Badgers14, the nairaland trained Engineer.

But skimaski deserves an honorable mention.. plus host of others.

Don't forget our very own N3xt, dude got answers with PowerPoint, pictures and pdf files for every thing.

Haaa, jah bless yah!
Skimanski was the name l just could not remember.
Dude does very neat lines and l have not heard any complaints about him, from his Clients.
@Brabus/n3xt has his strengths (brilliant ideas, tenacity, etc) and l will bet he is one for the 'future', Time is still blowing air on certain things and we should allow the wind to blow. I have been around here for too long.
Thanks Sir.

Hello all,

What is the cost of external screeding materials in Lagos?

- Screeding paint (20L buckets) ... operator recommends Glover brand, but any other good quality would do

- Top bond (10kg buckets)

- Waterproof cement (carton)

We have about 1k sqm external walls to do, so hoping to get the labour down to about N200/sqm or lower.

Thanks

Thanks. will check.

n3xt:
Go to Shoprite building/hardware section or other building marts. You can also get it in Orile.

I think it’s between N50 - N200 per pc depending on size. It’s also sold in packs.

Hmm... noted.

Thanks s lot as always.

n3xt:
You might require more than 100m for 5 units in your location. I didn’t realize your initial post has been edited. I thought you’re looking at 4 units.

Attached below is 4 units of 4.bed Terrace duplex sitting on 310sqm footprint and it took 100m.

5 units will definitely gulp more.

Roger that.

Thanks a lot.

abdulwastecx:
125m at 25m per units will do

If we, Nigerians don't invest first in the country, it is foolhardy to expect foreign investors to troop in droves. Nigeria is a big market but not economically bouyant. The average personal income (purchasing power) is low.

When it comes to the internal investment climate with regards to uncertainty, there's only one 'thing' that is holding the nation down: EXCHANGE RATE POLICY.

Not kidnappers, not corrupt politicians, not bad roads, not adequate power supply, not lack of fiber optic ( broadband). These are the symptoms of lack of internal investment. The cause of our ailment is the poor and incompetent management of the Naira rate against international currencies - the Naira rate to the Dollar. This started from the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP).

I will give you a very practical and familiar example - myself. I'm in the Diaspora investing in Nigeria so I am a foreign investor. Abi no be so.

Now (For example) I have a property with long term tenants that gives me N5 mil per annum in rent. During President Goodluck Jonathan's regime, the average Naira exchange rate to the GBP was stable at N300. Then, I repatriate £16,000 per annum back to Britain from rental income.

As I type, the Naira to Pound rate is 600. So now I repatriate £8,000 from the same investment. That's about half of my income gone into thin air for no practical or business management reasons. Just government incompetence that I have no control over. Absolutely nothing I can do other than to increase rent. If I do this, the tenants (traders) will transfer the increase into the price of their products and poverty is let loose over the country. This is the situation we are in since SAP.

Now you can see if I were a property foreign investor like for example airline company (Virgin Nigeria), Dunlop, Bata, A.G Leventis, Layland, Volkswagen, Peugeot etc that are mandated to repatriate funds home for their shareholders overseas, what do you think they will do? With a dwindling income not from lack of trading but from the inability of the government to stabilize the exchange rate, they will do what they did - close shop and unleash unemployment. This is what is happening in Nigeria. The foreign exchange regime or lack of foreign exchange regime is killing Nigeria slowly but surely.

Any administration that can stabilize the exchange rate for two terms, Nigeria will be better. Nigeria's biggest problem is not corruption, but lack good governance and competent institutional managers of the polity (economy).

Well said.However,Currency unstablility in Nigeria is one of the multiplier effects of CORRUPTION.Therefore, CORRUPTION is Nigeria's biggest problem.

PVC demand go shoot up as pop cement is very high now.. likely it hits 10k by december ....

Thanks for the honorable mention Sir. God bless you.

How durable and strong are these glass blocks when used as part of an external wall? I am considering using it so as to let in more natural light into a lobby.

n3xt:
It’s not ignorance. It’s impatience on the part of ’professional tilers.’ I can’t really say much about rookies.

Spacers are everywhere in the market and no one needs to be told why it’s important but here we just like to do things irrationally.

I bought spacers for two glass block installations. The installer used it on one of the projects and decided not to use it on the other.

The additional cost of spacers (in time and money value) is almost negligible.

In the other news, Lafarge now have supafix - a ready-to-use tile adhesive. It’s only here we use cement to fix tiles

Unambiguous statement showing your stand. Respect sir.
The most difficult part is maintaining reputation as it takes a slight error in judgement to tarnish it. I will always make conscious efforts to remember not to bring ridicule to honourable people such as yourself and other well meaning elders that have stuck out your neck for me.
I appreciate it sir and I'm grateful.

Unilag estate IKORODU, very good, i supply to that location table surface land, Road is the major issue, Oreita road Ikorodu is a level land,

Abule Ado is a good place too dry land in range from ₦1.5-4m

somehow:
I am even tempted to just go for an apartment or detached flat /building in the heart of the mainland or Lekki but they all seem to be on the high price.

If I'm to advice you - IF and IF your budget is not UP-TO 40m forget LEKKI - AJAH AXIS (even if its a bungalow you plan to build)....

for 20m look towards the outskirt of Ikorodu, where you can get a land less than or equal to 5m, then build with 15m (subject to your design type)

GOODLUCK

Thank you so much sir for the reply the project is located in Mowe and according to soil test result a pile foundation is recommended which i wasn`t expecting so that`s why am looking for a very good engineer that can handle pile foundation

I have wondered about that for a while, there are special cements or adhesive for tiles, for kitchen, bathroom and non moisture environment.

You are right bro, the ready mix cement/adhesive is available in the Mkt but only few people buy it for there project.
But if you are laying marble or mosaic tiles it’s strongly advisable to use it.

More so the use of cement for tiling work it’s a standard approach which you will come across in most Building construction text book.

Fire on. You dont have any problem. They are both Portland cement.

[quote author=rotecch77 post=96243202][/quote]Have you used the supafix adhesive in your projects before or have you seen it being used before.
I am curious about how the job turned out.

Also, is it cheaper to use the supafix than cement?

With the higher price of cement now, I know folks would appreciate another reliable alternative to bypass use of cement in certain aspects of building that generally people use cement.
