Engrgreg231:
Please how many bags of 40kg white cement is enough for 171sqr meters

I recently used 90 bags of ABS pop cement for 187 m2. (see design below).

You can start with 60 bags or 70..and then add to it later if you run out of cement.

by the way...labour cost was 900 per sqm in Benin.

All the best

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.

I'm trying to imagine the context here.

When you say you're contemplating between making a choice of decking or roofing a 2 storey building, do you mean the building has no original plan of action?

What do I mean? If the building is originally designed to be a 2 storey building, then the logical thing to do is to roof it right away and not deck it because the foundation must have been designed for 2 storey building. Putting a decking and subsequently thinking of adding another floor would be a suicide mission.

On the contrary, if the building is originally designed to be a 3 storey building, then I can say confidently that your choices are valid. In that case, decking is more expensive to construct than normal roofing other things being equal.

the house is not under construction, i have the land and is saving up the money but i already have an idea of what i want to build, it's just that i noticed online that the hostel can be decked and waterproofed to act as a rooftop garden, relaxation spot etc, i would also keep the overhead water tank there thereby saving me from the cost and inconvenience of building an overhead water tank stand. so I'm just asking for ideas.

You've gotten a nice idea Sir, but have it in mind that as time goes on, the concrete slab (decking) will need maintenance.
And that is a problem in Nigeria, maintenance is always difficult.

I get that now.

If you're using roof slab (decking), please bear in mind that the decking will need to be felted with bituminous felting for waterproofing which is additional cost.

Should you install door and window subframes before plastering?

I thought it was cement screeded at first glance.
Since it's water pooling and being absorbed by the wall that most likely caused the cracks, you may paint the skirting with water resistant paint so that it's flows off the wall.
hello gbadexy, pls how expensive is internal screeding? in terms of materials and labour, the total square meter of the house is 220sqm and a height of 3meters. am based in kaduna and will be grateful if you give me an idea thanks

They charge from N500 upward depending on the volume and location. It could also depend on the material type they want to use. Some mix extra pva for stronger bond and use high cement mix.
I know a competent screeded that relocated to Kaduna. I could get you his contact if you wish.
