The 1.5mm green cable might be earth cable for the 2.5mm.

allCopacetic:
Look closely
Its 72 + 20
The 20 coils of 1.5mm green are listed separately (numb 3)

I guess he made a misake or mistook PVC for something else.

As long as you dont set it on fire (the fumes are very toxic), you are good to go with PVC.

Asbestos is what l know to be dangerous.



I thought same. Thanks.

....

1.5mm- 92 vs 60
2.5mm- 60 vs 48
4mm- 36 vs 13

That's about half a million diff , and it's a worst case scenario. Everything ultimately depends on your piping network and the size of your rooms . You could even "manage" 4mm for the cooker

Electrical works could be very tricky. It is not just all about the length or rolls of the cables. The pipping work plays a significant roll as well and the design, position and quantity of points or outlets: How many plugs per room, living room and dinning, fan points, security lights or not, side lamps at every wall etc will add up to the quantity of cable used.

Below is my outlay for a six flats. Mind you, my project is mix-mode: 2 units of three bedroom flats, 2 units of two bedroom flats and 2 units of one bedroom flat. Two toilets each in both the 3 and 2 bedroom flats and one toilet each for the one bedroom. Mind you, if you have all ensuit, you will consume more cable.

My outlay includes Generator point for all flats, A/C point for all rooms and living room and two points for water pumping machine:

QT................................Cutix Cable..................................................................Unit Amount.................................Sub Total

25 Rolls of 1.5mm-15 Red, 10 Black N5,500= N138,750

38 Rolls of 2.5mm - 14 Red, 14 Black, 10 Yellow N9,350= N355,300

1 Roll of 6mm N21,800= N21,800

2 Rolls of 10mm - 1 Red, 1 Black N36,000= N72,000

3 Rolls of TV Cable N3,500= N10,500

Workmanship 250,000

GRAND TOTAL N848,350

Can you do sometime about your labour cost? 600k? But be mindful of over bargain to rock bottom price as you may encourage the eletrician to cut corners to make up. There is a fine line between fair price and slave price. I hope this helps.

The pix below are not Cutix products but Wickes UK.

1. Go a size down for the earthing ( i.e. earth 2.5 with 1.5, earth 4mm with 2.5mm and so on)

2. Estimate the total lighting and power cables for a flat and multiply by 6

3. Optimally locate your meter points ( d/board is obviously already fixed in location ) to minimize the distance between your meter and D/board , it'll help save on load cables

To estimate the lighting and power cables:
-How many sockets .....per b/ room and living room?
-How many wall lighting points as per above
-Do you intend to have pop ceilings and hence pop lighting?

If the rooms are large, and you intend to have pop lighting, the below is an "approximate" quantity , i don't see it requiring more than the below though.

The load cable is listed already.... That's the 10mm

25mm, is that copper or aluminum for servicing?

***Edit, 2.5mm should be 48 not 32 sorry

Hello Abdulwastecx,

What partition wall material would you advise an office owner to use in creating office partitions? Some research suggested PVC is bad as it's not good for health.
Do you mind referring me to any good one?
Thanks.

ProTouchDesigns:
The first two are 3D wall panels not the regular wall paper sir.

PearlStreet:
Available

allCopacetic:
Ah, hajj that quantity no reach factory supply oo.
But In any case, I'll gladly oblige you regardless. Anything for the babas

allCopacetic:
Lol madam,
and you know this how? @ bolded

You cannot safely arrive at such a conclusion unless you know:

-if the connection to the D/board is single or three phase,
-The number of boards to be fed
-The distance (along the counduit path) between each board and meter/power house
- the generator set up and location. the 10mm is most likely going to be run for the gen aswell.

The question about the TV cable would be...."coils of how many meters each ?" .. 10 is obviously not practical anyways.

allCopacetic:
You might want to find out what brand and length you were sold first. coaxial cables are manufactured by many companies to different specifications.
the cores are in different diameters, some can have core conductors with cross-sectional areas (standard cable sizing) as large as 1.5mm2, though most typically range between 0.75mm2-1.0mm2
the insulator and flex mesh inside also differ in size and material. For instance coleman is about 14k, but is just 100m. A 300m variant of that same standard will cost over 35k

twinskenny:
305m

ProTouchDesigns:
I actually will say it's less expensive to an extent if it's the regular wall paper. But it's not like the margin will be that much. To use a regular wall paper will also require you have the wall plastered so as to bring out a very smooth feel and it's beauty. So you are only comparing paint and wall paper.

twinskenny:
between 12 to 14k

allCopacetic:
From that price he obviously has the small coiled, low quality variant in mind. The cheapest you can get for any kind of TV cable with a copper conductor core is in the range of 4k upwards....and that's from 70-80 yds up

Please kindly clear my doubts...Will the inner plastering of the building comes first before installing doors or is the other way round?

Thank

diordaves:
How big is the project? Why the hefty cost outlay?

Coaxial cable 10 coils? Are you sure that's not a mistake
