Have somebody staying there
You don't need to buy wires for the second time
I was a victim this was inside a City with houses (New Benin area )

Depends on the person though...my elder bros did same for his 4 story building, but at the end of the day, it was the person he kept in the building that was caught stealing and selling the wires.

Still in shock your Spanish tiles(blessed sunny)

Do you have glossy plain white vitrified tiles? If yes, how much do they go for and can you post some samples here? Thanks!

supajizy:


Ultimate tensile strength and yield strength are the most important for the design of a concrete structure. And the minimum recommended is 400n/mm2. So if you say local can carry more load and it has a lower tensile strength then you contradicting yourself sir. So I don't agree it can carry more load.

Okay

I don't mind having 7 Rottweilers and German Dog's on any of my buildings in Nigeria plus A pistol under my bed + Cctv camera everywhere, once l hear all my Dogs barking, l will wakeup like James Bond and Get ready to send any bastard thief to the great beyond.

My settling down full-time in Nigeria will depend on several factors and SECURITY WILL BE MY NUMBER ONE UTMOST INVESTMENT, security within and around were l sleep will be of utmost importance to me than anything, Stop them before they stop you is my Policy

If you start thinking about the security situation in Nigeria, it will keep you up all night.
It may seem that the best approach is to go home and hope for the best. It works for me.

But then I never knew the important of German floor o ( note I’m not cutting costs, I just don’t know about it) .. The building has reached roofing level and I want to use Gerard roofing with casting parapet .. i don budget 3m-3.5m for Gerard, woods, and parapet , nails , transport , workmanship ..

Ok, thanks for your response! It seems glossy plain white vitrified isn't so common...and this makes me desire it even more.

And more so can I do the Gerard roofing Before the parapet or vice versa ..

I’m new to it. I have no idea. Besides which is better , casting parapet or art work own

The work of German floor is very important in building because it will make the building healthy. My own suggestions is you have to follow the right track in building. Do not follow what others have done, follow the right track. Thanks

the building is already at roofing stage, that way what can be done ?

Nowar:

There is nothing you can do. You have to roof it since it is bungalow but have it in mind that your building is not well plan. Another point the foundation plastering you did inside of German floor can not work in storey building.

Nowar:

You have to do the parapet first before the roofing carcass and the stone coated covering you called Gerard
The parapet comes first.
You must choose between concrete parapet casting and precast parapet.

They both have advantages and disadvantages.

Yeah It’s bungalow not storeybuilding . I actually can put it up for sale if indeed it will bring problems in future ..
i feel very bad that I didn’t do the German floor sha..

So there’s nothing to do to help the situation now right ??

since you are at roofing stage or roofing level, you have to do the parapet before the roofing carcass, after the roofing carcass is the covering.

After the covering, is the pipping.
Plumbing and Electrical pipping, then;
Plastering,
Windows and doors installation along side the plastering, so u won't pay double price for dressing of windows and installing the frames of the doors.
Electrical Wiring
Plumbing Running
Ceiling (POP or PVC)
Electrical fitting
Plumbing fitting

This are bases before painting

Nothing will happen to the building but I suggest you use facing board so as to reduce the weight of the building

Thank you very much . I just learned new thing now that if the plumbing and wiring come first , it will make the plastering neat( they won’t need breaking the wall again ) and saves me money too. Thank you again bro .

Blessedsunny2:

do know that you’re talking to a novice here . What is facing board pls ( I just come accross this thread today today )
And I actually plan to run everything once ( the woodwork , covering and parapet) that’s why I’m asking and trying to prepare myself ahead . Thanks for taking out your time. .

@Nowar
In your post, there are two main concern to be addressed.

1. Many people did their house without German Floor, it is a good thing for it to be done. But you have passed that stage now. Your house will not fall or crumble because of that, have no fear.
Just make sure to do a good concrete floor before you do your tilings. Dont be too scared because you didnt do the German floor.

2. You probably cannot do any parapet now because we are not sure if pillars were introduced when ypur house is being built. And also parapet must be done before roofing. If you dont do parapet, it's not the end of life, roof your house normally with facing board.
If you must do parapet, the only parapet you can do at this stage is the aluminium parapet, and it can be done when you are doing the roofing.

I hope those addressed your major concern.

Instead of concrete Facing board you should use plank facing board to suppress the weight

Thank you very much sir.
1. I have not done the roofing ,
What I meant is that e remain make I do roofing
And I supported the house with pillar round ( the house have 10 pillars in total ) four each side , two at the back , where the foundation has 6 couches of block, I supported it with double wall round..

Below is the pics

I’m a young man , it’s a pity I have zero knowledge sha

Nowar:

Concrete parapet are more expensive compare to Precast Parapet

When you choose concrete parapet, consider the following.

You will buy woods for the framing of your design, and you will also pay the carpenters that will do the job.

You will buy iron rod for the work and you will also pay the welder that will do the work

You will buy granite and sharp sand and cement for the casting and you pay the masons that will do the work.

Materials you need for the concrete parapet.
Woods
Nails
Iron rods
Binding Wire
Granite
Sharp Sand
Cement

But for precast parapet
All you need to buy is few granite for beam, few sharp sand for the moulding, cement and workmanship, meaning you are providing Materials.

But if you don't want to provide materials, we also charge you per meter and the work is done, we would provide materials.

You spend less on precast parapet and more on concrete parapet

Concrete parapet is forever attach to your building.

It is only binding wire that is holding precast parapet, the binding will rust and weak in the next thirty years, it will fall.

Finally, u can choose any designs you want in both concrete and precast Parapet.

Thanks, hope you enjoy the Narrative.

Blessedsunny2:

in all honesty I don’t understand what you meant by facing board but I will go for pre cast parapet as they talk say that one too light compared to casting( concrete ).. if that’s what you’re talking about .. thanks
