gbadexy:
Okay sir. I'm mindful of the rules on advert but I would state the prices here for the sake of clarity.
A drum of screeding putty is N7000
A drum of brilliant white emulsion is N4500,
A drum of colored emulsion is N5000 irrespective of shades, bright or deep shades is the same.
A drum of matte emulsion is N14000.
A drum of satin is N18000 and a gallon is N4000.
A drum of silk is N22500 and a gallon is N4500.
silk has semi gloss sheen also but it gives a thicker film coat than satin.
The best for pop ceiling in terms of aesthetics is matte. it's flat with little roller marks and has soft sheen.
matte, satin and silk can be used for inside use and they are all cleanable. they are best used on screeded walls.
matte emulsion is better for external use. The wall may not necessarily be screeded but given a primer to smoothen the surface before application.
The rich black oil paint is N6000 per gallon. The keyword here is the rich. The resin binder would be the type used for road marking for durability.
I can match any color but the challenge is getting the correct color sample.
Phones give different shades from each other. The best is if I could send you my Sherwin Williams color chart to choose from or you can get hold of dulux color chart from painters closeby.
I will charge N400 per bucket and it's always easier and cheaper with high quantity but I can send a minimum of 10 drums.
Even after giving price here, it's still subject to negotiation as experience has shown that clients still negotiate for discounts which is in turn dependent on total volume.

Gbadexy abeg what do you professionals now call the old "oil paints" used in older buildings?

What are the merits and demerits of that paint. It seems to have faded in use nowadays.

spyder880:
The quantities of materials we bought on Monday for this very house are;

20mm pipes 7 bundles
25mm pipes 1 bundle
20mm couplers 2 pkts
25mm couplers 20 pics
Male bush 2 pkts
4 ways plastic box 2 pkts
3x3 knockout boxes 50
3x6 knockout boxes 55
U box 1 pkt
Y box 1 pkt
Gum 2 tins
Cooker box 1
Bending spring 2


But the actual materials your own house will need will be determined by your electrical drawing, and size of the building. It could be more or less than these quantities here. Thanks.

Spyder as always. Thanks a lot.
I know it won't be same. Mine is a 4bd dup so I go use this one arm myself make the guy do him estimate

Adedward:
haaaaba

And what's wrong with it, if I might ask? It's a bungalow remember! Adding the inside fence will require more work and more days. But you'll cherish the moments working together.

Babs612000:
It seems you are not residing in Nigeria.
How many people know what is DIY in Nigeria when there are cheap Labour.

I full ground for Nigeria.
With that quote (doesn't look cheap to me) I would rather go the DIY route.

My pals and I (3 in number) helped one of us re-paint his house (4 rooms interior).

I personally repainted my living room in one day with leftover paints I bought from Gbadexy January, 2016.

It's what you really want sha. Painting to me especially repainting is not a highly skilled labour...just understand the tips to avoid rollover markings.

Marpol:
Hi house I need your input pls, called a painter to come and repaint my house for the Xmas season and he is asking for 90k to paint inside, outside and inside fence of the premises.

It's a four bedroom bungalow and I will buy all materials for the painting.

I feel it's on the high side!

Why don't you and a few friends take a 3 day holiday and paint the house. After everyday have some fun in the evenings and Crack jokes.

DIY is fun and I have participated in a DIY house re-painting.

spyder880:
Electrical materials for conduit electrical piping. .....

Please can you share more details on these items for electrical pipping?

The items and their estimated quantities so that I can gauge mine if it's too excess. I could count 7 or 8 bundles of pipes from the pic.


I had searched for them under your "low budget 5bed duplex" but surprisingly I didn't find anything on electrical or plumbing".

mufutau55:
Bargain of 7k is really good. Make sure they get good wood.
I think I paid around 35k for each door then (2017).... I bought two variations/designs. (see below)

Hajji M.

Good looking doors.

I once visited a house where HDF (or MDF) was used for internal doors.
What interested me most was (I think...) that the door was made with one sheet of HDF (facing the sitting room) and the other side of the door was only padded with cut sections along the door edges, possibly to increase the weight and strength and definitely to hold the hinges and handles

I would assume such a door could be made for less than 30k.

Very good hotels use HDF (2 sheets or so) or so for their doors. It should be worth trying really!

topsy23:
should be thunder arrestor and flat metal tape be installed during roofing?
Ans: Yes the Thunder arrestor should be installed during the roofing to avoid leakage.

If yes, could the tape running down to the earth be stopped at the block level to be rejoined later (to avoid theft before full earthing)


Ans: The tape can be stopped at the block level and joined later to complete the earthing to ground using earth joint


MUst earthing be done before final electrical installations?

Ans: It Can be done during the cabling stage so that cable from EARTH PIT can be connected to Earth Bar/Distribution Board. Note that Earthing must be done on or before final electrical installations.

Lastly are their fake and inferior arrestors and earth rods so that one can avoid them and buy originals?

Ans: We have a lot of fake Lightning and Earth rod, If you are not familiar with the materials you will hardly differentiate the fake from the original.

NOTE: Separate the lightning arrestor from the normal earthing.

Thanks

Thanks Sir and God richly bless you

Good day Allcopacetic

Is there any particularly good brand of electrical pipes for conduit fitting into the walls?
Or what should I be looking at for good quality conduit pipes and accessories?

Greetings Topsy
Please what sequence do you suggest?

please help me critisize the floor plan,the architect is a nairalander and he will be reading also,thank you.

Excellent for me.
Good air movement
Good use of the irregularly shaped land.
Just tell him to add a window btw dinning and the kitchen.
Good positions of rooms.

If I were you...I will dash this architect money for 2 crates of beer

gabbytabby:
1. In the area they only sell fadala which is not sawmill full wood hence the pricing

2. I actually plan add on work at a time when the carpenter is due on site for a major stage hence when they come for roofing they finish off with frame for the cupboard and wardrobe amongst others such that this are then ready for the bricklayer during plastering saves on cost and saves on traveling as they are not from the area.


3. It's there the material ie bambo(oparun) is under roofing and the carpenter fees is inclusive. Under 7th stage lintel you have concrete for65k that is the caster for top linted I only use the machine concrete crew for my lintel work as they do it in a day and have a smoother finish. It's for all round chain lintel

4. 125 approx cos by the time they were plastering outside the tilers were also onsite using cement.

6. I had some windows from the bungalow that was pulled down which were reused and a tough bargain with my fabricator cos he gave a competitive price to get me to come away from my usual but then tried to pull a fast one but we were able to meet in the middle it's sliding windows with net.

I usually start off with a projection drawn up from initial negotiations knowledge of work to be done and sometimes wishful thinking. I started off with plastering labour of 250k then 350k but at 400 when I spotted they were trying to drag it on I told my bricklayer the finishing can be completed by him and 1 labour from 4 bricklayer and 2 labour.

It's hardwork when it was intense over the summer holidays and at times I really had to be brutal and get another person on site when they start their game of starting your job then after they think they have secured then they go off somewhere else and start giving you story that is dead on arrival.


4. 3.

You are indeed streetwise.

You are a true definition of "what a man can do..."

Your tips are invaluable. I like the idea of using the carpenters during roofing to also do some furniture work.

What "streetwise" tip will you give for one in the roofing woodwork to roofing to plastering stage?

gabbytabby:
The spreadsheet to completion is attached.

Costing attached to conditions below

This is for 4 units of room and parlour self contained and 2 units of 2 bedroom flats. Its actually closer to 14million in total.

1) I do have a lot of time on my hands and over 10 years knowledge behind me to do the costing and know what i do need at each stage. comes at a cost of 2.5 million
2) I self project manage and supervise all my buying. Cost of this is approximately 2 million
3) I virtually lived on site. 1 Million.
4) All professional fees are waved because this is phase 2 of a much larger project. Also because of these, stuff like borehole water was already on site. 1 million
5) We pulled down a bungalow and reused windows, roofing wood and filing sand all of which i already adjusted for in the costing. 500k

What i am saying is that if you are new to this and you get it done especially for you by others for approximately 7 million more you would have done well. True contractor cost would be in the region of 22million.

I carefully went through your expense log and must confess you did a excellent job managing cost.

I have some observations though I would want you to clarify.

1. The prices of the woods seem very very cheap. Is it peculiar to where you live? 2 by 4 was 420naira!!!

2.what was the need for 2 by 3 furniture wood under roofing to ceiling?

3. I didn't see cost for scaffold and casting labour for upper lintel.

4. Under your plastering, how many cement did you use 50 or 100? It's not clear

5. Super impressed you built and roofed this house with only 8 million

6. How did you achieve that amount for the windows? One will guess that that house carries over 25 windows.

But overall, you killed it at this amount!

Please what's the usefulness of these holes in the door attached?
I took the picture in a hotel in Abuja?

Essentially done with 15m all in for 4 room and parlour self contained and 2 two bedrooms it’s for rental and has a medium finish. Sorry no spreadsheet attach still recuperating I tire to the bones and under the weather.

15 million completed this house to fittings?
Pls share how you achieved that. Even if it's cost from the carcass level.
Good one Madam

money121:
Imported materials

Both 0.55mm and 0.45mm are okay for residential building..
But if the roofing is flat roof I will advice u go for 0.55mm

Builders favor local brand roof sheets like First Alum saying it doesn't fade at all due to very good color baking unlike foreign roof. Do you think so too?

gist4kidsblog:
Do you want Original Stone Coated Roofing Sheets or Tiles that will not fade or Rust?

Do you need quality stone coated tiles that will last for 50 years without rusting fade etc?

First of all what you’re looking for is the best and not imitation, you want stone coated roofing tiles that will give your home an edge among others around. It is very sad when you have spent a huge fortune on roofing your building and after 1 or 2 years you see it rusting or fading off. You will definitely not be happy after investing so much in roofing that building. This is why you must be very vigilant when making your choice as to which roofing sheet to go for that will give you good value for your money.

In this thread we have studied carefully most of the various types of roofing sheet out there and we have come up with analysis on each of them from their prices, quality and most importantly durability. Going with the trend, Stone Coated Roofing Tiles seems to be the latest in town with a longer life span. It is said to have a life span of 50years without rusting, fading off or cracking. Most user have also confirmed based on experience, the claim that the Stone Coated Roofing Tiles is sound proof.

Don't forget to call/WhatsApp Mr Ayyub on 080-85-310-359 for your original roofing tiles...

Location : Lagos State but we deliver nationwide

Please what's the brand of your metocopo roofing sheets? Is it foriegn-China?

What's your advice on selection of the 0.45mm and 0.55mm gauge?

yorubakid:
Ekoyi,Adani,adaba nkume and ejjor are not in nuskka

They are under UzoUwani...generally referred to as Nsukka (not necessarily Nsukka LGA)

Okay what of Lejja, Okutu, Ajuona Obukpa, Eha Ndiagu etc... where are they under? Are their roads wonderful?

I did a survey in Nsukka environs recently and I must tell you that the roads leading to communities like Ekoyi, Ojjor, Ogurugu, Adani, Adaba Nkume nd EhaNdiagu are he'll on earth during the rainy season.
We must be careful of what we celebrate as achievements else when a governor tars only 1 meter of road we will all go and give thanksgiving in church on Sunday

spyder880:
This roof is about 5.8 meters high .

Thanks Spyder and the total sqm of roofing sheets you eventually used?

EgunMogaji:
Good execution as usual Sir.

Thanks for helping with my roof calculation, you are a selfless professional.

Looking forward to collaboration in the near future.

Lucky you. I had asked for same and he is yet to oblige me. I will keep waiting

abdulwastecx:

Abdul what paint did you use for the dark brown design running under the upper floor windows and balcony?

spyder880:
This is slightly shorter than mine by just about 450mm. I was told this area is prone to high winds so we made a lot of effort to ensure that the roof is safe.

I also did some modifications to this house plan to make it more functional, I added a balcony off the master bedroom to provide additional relaxation options for the occupants. This new balcony was not in my own house.

So what was the height of this roof and the final sqm of roofing sheets used?

spyder880:
Meanwhile, we are bringing in wood for the roofing of this house, we are going to start treating the wood to prevent termites attack later.

Hello Spyder do you advice wood treatment at all times even if one is told the wood (Mango wood as example) is impenetrable to termites?
