A bricklayer once told me its different cost plastering with plum(spirit level). I wonder how you wont work with basic tools that make your job easy,neat and fast.

That is a different case. You said "basic tools" not Electric powered machines.
In the case of the comment you quoted, he was talking about having the same cost for using a manual tiling machine and the electric one, manual tile cutting machine is a basic tool and the electric ones are not, considering the fact that one,
1. Most times these machines breaks down and you need to replace it, who bears the cost?
2. They use blades which needs to be replaced from time to time on the course of the job, unlike the manual ones. Who bears the cost?
3. Provision of Fuel for the generator that will run the machine, cos one can't rely on Nepa , that's if there's a source of power on site. Who bears the cost?

Yes, if you request for special machines to be employed for your job as against the manual/basic ones you need to pay more.
It's more like asking why there's a difference in the cost of hand mix concrete and machine mix. Simply, machine and machine running cost. Machine not tool.

I meant 0.40mm. Seen it in one of the NL installers pricelist. I will look for it

Go for 0.45mm of First Aluminum not 0.40mm

ceelog:
Would you recommend 0.40mm (First Aluminum) for a small duplex?

0.45mm you mean? If it's first aluminium, it's very much OK.

Pojomojo:

Pardon?

KolaShangOne:
And please water it day and night. We are in the dry season.

good point.
Professionally, curing is supposed to be done by preventing escape of water from the concrete.
If there's a means of wrapping up the concrete with cellophane, that will be the best. In the absence of that, try not to let the body of the concrete dry up, keep watering it.

good evening house, plz I want to know how many bags of cement, stone and sand that can cast a 4 bedroom bungalow. and what is the ratio of cement sand and stone.

cast what part of the bungalow, how many cubic meter do you want to cast? Not all 4 bedroom bungalows are the same, difference in room sizes and arrangement.
A detailed question will be easier to answer..

Abdomox:
Hello all,

Please I need your advice on the best aluminium (Longspan) colour to go for. Was told other colours will fade due to rain and sun impact, except brown colour.

Kindly advise pls.

For me, I don't think colour is the issue but product. If you get a good product like First Aluminum, Tower and other ones, they will stand the test of time, irrespective of the colour. Only if you want to go for the imported coil, that's when you will start considering colour, and you should be careful with choice of imported product.

I'm an architect Architect, and I'm available call 08110623634

Hello all, Mr. Hajji M. and all honest, reliable professionals,

I need the contact information for all professionals (including a site supervisor) that I need to build a 4 bedroom/4 bathroom house on
780 sqm.


Thanks everyone.

r.

because there are cost implications for using machines and sometimes clients wont want to pay for that much. check my profile, most works are machine made.

aonag:
lol. you guys are funny. why do you want people to pay you for doing manual jobs when you know that using machines as a standard would make your jobs easier, faster and neater?

.

we can get it done for #450/m2 for manual tiling and #100per meter for skirting. but if you want the use of electric cutting machines it will go for #500/m2...power coming from you.

aonag:
thank you for the information. how much should i budget for a sqm of floor tiling. i have about 700+ sqm to tile..

Adedward:
chech the types of wire they want to used before any others things, they are some wires in marker, DAT pass DAT 7,500 he mentioned here,

thats the problem, he didnt specify. Nigerchin and coleman should be more but Im sure he wont be buying those ones, last last he will go for cometstar. For residential projects like this, electricians go for those ones strictly on clients demand.

Good day everyone, please can anyone give me a rough estimate to construct a warehouse of 700 square meter in lagos island area.
Thanks.

I did it and it worked

4 bedroom Twin duplex, proposed on a half plot of land.
With a living room
Dining
Kitchen
Guest room
And 3other rooms ensuite

If am right, the 3D and the floor plan ain't the same. First what is the location of the project
2. I think it's better you give out the contract to the roof carcass level then you take over. Then get someone you trust, like a brother to oversee the payment while you the contractor does the labour and material( with payments and negotiations made by your contact person)

Nwokeomajayb:
Hey guys I’m planning on giving my land it’s title. Please what’s the estimate of completing this 4 bedroom bungalow?
I’ll appreciate that so much. I’m tired of this so called friends quotations. A land of 1.7m they took 3m because I based abroad. Guys I need help here.
I’m even thinking of giving the contract from foundation to above linter level then I’ll take it from there. What do you guys reckon? Which way is more considerable cheaper for me?

saydfact:
The pics you shared was actually done with polystyrene (offcourse I know its a 3ds ) - google polystyrene.
