tmt is produce with iron ore, not the rods produce with the helping of scavenging irons or rusted irons, and they pass SON test (Standard Organization of Nigeria) they are like the imported ukraine iron rod in the standard, just like they windows fabricators we normally says tower Standard for aluminum windows, but in actual sense this tower Standard is not tower aluminum product in Nigeria but the imported aluminum, they have close to or equal to tower aluminum in Nigeria.

The regular local rod like LCI and TOP steel too are like tmt, they pass SON test for BS:4000 they produce with imported iron ore, but majority of locally made rod are products of scavenging irons, damage cars, trucks.

Pickers or scavengers sources their materials for them to produce, at the end, the irons they will produce can't be compare to irons produce directly with iron ore.

I see u bro

The workers that source this you called (meta l/steel) recycler for the metal and steel they use, we see them everyday, day and night looking for steel and metal, because Nigeria refuse to open ajaokuta in kogi where we have abundant Iron ore.

At the end that is why 12mm, 16mm, 10mm local rods

below British Standard BS:4000

selling above N400, 000 per ton

While the LCI, TOP steel selling above the local unknown names.

Then TMT both 10mm, 12mm, 16mm will almost @N500, 000 before the end of the year if naira refuse to stand and continue to fall against the dollar.

Screeding contains mixture of cement, Screeding paint & gum. (You need to mix them together)

What’s the price for a plot, acre and 20 plots?
Is there a different price for each states?

The price differs from state to state, even within a state the price differs, but the price increases with land size, also the name (corporate or individual name) of that will be on the survey affects the price.

Thank you.


After the roofing, the next stage is pipping of both electrical and plumbing.

Note: conduit pipping is better than surface pipping. That is why it's better to use 9inches blocks, surrounding the wall of your building, 6inches for demarcation.

If your land at present is waterlogged, you need to wait till those water dry off to save cost of labor and materials for the soakaway.

The highlighted is lupin box.

Negotiate the workmanship and insist you will buy materials yourself.

After roofing, electrical pipping and plumbing, pop ceiling or pvc, plastering, electrical wiring and fittings, plumbing running and fittings, compound german flooring, painting.

After roofing the next stage is the MEP first fix i.e Electrical and mechanical first first fix.
Conduit works No male bush in the electrician quotation

Also what is the size of your building that the electrician is quoting 5pkts of looping box. That is equivalent to 100 lighting points

Criticism is welcome.


Are you using solid blocks?
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Tsuccesssquare: 11:33pm On Oct 05, 2021
Thank you so much for your input.

I actually used 6 inches for the surrounding, it's only the foundation part 9 units was used for, would full conduit still work?

The land is not water logged, it's upland.

Many thanks
