Nero2424:finished with the project. I just think that the sumo is enough and no need for another pumping machine. That's why I'm seeking opinion of experts here |

somehow: It depends on how cheap the land is. Building detached 1 bed flat in Lagos mainland is not viable. One of my friend here recently raised 30 flats on 1 plots of land in mainland. 2 Likes |

cuddling44:sometimes at work, what you're actually paying for is the pace at which the work is moving. With the the machine, you will have your blocks ready in two days and can move on with your project. But with manual mould, two weeks might not be enough. So it all boils down to when you want to get the job done with. I remember someone giving me a job and asking me how much I want to ensure it's completed before schedule. He was willing to pay to make it happen. 2 Likes |

somehow: It's not completed yet so no subscriptions though I have interests from the train staff. I have two buildings at roofing stage. In my opinion it's worth investing into. Theres a shortage of proper housing in Nigeria. My focus is not even on people from Ibadan, my focus is on people from Lagos. I managed to fit three units (each consisting of One bedroom and Two Bedroom SmartFlats) on a plot. 2 Likes

cuddling44: Find out where you can rent an electric machine and pallets around you. No matter how expensive the person is, he can’t charge you more than 1,200 per bag of cement. Rent one and get boys to produce your block for you. If you’re too generous, you’ll pay 1,500 per bag of cement to the operator and labourers. The standard rate here in Lagos is 1,000 per bag. The man is just trying to sell block to you and not assisting you in anyway. Take note, if he’s going the block in his shop, he’ll still have to pay laborers to wet the blocks, stack it and transport it to various destinations. Producing at your site should be way cheaper. Maybe around 400k for the 2,000 blocks. _____________ If you’re doing hand mould, get a moulder that comes highly recommended. If they can achieve 10 bags a day, that’s a good one. _____________ Remember it’s raining season though. Someone looking to make quick money won’t tell you this is not a good time for experimentation. Give yourself a little more time for the raining season to be over. Buy all your materials now. Cement is cheaper now. Wait till after the rains to mould your blocks. If you’re sure of a fair weather though, just go ahead with your moulding. Wishing you all the best. 2 Likes |

n3xt: She didn't complain about space, hence, the presumption that she has enough space. Besides, one must not own a football field before one can mould blocks. I traveled home this weekend to see my parents only to meet the compound partly covered with blocks. What was happening? Our boundary neighbor was building and he begged to extend the moulding to our own compound which my parents obliged him 1 Like |

michlins: A lot of things are involved.especially the specs of the sumo. That is the major determinant. I have seen a sumo supplying 6 overhead tanks for a 2 storey block of flats, no additional pumping machine. Get the specs of the sumo and post and water depth.of the borehole. Also the pumping machine could be added later if its observed that its needed..no need adding it from the get go..since u are not sure |

I think I agree with you based on my experience. Base coat ready mix putty hasnt shown any sign of peeling or cracking but the cement screed used to round up the work has peeled on exposure to weather. 4 months now gbadexy: |

Please does this proposed process make economic and aesthetic sense with the increase in cost of paint... Prime the screeded wall with two coats of emulsion with intermittent sandpapering and then apply one coat of satin. I ask to know if dodging two coats of satin makes any sense. gbadexy: |

ceelog:That would give you a matte finish. The first coat would be absorbed by the underneath coat and it's the second coat that would give the necessary film thickness that would have sheen and be tough enough to be cleaned multiple times. 1 Like |
