Nobody knows what safety measures you'll take to build a shed that will stand as cover for the electrical equipments you're installing for your change over switch and others.

Also spilled water over electricity is not good and if such is being built on a steel, you know what that means. We can't be too sure of whatever form of insulation you do.
Thanks.
Thanks for this suggestion, sir. I will seek more professional advise when i get to that stage soon.

Hello house,

Please share your thoughts and opinions about these plans before i pass to my architect for my drawings and progress

First picture is how i envision the architectural plan and house to look like. It will be 2 units of detached 3 bedroom flat separated by a wall, and all rooms having their own toilet. The plan is not drawn to scale, but each block of flat will have a width of 12meters and a length of 13.5meters. The shaded narrow rectangles depict the windows. The triangles with outward-curved sides depicts doors. T and VT means Toilet and Visitors' Toilet, respectively. WR means wardrobe. Same plan will be replicated for the second flat

The second picture is how i envision the house to be located in the compound, using the survey plan. The entire building (of 2 units of 3bedroom flats) will have a length of 27meters and a width of 12meters.There will be a setback of 1.5m from the fence on the right side of the building, a setback of 1.5m from the closes part of the fence at the back, a space of 6.5meters in front where cars will park (although we plan to build 2 shops that will likely a width of 3meters and a length of 8meters), and a space of about 3.3meters on the left side of the building.

Please, what do you guys think. Kindly advise me. I dont want to make a mistake

Please guys I need urgent clarification on this.

Do Tilers mix Tile Adhesive with regular OPC cement and sand?

My Tiler is requesting for both and it's very expensive using both and the Tile Adhesive he showed me looks like repackaged regular cement at 2500 per 5kg.

P.S: The Tile Adhesive he is using is called IBB Super Gum (I can't find it anywhere online)

Tiles adhesive doesn't require mixing with OPC or Sand, just mix with water. And it's used on cemented or plastered surface.
If you aren't convinced with the type he's using, you can get from Master Builder, Sika, Purechem, Costarchem etc...

Exactly what I thought. The walls are not well plastered and I suggested using OPC cement mix alone and they insisted on mixing with Tile Gum for better bonding strength.

Check the tiles you are using if it's clay back then let them use OPC
Gums are extra funds jare

For wall tiles (not floor tiles) especially when you have bigger size tiles, it is better to use tile gum as well.

Please does anyone know what is the best flooring to use in bathroom/toilet to avoid slipping when the floor is wet?

I observe that most houses in Nigeria use the regular smooth tiles and i am worried that this type of tile is an accident waiting to happen when the floor is wet especially if you have an aged that will be living in the property.

Any advise on this please?

Try travertine floor and wall tiles. They are the new luxury for wall and floor tile finishes. Slip and stain resistant too

Do you recommend that walls be plastered before tiling them?
