommended for both domestic and industrial use as long as it's Longspan aluminum design.

Cindino20:
even if you use a 0.45mm instead of a 0.55mm...will that lead to such level of leakage?..I ve no experience in this but i suppose a thickness of .10mm which is less than 20% difference in thickness should not lead to such amount of leakage under 2years...the roof posted by @diordaves looks sloped and should not have such issues..

and can you please tell us what is the cause of this price difference between lagos and Benin?

Regards

As for the price difference I think that is dependent upon the manufacturer . For instance Tower is way more expensive that the regular guys we use . Tower aluminum are more expensive even than the south Korean stone coated roofing self.
I think maybe it's the manufacturer you approached or the person that quoted for the Job.

There is a big difference in simple terms the machine stretches the aluminum while trying to corrugate it you don't need plenty sheets u just 4to5sheets to be faulty and all he'll will be let loose when it rains.
The gauge of the aluminum profile is very important.

[quote author=Cindino20 post=66365618][/quote]both stepped tiles and Metcoppo all have the same issue if currugated with 0.45mm and also check the company you are getting it from.. you must make sure it's 0.55mm

Cindino20, run for your life; run from " horrible experience", run from metcopo.

Cindino20! Cindino20! Cindino20!!! How many times I call you? Run from metcopo.

I used metcopo over two years ago and I'm still maintaining and so are ALL home owners in my estate in Warri. Metcopo is a flawed design prone to leakage like mad.
Probably u were swindled and 0.45mm was used instead of 0.55. U can buy from Lagos because the price difference is really much. Look for a tested and trusted roofer because u might need to make payment might be partial. But I need to commit. All the best.

I know derenyx can help with a good roofer

which size of land can contain this with parking space thanks
this aS done on a 1.5 plot of land I.e 27x36m the client had a lot of land to spare and wasn't interested in going vertical. But in areas where land is of issue it can be be done on far less as long as client is willing to go vertical.
Thank you.

It’s best to pay for this level of detail that you’re seeking for the following two reasons.

1) it has been alleged in here that some unscrupulous artisans use this method to provide estimates to their client

2) it will remove any animosity from a builder that you did not select

Also, do not take any estimate serious from anyone that didn’t see your building plan and most likely building site.

Good luck on your project.
I couldn't agree less well said
