Bro cool down, they still call it asbestos but it is not asbestos.

Asbestos production has been banned in Nigeria long ago.

What he is talking about looks like asbestos but is not. No company produces asbestos in Nigeria FYi.

Nigerians sha them tell you say it’s carcinogenic you dey talk of durability. I tire for Una.

Thanks for your swift response sir's, I have read a lot about abestos and it's only risky if it's broken which will therefore release fiber to the air and that can be harmful if inhale.

But there is nothing if it's not damaged or broken. We have lived for decades in an abestos house and we still live strong and healthy.

Using abestos doesn't automatically means you will have lung cancer, ( there is precautions) please let's try and research more about abestos smiley

Abestos is still everywhere in the market and people are still using it.

Pls let's talk about the DURABILITY between aluminum and abestos.

The lump sum allowed doe the electrical can not do the conduit system of wiring, Cost of cables alone will take almost if not all the allowed.. Remember conduit pipes, distribution boards and also boxes is part of electrical installations

The plumbing aspect also.

Let me break down electrical
200k wire
60k pipes and accessories
40k DB
100k labour

Wood cost 350k workmanship included and roofing(shingles, 18ft kingpost) cost 700k including labour, if you listen to most people on nairaland fear nor to let you build, their estimates are always very high.

I plan using Stepped tiles..... The quote I got is scary!
what is the length and breath of the building, so i can openly give you a quote here that will be justify and fit your budget.

If you can post your roof plan, it will be great for analysis and accuracy.

Points that matter to consider.

1. Do you have parapet on the building?
If you have parapet on the building, it will reduce the numbers of woods to be use and cost of capentry.

2.You have choosing stepped tiles, that is good, 2x3x12 woods will also reduce, because stone coated roofing sheets use more woods compare to stepped tiles.

3.The height of the king post you choose to use for the roofing carcass, will also determine the overall cost of roofing and covering, because it will increase or decrease the materials to be use.

4. The ceiling noggin spacing, if you are installing pop ceilng in the family lounge, and the rooms, and toilets, the ceiling noggin spacing is 2ft by 2ft, and it use more of 2x2x12 woods, compare to the pvc that use 2ft by 4ft ceiling noggin spacing.

Thanks, happy new week.
