I don’t know why we like to use price to kill ourselves. If you need boards visit ogunnpa, néw garage , oke bola close to madu where u will get original locks with various prices. Make we Dey take an easy Dey slice clients neck with price ooo

Try to get the current price of HDF board..

How many board do you need for a 3ft x 7ft door with frame and architraves?

Board size is 4ft by 8ft

Board 1

Front cover of 3ftx7ft..

side 1 frame...

Board 2

Back cover of 3ftX7ft.

Side 2 frame.

Board 3

Architraves...
Carcass....

Averagely, you need 3 boards for a standard door....

uncleteeh:

Few observations I got here.

The floor plan alone cannot be used to determine the cost, roof plan and sections will be needed.

If possible, bring out the sitting room wall a little because of it window, they are far from ventilation.

Nomyth:


Hello, what part of these did u do?

Is it the furniture or the total package?

What is the total cost spent on the kitchen?

After watching this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwn0Vjw_ji0

and also this other video, I perfectly understood why we have those problems with houses in Nigeria


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKp0wRzvR-g

This time around, unlike the last time that I worked with the walls above the ground, this time around, I am excavating the foundation of the house and rebuilding it.

I am just stopping short of bringing down the whole house.

I am pained that a trained engineer NSE product was arguing with me with the concept of providing a 6 inch gravel base before laying the DPC and then pouring the concrete slab on top of it, after everything I read, not only am I laying the concrete on top of the DPC, I am ordering insulation from Vitapur.

The Professor from Minnesota made it clear that you must do everything to ensure that your concrete slab never makes contact with water and that includes creating that gravel barrier.

Meanwhile this engineer was telling me that the practice is to make a bed of sand and then tile the house, my plan was to create a granite base, then place DPC, then pour the new concrete floor on top of the DPC, which plan has now been amended to include two layers of insulation and and two layers of DPC.

I am also building another barrier before the outer walls of the foundation and ensuring that I include something in between the new foundation protection walls and the proper house foundation to act as an air and vapor barrier.

Sorry for security reasons no pictures, I will provide heavily sanitized pictures later on.

sonnie10:

Can you do that one that has like metal rib design in between the joints? I will find picture of the sample

By the way this is one of reasons many don’t give there prices here.
All these counter lower pricing once someone else states their own price is just some how.

KolaShangOne:


I understand. I have a fair picture in my mind.

The way yoy want to do it is the standard practice. Instead of gravel base, it's even supposed to be hardware base. Then the DPM and wire mesh before the DPC.

But because of the cost of the process, sometimes people take shortcuts.

This your Engineer that said you should just put sand bed and tile it, I'm sure he's from Benin. I've seen funny construction in that place.. I hope you verified his certificate?

I remember cutting down an estimate from a Benin Engineer by about 40% and he was shouting that the house would collapse. He had even done foundation without oversize concrete.

MDF board is 12,500_13k while Hdf board is 25k_27k.Hdf board is stronger,more durable,more quality than Mdf board.Two board would finish a 3ft door. But the secret is,let a Pro handles the installations.

There is no Where in Nigeria you will get HDF for N13500.

HDF Block board is Sold for N16,000 - N17,000.

Quality HDF Straight Board is sold for N18500 to N21000

MDF Board For N13,500 to N14,500

Why Marine Board goes for around N13,000. Here in Lagos

This Price changes always due to Dollar Rise, Availability of some Certain Colors or scarcity.

Doing a Quality Door cost over 2 Boards, let's say 3 Boards which you will have like 20 - 30% offcut from the 3rd Board

You will buy Think Edge Tape, Glue, Evostic Gum, Nails, Inges and Locks.

Cutting and leaping per Board is between N2000 to N3000 depending on the Machine or Company you are using to Cut, Transport etc.

How much do you think is left from the stated amount.

A good Quality door is Expensive. Your advice is Only welcomed to Customers who can differentiate between the different types of Board and who can Supervise the whole process of building and installing the Doors to avoid settling for Less!!

I once Handled a Project at Lekki where the Furniture Job was given to other person's and I saw how the Furniture guy mixed both HDF and MDF for the Door's. This is Lagos I had to Mind what took me to the Site. Less than a Month when I later Visited the Site 2 Door's were already Fallen out from the inges. Why Because they Screwed the inges on the MDF Board. Those Door's were taken out and had to do another one.


My point is this Quality Differs so as to being Pro at what you do!

Hello house, Please i got this quotation from iron bender. Is the workmanship charges okay? The materials are on ground

The city is ibadan

Joe82834:
Currently have a project in Abuja . A penthouse with 3 rooms down and 2 on the first floor. One sitting room down and a smaller one up. Currently doing the foundation to dpc level. Asked the Engr to give me an estimate for what it'll cost to take it from dpc level to just b4 decking and he sent this. How fair is this pls. This is my first project though.

I asked for this because I was considering doing the one bedroom at the back of this immediately after they finish the ongoing work to dpc level so I can stay in this one bedroom and finish the main building overtime.

RayRay2022:


We did offer to get the materials, and the contractor was demanding 3million for labor and supervision. The block setting does not cost 100 per block. Or is pool block setting different? From block setting that cost #30/40,But to be clear I could still opt for a 13*11 size but com on 10 million?? It didn’t even cost us that much to build the Guest house including hall. 10 million that’s unrealistic.

This guy is a real engineer, he came to my house earlier this year to use my uninterrupted power/internet to defend his certifications so that he could be chartered.

It took two days as after spending the whole of the first day, it was postponed and actual held the second day.

Engineers should understand, they do it over zoom now, they used to do in person before.

I am happy to learn from you too. I can see you have added more information.
