Sorry Boss, I remember seeing somewhere sometime you said 1.5mm is not good for earthing but that's what I can see on the last item here for earthing. Is it fine?

Sorry what do you mean by size, no vex I'm not a building person. It's a 5 Bedroom Terrace.

Lastly what do you think about labour. I already paid him 100k for the piping. This 200k looks much, how much do you think is fair.

1.5mm earth cable quoted is for socket and, AC and water heater wiring.

Your main load cable according is 10mm so your main earthing cable should be 6mm

What I mean by size is the number of bedrooms, bungalow or duplex. You have answered it.

You can negotiate the labour since the electrician is in Abuja.

That means you have two distribution boards

Can you confirm what's the 6mm going to be use for?

sethtsadopp:
Please I received this quote from my electrician for Electrical cabling.
Kindly help me review, is it okay or bloated.
And which one is advisable to go for between the two cables.
Location - Abuja.

The two cables are good. Cutix cable is in the class with Nigerchin and kabelmetal. You can't compare them to Coleman. Am not saying Coleman is good just that the second brand of it has flooded the open market if you are not buying from right source.

Also, what is the size of the building before I can comment on the quantity

Thanks for your calls

Quality light for your project

KolaShangOne:
I feel its much if its just first stage.

First stage means no external works, right? So I don't think he needs that much 4 inch pipes.

He did not specify whether internal. To me he did not specify whether internal or external

Happy Sunday to you

Thanks for your calls

Please help me to review the quotation for the first stage plumbing work of 3 bedroom bungalow apartment(150 square meter).

The plumbing quote is okay but I guess you are not installing water heater because no hotline pipe in the quote attached .

Thanks

Billyjim:
Hello everyone the attached image is the quotation given to me by my technician for stage two wiring installation. Kindly help me review it. Does labour cost worth it for 3 bedroom apartment of 150 square meter. The workmanship cost for the stage one (conduit pipe installation ) was charged separately which was 40,0000 naira. Thank you in advance

Why did he quoted for 6mm red since the 10mm is feeding the distribution board either from cut out or changeover.
Do u have a separate DB for inverter/solar? If YES that means he is using the 6mm for the single phase DB. If NO there is no need of 6mm red

Yiu can negotiate the labour, quite high.

Also, I can't see earth cable for the distribution board in the quote, is he using 1.5mm green to earth the building, minimum size he can use is 4mm/6mm. IEE and British standard says not less than half of the load cable should be used as earth cable becos. It serves as neutral if your neutral fails

Aventures:
So far xhinna PPR is still better than PVC. Some.ywars back my client insisted on German PPR product so I search and I got a contact of a company called critall at Ebute metta then I went there, to my surprise I saw them emptying their warehouse and loading it into container and I asked them questions and the guy that attend to me said the landing cost only is far higher than Chinese market retail price so they were sending the items back to France. So majorly it is Chinese PPR that is affordable and Turkey is good as well

And you can hardly differentiate china PPR from Turkey PPR. Henco pipe is still the best

Hello,

I have roofed my building without a lightning arrester, can anything be done to rectify this?

And when is the appropriate time to do the earthing?

Thanks

Did you get my message

On going project

AC first fix on going

Nice to see this ..

abuiltech:
Although China ppr is cheaper, the issue is the service life, nominal working pressure, reliability, turkey ones are the best especially hakan, for plumbing, the quality of materials is essential, and no amount is too much to be incurred for having rest of mind,

Well said

sonnie10:
I like this. Do you label the switches and put a sticker on the cover panel to indicate which switch is for what?

Yes we do. We call it circuiting.

sonnie10:
Good job you are doing. Will the finished work look like this?
This set up makes life so easy. Just flip a switch when it trips.
Every one of them is labeled on the panel cover.

This is how the finished work look like

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks

It can be done if you your overhead water tank is on the roof or close to the building. The lightning arrestor covers about 45m radius for the conventional type called spike.

Also the you can do your earthing when you are pulling the cables ...

Also if you don't any sensitive equipment in the building, You can do only earthing system ..

cretin:
very neat job,
is there any advantage having it on the surface, instead of hidden or buried in the block work?
prefer the buried type

It's a renovation project and the client want it surface ... Most of our new installations are recessed in the wall.

See below pictures
