Chai! Penny wise Pound foolish they say. Pay me professional fee, you no gree. Now you have lost all that money to bricklayers posing as Architects / Structural / civil engineers. Construction is not all about measurements and block arrangements.

let me help hajji out here.
screeding is done after plastering the building. cement screeding is smoother and better in my opinion. I used to have pictures of cement screeding of different projects but i don't have them anymore. However, I will post pictures of a painted project that cement screeding was used.
just for the record, I don't get involved in any form of screeding, I'm just giving my personal opinion. I've seen countless of pop screeding on sites and I've seen cement screeding and I only speak from my observation.
On a professional level, cement screeding doesn't set fast and won't waste materials.
it's smoother because it has longer open time to work it and has free lime to make it flexible when working before it sets.
water doesn't affect it, and water in paints also combine with the cement to further hydrate it. The water won't evaporate from the wall but would rather be soaked in by the cement to further hydrate it and make it stronger. The paint would therefore be chemically linked with the wall. it's won't peal off easily unlike pop screeding.
There is no cement/sand plaster that can give the level of smoothness as screeding. no matter how many times the sands are sifted.
you only need to compare the aggregate of both. The aggregate in pop emulsion paint used as the aggregate is calcium carbonate powder. you are basically comparing plaster sand to calcium carbonate powder in smoothness.
I've seen very well plastered walls that doesn't require screeding for matte emulsion to be applied on it, however it would still need to be screeded for satin to be applied on it. satin is thin and light and the tiny pores on cement plaster would be obvious and won't give that perfect smooth finish.

modified to include cement screeding

mufutau55:
Yes. Yiu can use cement screeding anywhere. That is what I used on my present project for internal and external. Yiu can use any cement, it depends on who do your screeding. My unqualified opinion.

Hello Guru's in the house, please i have a plot of Land in Enugu measuring 90x60, i will want to know how much it will cost me to put a tiny duplex of 4 bedrooms so as to maximize enuff space for a 3 storey building(2 bedroom flat) inside the same compound as the case maybe. I will be glad to receive some sample drawings of the duplex..(if possible no dining included and no upstairs parlor) (sigaadera@gmail.com)

Sounds like you want a duplex of 4 bedrooms fully detached, then you want another 3 storey building on the same plot. What will the 3 storey building contain?


I want to start building asap. thanx

Truthinlife:
Hello everyone,
I’ve seen how beautiful cement screeding looks on external wall. Can cement be used in screeding internal walls also (Rooms,Living rooms etc).Is there a particular brand of cement recommended for screeding.

rotecch77:
They said we are fighting for contract.
Truth is bitter, I jejely seal my mouth as I don't know anything. Seat down look naa hm better now

tevanso:
Bros, where will labour collect 40k for excavation of fence for 4 plots .

DECORCOLOR:
Call us for your stamp concrete, Epoxy and 3D

johnson232:
For those of us that have been here, it is only natural to omit certain info when posting on here. We have seen it several times. It is now left for the individual concerned to ask questions.
No one is paying anybody here for the info they dish out, so those who take out their time to post sth should be appreciated, because left for some of u, no one will get any info here without paying for it.
Just completed fencing a plot of land with a similar quote posted by someone recently.
So info as such are very much useful to us....

skimanski:
No one said visit the land. You only ask certain Questions before giving information. So that you dont give wrong/incorrect information. Anyway
I see how you love to Benefit from Wrong Information! Nice one!!!

johnson232:
Oga park well...
What about all the quotes we have be seeing on this very thread? Which alot of us has benefited from....
Do they visit the land before coming up with those quotes?
Pls lets not disuade pple from sharing info here
The thread is already dwindling knowledge wise....

Rubbiish:
U should have asked the no of coach
U guys don't need to start gathering meeting on my post
What i did was only a guide & i see absolutely nothing wrong in that
If u have sth better post it.
I m not here to drag contract with anyone
I clearly stated the figures are subject to change depending on location

Oga calculate the number of blocks for a 10coach fencing & post the number of blocks for pillars here @bold.

Rubbiish:
U should have first of all asked about my location & number of course which i proposed for the fencing before studiously & subtly condemning my post. He gave 100ft by 200ft land size. U do the calculation, using 3blocks as columns for 10 course fencing @ a spacing of 3m & see the no of blocks u will get for fencing. I clearly stated the figures are subject to change regarding location & i was never expecting the op to use it as his final post, but to serve as a guide. If u have got something better & closer to his post, u should have posted it.

AZUH:
Who else knows how to modify chicken legs pillars ?

Henrick007:
giving price when you don't know the number and sizes of Windows on the building

twinskenny:
To avoid damage cable before pop

chidexy:
I am currently on POP, so will give you an idea on the likely cost estimation. I have 120 m² concluded already and a further 100 m² ongoing. I bought the materials quoted by the guys handling the project. For their workmanship, I paid 1k per m². The cost of materials would likely be significantly cheaper in Lagos than in Ebonyi state. For the materials and how much I paid for them, you'll find the info on page 809 onwards on this thread. I had previously posted them

mank1234:
You've been looking for this company? Where?
You registered on 23rd September and your only post is to recommend an entity.

If I were a client, I'll be suspecting that you're linked to the company. You can clear doubts by posting evidence of your previous dealings with the company.

mufutau55:
That is what my Electrician recommended. One for downstairs and one for upstairs, I guess to separate the load..
It's a big duplex, so I agreed to it. I don't know much about electricity in Naija o.

That is ridiculous as a professional... he should at least give you estimate for the materials.
Then you guys go to market with him and buy the materials for the actual cost.
He can later tell you to pay him for anything you feel for the Labor since he is a relative.

One of my project, for example:
Duplex of 7 Bedrooms all ensuite, 2 big Livingrooms, anteroom, 2 balconies, Kitchen,Visitors Toilet, Security Guard House.
Materials was around N280k because I got 3 DB Boxes (2 3Phase for each Duplex floor and 1 Single Phase for Security House).
Labor for the pipings work was N70k. Please note this is only pipings and nothing more.
Hope this helps.

Hajji M.

twinskenny:
80k should do sir..

twinskenny:
depending on the type of db
should be between 250k 300k materials labour inclusive

Daboomb:
Dont be too concerned about how much the Contractor quoted (I am not saying you should not be worried if given an unreasonable quote).
What l think you should pay more attention to, is that the job is well done and your Parrapet wont start falling-off after a few years, l have seen such happen.

To be sure you are not wasting money or being coned, get involved in your building.
Negotiate labour alone while you buy and supply the needed Cement, Sand, Iron and wood to do the form-work.
keep a close eye on what is being done and ensure they stick to "good standards".

You may agree to even #200,000 and the Contractor then spacse the hanging irons at distances that are too far apart to give effective support or fills the Parapet with a very weak mix of concrete (in your absence) and you will never know, until a few years down the line.

I would say you read through this thread and other threads where Parapet has been done so you can familiarise yourself with the knowledge because it is not a big deal at all (if you read and have the knowledge o).

A good build is not just about how much (High or Low) is charged or paid, it is more of KNOWLEDGE and CORRECT SUPERVISION

Goodluck.

KolaShangOne:
Its quite much for your building footprint. Your house is just 17m x 14m approx. I just finished installing (some days ago) for a house of about 24m x 16m and total cost was about 300,000 although we used a cost saving method.

But if you're using PVC for the gutter and downpipes, you will spend 350k or thereabouts.

If you need more details, contact me on +2347038935532.

mufutau55:
Thank you Sir. (Of course I learnt/learning from you all, the Masters here)

I like this order:
1a. Turkey/Chinese/Local Iron/Steel doors before tilings so all the braces underneath can be leveled/tiled.
1b. Also if this is bathroom or kitchen with tiles all around the doors... makes it look better and rounded.

2. If Wooden doors with or without architraves, install the frames or sub-frames first and all around well plastered.

3. Install the actual Wooden doors after the tilings.
Sorry.. if I have missed anything. And I stand corrected.
