Update on Ibadan Project

Nnamekus1:
Good morning fellow Nairalanders.
Please how much can it cost me to plaster a 5 bedroom Bungalow all en-suite with visitor's toilet?
Someone gave me a quotation of 150 bags of cement, 12 trips of sand and ₦750,000 for workmanship. This includes the windows and pillars designs.

Is it Okay?

Hope all the electrical, plumbing and AC first fix has been done before the commencement of plastering. I mean the conduit work

Thanks

TrumXray:
Thanks Engr. If we are using PVC knock out, will it still be the same quantity or how many pieces do we have in a park?

It's going to be the same quantity.
For 3*3 box 10pcs per packet
3*6 box is 5pcs per packet
3-way box 20pcs per packet

I don't know the agreement you have with as per the electrical installation but let me give the breakdown of what you should tell him to do.

For each too. Double socket to be 3-numbers
2 to be by the bedside
One facing the bed where the TV location is going to be. Single socket at high level for the TV power

Master bedroom.
2 double socket to be by the bedside
1double to the adjacent to the bed
1-double socket to be at the TV location (low levels)
1 single socket at high level for TV power

TrumXray:
Thanks for the feedback.
The roofing job is just completed so the next phase is getting thr conduit fittings done. Your quote towards this will be highly appreciated.
In addition to what is above, there is laundry, small space for bar, ante room, 4bedroom, a standard sitting room, perimeter fence, generator house.
I think, using single phase DB will be quite fine as you have said..

Thanks for sharing these sir, the quantities of pipes is okay.

Coupler should be 5pkts
Male bush should 4pkts
20mm Y-box should be 3pkts
3*6 knockout box is 8pkts

Let him change all the knockout boxes to PVC type. Galvanized is not the best.

TrumXray:
Wat can you say about this quote sir?

Please which is better between bottle trap and P trap?

Bottle trap is for wash hand basin and kitchen sink while the P or S-trap is for for the installation of bathtub

EgunMogaji2:
I have the same issue in my bq.

1) Redo the exterior plumbing.

2) Create s new path of least resistance by venting the soakaway directly.

3) Do the internal drains properly as pictured. Introduce a P trap.

J-bend is what they called trap. It will retain some water and prevent odour from coming in

tikristinimi21:
@topsy23 how can this return of bad odour be .corrected. It's a serious concern in my build.

Better to separate the waste pipe and soil pipe. Also tell your plumber to use magic waste for all the wash hand basin and also use floor drain with trap.

Thanks

Good day all, please i need help with this quotation from my plumber, the quote is for a 3 bedroom external plumbing to the septic tank/soak away as well as installing the tank on the concrete slab of the said building, with two taps outside the house, i am more concerned with the quantity of pipes he quoted and his workmanship, he said its 4 inches pipe that is used for both waste water and (sh!t) and he quoted 33 pieces, attached is the quote, thanks all.

I believe the quote is fair enough. Also he's right for 4inch pipes to be used for soil and waste pipes. He need to separate the waste pipes from the soil to avoid return of bad odour through your floor drain and wash hand basin

I saw this clean installation of ppr pipes on Instagram. This is Tanzania (Africa) not the west.

The cost saving with the style is what intrigues me, limited breaking , less plastering = less cement & sand. Less labor.

It’s hammer and chisel our plumbers like

One day we will get there.

Check this also. Our Ibadan Project

Blessedpikin:
Professionals in the house I really need your advice. I’m worried about the circled area around the verandah of my build I told the engineer handling the project I’m not comfortable leaving the design like that hence he should introduce a pillar to support that angle cos of the weight. Please kindly advice

To me having pillar is good to support the weight

Focusmind:
Very neat work - The block seems to be 4 inch sef.

But i think our own very Topsy or Skimanski can deliver something like this, even though people hardly invest in tools in Nigeria

Thanks for the mention

Oga topsy
For a 4bedroom bungalow with anteroom and sitting room with security block.

For a standard 3bedroom flat with the following features

AC 5nos
Water heater 4Nos
Cooker unit 1
Laundry unit 1
lighting point
Socket outlet
External light
CCTV Camera
Electrical Fencing
What size of DB will you recommend and what about using 3phase of main building and 1phase for fence lighting and other things outside the main building

Sir, for the standard 4bedroom bungalow 6-ways 3-phase DB is okay. Why having a separate DB for the external or common service area? Is it a service apartment ? If it is not a service apartment you can make use of one DB.

Ideal quote for lighting or the conduit aspect which is the first fix? Let me know your feedback

I just paid N100K for 10 tons of granite in Ibadan. I paid N74K about a month ago.

Good luck to those starting new builds. We’ve entered into new territory.

Bought 90k on Friday

Aventures:
Well said. It is even becoming difficult to get labour this days and this affect delivery time of project. I kw so many young chaps and artisans that used to work for us back then they are all yahoo boiz now.

They are looking for quick money . Baba ijebu (Loto) and Nairabet also contributed to it.

rotecch77:
Infact it’s serious issue oo
Now ordinary labour (helper ) collecting 3500-4500
Bricklayer 4500-5000 per 5-6hrs

My supplier called me this morning that TMT tiger rod is now 470k per tn

Yes you are right oga mi, most of the technicians now demanding for 5,000naira per day and they will still be asking for additional money for food.

Thank you so much

You are welcome sir

Kingdemu:
Pls will a solar system need a voltage stabilizer? And when installing a central stabilizer for a home which has a solar system already installed, should the central stabilizer be connected to PHCN alone or alongside the solar system? Thanks.

When you have a central stabilizer your solar inverter is fully protected with the stabilizer. Remember your solar inverter is an hybrid system. Two sources of charging, SUN and PHCN. Good protect it.

Good day all. plumbers and experienced builders in the house, please I want to ask, do they usually put blocks before installing overhead (roof) tank? My plumber said it's to increase the pressure. Please how safe and accurate is this? Thanks.

It's a good idea having a plinth for overhead water storage tank on the roof .. Not advisable to put it on the roof slab just like that
