Good morning oga saydfact,
Thanks for living up to your name.
My question....
Is alo zinc the same as cameroon zinc, and is it recommended for roofing?
If yes, how many bundles of it will be enough for the sample of that 3 bedroom?
Thanks

@saydfact answer me mbok

I know some people that have a lot of time to wash their clothes, some people have helps that could help them wash their clothes, some even have washing machines; but I don't understand why they still take their clothes to dry cleaners.
Is there a difference between home washed and dry cleaner washed clothes?

HAPPY NEW YEAR, 2017 would be the year we all would make progress in our plans and building....God Willing.


No5: Roofing (Aluminum Long Span)

Welcome back!
I've seen some thread on NL where the OP talked about buying logs and it been cut into sizes to do the roof; our purpose is not to spend the minimum possible but get value for the right professional job done.

We would be using standards as usual i.e 2 by 6 for Rafters, 2 by 4 for struts etc., so lets start by listing the standard sizes of hard wood required for this carcase.

2'' x 6'' ie 50mm x 150mm = Rafter
3 x 4 = Wall-Plate
2 x 4 = Struts
2 x 3 = Purlin / Batten
2 x 2 = Nogging (Ceiling Hangers)
1ft x 12ft = Facial Board

See attached pics 1 for representation, location & use of each roof member, also see pics 2 for the roof plan to our building plan.

Often times you find carpenters using 2 x 4 for rafters and or wall-plates, this and many more poor construction practices are reasons why after about about a year or two, the structure begins to fail. Do what's right and on the long run its cheaper for you.

Next we'll calculate the quantities of wood needed (I don't recommend type of wood, your carpenter can do that ie Akun, Itara etc) but whatever choice you pick spend a little more to treat it.

From Calculation (Using attached roof plan) we have:

Material Quantity & Cost.

Hard Wood:
Wall-plates (3x4) = 18 @ N850 = 15300
Rafter (2x6) = 60 @ N900 = 54000
Struts (2x4) = 55 @ N600 = 33000
Purlin (2x3) = 65 @ N450 = 29250
Nogging (2x2) = 165 @ N350 = 57750
Facial Board (1x12) = 16 @ N2000 = 32000

Total for Wood = 221,300
Transport to site = 30,000
Police & Area boys fees = 10,000

Roof Covering:
Our first exercise is to get the surface area of the area to be covered with roof then we had for waste. The first method is to find the area on the roof plan and add 20% for slope and actual length (approximate method) but in more complex roof, its better to use the actual lengths (calculated via Pythagoras and section through roof) or measured on site after carcase has been constructed.

Using the second method our roof surface area is = 172.8 (add 10% waste) = 190m2
We also have the surface area of the eave as = 36 (add 10% waste) = 40m2

NOW MULTIPLE THIS AREA BY THE COST OF YOUR ROOFING MATERIAL.... depending on your choice of roofing material you might need to calculate the m2 of each sheet then divide 190/S (where S is the m2 of one sheet) so you know how many roofing sheets you need to buy.

Using the prices of Dsrooftiles for 0.55mm Guage Aluminum Roofing sheets (Long span)- 1,950 Per meter (first I would convert to m2) - depending on the width of your roofing sheet varies from 600mm, 900mm or 1200mm or more but we'll use 900mm which I believe is the price given above.

1m of long span = (0.9*1)m2 = 0.9m2 hence 1m2 = 1950/.9 = approx N2,200

Cost of Roof covering = N2200 x 190 = 418,000
lets also use same material for our eaves = N2200 x 40 = 88,000

Thats not all, we still have our accessories; #wink - if the price is getter higher than your budget already remember you can also use the 'Nigerite / Eternit Fibre Cement Sheets' (more affordable) and well recommended.

Accessories: Facial board, ridge cap, gutter, hooks, nails and more depending on your choice, this would naturally run into about 100k (double #wink) - but you could use asbestos for the eaves instead of aluminum to save cost too. Its your choice and pocket.

TOTAL MATERIAL COST = N867,300

Labour (carpentry works of carcase) and aluminum installer should run to about 180,000 (this depends on who and how good they are)

TOTAL COST FOR ROOFING THE DESIGN ATTACHED = N1,047,300 (USING QUALITY 0.55 thick ALUMINUM ALL ROUND)

Remember to have about N50K ready if area boys are in your area and another 50k for miscellaneous

HENCE = N1,147,300 (One million, one hundred and forty seven thousand, three hundred naira)

NOTE: YOU COULD REDUCE OR INCREASE THE COST IN THIS SECTION JUST BY CHANGING CHOICE OF MATERIAL....


ALWAYS ENSURE YOU SPEND AS LITTLE AS 25K TO TREAT YOUR WOOD.

**If I left anything out, please draw my attention to it.


No6: Windows and Doors - I wont be discussing Mechanical and Electrical works because its a specialist job that needs the advice of appropriate professional, and largely dependent on the quality and choice of the builder.

We would continue from here next week.

Stay Tuned.... THANKS.

Good morning oga saydfact,
Thanks for living up to your name.
My question....
Is alo zinc the same as cameroon zinc, and is it recommended for roofing?
If yes, how many bundles of it will be enough for the sample of that 3 bedroom?
Thanks

Abdomox:
Sorry, heard suspended PoP is fire proof too. Kindly advise. Thanks.

Is suspended pop imported or made in naija?

Good evening House, I will like to know more about this "Cameroon zinc" for roofing.
What are the pros and cons?

Adedward:
yes sir, but in that case we are do it together and remove it, then put it later, but they must put before window design, and one more thing it will be more stress if it's up stairs,

OK, thanks.

Adedward:
yes boss, u are correct, casement embedded with burglaries is far better than the others one interm of beauty, when we mount the windows into the wall, it will not show iron outside after the dressing by the bricklayer, we will be seen only aluminum pipe, the iron have been put inside the aluminum pipe, and it will look so nice,

Can the window frames be installed with the burglary proof without the window glasses? Then the glasses installed later...

Babs612000:
Yes it should cost you more than that with the slate,woods and workmanship but as you said it cost you N650k you have done a good supervising job.
Well done man.

I was doubting him, then I remembered I used for 400k to roof a 5bedroom in the village.
The carpenter gave me two quotations 350k and 400k. I opted for the 400k.to my surprise he delivered. But when he finished he said he incurred a debt of 30k, I gave him 15k since then he has not asked me for the balance.

emman44:
It depend on how the toilet are been arranged but a Digester cost 200k... We give 25years warranty so it can use more than that...

Does this cover the total cost of everything, like digging, slab, plastering etc.?
Or is there going to be additional expense?

mufutau55:
You should get a quote for four peoples, there is a reason why you have 4 bedrooms, think of future occupancy. Bigger is better but not less or smaller.

Hajji M.

Thanks boss.

emman44:
Sorry for my late response..
The system does a fast separation of solid and liquid... The Digester is two layers 1. The upper layer where the all degradable material are been digested
2. Lower layer where the water is been filter and go out to the pit created for dry land and drainage or canal for high water level....

The upper layers consist of fibre which create micro-organism in thousands that feed on the waste while the lower layer consist of filters that make the water going out odourless and environmental friendly.
It works in both dry land and high water area...
Advantage of sewage Diegester
1. No odour
2. No evacuation,
3. Little space required
4. Cheaper than the spetic tank

Disadvantage
The use of condoms and sanitary pads.. But if it is for hotel we have another design for that..
It can be in both residential and commercial including high rise buildings....

What does this cost for a 4 bedroom flat occupied by just 2 people. And how long does it last.

Dennis3D:
See what I have here. Security and Gen House together. Nice and simple. See our signature for our contact

You are heartless.

Pure lies.
I moved into an apartment some years back.
People living in that house told me I made a mistake that everybody is planning to run away from the house, that the landlady was a witch, and that she uses people's fortune for hers.
I laughed it off.
Long story short
I didn't stay up to a year in that apartment and things turned around for good. Though the other tenants were struggling to survive.
So I think it's all in ur hear.

mufutau55:
Oga Taiwo. Can you explain in details how this your Digester work in replacement for soakaways and septic tanks. Thank you.

Hajji M.

That's the last thing he will do. Never.

yinkaoke:
Things are too expensive particularly in Lagos. Just finished roofing a 4 bedrooms bungalow all rooms ensuit for 650k and it's slate that was used oh with only d slate gulping 300k. Labour 60k for just d exterior n logging below. Diff represent s wood work n other assessories. Site in Ikorodu lagos

Bros can I have a break down on how you achieved that with 650k.

Interested in redmi 8

visita:
Which phone?

Oneplus

Half of my phone screen is not responding to touch. How do I solve this.

I like the redmi 8A but I don't know why it has no finger print scanner.

Biodigesterexpa:
Let's know the location and nature of the land, sir

Abuja, dry land.

How much does it cost to install a digester for a house with one toilet.

emman44:
Sewage Diegester is here for you... Say no to septic tank... No odour No evacuation.... It requires little space.. Call us for more information Mr Taiwo 07066474055.. 25years warranty

Throw more light on this.
