@walexprojects
@abulitech will attend to your request.

I have a concern though. Why do plumbers always like to go to sites with bags. Unlike every other artisans, their bag is always with them whenever they’re working.

Why?

______

Experience has shown us they use their bag to steal materials from site.

You are right to some thief artisan.
But to me WHY plumber always goes to site with bags it’s bcs.
Most plumber always have many tools with them , they will NOT ask you any tools before they do there work( although there are some special tools you need to provide)

Unlike bricklayer: they will ask you
- shovel
- head pan
- sprit level/ plum
- range
- hammer
-Chisel
-tape
- They will even ask you food from your kitchen
So don’t expect them to come with bags to site

CAPENTER;will ask you
- plum
-rope
Once in a while

ELECTRICIAN;they usually come with there bag full of there tools; Nothing to ask you.

IRON BENDER ; Those one don’t have many tools only
Bending pipe, saw blade and pinches ( so no bag to carry along a-such

Abi I Dey lie nii.

I should have started an apartment for rent first before starting my residential home, money spent on the residential home so far would have completed this project you did

Oh , any way it’s never too late chief, once you finished the private building you will plan for rental one.
God will surely provide sir
Amen

bukolo:
Good evening.
Kindly assist with a good brand for 4inches thick pipe for plumbing.

Thank you.

Different location difference type of pipe product
Just buy thick waste pipe you have in your location you will be fine.

EgunMogaji2:
I'll gladly pay the N1,250 price difference. My time is worth more than the $2 difference. The time to work the plank and the cost of electricity/petrol and the saw blades.

Beta decision

Nero2424:
Are they roofing wood quality? Whhats the physical difference between both wood?

Both are roofing plank

The diff is that the 1st one is
12ft and very straight

The 2nd one 10.5ft looks rough, not straight enough, it’s the regular one you see at every plank mkt

EgunMogaji2:
I wish manageable quality like this could be found in Ibadan. They’ll at least give me a good start to plane and saw.

Thanks for sharing Sir.

The issue is that, in most western region plank seller association market, they peg it down that there wood size will be 10.5ft long and is killing the Beauty of formwork and others wood work finishings

You can only get special size in few mkt now ( let’s say 10pec) and when you hear the price you will run like USAIN BOLT

Sawmill Eku:
2 by 4=#1,900
2 by 3=#1,550
2 by 2=#1,100
2 by 6=#3,500
3 by 4=#2,000

This is price I got last week …… 11ft ooo (bandsaw)

But normal “fadala is
Full size
2 by 4=750
2 by 3=#600
2 by 2=#450
3 by 4=#1,250
2 by 6=#1,250
1 by 2=#2,500

Look at the price diff
My client said pls buy the “fadala “
The diff In price is too much

See Benin long straight roofing wood (about 19ft long)

n3xt:
Maybe it’ll cost a little more but at N3,000 / 0.6sqm (excluding studs and installation cost which is considerably reasonable), I think the cost would be cheaper than plastering/screeding/painting or plastering and applying tiles to achieve same result in the long run.



The pics below are naija installs. Currently working on one, would share final looks here and on kobocity.



I agree completely but it can’t be compared with the benefits of a material that offers more in terms of value.

1. Low maintenance
2. Durability (doesn’t crack or warp)
3. Aesthetically pleasing
4. Waterproof / Fireproof




Not new though. @dominionng has been using this for years.

Yes with that price its not that much
And as you said it’s been in existence for years
If you go to Erric moore tower estate area ( very close to BUILDER Sec ) you will find it on those estate building
Very soon I will need it on this 6 bedroom duplex ( pics attached)

n3xt:
Can this solution replace plastering, exterior and interior wall tiling or stucco finishing?

I think so.

One Material. Multiple Application.

Yes it will replace plastering
But what about the cost

Still available

ArcToyin:
Ok.

It was looking beyond 1.2m. Nice job anyway.

Thanks
You are welcome
