But then they all look alike

Yes they look alike but driving more earth rod when you use copper coated before you can get value less than 1-ohm

sethtsadopp:
Bosses, please I got this quote for earthing? Is it fair enough and which of the 3 options will you advice to go for? He said I should choose one of the 3, I guess difference is in the quality of materials.


Cc topsy23 twinskenny

Which location are you?

The most original earth rod which is 4ft in Lagos is N9000 followed by:
6000 ( close to original
4000 (copper coated)

Also 6ft original 15,000 follow
9000 close to original
6,000 copper coated

It’s a 4 bedroom duplex on half plot

Budget between 200 - 250k for the following listed below

Installation of light fittings
Installation of switches and socket
Connection water heater
Earthing
Connection of pump
Supply cable from pole

But note that you will need to involve phcn officials or estate people for connecting to Grid

TEQ365VENTURES:
Good evening ppl, please what’s the fair price to pay for Labour of electrical installation that involves: earthing of the house, installation of sockets and switches, chandeliers and cables ready to tap from the pole it’s a 4 bed duplex.. thanks

It will be somehow difficult to give you price because we don't know the size of your project. Maybe it's 2bedroom, 3bedroom, duplex (number of rooms)

We give a complete design for the project with client brief

Ijede Ikorodu

One peculiarity about this project is that central AC to be used on ground floor and it was a lovely design

Good evening my people, so I just want to advice people on here not to make the mistake I made with pop, always ensure to choose your designs and have a solid conclusion, I’m not satisfied with my pop designs as I just let them do their thing.. however we move.

Please what do you guys think of this pop staircase bar design ? Boring in my option but then.. what can I do to bring it to live ? Someone suggested putting glass inside the boxes ?

Note: interior painting hasn’t been done, just screeding.

Inputs will be appreciated, thanks

I can see some cables outlet on the wall. Thinking the place would be used as picture frames with beaming of light

Hello oga topsy.. eku iseh na. Pls i av a land av fenced gated and even built d security house... am thinking of starting my foundation soon but i don't think i will be moving to d site in d next 5years. Or 10 depends cos I wants my kids to finish primary in lagos dats for d next 5years and if all my plans is on point.. or better still they finish their secondary school and we move down... dat one no story we must move.. to kwara state.

Am in a dilemma to do my bore hole now... so i can use for d moulding of my blocks and d building.... av done d survey and am drilling to hundreds meters....
Also d saying dat drilling of boreholes after d building is not good due to d weight of d machine.....



Pls should i drill now.

You can drill the borehole if the fund is available .. price of things are not stable .. drill and if you notice that the area is not safe you can keep the machine to avoid stealing .. But let the driller flush the borehole to your satisfaction

Successbay:
You nailed it sir. I do not work in Lagos and most times not physically on ground. When is the time to start visiting offices..But with this experience, one may be forced to take out times to do the needful, cos it seems knowing one's place of work is now a needful before contracting out jobs or committing funds..

Better in that way

JWhite2Deep:
Thank you. I have received it. I observed that Labour cost is not included. That should be based on agreement I guess? But is there a standard based on the amount of materials purchased to determine what to budget for Labour?

Labour cost will depend on location anyway

JWhite2Deep:
Can also send to my email please deepwhitej@gmail.com

Sent

We can also supply you quality cables

What if I'm already living in a screeded house without electrical fittings?

You can fix it before the final painting

Hycon:
I greet you all.

Please could anyone here state the cost of architectural design of a 3-4 bedroom bungalow.

What does it mean to have the electrical and mechanical drawings done separately?

Thanks in advance!

I don't know the cost of architectural drawings but my own input is that you need to have MEP drawings if you are going for approval .. but to me it's necessary to have anyways even though tye drawings is not going through approval

Twostep:
Good evening my people, in finishing stage.. does electrical fittings come before painting? Screeding has been done, electrical fittings and furniture (cupboards wants to commence but painter insists he paints first while furniture and electrician insist they do their work first before painting.

Please how best does one go about this ? How do you guys get it done ?

Thank you.

If you are doing screeding, electrical can come after screeding. But you must apply first coat before installation of fittings

WhatsApp is down .. I don't if anybody notice

Yes I'm experiencing it too

I really didn’t know anything about German flooring till I began searching on properties on nairaland, I nor even know say section for buildings dey nairaland..so to your question, all the houses over here are built without German floor,to be fair “all I have seen here”, so I guess the engineer just went with what’s rampant..I already told him to include iron rods and the black waterproof( I found that out from here) when we plan to floor the grounds.. he said it wasn’t necessary but I insisted o…though we chained the whole buildings round, both inside and outside before filling with sand.

The foundation is high .. kudos to you boss

henrymor:
Good morning guys,

I need suggestions and advice on increasing the electric power in my house.

The current in my area don't even power my inverter ac conveniently.

So, some one suggested that I can buy a 5000w stabilizer to stabilize and increase the current output in my home.

Another person said there is a central stabilizer called prag or A&E that can increase the electric current power in my house.

Please, I need help ooooh

What should I do?

I have 2 questions to ask you based on your comment above .

1- Did you check the voltage reading on any of your small stabilizer/voltage regulator you have at home the value of supply voltage ?
2- At peak period i.e between the hour of 5pm and 9pm you need to check the value of voltage to be sure of peak period voltage.

If you plan to get the central stabilizer, we must know the total load in your house e.g.
-Number of AC
-Number of water heater
Number of lighting point
-Number of socket .etc

All these are required to get the rating of stabilizer required.

You can not just jump into 5000W for a central stabilizer when your building is a duplex or tye total load is 10,000W REMEMBER it won't work.

Also, we need to know if your connection to your building is 3-phase connection or single phase connection . It won't be advisable to install single phase stabilizer if you have 3-phase equipment in your house ... It will not work.

Your choice of stabilizer voltage range will depend on the minimum value of voltage in your area. Some stabilizer voltage range is low as 90V - 230V while some are
100V - 230V,
110V-230V
Etc

I went to my site today..flood enter inside the house of those around me..it entered my compound but did not enter the house..when I did the high foundation way above the road , the neighbors said I shouldn’t had, as flood doesn’t get to the area, but this one taught everyone a lesson.
I think high foundations should be done more in Nigeria.

Is the place a Waterlog area?
