Hello,
Pls what's the quantity of POP materials needed for 80 sqm ceiling space... very simple design?

Bros, go there yourself and get the windows fixed. It's really bad that he got a shoddy job in exchange for his hard earned money.

Adedward:
GOOD pm brother, am very sorry, I just sent money to my boy, he will come tomorrow to rectify what u complain sir, thanks, am very sorry once again, thanks

Nice one Rotecch77! I'm glad you realised you weren't doing the right thing by "throwing" random statements. I always laugh when a particular set of my female colleagues indulge in that anytime they have misunderstanding with somebody.
Don't you think you should still reach out to that "someone" and try to iron out your differences? You ain't doing badly and your brand is going places.

rotecch77:
Thanks so much Chief I really appreciated.
As they says; No smoke without fire” someone pushed me to this but I will reverse back to my original Character bcs of someone like you and my esteemed clients which i can’t leave without them.

In this life you just need to “ Do your best and leave the rest” you can’t pleased everybody as we all know.

Don’t forget we deal in building construction and maintenance coupled with sales of plumbing stuffs

My brother, you just spoke my mind. People's way of reasoning these days never cease to amaze me.

FEGEITOK:
Some people are very full of themselves...won't mention names but their words speaks volumes of the persons behind the monikers

See the workings below:

*House base area= 9.6 * 9.6= 92.16sqm
*Eaves = 0.5m (see what it means in the image in the link I shared with you).

*Pitch = 4.2/4.8 = 0.875 (where 4.2 is kingpost height and 4.8 is half of the width of the house)
Convert 0.875 to fraction with 12 as denominator... which gives 10.5/12 approximately 11/12 .... This is the roof pitch.

Input house base area, eaves and roof pitch in the calculator to get 155.2 sqm.

*Multiply 155.2 by the correction factor of 1.357 which corresponds to 11/12 roof pitch (scroll to the bottom of the calculator page).
Ans is 210.6064 sqm.

This is not an absolute answer, it is subject to corrections and criticism.

Reeefe:
Lols abeg tell me how ohhh

Here's your answer: 210.6064sqm

Don't ask me how I arrived at this because the assumptions plenty and the process long.

Reeefe:
Here is a sample of the result. Ideally this is a 190 to 210 sqm job. I have done something similar before

This link should give you a close estimate.

Reeefe:
Hello house please I'm trying to calculate the sqm for a roof.
Can someone put me tru?

The Kingspost is 14ft (height)
The length is 32ft
The width is 32ft

It's a hip roof

rotecch77 please what is the format for this calculation?

I saw a few examples on YouTube but the results in the calculation isn't giving me a correct Sqm

Rany4all:
I think what he was implying is that they'll use the client's cement to refill the empty bags they bought and then return the client's empty bags with signatures to him. So they can sell the cement in the bags they bought as opened or half bags, while still returning the client's empty bags with his signatures.

You are right bros, that's the implication. For the client to put signatures on cement bags, it shows the level of distrust he has for the artisan. For the artisan to still empty the contents of signed bags into another empty bag in order to make away with it... That artisan must be an irredeemable cro0k.

kopell:
Please don't generalize, there a lot of good people here that handle projects of over 100 million without any issue. Many of them are so busy they don't even have time to update their profile regularly. Always do your due diligence before commiting your hard earn money to just anybody

toyeoye:
Still NEVER trust anyone no matter track record. Even saints are cutting corners in this economy.

It still baffles me why some people would still want to cheat their clients - cutting corners in jobs or during materials procurement by buying substandard/incomplete materials, even after being paid full for the agreed labour/service charge.
I can't remember where I saw a post about a client that signs his signature on every bag of cement to be used in a particular day, the site supervisor/bricklayer is expected to return the empty signed bags to the client at the end of the day. Do we think this will curb the incidence of cement theft at the site?

For the roofing woods estimate, this guy - Hslbroker2 used to give estimates but don't know if he's still an active NL user. Procarpenter is active and should also be able to do justice to that too.
For roofing/roofing sheets, Money121 is the household name here.
Please note that I've never done business with any of them, hence the need to still do your due diligence.
All the best.

Celepope:
My Ogas them in the house. I have built my house up to roofing stage. My contractor have been bleeding me seriously because I am not on ground nor any siblings of mine to monitor this my project. He practically charges me double based on the information I have gotten from this thread with the excuse that things are now expensive. Is there a way I can be able to ascertain the square meter of the roof size to be able to know the amount of wood needed for the woodwork and the square meter to determine the roofing sheet (shingle black) I will be needing for this building? The attached drawings are the only ones he gave me. He said he can’t give me the exact or estimated square footage of the roof until after the woodwork. How true is this? An approximation even if not 100% accurate, of the square meter this house will need for roofing will highly be appreciated.

horlabiyi:
My Oga I don come again ooo. We are moving the plastering level for my building and the bricklayer is telling we are going to use 90-95 bags for both in and out. Is that not too much? Money no dey

90-95 bags of cement for a 3-4 b/r bungalow?
That's too much. I plastered a 4 b/r ensuite recently with 68 bags.
Your bricklayer should check well o ... Money no dey.

horlabiyi:
Glory be to God. I’ve roofed the building 387sqm Milano at the rate of 6200

Very neat and beautiful job.
Congratulations and more wins for you.

Thanks.

michlins:
The job has been completed and painted

Nice and neat delivery as usual.
What tank capacity can this carry?
Can you also give a breakdown of the materials that completed this?

Do the joints (or edges) need to be secured using wooden batons like the old asbestos ceiling we know? Could you please share a pic of your installation?

VanuatuWycombe:
It’s good for wall cladding too, both internal and external. That’s what we are using on our current project. Installation is on DIY basis since we have all tools and consumables needed.

No need of screeding again. Just look for good paint sprayer like the one we are using - Wagner HEA Airless Sprayer.
You can also by Gaco/Magnum too, if you have the cash.
There are China-made sprayers too on the market.

There's this option of using plaster board/gypsum board. Do you have any idea about its usage or is it the same as fiber cement?

diordaves:
I don't have a personal picture unfortunately but here are some from the internet.

Do you have a sample pic of an installed fiber cement ceiling? Kindly share if you do.

diordaves:
Nigerite fibre cement is cheaper to install with minimal screeding of the joints to have a continuous finish.

However, if you now wish to over engineer it to have organic finish like installed POP, you might as well do POP as it would cost you more at the end of the day.

Fibre cement is for a clean, simple modern budget ceiling solution.

I would prefer this method to any other for under deck POP installations. Thanks for bringing this up.

OnMyHonor:
Woods get weak or eaten from the inside, by those bloody Wood Ants, despite treating the Wood with Solignum, before noggin!

Another [b]Option, if someone knows they are doing POP, the necessary thing to do, is to provide 10mm Iron Rod Ready-Hooks embedded in the Decking, at the Concrete Deck Construction stage (like we do Fan Hooks into the Decking at that stage), you can now hang your Pop to such hooks.[/b]
No matter how heavy or how much you attach to it, it will stay-up like that, as long as the job is properly done by a qualified Installer and they use adequate Cementing/POP material.

This is good news, just 3 days ago I bought Lagostar brand of 1.5mm and 2.5mm for 27.5k and 45k respectively. The prices will hopefully drop further in the coming days, although this is also dependent on the sellers.

topsy23:
1.5mm 25500
2.5mm 40000
6mm 91000
10mm 151000

More bigger deals for you I pray.

ParamilitaryII:
Good evening, everyone.
I plan to start this project soon. Please, what corrections would you advise me to make on this plan? Thank you in anticipation for your advice.

Good layout you have there, but I'm of the opinion that you can cut construction cost if the madam/children toilet can share same wall and eventually some plumbing installations. The lobby between the children b/r and master toilet can be removed so as to share same wall.
Wish you speed in your building journey.

Nice job Bolu1986.
What's the current cost for POP ceiling installation per sqm (simple design), with and without materials?

Oga Spyder880, what is used to cover these inspection chambers?

sonnie10:
I did the same when cement was #4000. Then I bought 100 bags, paid in full . Getting to the shop after about 2 weeks, the seller said current price of cement was #4300. No amount of fight could help the situation. I had to balance the difference before carrying the cement.
To know your fate, just go there tomorrow and say you want your cement. Some sellers wouldn’t disappoint but this inflation can change people character.

I also asked same question some while ago, I have 5 bags with my cement seller, it's like I will gently go and collect and lock them up in my ongoing project before the man will succumb to the temptation of price increment... My ears are so paining me to hear that kind story...lol

I bought ten bags of cement 2 weeks ago at the rate of N6,600/bag. My builder used just 5 bags and I still have 5 bags with the seller. Hope he won't tell me stories when I need my remaining 5 bags. Lol.

Thanks for sharing.

gbadexy:
I've been meaning to write it here for a while, the opinion of myself and my screeders is that basecoat putty is better than cement screeding.
Often times, cement screeding tends to crack after some time, it needs to be primed with white emulsion paint to prevent excessive consumption of paint and give white background for a sharper final paint application.
Basecoat is white and doesn't need any extra priming.
Those we have handled application for can attest to these.

I can see excavation alone for 375k and other high labour costs - how were the labour costs arrived at? Is it per day per worker? Per block laid (as the case may be)?
professional charge for 500k - is it for just supervision of the project till the lintel stage or all the project? Did you contract it out or on what terms?
I may not be a professional in this area but from my experience so far with my ongoing project and what I gather on this forum, I think more clarifications are needed.

@ professionals on this forum, please help this brother out.

Welcome back guys!!!!

Hello professionals in the house, Can someone help me review this BOQ for a three bedroom bungalow with Study and probably a rough estimate to aid in renegotiating before starting the excavation process for foundation

Land condition: Table Land and not swampy

I bought 10 trips of sharp sand out of the 15 trips and 60 bags of cement which was used to mold 3000+ blocks and also I've already bought 30 tons of granite and its on site already.

Temporary shedhouse/store has been erected on site too.

Though the professional charge, I negotiated down to 500k

Pic 2: The Land area and area to be built
Pic 3: BOQ

Note: The Land is already fenced round and gated already

There was this debate on toilet opening directly to the sitting room some weeks back , personally don’t like it, but no be only nija he dey , na usa be this , must say first time am seeing something like this in 25 years of coming here

My attention shifted from the toilet issue to the very smooth wall and perfect door installation in the pic ... attention to details here is 100%.

Winniealfred1:
Please can someone help me check this quotation i got from my builder. The house is in the village in oyo state and it is a 3 bedroom bungalow. Am i about to be duped? The quotation is looking so high. I am working on a tight budget

I cannot see blocks anywhere in the quotations, are you moulding them out of the cements quoted here?

Dennis3D:
Oh Yes they were...

Great! Didn't see the usual black stains of used engine oil. What chemical was used for the treatment?

How many tonnes is each trip of this truck?

spyder880:
Tipping many more trios of filling sand, we are working with 3 trucks at the same time................

Dennis3D:
Gradually rounding up the roof carcass.

Were these woods treated in any way?
