multikolour:
yes according to them the rate is different because it's very difficult to use

Noting difficult there so far they are mixing it with plaster sand.
Actually if it’s to be used only (not commonly used this way) then the rate will be more a little just because it’s dry quickly, if 1st apply on the wall btw 30min it will dry up so it will be difficult to Smooth btw that time (30-40min)

But here you are mixing it with plaster sand so nothing difficult there.

Forgive my ignorance, what are the difference between plaster sand and sharp sand? I have always believed sharp sand and cement are used for plastering walls.

I guess the sand in the attached pic is called sharp sand.

Actually plaster and looks more smother than sharp sand
It’s also has much gum than sharp sand
But in some area like Benin they used to supply sharp for all work bcs there sharp sand there looks like mixture of plaster sand and sharp sand

@rotecch77.....

Do you still handle plastering and tiling like I saw on one of your posts?
What are the conditions and modus operandi if you have to work in a village in Imo state?

OGA mi I do sir,
Construction with finishings is what we know how to do best coupled with plumbing material supply.

Here are recent tiling/ finishing work

You can check this thread for our finishings work only. Others thread are for construction work.

Bro Rotecch,

With what I attached and at 20mm thickness will those bags of cement still do the job?

Yes it will, but dressing of the windows will not be there and that your master bedroom you will exchange that for any others room size
So with 20bags you are good to go.

But monitor your cement ratio with wastage ooo

Honorable minister!!! Off your mike.

It’s ok it’s ok it’s ok ....yes sir

When I had my truck, that’s when I got to know most of these secrets.

You won’t believe my truck as big as it is cannot carry full 15 tonnes of sand.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPw6UOWYlTc

My truck will load full 30 tonnes of sand almost 3 times.

Somethings ago when handle a project at lekki/Ajah axis I did some findings about there sand there
I went to “pump and sell” bus stop at Aado rd Ajah where China companies do sell sharp sand direct from lagoon I discovered that the pay-loader caterpillar bucket is 5 tonnes and that your truck size is what common in that axis most of them do carry 2 bucket of the pay-load which is accurate 10 tonnes but they will tell you it’s 15 tones, you hardly see them take 3 bucket of that pay-loader.
Any truck with that 3 buckets( real 15tonnes) of the pay-loader will be full like KILODEE
And it’s sold as 25tonnes Against real 15 tones

Muyi002:
Thanks to those who have come to my aid.

Please see attached for number of cement per segment for 15mm thickness.

I dont know if i am on point?

Actually the standard thickness is 25mm but you can do 20mm for internal

Muyi002:
My People,

Please sorry for this question o. I have N150k, how far can it go on internal plastering of 4 bedroom flat.

location prices of materials
Plaster sand = 7k per 5 tonnes
Cement = 2500 per bag
Stone Dust = 18k per 5 tonnes (Though this is availabe on ground)

You can go this way for DIY PROJECT

Plaster sand 3trip @7k= 21,000
Sharp sand 1.5trip @14k =21,000
Cement 20bags @2500=50,000
Plank for standing =12,000
Total. N104,000
Keep rest for labour N 46,000

Ground total N150,000

Labour breakdown
A room 2 skill labour @3500 or 3000=6or7k
1 unskilled labour @2000 or 2500=2k or 2.5k

Mean to plaster A room will cost you 8k or 9.5k

Finally means you can only covered 3rooms, A kitchen and 1 lobby with N46,000.

Cement for the calculated area is 20bags

This cost can only work DIY system.


The remaining part like
Toilets
Sittingroom
Dining
The remaining lobby
Walk in closet area.
Ante room.
Can be done later

Another construction/ finishings loading

Can you come to Ilorin for a 3 bedroom project?
How much should I budget for all excluding land, till finishing , it will be sitting on a 50x100 plot.
Also, if all cash is available, how long to complete?

Thanks for showing interest in what we love to do mostly (construction)

We can come over to your destination for the said proposed project.
Cost of the project will depends on the size of the building plan and nature of the land

Let’s talk more on

Once we see the plan then we can give the accurate cost.
Duration 3-4month from foundation to the finishing ( turn key)

Your Finishes are always top-notch

Thanks I really appreciate sir

val15:
Neat job

Thanks so much

jabolo:
I thought so too. When I insisted on this for my project, the supervising Engineer and the entire gang of artisans said “oga, the POP go fall”. It was me vs the world and I changed my mind to my continuing regret.

Our people are sometimes too stuck in their ways.

That is why its good to do more consultations when you reach finishings stages not only this stage most especially from the design stage.

n3xt:
Baba, trucks too needs space to move too. We first delivered 8 trucks during production.

I had to ask molders to spread out so that we won’t spend millions moving stones.

Beside this, we also spend a whole day to move the interlocking bricks closer to the next area we are compacting.

I couldn’t use the open field because the landscaper has treated and planted field.

I think we produced over 200,000 stones.

I get you right sir,
All aspect of construction work due comes with stress.
May God help us all and make us to shine more more o o.
Amen.

n3xt:
The total area is 2 Acres.

Built Area - 1,600sqm
Interlock - 5,966sqm
Open Field - 2,000 +

Even with on-site production, I still spend over 120k on labour to move the interlocks alone.

Yes that is what I mean about 1 1/2 acres of land for the interlock area.
The money spent also is not bad
But I think in any future work someone can arrange such BIG space to achieve some leaser expenses.

1. A space of about 650sqm (1 plot) can be calf out as production and others activities area so that the remaining open space of about 8 plot will be free for compaction and laying.

We work with client budget

Watch out for more

More coming

n3xt:
The overall sqm is about 6,000sqm. There’s no way we could achieve 650sqm in a day when the same compound is filled with interlocking stones.

It’d be easier compacting 650sqm in a day if we are buying the stones or producing in a different site.

The reason for on-site production is to cut off the cost of transporting the stones to site. We were able to save over 500k using this approach.

That means the whole area is about 11/2 acres of land wow. Or it’s diff location total 6000sqm. In all ?
Then I think a well site organization will be best to achieve more open space since you are producing the interlock stone is batches.
But the good things is that the machine is yours now which can be used for future project.

n3xt:
I’m using a C90 Plate Compactor

- 5.5hp Robin Petrol engine
- Weight 125kg

Good for most residential projects (foundation, landscaping small plots etc).

I don’t have closer pic of the compactor but here’s a short video while using it on a project.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekzcFwqPcLg


Edit:

Just added an online image

The compacting machine is very nice
But the guy that quoted 15k per day for 20days which resulted to 300k for only compaction is a Thief.
When you can compact a whole plot of land of about 650msq in just a day for just 15k

Is he compacting a whole community......20days
Kilode.

Watch out for more update

We gives top notch finishings with friendly cost

Work will commence here soon
Watch out

The door sample pics

Site update and some analysis of the material

*Electrical piping work in progress
*Mechanical piping work also in progress (high grade pipe technology)

Preparation for doors and windows also in progress.

Here we are using TOWAL brand of Aluminum frame with 5mm thick glass for the sliding windows
We need something rugged bcs it’s strictly for commercial purpose.

Also to save cost we are going for locally made rugged iron doors for all the entrance and exist of the building
We needed 16 doors both 3ft and 4ft
4ft size Each one cost 40,000*8=320,000
3ft size each one cost 30,000*8=240,000
Total N560,000

Turkish regular door cost 90,000*16=1,440,000

We safe whopping some of N880,000

Bcs in this area tenant doesn’t value fancy door as additional beauty to the building which will will make cost of Rentage to be higher than others house.

Jomafuvwe:
Please bro, can you share this building plan with me? This house has everything I want in a house and I’m already molding blocks and hopefully we can work something out when I want to start.
Tegose98@gmail.com
I’ll so much appreciate it. Thanks

I will ask the client for this.

Good things doesn’t come cheap but you don’t need to break bank before you can get all these from us.
