Are you paying to lay the interlocks? or planning to buy?

1. If buying, visit the nearest seller - quality and thickness, colour and texture, location too determines price

2. If you mean how much for workmanship (laying) - its between 350 /m2 to 500/m2 depending on your workers and maybe location.

Goodluck

Paying for the whole work, I'm not buying materials.

Thanks.

Hello House,

Please need professional advice on exterior screeding. Is it worth it? Also are there any new paints that will cater for unscreeded walls (except texcoats). Thanks.

Good day All,

I would like to know the advantages and disadvabtages of using the straight razor wire (see picture below) as an extra layer of security in a fence compared to the concertina or curved razor wire.


I know the state of art is the electric fence but due to the economic fallout of this pandemic, I am looking for cost effective alternative to the electric fence for now.


Thank you in advance.

the picture above is quite expensive more than the regular curve one.. and because of the pole it will last longer as well.. though depend on the make anyway

there are some that can only last 3years before rusting take over them.. some can last as long as ten years

Thank you very much for prompt feedback Boss.

Do you have an idea of the cost per linear metre?

You may screed the wall if you wish to use a flat finish paint with some level of sheen like matte paint.
You can use regular emulsion paint if you don't want to screed as it hides defects.
However, if you still wish to use a matte finish or if the wall is terribly rough, you may use a primer applied in multiple coats before painting. it's cheaper than screeding and would give some level of smoothness.

For the coil one per 10m is 8500 (type 1)

Type two is 10000 per 10m... this last a little bit longer..


There is another type though but specially galvanized from the company... price depend on quantity.

Hello everyone,

Please how much does interlocking stones sell for per SQM?

Roughly how much will it cost to floor a compound space of ~ 250SQM using interlocks, including labour, interlock, DPM, cement for the edges and other expenses. Assume floor landscape with sand is already done.

thanks

Thank you sir! I appreciate, it’s noted ... please I need more criticism

For the 3 bed, too many external (security) doors would be required with the Kitchen and Laundry each having their own terraces. It should be possible to have a combined terrace for both of these while bringing in some of that area for internal use.

Also, do you really have to go out to via the porch to use the Guest toilet? I'm not used to this in modern houses - is it so the gateman can use it too?

Good luck.

Was POP screed used as the primer or just regular paint for the two lower images?

A high pigment regular emulsion was applied with roller.
The primer was used for this project.
