Forget about that plasterboard 'thingy'

It's more expensive than using the POP Cement, Top bond and the POP Paint.

I'm at that stage now and I've compared both options.

I've spent about ₦2m to screed all internal and external walls, including ceiling POP cast design.

I got a quote of ₦8,500 per square metre for plasterboard (material and Labour). The size of the ceiling is 7.5m*30m=225sqm.

Let's do the maths ₦8500*225sqm=₦1,912,500

But I will be achieving much more with about ₦2,100,000

My ₦2,100,000 spent covers:
All external wall Screeding (from roof to the ground)
All internal walls (save areas with wall tiles)
Ceiling of the entire upper floor

Can/Do your guys work in Benin?

He lives in Benin

diordaves:


Absolutely!

I'm currently modernising three 1970s inheritance properties which includes changing the old granny's ceiling to POP. I have done the comparism of in-situ caste POP and plasterboard approach but in-situ POP comes up cheaper. But @Next kept banging on about plasterboard working cheaper for him.

This made me think I might be missing a trick or two so I thought this would be an opportunity for me to learn.

Mind you I'm well familiar with plasterboard here in the Uk. 99% of all UK ceiling is plasterboard. This is why I asked @Next to give his cost per square meter just for a smoke free perspective. You can read @Next rude response (not bible) and his pompous disposition ( l don't contract with Nairalanders). This just confirmed to me it's all talk and hot air bordering on imaginary projects.

gbadexy:

I don't do application and from the description, it would have to be done by the people doing the plastering because it must still be workable and not totally set.

gameboy55:



It can b done wen totally set, but might not acheive perfect smoothness like the later, UNLESS the wall is well plastered.


My waterstand (plastered same time with main hux but was not screeded at the time, about 2 months ago) was screeded 2 weeks ago along side the fence and we achieved same result.

I like Hajji Mufus method better.

Hang a “prepared” broom at the gate. The would be thieves will sweep all night till “relieved” in the morning

valencia2012:
If builders, house owners and contractors can chose between aluminium sheets and stone coated roofing due to finance or choice, why is there no such alternative to POP?
My thinking is because Okorommaduekwe did it, therefore Gbadamosi, Osunbor and Idongesit must do it. Just like iron wrought, chrome or stainless rails.
Not because its cheap or expensive.
Some have added penthouses to buildings but don't know it's meaning or usefulness, because they just want the penthouse title added when describing their edifice.
Its a matter of mentality and dynamism.

rotecch77:


Thanks chairman , you are right BUT you asked for the real purpose of that design.
The real purpose in building technology is for VENT
As I said earlier we have many vent in building
- window is also vent in building
- gable vent
-Roof vent
And many more.
You see some might later manage to introduce or later convert the small area there to room.

Some also use the space as attic room.

An attic (sometimes referred to as a loft) is a space found directly below the pitched roof of a house or other building; an attic may also be called a sky parlor or a garret. ... Attics are generally used for storage, though they can also help control temperatures in a house by providing a large mass of slowly moving air.

Look at these diagram pics below.

Without adequate p.v.a, it may crack and peel off eventually later.
