Nice Building. Silver or Gold, I have none but you can steal some ideas from this model design

This is a budget build. You can achieve the designs without breaking bank. You just need a smart and creative team.
Thanks

Am being charged 100k for a smaller structure can you give me the breakdown if it is not 2 much to ask to help guide me thnk you.
This is the breakdown on the amount I spent on the carpentry(actually it’s 70k not 80k as I earlier stated) . I had surplus remaining from the planks after they finished working.



Try to get more carpenters to give you estimates, take them to the site yourself, show them your proffered design. When bargaining the price for workmanship, slash their price because they’ll try to rip you off after all they believe you’re rich that’s why you want parapet. Don’t be in a hurry!

I dressed before roofing. Excellent job done. My neighbours regreted roofing before dressing the parapet
The person who did their parapet dressing dressing did a terrible job. Here’s mine completed yesterday.

wall screed 2m, damn


there is a very very cheap way to achieve dat with less than 50k (depending on the size of your project) and to me its best, becos it does not peel off after sometime like that of top bond nd pop combination

in south here, its called plaster screeding, WHY because, its goes along with your plastering

as soon as the walls is plastered and allowed to dry (to the point if you apply force on it won't spoil the job) you mix few quantity of pop cement with water nd add a little quantity of black cement nd stir properly

use a screeding brush to apply the solution on your plastered walls and smooth with sand paper wen dry


its very beautiful (very smooth nd cellophane like walls)
its the cheapest method you can get
nd it last longer than top bond method which paints usually peels off on most occasions


I used just one bag of pop cement for both inside, outside, and parapet screeding for my 4bedroom bungalow with labour not up to 40k. It was done by those doing the plastering


the attacted fence including the four sides inside fence walls (100 by 50) was done with half bag of pop cement. labour was less than 30k.
Can/Do your guys work in Benin?

I’m trying to decide what kind of 4” pipe I’m to use for my plumbing work.
The grey colored pipe with yellow tin line (naija) or the blue one.
I’d love to know the difference tho I noticed the blue one is longer than the grey colored pipe.

erico2k2:
cement will come down, do not forget they can't store it for too long, Demand will go down fast
Thats why I’ve decided to wait till there’s a reduction in the price.

My seller just informed me that a bag of cement will be sold 4,000 from monday. I’m postponing my plastering till next year, this is too much already.

At 12,500 it makes sense to wait a month or two and see how the situation develops..if it continues then look for cost effective and safe alternative.
I’m taking a break immediately I’m done with window fixing, burglary fixing and wall plastering.
