No, 2nr of 2Hp sized AC is the most adequate, widen the closet entrance door to have maximum conditioned air

I actually don't need conditioned air in the closet. I even wished there was a door that separated it from the room so cold air doesn't escape inside the closet as nobody lives/stays there.

Oga BrickDevo you would have giving some days like 2weeks before bringing the matter here. The time is too short anyway. Thank God you even have his nairaland username, I have done MEP drawings for a client on this forum and decided not to pay one kobo . I printed the drawings, stamp with Coren seal, bind everything together and handed over all the drawings to him including the PDF. He sent somebody to come and collect it and promised to transfer my money immediately he received the hardcopy. Since last year July the man did not pick my calls again and he also block my all numbers. He is from Nairaland and i don't know his username.
Its so sad, not to know his Nairaland identity of someone like that. What a shame on him. Those are the 419’s that are giving clients bad name. Wumi wasn’t far from our memory with Imuran roofing. She flee with his 2 million till date. FYI information that lady is a professional 419. Her husband, kids, don’t even know where she live.

Okay, but I feel there's a need to have a reasonable thermal comfort within your livable space,

On a more serious note 2Hp(1nr) can not conveniently cool that space (master bedroom), it's cheaper if you can make provision for 2 ACs either in terms of sleeves or piping to avoid breaking of walls in future, with this you have nothing to worry about anytime you feel there's need to increase

With due respect sir, do you supply paint with 75 percent up front payment and you will get your balance after we have done review with the site engineer?

He has supplied paints to me @Imo state with 50% up front payment, and the remaining was paid after my inlaw counted and confirmed the number/quantity

That counting/confirmation is equivalent to the review the client in the above case is talking about.

Your main concern should be for this review to be done as soon as possible.
I don't understand why you guys are still dragging this simple issue.

In fact, if i had reviewed my tiler's work(done in july) by myself, i wouldn't have paid him his full money. The guy did a generally messed-up work and snapped only the good part(because he wasn't monitored).

Nigerians are not always the kind of people who can put the best of their professionalism and skills into their work without close monitoring, when compared to the Asian/other African artisans i see where i live.

LoL..... Run OOOO!

Those ones are rookie scammers.

If you want to buy these bricks I usually see them at orile, last time i asked there were priced around 7,500 -7,800/sqm.

The bricks are everywhere but their prices are low compared to the ones in the market..

Please is one 2HP Inverter AC manageable for this Master room?
Note that the door has been moved from right after the stairs to the main entrance of the room itself (after that sink) so the lounge is separated.

To calculate the size, simply multiply the length times the width of the room or area to be cooled. Then, as a practical number, multiply that total times 25 BTU. This allows ample cooling, whether it is a rainy, moist day or a hot, sunny, humid day. Let’s say the room is 12 feet wide by 15 feet long. That means 12x15=180 square feet. Take the 180 sq. ft. times 25 BTU per square foot and you get the minimum BTU air conditioner you should buy. That means 180x25=4500 BTU cooling capacity is needed

the BTU rating is usually written on the outdoor unit side of the AC, or you calculate it.

15 – 19 sqm. 7,500 – 9,500 1.0 HP, so one can infer that you would need minimum 3hp ac for the space, since its 54sqm

and I'm sure their quotations were not scrutinized back in the day. If you told a client it's 16mm rods that is required he has no authority to argue. Look at the pyramid of Egypt, built with so much precision and accuracy because it was slaves working then and they knew the implication if they get cute on the job. Thousands of workers were exercuted to out fear into the others and compel the to do the right thing. The only question then was if you are qualified for it compared to today where a client tells you that baba suliat has built 4 girls hostels and has 20years experience in construction. Brace yourself up for more building collapse in the future, we are even lucky today there are more safety implementations so on an eventual building collapse it will be 10-15 persons dying because back in the day when a stone weighed as much as 80kg, a whole lineage was wiped out in a single catastrophe.
How fr? Concerning the drawing I wanted.

Thanks very much for your input. There is actually provision; piping and wiring for 2 ACs, it's just the cost if buying 2 ACs for just our room that's a thing. But I'll buy a 2 HP first and see. It'll be at the position right above the bed. As much as we don't like heat, We actually don't like very cold AC too. We hardly ever set them below 24.

Good day house, is it true that step tiles is prone to leakage

Yes if u are using a lower gauge, it is better you use 0.55mm for stepped tiles if you want to afford leakages.
