I don't know about louvre glass making a comeback but I know some its downsides.

When the slides get loose the glass falls, may shatter, be ready to replace as many as possible.

It's difficult to clean without having fine cuts on your hands, extra care must be taken when cleaning.

When the shutter mechanism wears out, the control lever becomes stiff, it'll fail to control some slides, they become free; some slide become rigid.

MrOkenwa:

I also need same help Sir. I should be done with the block settings by Tuesday. I am planning to do the wood work by next weekend and would cover it up with long span aluminum. No paraphet.
It’s a straight rectangular structure, 78 feet by 34.5 feet. Please suggest the appropriate length for the king post too, as per this size. Thank you sir.

Simple hip roof I guess.

Since your breath is about 10.5m,

Just use between 10 to 12ft if you do not want to spend more.

I greet you oga boss.

The question is if 3M can build a "bungalow"

Yes,because there is no specifications OK?

How it can workout:

*It must not be on a waterlogged land
*he will employ the services of an engineer for free because the money won't be enough to pay him/her. I can help him only by proxy.

1. Make a free hand simple sketch
2. It will be a straight roof no parapet
3. He will use 6" hole Block
4. Slide windows
5. Wooden doors or iron local doors
6. Local stones no chippings
7. PVC ceiling
8. non-porcelain tiles
9. Wiring will be 60% conduit.
10. WC & Painting also. But it can't include soak away/ septic tank.

If he has time and are strong to handle it on his own it can work out. Its direct Labour na.

My oga at the top I salute you sir.


Dubemcapital

Hmmmmm...

Although anything is possible.. BUT

1. Did you n consider roofing? It will take almost 850k at the cheapest with aluminium.

Don't tell me you want to use Pan (zinc) that will get rusted in few years.

2. What's your estimate for blockwork? Let's assume 2200 blocks? That is about 400,000 naira. If you set 60 blocks (max) per bag, you will need 100,000. Labour cost about 120,000.

3. Gravel isn't too cheap too. Gravel for blinding, for lintels.. Laterite too...

4. Even if there is no German floor, you will still do flooring.

4. You'll also need about 50 tons of sand to get to roof level too..

5. How much would windows be? Even sliding windows will cost about 350,000

6. Plastering cost?

7. PVC ceiling cost?

8. Tiles? Even if you use Nigerian tiles, you will spend up to 400k.

The question is.. can 3million build a 3 bedroom? Maybe.
Can it give an average 3 bedroom? I'm not sold.

What is the advisable kingpost for a rectangular building of 24.5m length and 13.05m breath? (The specification about the kingpost in the roof plan is: 50x100 mm h/w kingpost) really don't understand the interpretation.
In my layman idea I just calculated 50x100=5000mm (5meter) kingpost. Lol

Thanks

Please check the mail you used in registering on Nairaland.

The factory is not far from that popular GT bank on Agege Motoroad. Not sure of street name

You can access through Ilupeju bypass from Town Planning Way
Lagos

Can you please share his contact. I am actually looking for something like this..someone that can deliver to Benin-city. (Edit: I just saw his number you posted)

Rant

The hassle is most of them don't accept payment on delivery..They seem to want payment upfront and since I don't ve someone in lagos to help me do the transaction..it is a bit risky on my side.

Also on doors

Has anyone use Watson time Steel doors (see attachment) for internal doors?

they look okayish but I am not sure if steel doors can be used as internal doors.

Thank you very much in anticipation of prompt and useful feedbacks.
