Those earning little but wishing to have a duplex will benefit more as the breakdown will help them know how they can achieve their dreams with their little earnings. Stage by stage, they will finish it

Maybe a simple 4bedroom duplex design.....
OK... noted

With an old design, we can compare and contrast

With a new design, we still learn but we cannot so easily compare and contrast what has changed, or how you have decided now to do things differently
The advantage of a new design is a new challenge - If we use the old design, we only need to calculate rates, as the quantities are same...

New designs gives the opportunity to re-learn. thanks

Good afternoon Chief Engineers and Architects

Please can someone assist with a good plan sample for a 3 bedroom flat that's not too complex in cost to erect.
Good linkages, lighting and ventilation.
I've seen a couple here on NL but would love to see more recent ideas.
Plot size is 50ft (breadth) by 70ft(depth inside the plot).

Thanks in anticipation

Chief, I was referring to the prices that I bought my tiles, not the standard practice in the industry.
Why I made that clear was because I somebody gave me his prices in pr sqm too.

Regisster:
1. Thanks for this information, please a quick one, based on the following prices you gave, how many pieces are in a carton, for the various sizes you bought.

2. Can you please show pictures of what these tiles look like, and if the tiler has installed any, let's see the job delivery.

3. Can this tiler work in Lagos, that's if they're done with your job of cos.


Thanks a lot, awaiting your valuable response.
GBAM....
U SEE THAT NO1 QUESTION IS THE REASON WHY IT'S MORE PROFESSIONAL TO GIVE PRICES IN M2.

because 10 CARTOON OF GOODWILL 40X40 TILES IS NOT SAME AS 10 CARTOONS OF ROYAL 40X40 TILES (for eg).

Quantity differs....

So, to save yourself the headache, USE SQM as basic of calculating and add 10% waste.

Then tell the seller I need XYZ SQM of tile and let him do the maths... (except you can do it yourself)

Eg if I'm buying tiles, after asking for the price, I ask for the number per cartoon and convert to M2 to know how many I'll need.



TanQ.....

MrOkenwa:
The prices are given per carton, not sqm.
This statement is NOT true sir.... Actually professionals give prices in SQM for tiles... But because it might be complex to the common man, price / cartoon is more popular.

Just a note sir.... To mean he's not wrong to have used a more professional method of quoting.

I miss eating this flying termites, gone are those days in the late 90s, we are all hunters in the area (Trenches) when it come to this flying termites called Esunsun or Iba as called by we Yorubas, Igbos call it Aku, this termites is said to be very nutritious, so rich in protein.
My childhood experience is incomplete without talking about hunting of Esunsun, snails and fruits, so funny unforgettable experience.
This insect comes out at night following light, sometimes in the early morning when it's still dark.
Esunsun are actually termites that fly, very proteinous and nutritious. Known as Macrotermes bellicosus scientifically.
I won't say much about the peptides and all other biochemical and microbiological information about this insect.

Please what is this type of roofing sheet called. Is it as good as longspan roofing sheet.
This are Zinc and Aluminium roofing sheets - but they're not as good as Longspan.

It's better to use Longspan or Asbestos roofing sheet (IN MY OPINION)

Hi,

I got a 2bedroom flat because the place is close to me and my wife place of work.we couldn't get a 3bedroom around the area cos that was the one we saw at the time and it was not costly.

But here is the problem I have a 19yrs old boy waiting for admission and a 16yrs old girl in ss3 but I don't know how to allocate the 2 bedroom maybe my wife and I should take one and leave the other room for my son and daughter but my girl is already a lady and she doesn't want to share a room with her brother,,am also thinking my wife should share one room with our daughter while I share the remaining room with my son but what if me and my wife need each other.

Where we relocated from we had 3 bedrooms and everyone had his room but because that was the only apartment near and less costly we had to take it.
The girl gets the bedroom and the guy can sleep in the living room - but he still needs to use the room occasionally when she's free....
