This is the quote they gave meMaterials
1. 5packs of Brush Bond FLX III @55,000 each = 275,000
2. 1 carton of TS303 200ml size @35,000
3. Transportation @15,000
4. Workmanship @1,500/sqm = 120,000(optional)

Total: #445,000
Judging from the workmanship fees,I guess the total square meter of the decking is 80sqm(120,00÷1500),but what I don't understand is;it the entire decking is open or where the Tank is??

Most people don't plaster both but this is poor and dangerous practice. The best practice is to protect the inner blocks from waste water and household chemicals which over time will weaken the already sometimes poor quality blocks. In such situation, you run the risk of collapse due to weakened blocks. So close eye and nylon plaster both to protect the blocks.
Sir, this septic tank caught my attention. Would you mind to explain why it was partitioned into 3 parts?. With this system, do you still need a soak away pit? Do you have a separate system for wastes coming from the kitchens and bathrooms?
I have a rental build that's expected to accommodate between 32 to 40 people. so, we did 14x6x10ft septic with soak away of 6x6x6ft. Both will take care of the poop. We are digging a hole of about 15 rings depth for the water coming from the kitchens and bathrooms.
I don't know if you have a better suggestion. Thank you.

It reminded me of a visit to mushin once when I was looking to buy 4" foam. I was laughed at for having expectations of getting 4" when I requested 4" our people feel entitled to cheat and they will keep calling Buhari.


kopell:
Imagine fake still short 30 meters, we continue to blame government. Can you post the supplier name to shame he or she. This cheating habit is in many of our people DNA. Getting rich overnight syndrome. Do these people doing these think of damage fake cables can do to someone investment? Just because you want to make few bucks, selling fake cables to someone that already invest millions on his property, to end up burning the building down because of fake cables. Are we normal ?

in addition to this question sir. I have a similar project which I’m delaying my decision on the septic tank. I would love to have this new system my concern is, there is no gutter in the area to discharge the waste water to. How do I discharge the waste water? I’m thinking of having extra space that can hold those waste water and later discharge them when the gutter is available in area. I hope the experts in the house can help explain this idea of extra tank to hold waste water and later discharge. Is this idea will work, to help make a better decision. Experts in fields let hear from you.

So Yesterday: A thief was caught in a street, closer to a site (that we're transforming~ interior). He broke through the fence of another compound just to gain access to a site, to steal Wires. Similar Situation at one of our site, broke through the Pop just to gain access to the building & stole the wires .
Last year , thief/thieves bypassed an heavily guarded Estate Securities just to steal Wires
Of course other things might get stolen. (Many Similar Stories also, here on this thread)

Ɓut what's this desperation with Wires.

Home owners Please Protect your Wires 000h!!! (Protect your Site/Building/Home).

Topsy23 & Twinskenny is there a hidden diamond in Wires that we don't know about!!!. (Sarcasm)
What they need is the copper . Copper is very expensive now and one thing that baffles me most is the amount they are are selling those cables .. The last one that happened on my site, the river all cables worth of 975k and sold it as scrap for just 25k .. imagine that. Unemployment is the main issues in this country.

Greed is the main issue. A boy that works as a barber stole from my site. He had a handiwork but his greed pushed him to theft

This is also mean that 1 asbestos board can cover an area of 1.44 square metres...So, if you can the area of the space that needs ceiling, there you get the quantity of ceiling boards to be used after factoring allowance for waste.

The price are okay but instead of buying TS303 200ml at 35k,You can go for 1liter at 2500per one(Lagos price) 7pieces is more than enough.
But another suggestion,Build something(commercial house) ontop the decking and roof it.instead of spending that much just to prevent the decking from leaking. I thought it's only where the Tank is that's leaking before.
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by QSFemi(m): 8:49pm On Aug 18, 2022
Fascia board that you loosely called facing comes in 25mm thickness by 300mm width with a common length of 3600mm in many parts of the country. While on Benin City, for instance, the length comes in 5400mm...Due to this varying length, the price also varies. Need I add that we've both softwood and hardwood for fascia boards. Softwoods are used for formwork while hardwoods are used for works such as roofing, furniture etc.

For ceiling purpose, you would need hardwood. The average price of 25mm x 300mm x 3600mm (commonly called 1' x 12' x 12 feet) is around 3300 to 3800. But for the longer length, 5400mm, it is around 5300 to 6000.

Can galvanized pipes carry the weight of the two water tanks at such heights?

Please seek clarification from that aspect first before costing.

orlaryhincah:
Hey guys,

Thanks for the guidelines here, you are all doing well!

Please, I need a review of these prices for a Water Tower. It is for a two storey building with 3 occupants but the Tower will have 2 tanks

Thanks

8 lengths of 3" galvanized pipe by 2mm @ #18,500×8 =#148,000
4 lengths of 2" galvanized pipe @ #10,500 =#42,000
5 lengths 1" galvanized pipe @ #4,500 ×5 =#22,500
2 sheets of 1.5mm checkered plate @ #30,000 ×2 #60,000
Transportation #10,000
Electrode and paint #8,000

The total cost of materials #290,500
