So Yesterday: A thief was caught in a street, closer to a site (that we're transforming~ interior). He broke through the fence of another compound just to gain access to a site, to steal Wires. Similar Situation at one of our site, broke through the Pop just to gain access to the building & stole the wires .
Last year , thief/thieves bypassed an heavily guarded Estate Securities just to steal Wires
Of course other things might get stolen. (Many Similar Stories also, here on this thread)

Ɓut what's this desperation with Wires.

Home owners Please Protect your Wires 000h!!! (Protect your Site/Building/Home).

Topsy23 & Twinskenny is there a hidden diamond in Wires that we don't know about!!!. (Sarcasm)

What they need is the copper . Copper is very expensive now and one thing that baffles me most is the amount they are are selling those cables .. The last one that happened on my site, the river all cables worth of 975k and sold it as scrap for just 25k .. imagine that. Unemployment is the main issues in this country.

Good afternoon house, my name is David, I am a silent reader on this forum for a very long time. I really appreciate all the professionals on this forum for a good work and also all their contributions.

I have this question that I need to ask our professionals in the house in which I believe solutions would be provided.

I have a 2-storey building working on;
Ground floor --- Office place
first floor --Office place
Second floor --2 units of 3bedrrom flat

Ground floor has 7pcs of 1.5hp AC
First floor has 8pcs of 1.5hp AC

Second floor which is the residential apartment has 8pcs of 1.5hp AC.

Note: Note all AC are inverter type.

Total no of socket is 123
total number light LED panel light for offices 52
12w led recess light 16

For the residential apartment;
recess light 60
cooker 2
water heater 3

Now EKEDC said the building won't be connected directly to pole because of the size , they said it will require a transformer. They are asking me for the load.

Pls house help me look at the above breakdown help me out. My electrician don't understand all these . I will appreciate your input

Twinskenny Topsy23, Kolashongone, Rotetech,

Pls drop your comments here so that other people can benefit as well.

Thanks

Good afternoon sir, Find below the load calculation based on the listed items above. But i included your pump since its not part of the list posted above.

The total KVA rating is 80KVA with the require diversity factors.

You need to give them this and have rest of mind. The building can be connected to 415V line since the total current demand is 112A.

Good morning my people,

I need your opinions on decision making, will 10M finish this building with painting (in and out) ? The up lintel has been casted, so project will resume at laying 2 couches till finishing.

- Front pillars haven’t also been done yet,
- Parapet (casting since I have some granite on site already)
-Roofing (Gerrad)
-wiring
-tilling
-pop
Screeding etc till the end.


Kindly let me have your inputs guys, will be well appreciated.

Below is a picture of the plan and the building itself.

If the ground floor piping has been done before the decking(LAY BEFORE CASTING) then the first floor piping to done after the roofing.

Also, note that all conduit work must be completed before plastering. Electrical, Plumbing and HVAC first fix.

Good afternoon

Thank u sir

Good Evening house ,


I moved into my build on Sunday and since then I have been issues with my mojec prepaid meter. Every house around will be having light except my building , the meter will supply electricity for minutes and go off again .


Now there's light everywhere again except my building , I went to the PHCN office nearest to me and they said it's because the current is low what is the way forward , they can't say anything reasonable .


Please I need help abeg.



Topsy23 Twinskenny , Rotech77 , Egunmagaji2 . Please I need help o

Congratulations sir for the successful completion of the project. Yoruba will say ILE ATURA OOO..

On the issue of low VOLTAGE you are experiencing in your area presently is due to overloading on the transformer you have in your area. Your house is a bit far from the transformer location I guess and this low voltage is caused by voltage drop along the line.

You can install an AVR which is AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR.at the power intake to the building.

Above can only be done if your prepaid meter was not installed on the pole.

But those your neighbors using the old type of prepaid meter would be enjoy BECAUSE those meters hardly read on LOW voltage.

Also, you need to confirm the value of voltage you have before you order for the AVR and if you prepaid meter is 3-phase you must get a 3-phase stabilizer too

Goodmorning all. Please any kind Samaritan that can help me with the square meter of this plan. The square meter of the sitting room, kitchen, dinning area and entrance. I have called 2 different pop guys and dey giving me different higher measurements than my bricklayer

The dimensions above is in millimeters. And since the questions you raised is sqm

So 1000mm = 1m

So where you have 4000mm converting it to meter gives 4m

Olumighty123:
Ogun state sir, atan otta to be precise

Should be within that range

Olumighty123:
Please who has idea on how much tilers charge per square metre?

Should be between 400 and 500 depend on your location
