Thank you for your input. The current is not below 100 Volt. Okay, I will lend a stabiler around to teat run it.
baaliyah:
How low is the current? If it's too low, below 100 volt, 5 or 10Kva stabilizer won't step up the current.
If you could get someone to lend you a stabilizer to testrun your home, If it works fine, then get yous
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by henrymor: 2:16pm On Oct 24, 2022
Okay. I hope it will be able to power everything I have in my house including the washing machine, AC, freezer, fridge, microwave, heat extractor, pumping machine, and water heater.

If money is not an issue, go for the central stabilizer

You will have to jott down the watts of all your appliances or maybe explain to the seller, he'd be in the best position to know how many wattage you will be needing for your house.

Good morning guys,

I need suggestions and advice on increasing the electric power in my house.

The current in my area don't even power my inverter ac conveniently.

So, some one suggested that I can buy a 5000w stabilizer to stabilize and increase the current output in my home.

Another person said there is a central stabilizer called prag or A&E that can increase the electric current power in my house.

Please, I need help ooooh

What should I do?
I have 2 questions to ask you based on your comment above .

1- Did you check the voltage reading on any of your small stabilizer/voltage regulator you have at home the value of supply voltage ?
2- At peak period i.e between the hour of 5pm and 9pm you need to check the value of voltage to be sure of peak period voltage.

If you plan to get the central stabilizer, we must know the total load in your house e.g.
-Number of AC
-Number of water heater
Number of lighting point
-Number of socket .etc

All these are required to get the rating of stabilizer required.

You can not just jump into 5000W for a central stabilizer when your building is a duplex or tye total load is 10,000W REMEMBER it won't work.

Also, we need to know if your connection to your building is 3-phase connection or single phase connection . It won't be advisable to install single phase stabilizer if you have 3-phase equipment in your house ... It will not work.

Your choice of stabilizer voltage range will depend on the minimum value of voltage in your area. Some stabilizer voltage range is low as 90V - 230V while some are
100V - 230V,
110V-230V
Etc

I went to my site today..flood enter inside the house of those around me..it entered my compound but did not enter the house..when I did the high foundation way above the road , the neighbors said I shouldn’t had, as flood doesn’t get to the area, but this one taught everyone a lesson.
I think high foundations should be done more in Nigeria.
You made a good decision by raising the level of your foundation✓

Godspeed on your Project.

it is a 5 bedroom bungalow, spent more than 5million , minus the land… filling of foundation alone with sand cost me 1.3million.
You should have done the German flooring.. it will probably take another 1.2 - 1.5m naira. It helps.

It is only possible at 5500 today, might even be higher by December if exchange rates increase. If you have the cash, buy what you need now and keep. Exactly this time in 2019, a carton was 2550
The bolded scares me!
Would dollar rate get to ₦1K lipsrsealed

I really didn’t know anything about German flooring till I began searching on properties on nairaland, I nor even know say section for buildings dey nairaland..so to your question, all the houses over here are built without German floor,to be fair “all I have seen here”, so I guess the engineer just went with what’s rampant..I already told him to include iron rods and the black waterproof( I found that out from here) when we plan to floor the grounds.. he said it wasn’t necessary but I insisted o…though we chained the whole buildings round, both inside and outside before filling with sand.

The foundation is high .. kudos to you boss

Rapunzel403:
Nice building you got, please how many coaches of foundation block did you use?
Did you also do a horizontal beam and German floor?
Can you estimate the number of blocks you used from above German floor to lintel?
I'm building something similar although mine is with a penthouse I just concluded German flooring.
I posted some pictures sir, I don’t know it they will help your questions, but we did not do German floor, i intend to still do it sha..here is a picture so you can see for yourself the amount of blocks
Oh I think you meant in total, I can’t really tell..I am not a very careful person..but we molded about 90 bags of cement,(a bag for 4100) with each bag producing 35 blocks..it was enough till lintel and few left .

yes o..it was at same level with the road, but I had worries for the future and I told them to add more blocks on top..so it was way higher than the road..wasn’t easy as 10 tiers of tipper sand sells for 34k over here..I bought 40 trip of the 10 tiers.

It was a wise decision, every of my neighbors packed out..water entered inside their house..this was 4 days ago, but the water is receding now..thankful.

the framing was totally wrong. Very few people know how to make use of such frames. It should be cut in an angular form not the way it was done
You are an expert and know better...you can tell the fault just by looking at it... My own is to pay, I know nothing about how they make the doors.

Sir, I still fear what your area will look like in five years. Flood is getting worse every year.
Places that were free of flood few years back are being affected

my thoughts exactly..I reassure myself with the thought that it’s because the dams were opened reason it got this bad,lol, flood does not affect these part of town normally..it has never been like this before, so hopefully it will remain dry as long as the dams are closed..my place was way better, we could still access the roads and drive in and out or use bikes..most streets are still making use of canoe as of this moment and some water covered to the windows and some roofs..in all God go help us.

I have a question please. I have bought my internal doors but POP is still going on. There is some leak in the roof that's delaying them at the top floor. So while waiting for that, we decided they should install the internal doors, but the tile person said it's better to do the tiling first before installing internal doors. Note, the doors are WATSON doors.
I asked some people and they said it better to put the doors first.
Please which is best to do first and why?

You can’t do German floor properly at this stage. After filling the foundation, the continuing blocks are supposed to sit on the German floor.
