Nosa111: It should be enough. Just tell the engineer/carpenter to buy 30 planks and transfer after use to other areas to be covered. The job should be completed within a week. |

The system is called Bio Digester Toilet. It's an improved technology in the treatment and management of human waste and wastewater. This system effectively takes away all challenges that are associated with the conventional form of waste management. Once you have it in place, ✔you no longer call trucks to come evacuate human waste, ✔it doesn't smell ✔it doesn't attract flies or crokroaches, ✔just a small space is needed for it, ✔it's eco-friendly ✔and doesn't contaminate the groundwater. 1 Share

Let me say this, they take a long time before they allocate Also takes time with series of rules before you are allowed to build. They also try to frustrate you building independently which is almost impossible (Heard its now impossible) Let me stop there. The reputation on paper is kind of different from when you become committed financially. (Not that they are bad but their unwritten/hidden conditions eh). Similar to what Gracias and Revolutionplus do. (I have a land with Gracias that is yet to be allocated more than 6 months since I got it). Lastly, where did you see me compare? n3xt: 2 Likes |

somehow: Is it up to one year? I worked on a project in 2014. A plot of land was sold N45m inside the estate. Getting planning permission took almost 2 years but it is one of the most secured estate in Lagos today with zero report of structural failure or security breach. To give you an hint sir, the project was designed by one of the best contemporary architects in Africa (in the class of David Adjaye) but since it did not meet the estate standards, we just had to comply or take the project to another estate where anything is allowed. At a point my client almost gave up on the build but we pressed on until every requirements are completely satisfied and we got the approval to move to site. ____________ That an estate allocate instantly and do client's bidding every time they complain doesn't make them reputable. Even to put tenants in your own house that you use your own money to build in this estate is harder than taking up a job in most companies in Lagos. The tenants must submit their CVs and you as the landlord can't take a dime until the estate has interviewed and cleared the potential tenant. That's standard! |

[quote author=Dijita post=103618612][/quote] I can give you the same quality for far much less except for the stucco paint. The price of those brands are around that price. You can easily confirm the prices from their website. Even better still, we can give you perfect smooth finish like you aren't used to here with latex paint spraying machine. |

n3xt: That you have tens of rules limiting clients and having series of hidden charges does not make you more reputable than some of those who aren't doing same. This is my personal experience with them for the past 1 to 2 years. Their rules, delays, hidden charges etc aren't universal standard for the industry. So when people complain about some of their activities, they have a reason to. I have shared my opinion based on my experience with them which is not up for debate. 4 Likes |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by n3xt(m): 12:11pm On Jul 12, 2021 |
folmus: 2 bedroom that has brother and sister, right? Same approach works. Get few planks and tell the carpenter to do the job in phases. (eg. external beams and window lintels first; columns and balcony beams second; internal beams and doors last). Why? You may want to ask. The external walls/beams will use the most number of planks. You'd hardly require more than 5 - 7 planks to prepare your 9in lintel soffits. More of the planks will be used for the sides which can be removed 24 hours after casting to do other parts of the building. Your columns and balcony/terrace beams should be done after you've completed all the external beams and window lintels because your internal beams and door lintels will require a lot of wood cutting which might render your wood useless when you want to do your frontyard/porch columns and arcs if there's any. _______ As for iron rods, pls kindly tell your friend to try and get the best bargain as prices of iron rods aren't smiling now. _______ Give out the concrete and the carpentry work as a contract (one-off payment). Don't try daily pay thing, you'd end up paying more than necessary and the job might extend more than you planned.

gbadexy: Oga mi, do I need to do screening or do you have paint good enough to not require screening? Thanks. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by gbadexy(m): 1:25pm On Jul 12, 2021 |
EgunMogaji2:Not necessarily sir. If the plastering is decent enough, I could give you an emulsion primer thick enough to smoothen the surface for high sheen paint. 1 Like |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Valuepaints20(m): 1:35pm On Jul 12, 2021 |
HOW TO GET THE QUANTITY OF PAINTS YOU NEED IN PAINTING YOUR BUILDING Measure the length of all walls of the room, and add them together. Then measure the height of the room, and multiply the two measurements. For example, if the room is 4 metres wide, and 6 metres long the total measurement will be 20 metres. Multiply this by the height of the room, say 2.5 metres, 20 x 2.5 = 50 square metres. 2 coats will be required, so you will need enough paint to cover 100 square metres. REMEMBER- measure any windows or doors, to remove this from your measurement, which will reduce the amount of paint required.

EgunMogaji2:Yes sir. Primer would give you 25 to 30sqm per drum at the cost of budget grade emulsion price. Paint can't peel on it. Just imagine you applying paint on emulsion. The primer is formulated with a high solid content than regular emulsion could have. We used primers for internal and external of these projects. https://www.nairaland.com/4577731/ongoing-painting-pictures-nairalanders-lekki https://www.nairaland.com/5690061/before-after-painting-ibadan-project 1 Like |
