Thanks, I have done extensive search to the best of my ability. Most post I found bothers on leakage for the Hidden Flat roof.

My intended design isn't hidden and I haven't quite seen pros and cons for it hence my asking the house.

Yes I like the design, just want to know the downside in terms of heat and Noise(rainfall)




Hlsbroker2 has answered me on that, I do hope that all there is to it.

Thanks once more

Pop ceiling will take care of that

Thanks so much I sincerely appreciate

You are welcome

princenomics:
Does It means
One bag of cement to Four bags of sand?

Means 1 part of cement to 4 part of sand.

How do I mean
Any thing you used to measure will be in this form
people usually used head pan or paint bucket here .

1/2 bag of cement equal to 1 head pan or paint bucket ( big type)

Practical : 1/2 bag cement to 4 head pan or bucket.
Hope this is clear enough.

Next class will be tomorrow by 12pm
Where is my attendant sheet …. ( it’s 10 mark) part of your CA

AngelicBeing:
You, rotecch77, gbadexy the Big professional paint industry in Nigeria, spyder880 another big contractor in Eastern Nigeria have been getting multimillion Naira contracts all over Nigeria and you have ignored all the elders in this thread, una never drop kola nuts for the elders for more prayers for people like Hajj mufutau55, Egunmogaji, Myself, Ericko (the London guy)l hope l got his moniker right and the other London guy called Diordavids( l hope l got his moniker right) , so from today 1st December 2021, for every 100 million Naira contract una get, 10 percentage will be deducted from una for the elders of the thread

I remain loyal to all elders

obynocute:
I wouldn't mind, I thought rendering and plastering is the same, that's why I asked..

In theory and professional practice both are NOT the same.
Rendering; refers to external with ratio 1:4 ( or any special mix for special issue or work.
Plastering: refers to internal with ratio 1:5 or 1:6

plastering still in progress

rotecch77:
1:5 for the plastering
1: 4 for the rendering

Still on the plastering of this contemporary building

gbadexy:
Ask rotechh77

obynocute:
Boss please what's the difference between rendering and plastering.

You want to learn work ?

QSFemi:
What mortar mix ratio did you use for the plastering?

1:5 for the plastering
1: 4 for the rendering

spyder880:
I am at Waterock Enugu this morning.

Oh good
This look nice baba
I will call you this week to discuss sir

spyder880:
Oh, I bought these from an outfit called Waterock at Enugu. They have too many samples that I have used before and none has changed colour.

I think I should visit waterock this morning to look for bricks for another client.

May be I will see if I can get it from there down to Lagos

spyder880:
Yes, there are bricks that change colours, there are the ones used by Kolashango1 in Lagos which washed out during a rainfall. But I have used some bricks in my personal buildings and they are still same after many years.

I have been looking for this brick I can’t get it in Lagos

dongc:
I agree ...your plastering works are top notch �.....

Thanks chief

The Simplest Way To Calculate The Numbers Of Blocks U Need For Your Fence


The simplest way to calculate the numbers of blocks you need for your fence project, assuming you are fencing a land measuring 120 feet by 60 ft, a standard plot

This calculation is based on 9 inches block fence .
The measurement we are using is 120 ft (length) and since we have two lengths that is multiply by 2 which is 240 ft. (120 x 2) = 240

The breadth is 60 ft and also since we have 2 breadths that equal 120 ft (60 x 2) = 120
Then (240 + 120) that is 360 feet perimeter line fencing.

The calculation

(we are to convert this 360 feet to inches ) since a foot is 12 inches , now let us multiply 12 inches by 360 ft which is 4320 inches.

Now to get the line numbers of blocks that will go around the fence perimeters of 4320 inches or 360 feet, we would need to divide 4320 by 18 inches, since the length of any block be it 6 inches or 9 inches is 18inches.

Now 4320 inches divide by 18 inches is approximately 240 line of blocks , then we must multiply that by the numbers of coaches of blocks you want for your height, assuming 7 ft which is 9 coaches that means 240 multiply by 9 which is 2160 blocks and that is all you need anything aside from this is fake and fraud, this calculation is derive by me professionally and i have been using it without any mistake, but always remember to add 10 % of blocks to it because of broken blocks, and for this work, you only need 30 bags of cements, one bag of cement to 70 blocks, is standard.

for your pillars between the fence, let assume 6 blocks far from the next pillar, that means 6 divide by 240 which is 40 pillars, 1 bag of cement to 2 pillars standard, that is 17 bags plus 40 bags that is 47 bags is need by me to do this fence, if i'm in position and you should also to add 15 bags for floor blinding of the fence making 62 bags of cement.

Then, we need to minus the gate and the pillars that are also taking space in the fence.

The gate is 12 ft, let us assume the gate columns or pillars is 14 inches each, we have 2 pillars holding the gate, that is 28 inches or 2. 4 feet plus 12 feet that is 14.4 feet or approximately 15 feet.

Remember we already calculate the pillars that 40 pillars is need for the measurement.

Each pillar or column for 9 inches concrete is 9 inches square, 9 x 40 = 360 inches that is (30 feet + 15 feet = 45 feet ) / 18 inches = 30 blocks multiply by the number of coaches, 30 x 9 = 270 block minus 2160 blocks = 1890 blocks in total.

40 lengths of 12mm iron rod, since one pillar is equivalent to 1 length.

3 lengths of 16mm iron rod for the 2 big pillars holding the gate.

90 planks of soft wood for the framing.

30 tons of granite (granite would be use for the fence floor blinding and columns)

5 trucks of sharp sand

You tried but the bolded part sound somehow bcs
What you need is more than what you put there.

1. Where is block calculation for fence foundation

2. Where is reinforcement for column mat

3, where is 8mm reinforcement for columns link,
4. Binding wire, nails, etc

somehow:
I will chat you up on the Plastering job to see if we can work together.

I will be expecting
Thanks

somehow:
I guess you take up Plastering jobs too?

We take whole building construction work not only plastering.
But any one that comes our way either plastering, carcass, whole finishings we will be glad to take such
