Good Day sir, please what is the cost of Grafitex paint

Subtund1:
What of Kuda

Kuda is a MFB

The guy also duped me of 35k. He later told me his wife was crucially ill.

KolaShangOne:
Yes it's very possible. The mix is to prevent plaster hairline cracks.

Please can you explain if possible with pictures what you mean by plaster hairline cracks.

You can get Lavender herb from this lady in Lagos. I bought mine from her.

Actually not Coleman, others

twinskenny:
the quantity look okay.. what type of cable did he quoted for? coleman or others?

Okay thanks. I appreciate

AnaCheks:
Take the list to the market and buy the wires yourself,most importantly NIGERIAN CABLES. Nb: Don't ever compromise on your Cables, make sure it's Nigerian cables.

Thanks for the advice

kopell:
Please let him think deep and shine his eyes, if not, he may end up buying fake, short cables, labels as Nigeria made. My advice to the gentleman, is better to let the suppliers make little then lose the total sum.

Thanks so much, how can I get in touch with you?

topsy23:
The price of cables is very high now . I can give Nigerchin cables for a better price .

The quantities are okay since it's a 4 bedroom flat

MrOkenwa:
Very reliable if done in an area with stable soil. it's relatively quite cheaper. I still have it in my personal build, built in 2014.

Thank you. I appreciate

Good evening house, I saw this type of soakway today. I was told it is the latest in town.
How reliable is this and won't it collapse later in future?

Good evening House, I am at wiring stage now and I need help. My building is a four bedroom bungalow, all ensuite with provision for AC and water heater in the bathrooms.

nothing to worry about, let the electrician finish there work, you might need him then

Thank you. I appreciate

Good morning great House. Please I have a question to ask. Is it true that POP ceiling something have little cracks as it dries? I saw few cracks on mine as they tend to dry up, I called the guy who did it and he said it's normal and he will come to fix it. He also said by the time the electrical guys finish their wiring, there will also be few cracks. Please how true are these? Regards

Their work

Coiner:
The engineer handling the building here in Benin gave the following quotes:

Pre-plaster plumbing: 180k
Complete Electrical piping: N250k
Plastering (range): 700k.

His fees are high. I spent lesser (400k) plastering my 4 bedroom bungalow in Benin. This includes both supervisor fees and labour for the job.
The guys who did the job were from Cotonou and I was very pleased with the outcome. If I have met them directly, I would have spent lesser than that.
I can also help you with their contact if you won't mind.
Even for my pop, my engineer told me it would cost me about about 1.4m. I met some Togolese guys, working in an hotel, after taking their leader to my site, he gave me an estimate of 800k with beautiful designs.

Thanks I appreciate

RockOfAgesAlumi:
<900 x 1400-50k

Good Evening House! Please what is the cost of doing casement windows without burglary rods in it on these dimensions:

Location: Benin city Edo State

@redgem.
I reside in Benin. HS broker helped me with the woods. Though he promised 12 feet but what he supplied were between 8 to 10 feet. But the woods were of good quality. Talk to both your carpenter and Engineer. You can get 12 feet wood in Benin.

Thanks sir, please should I mix it with anything?

mufutau55:
Use SOLIGNUM.

Good day House, please I want to treat my roofing woods.
Please can the Ogas tell me the chemicals I need to buy to do the job?
Best regards

Good evening House, please is this design secured enough? I no fit shout ooooh

Crack I saw in a building, Even the lintel too crack.

Thanks for the picture.

Charisdesigns:
Sorry it just a random photo to drive done my point

Attached is the chicken net mesh.

Please can you share a clearer picture of the chicken net. The one you uploaded is a bit blurry.
Regards

Charisdesigns:
A picture of the said crack will help give a more accurate answer

But here’s what I shared awhile ago on similar case

Possible Causes:
1) Foundation
"is the foundation done properly or better still if the right foundation type was used."

2) Ineffective bonding between the blocks and mortar

3) Plastering mix ratio

Remedy

Get a structural engineer to help you determine if the crack is a major or minor one.
If the latter is the case, before plastering, he should re add mortar to those crack lines in other to create a better bond between the mortar and block wall

Then nail chicken nets to that area before plastering as shown in the attached picture

Please what is the best sand to use for plastering.

Thanks so much for your prompt response. This is really insightful. Thanks once again I appreciate.

FEGEITOK:
The first time I fought damp walls, I took down the old plaster from the floor to the midway point between the floor and the ceiling in all the rooms of the house. Then personally supervised a cement mix in the following formula

1 part cement to 3 parts stone dust to 2 parts sharp sand and 1 part plaster sand.

Five years later there is no evidence that the house was not properly built, the paint no longer pealed, and anyone workman who has worked on that part of the house said, the plasterwork is like concrete.

I also added a water proofing powder whose name I cannot remember since it is more than 5 years ago.

By the way this was internal not external walls.

I must admit the walls were not smooth. But screeding or another layer of plaster with a different mix can easily resolve that. I later screeded it to make them smooth.
