what about the noggin spacing sir?

?

iamblest:
We used it all up.no leftovers

Ok. The 12 bags of cement u used for the foundation is it both for blinding and mortar for setting the blocks?

iamblest:
Estimate of wood prices attached below

Did you actually use up all the woods bought or were there leftovers?

Op well done! I like your courage. What is the size of the house? And plz give an update on the number of woods used for the roofing. Thanks

Hi

BuildingEngr:
Like 700mm high (block + mortar). As for security wise, there will be burglary there too, its safe as well. its just a design away from the norm. Contact us on 07033876712 for further enquiries/consultation (WhatsApp/call).

. Thanks for the explanation. I like ur concept

BuildingEngr:
No, its not up to.

. Ok. So how many courses did you do it? And will it be safe having the Windows that low on a ground floor security wise?

BuildingEngr:
Its a five bedroom duplex... You're surprised the window is different from the conventional ones you've seen? Its a special design done for a client.

Which means it's not up to the usual 4courses from dpc? There's a reason am asking

BuildingEngr:
We design to your taste

. How many bedrooms is this? The ground floor windows look so down to the ground in my eyes. How many courses of blocks from Dpc to the window level?

Your works would speak more

Do you have any pictures of what you mean? Am as well interested

saydfact:
thanks for the compliments.

I used the old ceiling board in my building too -

to your question, the component that's responsible for 'cancer' has been eliminated by ISO a long time ago.... so it's safe.

A million thanks! Is it one type or it has different types so I don't get the fake ones. Again, I hope with it I can space the noggin woods 4ft x 4ft? Lastly, do you have any idea how much it goes for now? Sorry for bothering you oooh!

[quote author=Muyi002 post=78458917]Hi Saydfact,
Your post have been very educational and enlightening.
[color=#990000][/color] He is a special gift to people like us. I appreciate him all the way. Keep it up sir! I need ur advice on ceiling materials: I actually want to use the old ceiling boards but I don't know whether they are the ones they said is now the cause of cancer or what. Plz put me through as you usually do. Thanks

Nice build! What are the sizes of those windows?

Oga ur designs are not bad at all. But plz I want to know, is there anything wrong with flat roof? I truly like something different from the universal type of roofs. Can you plz guide me. Thanks

mountmoriah:
what is the length and breath of the building, so i can openly give you a quote here that will be justify and fit your budget.

If you can post your roof plan, it will be great for analysis and accuracy.

Points that matter to consider.

1. Do you have parapet on the building?
If you have parapet on the building, it will reduce the numbers of woods to be use and cost of capentry.

2.You have choosing stepped tiles, that is good, 2x3x12 woods will also reduce, because stone coated roofing sheets use more woods compare to stepped tiles.

3.The height of the king post you choose to use for the roofing carcass, will also determine the overall cost of roofing and covering, because it will increase or decrease the materials to be use.

4. The ceiling noggin spacing, if you are installing pop ceilng in the family lounge, and the rooms, and toilets, the ceiling noggin spacing is 2ft by 2ft, and it use more of 2x2x12 woods, compare to the pvc that use 2ft by 4ft ceiling noggin spacing.

Thanks, happy new week.

Can't PVC use 4x4 spacing?

ak22:
Please all the engineer in the house is anything wrong with this plan ?

. I think you should better ask for a 3 Bedroom bungalow design than ask for advice on what am seeing here

Ur designs are lovely. Do you have any 5 Bedroom Duplex that can fit into a half plot of land?

boyestic:
please what is an ideal price to pay for bricklayer for block work from german floor to lintel of 4 bedroom duplex?

. A lot of factors will determine= Location, Size of the house which will determine the No of blocks, The block size, Cost of laying the block size per one in ur location assuming you want to do it by counting using direct labour and the amount labourers collect for serving the masons per day. But it's cheaper to use direct labour if you have the time to stay around.

rotecch77:
It depends on the structure, in most cases not all partition wall required this, but all external wall must have it.

. Ok. It's a 3 Bedroom bungalow. I was thinking maybe there wouldn't be need placing it on the internal walls AT ALL.

Plz sir, educate me on this issue bothering me. During roofing a house, does the carpenter need to place the wall plates hardwood on all the walls or only on the external walls? Thanks

spyder880:
100 ft X 60 ft in most parts of Enugu. But you will find 100 X 50 in some new estates.

. Ok. Thanks. How many plots can we call a land that measures 150ft x 100ft? Location is Nsukka

What about Enugu state? What's their standard plot measurement?

What about the durability? What's is the difference between it and tiles?
