Yeah, you're right Sir...but for me, as long as the money is coming from my pocket, there are certain things I'll want to choose for myself, and tiles are definitely one of those (make my eyes no come dey scratch me everyday as I dey look the tiles). I'd prefer to involve my wife at the interior decor stage, which is easier to redo if needs be cheesy

A personal house should involve the madam of the house when it comes to the interior.

You'll enjoy the house if they were involved in the making (interior).

Love these...almost my preferred spec, except they aren't Vitrified. Do they come in larger sizes or these are the largest out there?
Largest size is not quality, quality of tiles is most high grade productive of it, this 80by80 super Polish porcelain with high quality and thick gauge also first grade of porcelain Spanish product.
There many sizes but this only plain white glossy porcelain Spanish product that l have in stock.

I wasn't asking about a higher quality sha. I just wanted to know if those tiles (with same quality) come in larger sizes. I prefer larger tiles...the bigger the better for me; in fact if it's possible to do my entire floor with a single piece (no demarcations at all), that'd be my preferred flooring option cheesy

We work together in everything, but the buck stops with me. I make the final decisions. For instance, she prefers a black tile, I prefer white...her only reason being that black can mask dirt/stains, while my reasons for white included brighter interior, cooler temps & ability to match with any interior decor...so I won on that aspect. If she had provided a superior argument, of course I'd have gone with the black.

Others may have a different way of doing theirs and that's completely ok too.

If they are doing their piping themselves they have have to resume immediately the electrical guys are doing their piping which is the first stage. But if they the electrical contractors is providing pathways for them they will only come in during the cabling. Stage

Ok, thanks for the insight.
I would love to add CCTV, fire alarm, internet networking and solar to my build and I'd like all piping to be conduit, but my problem now is that I have already done concrete fascia and also external plastering, so is there a way of working around this?

You worked together which is what I meant.

Decision was taken after both opinions got compared based on merit.

So yes, you didn't dictate even though you're the boss grin

The conduit pipe can still be done with the of cutting machine rather than using chiseling to avoid cracking on the wall

So for the outdoor CCTV, how do you pass the pipes through the concrete fascia? Can the concrete fascia be avoided by maybe passing the pipes directly through the wall or through the windows?

Yeah I get the idea, but I wouldn't want that on my roof, well at least not after the finishing anyway. I see those ads on some finished buildings, and I'm wondering whether the roofers are paying the owners for them... grin

So long as work is on-going, the contractor can do that and do have a 'right'. It is international acceptable best practice. Contractors are supposed to sign post their projects eg:

Financed by First Bank
Roofing by Money121
Resident engineer - Engr Baba Lati
Architecture by Mr Sunday ( Draughtsman City & Guilds London)
Etc.

I'll disagree with you Sir. Pictured is what I've seen as standard in the USA. Sometimes they have lawn adverts if approved by the homeowner. In Nigeria anything goes.
