PropertiesRe: Alternative Building Material (expanded Polystyrene) by gungab(m): 9:39pm On Aug 20, 2020
Can you do estimate for 51by24 ft building. Hit me up gurella007@gmail.com
Teewhy2:
With the current increasing cost in building a house in Nigeria, and with the Nigeria Culture/Mentality
“I must have my own House” a lot of Nigerians have been looking for various building material options which are relatively cheaper and perform the same function as the conventional ones.

One of such material options which I will be focusing on this thread is Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), This material is strong, durable, light weight, water resistance with excellent thermal insulation which is very popular in Environmentally “Green” Homes.

Expanded Polystyrene is an affordable and incredibly sustainable choice in the construction circle due to versatility and performance.

It can be used in construction as a structural base infill for example in floor Slab, Roads, Bridges Railway infrastructure, or as a structural element of its own, Roof Eaves, wall (partition), Décor Materials.

Structural test carried on EPS has showing that after used in construction for 30 years still remain strong as when first used.

I will be focusing on Polystyrene Roof Cornices (Parapet) in the next few days

If you are in a dilemma on the cost of constructing Roof Parapet for your building, or your building is located on a loose soil, I will advise you to go for Polystyrene roof parapet due to the following reasons.

It is Light in weight
It is cheaper compared to concrete (that is it eliminates the cost of wood form work both material and labour, less reinforcement)
It is faster and easy to install.
It is Neater than most parapet as it has been formed using a machine.

Let us look at how Polystyrene Parapet is installed

The proper way of installing Polystyrene is first to install a 2 x 2 softwood around the building area where the parapet will seat to take levels and also to make sure it is set on a straight line. In order to reduce cost you can make use of rope line to take reference between the two corners of the side of a building and when you are sure it is straight, then nail at interval of 600mm (2 feets) and place the parapets on it.

The Second stage is fastening of the Roof parapet to the open roof beam reinforcement ( less I forget you can either leave part of the roof beam reinforcement say 1” open when you are doing the roof beam casting or cast the roof beam after the Roof parapet has been fastening to the roof reinforcement with the aid of binding wire and nails).

The next stage is that a light casting of saying 1½” is done on the roof beam to cover all open reinforcement.

The Last stage is to screed the joints of the Roofing parapet to have a uniform and smooth surface.

Next time we will be looking at the cost of Polystyrene parapet as against in situ Parapet.

In the house, you can tell us about your experience using polystyrene as a building material either as roof parapet, or fill in for concrete, etc.

Sorry for the late response, bn engaged with my tomato farm in the past days & also sales of this current batch of Noilers raised.

If you are thinking December my Oga, please and please think Broilers. Nothing else will work.

Layers for egg production? Well, layers start to lay at around 20-21 weeks (5th Month) of age and continue to lay for 12 months.

Cockerels for me is a capital NO!!! But I have come to realise, it depends on market availability/acceptability.

Noilers, Yes!!! But won't make December market. No try am.
Thanks Sir
I will work on this

If the so called democracy ain't working.. Don't you think another system of government should be adopted?

The bottom line should be orderliness and progressive state of well-being in the country instead of a few idiots reaping what's meant for the entire nation.

What you think?
Democracy is good, just that the leaders has made life unbearable for the citizens down here which harden their heart

Yes, the type we practice here in naija right?

May I ask what birds you intend raising so I can do the calculations?
Broilers? layers? Cockerels? or Noilers?

I have already given hints above though.

Thanks for your response Sir.
Actually, I was thinking of rearing it for sale by December.
I would like to go for broiler, but heard they consume alot of feed and also waste feed.
Layers on the other hand is good if I can know when it will be ready to lay as I cannot afford point of lay for now.
I will consider Cockerel or noiler for now but do well to enlighten me on others breed

Thanks
