There are plenty on this thread alone if you take time to look.

Also, search the entire property section. You should seek the owner’s consent as well before lifting.

I wish very much appreciate anyone that have design of flat roof bungalow(3 flat preferably). Just the 3D. Thank you

Thanks man.

I know it’s not cheaper. That’s why we are only looking to use it in a limited area of an elevated portion of the roof, then surround the perimeter with PoP.

Will speak to someone offline that should be able to do it.

rotecch77:


Look for a very cool headed furniture man and show him this pics ( that is if you don’t have Builder that can handle such for you) and make sure you are always around to monitor it from A-Z if not you will not like the finishings outcome.

Material
- You can use imported pallet wood or furniture hard wood( but it must be well treated and seasoned) if not “dry rot” problem will act on it

—————
This is not cheap alternative to pop.
It’s a luxury ceiling finishing

You sell wood and stuffs.

Do you do wood work too or know someone that does?

Thanks

hslbroker2:
this very lovely

Thank you for your insights…

I will be shopping for tiles soon and already noting a few front liners from here to contact. I will also come to Odunlade when it’s time, so will let you know.

Which of the listed type above is most suited for external wall as a substitute for bricks?

Thanks

Hello chief,

I was searching for wooden ceiling and found this samples you posted recently.

Do you know anyone that can pull this or something similar off?

I need to combine wooden ceiling with PoP on a loft/pent, will be glad if you (or anyone for that matter) could point me in the right direction.

Thanks

rotecch77:


Currently the cheapest alternative to pop are many.
But the question is, can this match with your design of luxury home?

Some regular cheap common alternative materials to pop
- pvc ceiling
-ceiling board ( asbestos)
-plastering (plastering /screeding of under slab)

Luxury ceiling finishings
-pop
- special plastics/ Aluminum
- wood finishing
- special glass
-faux metal
Etc

Good day,
Was this sourced locally?
What's the brand, cost and supplier?

Thanks

EgunMogaji2:
How did I get along without a laser level all these time?

Good job.

This looks solid already by mere observation.

I have a case at hand where someone wants to raise an old stanchion further upward. It's a modern duplex that has been habituated for btw 5-10years and the tank stand was done with H-beam. Can it be easily extended upward to gain more head?

Thanks

michlins:
More pictures

Thanks man for taking your time to break this down further, knowing that you've done so here many times in the past.

I had posted before seeing that you've made a post which addressed some of the points, then you still went ahead to do a follow up even when you didn't have to.

I have to agree that your painters don't just go straight to work but take time to explain why they do what, it's clear to see that comes right from the top.

Much appreciated.

gbadexy:

Most part of my experience comes from feedback from my painters and screeders who are actually on the field and encounter various challenges.
My main screeder told me he doesn't like working with or building screeded with portland cement ( grey cement).
He said after a couple of years, they tend to peel and fall off. They have tendency to crack also, especially if cheaply done with little p.v.a binder added. If sufficient extra binder is used, it would be better but then how is that much different from the basecoat. Only the filler in basecoat is replaced with little cement as the pop emulsion used to mix it also has basecoat filler.
Cement needs proper hydration and certain thickness and with cement, pop emulsion and whateverbond, it would be applied light and I suspect dry fast without sufficient time to hydrate.
Besides, I've stated it here severally that cement forms a chemical reaction with sand (silica) by gelling them. Both on the block surface and the plaster mix and they don't form any reaction with calcium carbonate in pop emulsion used to mix them. They just act as a further inert filler with the calcium carbonate in such capacity.
It may hydrate itself and harden somewhat but there is little interaction with the pop emulsion used to mix it. The only thing holding it to the wall is the pva bond added and the amount used would determine the strength.
I posted a building that was screeded close to six years before the owner decided to paint it as it was white and looked painted and was used as a reference point in the area ( white house).
Perhaps p.o.p experts and screeders can shed more light to say if they have ever encountered basecoat cracking. It's what oyinbo people use in screeding!

Good concern you've raised.

While there are many ways to mitigate such effect... what do you reckon is the most practical approach from your experience?
That's without using a roof, thereby maintaining the contemporary appeal of the build.

Will coping the parapet make any difference?
That bland wall definitely has to be prepared to withstand weathering.

Thanks

UC92:

CUBISM
Nice rendering.
I like those Louvre like grill especially the one at the balcony, it will afford some privacy and good shades from sun rays.
What happens in the double volume space with high rise grill?
My worry is the weather effect on your parapet and external walls.

You've lumped up a lot of stuffs into that long second paragraph. Easy to miss or mix them up.

Pls can you seperate for clarity? Thanks

gbadexy:
Screeding is done to give a smooth and soft layer on a plaster surface and it can be further sandpapered to give a smooth finish that regular cement plaster can't give.
If you don't screed, nothing would happen as long as you aren't using paint with sheen but if you use correct matte with low sheen or silk and you don't screed or at least prime it to smoothen the surface, the reflection of light on the wall surface would highlight the roughness and other faults on the surface.

Yeah, its quite common to see cracks on external walls screeded with black cement.

Makes one wonder if the white cement or your suggested paint + sheen alternative would fare better for external walls in particular?

gbadexy:

I'm assuming you meant cement screeding ma'am.

Exactly.

Especially for external screeding. You've really been paying attention

gabbytabby:
Most cracks occur after screeding so I would say no.

But for cracks that occur before screding it will cover it initially.

CAVEAT: I am not a builder. You should probably listen to YOUR builder.

We leave carcass unroofed for long spells without issues.
We only do contemporary designs with flat/hidden roofs, which are only a fraction of the entire surface area. Plus frame structure always.
So it is continually exposed from beginning through the different stages and till the end.
We have all professionals on our projects 100% of the time.

Even after you roof, is weather (water/sun) forbidden to touch buildings for its lifetime?


Thank you.

somehow:


But it pools on the 1st floor decking (in some rooms), then forms vapor-like shapes (water ducts) underneath the decking (the ground floor.)

And what about the blocks with holes? It makes them strong too?

If i wanted it left unroofed for months, I wouldn't be here asking for the negative effects though..

Your response is actually an opposite of what I heard from other builders though but I appreciate.

think positive effect.. it gets stronger. it especially helps your casting, if any.
But at the end, try to fix the roof as soon as you can.

A few months of exposure to rain and sun cannot have serious adverse effect on your build. Just try to get the water to flow off and not pool on the floor.

somehow:
Building experts in the house,

Please what are the negative effects a building without a roof is likely to suffer if left that way for months due to impacts from the weather? (Rain and co).

DancingSkeleton:
for these doors?
I'm hoping to use wooden doors for the rooms in my project then a good foreign or local made one for the entrance. I just finished the pop fixing, door fixing is next hopefully.

Please can you throw more light on the picture posted?

Can those bricks only be used on the tracks or can be used directly on a wall.

Kindly expatiate, if you can.

Cheers

Thanks a lot.

Still valid. the chinese equivalent he got at 25k is way inferior.

Toks windshield for a 2010 Honda SUV (Pilot or CRV) was 35k two months ago.
So one should know what he's getting from a brand new chinko one at 25k for 2013 RR.

n3xt:


2013

And you think you got the same quality in the 25k Chinese equivalent?

Even a toks windshield for toyota or honda SUV don't cost 25k, let alone a RR.

erico2k2:

U know, I can tell that some persons never import anything into 9ja from their stories.There is nothing you wont find in 9ja mkt unless you dont look in the right places.my personal story, I dnt know if you saw my range rover thread: anyways I bought the front wind shield for nearly £1200, was going to ship it with the car, o n same day nah so I say make I shift the glass small make I put something inside car nah so I hear chaaa chaa cha, glass shattered, I was so upset and frustrated. I called my boy at Lagos to go and price glass for 2013 range rover sport cos I dnt wanna risk it again shipping it in the back nah so E come back say Oga nah N25K both fixing and buying, I said are you sure he said yes Oga nah Ware house, Chinese people get big factory here nah there we all dey buy any glass. Behold when I arrived I only paid N25k, the moral of my story is this. We have the best of the best in our makt in Nigeria for Nigerians, its just have to do with the size of ones pocket and they way you carry your self plus expectations!

Same here. Which part of ogun state are you looking at?

Maybe someone can share insights on prime locations in Ogun State? WIll prefer to limit to ijebu zones i.e. Ijebu Ode, Sagamu, Iperu and the likes.
Epe or Egba are out of reckoning this time around.

Jeff68:

Guy...which kind of yarn is this?

This bolded line is completely unnecessary and uncalled for. If this is a pointer to how you're tackling the issue offline, then it may explain the other party's seeming lack of confidence in your efforts.

You don't want to stake your good brand against this fiasco and wish it away. Is it really worth it? Pls think of this critically.

Pls read up on vicarious liability.

twinskenny:


With due respect sir. From the beginning you don’t want to take any responsibility at all fine I make mistake by helping you inform of recommending someone to help with your bore hole… what you sent through me has been used by the guy for the purchase of materials and foe the little work they did… I don’t kenos why you are still bringing this up… the matter is at the station already, I show you the receipt of 20k I paid for his tracking… you never one day take the initiative by yourself and look for this guy… you claimed the balance is 100k… I transferred 50k to you paid police 20k… what else do you want me to do?

The same guy did my Borelhole and as of today the borehole is no longer working due to the fact that he used a wrong pipe or so…

This will be last response on this issue.

From day one you were never there or have a representative to monitor them before he packed his stuff and left your site.

And I specifically told you don’t allow him to leave with all his equipment back then…

This is sad to see someone practically begging for his own money back just because he is being a gentleman.

Bros, I think at this point you’re being taken for granted by both the contractor AND the middleman.
You also seem to have an exaggerated perception of this “house”. Hope you’ve learnt it counts for nothing.

You should either do what others have done here in such cases with success or use street OT to deal with it, otherwise na voicemail.

I feel your pain and loss.

micgray100:
I understand your point bro... But if only you know how long it took me to get the 100k put together as a civil servant .. I am sure your so called street will help me cry and refund me to go in peace...
Some of us contribute as low as 25k every month from salary just to build a simple structure.. Oga flexyonline... as a street credibility sure guy that 100k is nothing to...please kindly help contribute a token from the 100k in contention left...
