That is very true, I went back this morning to buy six 2ft6 doors for 90k, 15k for each. I was going to use aluminum doors for my bathrooms but they were way too expensive. the aluminium doors would have cost me about 170k.

timesup234:
At Cooke road but your contact matters alot. People are still buying over 20k, you dont expect them to tell you the actual price once they sense you are not aware. It is business, cheating is part of business

timesup234:
Those doors are sold for 16,500 each

mufutau55:
How much each for those white doors? Thx.

Wow!!! Lovely six panels white doors.

Mrmarley:
UPDATE: Plastering started yesterday and that are already done with the inside of the house, I will go and buy the doors tomorrow and the windows will be delivered on Friday. We decided to dig another soakaway at the front of the house for the security post and the visitor's toilet alone.

Mrmarley:
I bought the doors today and it’s they are been installed. The window will be installed tomorrow.
Spent roughly 500k for all the doors.

Mrmarley:
Yes!
they used 10mm to chain is round and binding wires. the iron used on the parapet was way more than that used for the lintel

Follysho777:
@Mrmarley. Do you use/put iron-rods inside or when hanging your parapet?

galaxi:
I guess you are still following this post to see the progress and also learn how the above money is been spent as the house is been build to a good standard.

Mrmarley:
roofing has been completed, I settled for classic metro tiles, it was quite expensive but I am happy it came out fine

Mrmarley:
I am sorry I have not been here for a while, It has been a busy week for me. The parapet is done and the woodwork for roofing has begun. I had to sack the parapet Guy and hand the work to another because he was delaying my work on purpose, just so he can squeeze out more money from me.

Estimated for wood fell at 622k for the wood ( wood + spraying + transport ) and the workmanship was agreed at 200k.
It was the least I could get.

I am undecided on which kind of metro tiles to use for the roofing. I am sure the total square meter will help me decide because I have a budget I do not plan to exceed.

martinz1414:

Mrmarley did you use the 5inches block in the inner pattition of your dpc also? Or you used 6inches all through for dpc and 5inches for the inner partitions after dpc level?

abouzaid:
congratulations on your build,however what gives strong walls is more about the cement and sand mix ratio used do the concrete blocks and less of whether they're hollow or solid blocks. less sand would give stronger blocks. ideally, concrete blocks are supposed to even contain small tiny stones which when mixed with sand and cement would yield very strong blocks. unfortunately. this is not the practice in this country.

CircleOfWilis:
Following...good job

Rubbiish:
Is the op making use of sandcrete or concrete block?
Aren't u mixing it up sir
Structurally, 6inches solid is stronger than 6inches hollow...

Mrmarley:
Close to 4m minus land. But then I have paid an upfront for the windows.

Newboss:
Please how much have you spent so far on the building?

twinskenny:
good job man moving really fast

in case u want us to help run the electrical..

thanks

Mrmarley:
Well well, I decided to go with the PRECAST parapet. We are moving thing as fast as possible, I think by tomorrow should be done with the block works and the PARAPET guy to can start hanging the pre made cast ( depending on how many casts he has on ground )
I am trying to be meticulous and think way ahead, so I am asking.

1. I need an estimated value for roofing ( wood & aluminium )
2. How much will a 4ft & 3ft Turkish Door cost?

Mrmarley:
We are at lintel level now, pictures attached!
I am having difficulty deciding what kind of parapet to do.
I am seriously thinking of going for the PRECAST but I am told CONCRETE is stronger.
