I don’t have a copy of the physical plan. I just stayed with them for a few weeks about 10 years ago.

If it does have structural issues then that is a big concern.

DaniellaDokubo:


Kindly share with me if you don't mind. I think I will rather dump this plan. The structural concerns highlighted earlier is a big issue for me...

please can one do wall screeding without POP using only acrylic putty? anyone around warri who can be recommended?
If you meant wall screeding with ready mixed basecoat screeding putty alone, then I can assure you its the most durable and the best form of wall smoothening in other parts of the world.
I don't understand the POP aspect if it's ceiling and casting or for screeding.

Often times for internal finishing the quotes is dependent on your taste, the type and quality the Twyford WC starts from about 11k to over 70k. The question is are they quoting 46k and buying 11k. If you are around go to the market if not get a second quote not introduced by the same person. If you are in Lagos call this person 08169940298 Abbey always pay them transportation

Please house help me with this quotation for a 3 bedroom bungalow foundation.
625,100 I think it a little high considering the land is in the north and is flat.
The DPC is just the block and not the entire floor
Attached is the quotation, the floor plan and pic of the type of dpc
Sir check your plan well, you mean this is the plan you wanna build?
It is well, I guess a fresh student who just resumed did this for you.
Pls check it before you proceed or open a thread for critiques so you can see architects' view and other brainy.
Thanks

I don't make the regulations.
International standard is minimum of 50 metres.
Like I said previously on earlier posts and from that which was not clear to you prompting your question.

In Nigeria it's likely that rule can't be followed.
But like I said assuming your bore hole is at 0 metre point on your land then your soakaway/septic should be at the 15/30 metre point on same land.

Can you source acrylic putty? Would working with acrylic putty demand extra specialist skills different from the normal?

My POP man could do but I need more information concerning acrylic putty product.

By acrylic putty, what do you have in mind?

100k will plaster everything. What is the size of the house? You need a double tipper load of sand. It should be enough. 17k depending on where you stay

I would attempt to try and shed some light on what I think he is trying to describe. He may comment otherwise to further clarify if not.
The ready mixed screeding putty also called basecoat is also used in wall screeding and it is a thick paste with acrylic as the binder.
It doesn't set fast unlike the regular gypsum cement and pop emulsion combination. it dries slowly and would need to be given second or finishing coat several hours to next day after first coat is sufficiently dry.
Not all screeders can apply the basecoat due to the slow drying time and relatively softer mix compared to gypsum cement/pop emulsion paint mix.
An experienced screeder should be able to apply any form of screeding material though.

The engineer made some correction and changes to the plan.
Like the bath in the 3rd bedroom has been moved to the other side to accommodate a window and some adjustment was done to the kitchen and dining also the entrance to the master bedroom was adjusted so also is the master bath entrance.

Keepingmum, thank God you didn't keep mum on this. The guy man want to con you.

Price for everything asides cement is inflated.
Quantity for everything is inflated.
Quote is divided into two to confused you.

Best way to pay back such a con master is to learn how to calculate material required, then give the job to another and then invite him to come and see how the work is progressing.
