Do you really need up to 50kg for 100sqm? The application of adhesive I have see are not really much.

.

You mean to say 50bags of 20kg to cover 100m2.

And yes bcs 1 bags of 20kg size will do 2msq plus waste.... minus and plus

Badgers14:
So, just to clarify both for me and other interested parties looking at this..

Since supafix doesn't need sand, the cost of cement and sand for a typical tiling work is still lower than the cost of supafix?

Do you mind responding in numbers say for a job totalling 100 sqm.

Thank you!

Ok let’s use 100m2 of both wall and floor tiles as case study.


WALL TILING
Using of normal OPC cement for the job
Let’s assumed your wall is in a well level gauge.

No of cement(50kg) 20bag*3000=60,000
Plaster sand 2.5 tones —————-10,000
Total ——————N70,000.

FLOOR TILING
Assumed the floor is well balance
No of cement (50kg)40*3000=120,000
Sharp sand 20 tones ————-50,000
Total —————-N170,000


In summary
If it’s Wall tiling it will cost you some of N70,000( to cover 100m2 area.

If it’s floor tiling it floor tiling it will cost you some of N170,000 to cover 100m2 area.


Adhesive/ super fix
-No sand needed for the wall here.
-We are using good product of 2500 per 20kg here.
Calculation 100m2 area.
WALL
Nos of superfix(20kg)45bags*2500=112,500

FLOOR
Sand is needed here as leveling to desired height with normal OPC cement and this most be done earlier before using of this superfix.

Nos super-fix (20kg) 50bags*2500=125,000
Sand is need here

Sand 20 tones======N50,000
Cement 30bags*3000=N90,000
Total=N265,000

Summary of superfix-Wall. N112,500
Floor N265,000
Total N377,500

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.

I do use the adhesive for mosaic work or marble price ranges from N2000-N3000 per 20kg for good product, they are lesser one like 1200 or so but they are not that good.
And you can’t mix it sand

So in conclusion it’s not cheaper

[quote author=n3xt post=96233069]In the other news, Lafarge now have supafix - a ready-to-use tile adhesive. It’s only here we use cement to fix tiles

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.

One4me:
Before l mention names, trusted names, it will be good to know where your project is located.
If in the East/South-South, l will say Spyder
If it is anywhere above Lokoja (Up North), l will say[b] Abduilwastecx[/b], if it is after the Niger Bridge down South West, l will say[b] Aventures, Segzy[/b] and one other name that l cant remember right now.
Archy? Dareynx
Paint? Gbadexy is your sure bet
Material Costing and Project management? Hail QSfemi
Electrical? Topsy
Plumbing and the likes? Rotech
CCTV? Twinskenny
Tiles and bathroom stuffs? Endiasami (but not heard from him for a while)
Roofing? Imram Roofing
Granite and Sand Supply? Chekitaut but you will need to make sure his vehicle does not break down

There could be other people that have skipped my mind right now but I would gladly work with the above Builders.

#NotABibeli, if l missed your name, it does not mean you are not good, it simply means you have need to impress more on this thred and with the work you do. My apologies.

Keep us informed so we canalso help you answer questions and keep your Contractor on his toes.

Thanks so much sir.

The burglar bars

Jasobry:
What's the reason please

Based on my field practical experience.
Door frame ( wooden door) should be installed 1st before tiling then after tiling you will installed the door leaf.
REASONS
If you installed the door before tiling you CANNOT get the accurate floor level in all area
.
More so the finishing surface of the door will also be tampered by Tiler no matter how careful they are.

But when you tiled your floor round with ONE level then your furniture man will then used the level to determine the door leaf height.
Best practice so far for wooden door.

The quotation is not too bad, it’s looks ok,
But you can negotiate the cost of the Labour to 90-100k.

My concern is the height of the roof 11ft is too low, I will advise you do btw 18-22ft height. It’s a big building

Omonjoe:
Hello all, could someone help me check if the following order of work will be ok for my project:

Plastering

POP

Look good BUT if you are using wooden doors, make sure you do your tiling 1st then install your door leaf

We are always ready to serve you better.

Coming soon

Testimony Time

Words fail me to express my gratitude to Gbadexy for being a shining light in the midst of the darkness I have seen from suppliers and artisans throughout my period of building my house.

I had watched and followed his comments for over two years.He supplied me basecoats and paints from lagos to Minna.He offered to share the tranportation cost with me by 50% and gave me extra base coats.
When there was a delay,he assured me of getting another supply if that one failed.When I eventually got the Painting material ,he introduced a painter who managed the paints and even developed a different colour from to give my house the uniqueness we never expected.
Thank you Gbadexy!!!
My God will surprise you and very soon too.

Worthy of Mention is Saydfact!
Always a phone call away answering questions and giving counsel.You have become more than an online friend sir, You are a brother!
We never walk alone....

Topsy23
He supplied all my electrical materials without issues.
He is someone I can always recommend.

Rotech77
You are one of a kind sir.
Even though I couldn't eventually use his service due to constraints beyond me, he answers my questions promptly.
I am sure we will still do things together very soon.

Michilin

bubsykay:
Bro, please is it possible to respond to the question here so some of us can also have an idea and benefit from the question. Just a cost range should be fine. Thank you

I mentioned it some pages back..,,,,,35m from foundation to carcass

westliver:
Can a quarter plot occupy 2 units of two bedroom flats and 2units of two self contain

Are you joking bro, quarter plot?
The quarter plot I know can only take 1 unit of 2bedroom if it’s bungalow.
But it will take 2 units of 2bedrooms if it’s a story building.
