Guru in d building, a solution to a building that's going to a story building buh d waste pipe wasn't install before d lintel thou the decking have not taken place,

Let them make provision for the decking soil and waste pipes. The ground floor or German floor can be rectify later.

Also the pipes suppose to have pass through lintel before casting. Breaking of the lintel won't be nice if you have round lintel or chain lintel. The reinforcement would be pressed or affected when Chisseling the lintel in future for passing the pipes.

I have no idea about electrical and plumbing work in construction. Can you guys please suggest a plan for wiring this house?

There would be a washing machine, cooker, and freezer in the kitchen. Generator and 2 Air cons. and water pumping machine

Thank you

cc topsy23

Your electrician should follow this step sir.
-Have 3 socket in each room apart from master Bedroom
-Master bedroom should have 4 socket
- TV point in each room
- Water heater in the bathrooms
-AC power outlet in all rooms
- 4nos reces light in each room
-He should also make provision for strip/rope light depending on your ceiling design.
- Let all your light be on solar inverter if you plan to have one. It will reduce the cost of electricity bills.
-Separate your raw power DB from Inverter DB. You can install single phase DB for inverter
- if all the appliances in the kitchen are going to be recess in the cabinet, let him provide a control switch for the socket

PLUMBING
Use correct pipe for your cold water supply and hot water supply line
- Let him use measuring tape and not couch/block during measurement to avoid wrong installation.
- Let him make provision for washing machine water supply pipe and also the drainage pipe.

SamIsreal:
Hello everyone, I've been a guest here for a long time, gathering valuable information that has greatly assisted me with my project.

I've decided to create an account because I need help understanding the quotes an electrician provided me.

The quotes are for both full conduit piping and half conduit piping. I've attached the quotes for your reference.

The project location is Ile-Ise Awo, Idi Ori, Abeokuta.

Thank you.

Full conduit is better as TwinsKenny said earlier. Leaving your cables inside the ceiling void without protecting is not the best
practice. Safely and Protection is very key to avoid bridging of cable(live and neutra).

Those are okay if he's buying correct materials. Let him him give you analysis of what he plan to install I. e
BEDROOM 1

Billions123:
Thanks everyone for your input regarding the water pressure.

I will explore the suggestions and see what works.

Before you install pressure pump, you need to sure all your cold water supply pipes can withstand pressure of at least 5bar to avoid story that touch..

Thank you.

twinskenny:
25mm aluminum is okay but please make sure is the one with full guage

Yes any of the Nigeria cables imported cables are not full gauge. Purechem, Coleman, Nigerchin.

Beframia:
3 ACs and 1 water heater.
Considering a single phase meter.

25mm reclin cable is okay.. Note reclin is an aluminium cable.

Beframia:
@ Topsy23 and Twinskenny:
What size of recline cable would you recommend to connect a 4-Br residential building to the mains electricity?

How many AC and water heater do u have.


Also, are you using 3 phase meter or single phase meter

Ayohbk:
Hello all,

We decided to proceed with the renovation of the building in Lagos and I insisted on doing everything according to the books. So we've paid safety commission, town planning, omo onile money. These already costs over 3m already. According to the engineer only Labca approval is remaining. I told him I don't want backdoor approval. So he sent me this list, that's requested from Labca official. Which totals over 4.3m. I think This expenses are outrageous. Can someone please help verify if this is how things are done? cc diordaves acmebuilding billions123

Lagos State is really making hell of money with this lis. I believe the 2.2m for tax can be negotiated.

BIGGIE121:
Chai .. it wasn't long (last month) we left Abuja oooo.

Anyways good luck

Was in Abuja on Saturday too.. Mabushi area. We have a renovation work in that area.. Wike is really working in Abuja. Serious road construction is really going on there

Celepope:
In one of my project, the person doing the plastering is saying he isn’t going to plaster the deckings in the first and second floor of the house because they will be covered by PoP. Also he is saying he doesn’t plaster (rough) kitchens and bathrooms because the tiler will still end up making use of plastering mix while installing tiles in these areas. Are these normal?

You might not necessarily plaster the decking if you want consider using pop in all the area. For the kitchen and toilet you don't need to do a smooth plastering in those areas if you are installing full wall tiles.

michlins:
nothing bulletproof about that door. Tell the seller to stand behind the door and you shoot

Check my post very well. Did I mention bulletproof? It's just ordinary Security door.

Celepope:
What types of Security door is the best to buy for the main door of a house and that of the back (kitchen) I am seeing various options like: Copper doors, Cast doors, Aluminum and so on. They're all confusing because I heard there are a lot fake in the market now. Are Copper doors really bullet proof? What's the difference between cast doors, copper made doors and actual bullet proof doors? Anyone with the knowledge of Security doors should please share their thoughts. Thanks

My client bought this door at Onitsha, we used it at Nnewi. It's a security door 5ftx7ft. See the picture below.. Manufactured in Turkey.

christ007:
Dose anyone know the current price and sand and granite in Asaba please any one who know and have someone in asaba that know the price of sand per trip and granite 10 tons please

Don't know much about Asaba but this is what they are selling in Nnewi as at yesterday that we bought

Plastering sand 5 ton #80 000,
Sharp sand #110 000.
Cement #10 000 per bag

dollarnaira:
Thanks bro.
What of my home or any other good product?

My home is also good or Interdab

dollarnaira:
Please, is USK submersible pump good?
About buying 0.5h of it. How will I recognize copper coil? I need energy efficient one.

I have not use or install this type of pump before but a client bought it about 3years ago for his borehole. I don't know how strong is the pump anyway.

rotecch77:
You are welcome, at time to give free help here do tiring , someone callled me few days here to get quote for a job to my surprise he said he can’t give job to an Engr / Yoruba tribe and he is a Yoruba man …although I respect his opinion..
But when issue comes they will come here to ask for advise /quotation advice
All is well oo
Make nobody quote me oo ‘ I Dey on fasting “lolz

Hmmmm... I have prepared bill of quantities for client on this forum. It's an estate in Abuja. I gave a detailed BOQ without appreciating my effort.. Preparing a detail BOQ require a lot of time, energy, money, etc... Some people don't know. I don't charge for preparing a detailed BOQ because it's one of my hobby also part of me. But don't try it with QS because that's what they do for their daily bread.

It's nice to give advice boss. Don't relax and don't stop giving solution to someone's problem or issue . God will help us....

RandomForest:
Experience plumbers in the house and Engineers please I need help on this.

Can a 4 inch pipe serve 4 bathrooms (and kitchens) from 4 units of 1 bedroom flat. To be clear, the plumber run all connections to the Septic tank with a 4 inch PVC pipe. But a friend that was sent to survey the work is suggesting we change the pipe that takes from the chamber (where all 4 flats have been connected) to the Septic tank ( 23m distance) into 6 inch pipe. His reason is that 4 inch pipe would block easily. Is this correct?

Your plumber is right... 100mm(4inches) pipe is okay for the waste water to your soakaway pit. That's the normal practice

mrphysics:
Experienced water drillers, I need your help. I did a geophysical survey (please see the attached picture).

I am worried about the closeness of the water point to the building. I would like to know if the drilling will not affect the building?

I need responses please.

The location must have been chosen based on geophysical/ geotechnical survey. The location is not too close since you are drilling a borehole and not a well. The size of the borehole should be 6inches so don't think it will affect the building

odimbannamdi:
Please, still upload yours as soon as you are able. Thanks

I will try

odimbannamdi:
Is it possible that this issue could have spotted and probably avoided if the fittings were available almost as soon as the plumbing works was completed, and the plumber installing thr fittings almost immediately?

The best is to involve the experience guy during the first stage of the project.. There is no way you can install fittings immediately after pipe works. Remember, the place must be tiled (both floor and walls).. The only way it can be avoided is by engaging experience plumber or get the measurement right from the on set

rotecch77:
It’s a serious failed job hahaha
The plumber and the handler totally failed on this
As you said it’s total overhauling of those waste piping system to accommodate new setup, this time around a good handler should handle it.
Here is the diagram to buttress your point

Thank you very much sir, I have been trying to upload the one I have but wasn't successful

ceelog:
Morning Experts.

Please how does one correct an error of toliet waste pipe being too high and requiring raising the toliet seat with block during installation?
The option of raising the toilet seat with block is annoying. And breaking and raising the entire bath and toliet floor with an already fixed door is also posing a problem.
Tiling has been done.

Any experince and possible neat solution to this?
Thanks.

The plumber got it wrong from the beginning of the pipe installation. There is normal height for WC waste pipe from the finished floor level and from the one-meter or defence level level.
Close couple 160mm
Basin waste 530mm
Supply 600mm

Conceal
Waste 280mm

Basin
Waste 530mm

Supply 600mm

Some artisans like using courses as against proper measuring tapes and and this will definitely have negative effect when installing the fittings. The use of plum, one-meter level or defence height is very important ,the height of the fittings is very key in plumbing installation.

Standard operating procedures must be followed. Both Electrical, plumbibg and AC have measurement to be followed.

The best solution now is to re-run the pipes and follow the proper mounting height. ... I find difficult to upload the mounting details but will try later.
