Well u have to check it out so as to verify your taste. with the calculation i gave, u should know the amount of plank that will be enough for u .

akeensbussy:


I don't know how much they sell plank in Benin but let me tell you the best method to adopt.

buy 2by12 plank at the sawmill here in the southwest, it is btw 1800 to 200 naria. Tell the to cut it for you in 2by3, 2by4 and 2by2.

four your four bedrooms, get 300 planks of 2by3 and 2by4. that is 120pcs of 2by3 and 180pcs of 2by4 for the main roofing. then get 120 pcs of 2by2 for your logging.

one 2by12 plank will give you 4pcs of 2by3 plank or 3pcs of 2by4 plank or 6pcs of 2by2 plank.

for the roofing, u either use Alo zinc or slate.
Alo zinc is 22,000 naira per bundle (15pcs) while slate is 1,220 naira from distributors or 1,050 from the company (Nigerite). For the Alo zinc, by 10bundles, which is 150pcs while for the slate by 200pcs.

Reason is that Alo zinc is 3feet longer than Slate and 1 or 0.6foot wider than slate.

buy 1bags of 4 inches nail and half bag of 3inches nail. buy slate nail, it comes in packet, buy 3packets, buy Rinches 20pcs. The rinches is inform of aluminum and it straight. it will hold the slate or Alo zinc at the center to prevent water or rain.

buy Agba 30pcs( 100naira/one). Agba is what we call it here but don't know what u call it there. long tiny iron rope to pin you roofing to the house.

buy facing Board 20pcs(1500 naira south west price)

Go and buy all this your self. ask the seller if there is any other things u need to buy.

After buying everything take it to ur site and call carpenter and negotiate.

if carpenter tell u 50 naira u price it for 20 naria till u reach ur own satisfactory price.

I paid 35k for my own workmanship.

You are the greatest man right now on NL. This information will definitely help me save cost on the wood cos the useless carpenter was already saying my house will consume almost 500k for wood like say na holiday resort i dey build.

The only challenge i have with bundle aluminium is all the ones i have seen are rusting just like corrugated iron sheets. Please if you habe any other sweet ways of saving costs, please share with the house.

Please whats d unit of measurement for the 2x12 (feet, inches etc)?

Well, to my own understanding Alo zinc is the only cost effective option I l know. I have not seen it rusty and even if it will, it take years.

some are 50 to 100 yrs guarantee.


the measurement is inches.

Well it may not be too much. depends on the size of your house. the 2by2 is for the nogging, while you need 2by3 and 2by4 for the roofing.

to reduce the cost, go to the market and buy them yourself following the break down I put up there.

what type of roofing sheet are u going for?

akeensbussy:


what type of roofing sheet are u going for?

longspan. Please any useful information

Oga Akeensbusy,

How is your project going? I stumbled on a website (http://buildingcontractorsecrets.com/2012/12/23/how-to-calculate-timber-roof-members/) discussing how to calculate amount of wood required for roof. I came up with some crazy figures but would require your professional input. First off, my build is about 25m long and 13.3m wide with a roof height of 5m.

Following the instruction on the site and calculating for long span roof.

Ceiling noggin 350pcs 2x2
Wall plate 52pcs 3x4
Facial board 23pcs 1x12
Tie beam 80pcs 2x6
Struts 160pcs 3x4
Rafter 195pcs 3x4
Purlins 144pcs 2x3
Kingpost 28pcs 2x6

Are these realistic figures? Let me try to upload pics of the building

With the picture you uploaded, yes the figure is realistic..however, You may buy more.

I will advice you call carpenter (2 or 3) for different quotations and compare with what you got online.

You can also use the method I put up in there to achieve your aim.
plz note that price of materials increase every week.

I wish u good luck.
