Your brother is right, half foot is OK for the toilets, the living room can go as much as you desire depending on you plinth height and what you want to achieve but 1and half foot (3 steps down) is reasonable. Then the kitchen is supposed to be on the same level with the dinning even with the lobby inbetween if there's any. Rather use a floor drain around the sink area and slope properly through the drain and the back door. Stairs on the kitchen will always get someone especially a visitor. Royruky: 1 Like |

keepingmum: I just plastered my project it’s 2 Units of 1 bedroom flat and 1 room self contain. I used 35 bags of cement and 4 loads of sand nothing like plaster addictive. I paid the bricklayer 140,000 for both inside and outside He also hang all the burglaries and the iron doors. This price is too much. The highest you should pay for this is 130-140k and don’t buy more than 5 loads of sand and with 35-40 bags of cement you’re good. Look for 2 other Bricklayers to give you quotation 1 Like |

@gbadexy and @Diodaves....una too much. I got to know of the ready mixed screeding putty in this forum. But the person i am contracting doesnt seem to know about it and is stuck gypsum cement and POP emulsion. Good to know that there is some level of expertise needed for using base coat. So i may just allow him use his old method. please what are the merits and demerits of both methods and what is the cost comparism? gbadexy: |

If you are able to know the number of blocks to be used and the laying cost per block for that location (some do #35, #45, #45, #50) that should give you a rough idea of how much it should be. assuming you want to do on contract basis, it will give you a range too. boyestic: |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by joycluv: 9:09am On May 02, 2019 |
boyestic:. A lot of factors will determine= Location, Size of the house which will determine the No of blocks, The block size, Cost of laying the block size per one in ur location assuming you want to do it by counting using direct labour and the amount labourers collect for serving the masons per day. But it's cheaper to use direct labour if you have the time to stay around. |

Iruosonobrugwhe:The POP/gypsum cement mix makes use of the gypsum as the main binder and it's action is as a result of swelling of the individual powders when in contact with water (hydration). This squeezes tight together with themselves and the powder aggregate of the pop emulsion paint which is mainly calcium carbonate powder on one hand, and the expansion within the pores and crevices on the surface it is applied on the other hand to hold on to the surface. The acrylic putty makes use of acrylic binder that bonds on both the pores and every surface in contact with. From their mechanism of bonding, the POP/gypsum cement mix bonds to the wall due to the expansion of the powders with tiny pores and application of force or shock can dislodge. Further contact with water would still cause it to expand and swell after application which makes it unsuitable for anywhere with exposure to water. The acrylic putty doesn't have that disadvantage. You would need to chisel or use scraper with considerable force from a heavy object to scrape it off the surface and water doesn't easily affect it except solvents like paint thinners. The POP/gypsum mix is somewhat more smoother after application and it hardens fast, although it would still need several days to dry fully before it can be painted on. It can also be mixed with P.V.A binder to have similar advantage of bonding better to any surface as the acrylic putty, but it's not as water resistant as acrylic binder. The acrylic based putty doesn't dust powder(chalk) after it is sand papered prior to painting unlike POP/gypsum mix. Addition of sufficient P.V.A binder also minimizes chalking after sand paper. As regards cost comparison, I understand the POP/gypsum screeding is charged from N500 upward for materials and labor while the screeding putty varies depending on price of the brand of the putty. it's at an average of N550 to N650 per sqm including materials and labor for putty of N6500 to N9000 per drum at spread of 18 sqm per drum and N200 to N300 per sqm for labor. |

Iruosonobrugwhe: Good quality screening in Warri is from N500/SqM direct labour. So 900 you were quoted may have been as a result of your negotiating power or the quality you demanded or you are not using direct labour. |
