Thanks to everyone

FEGEITOK:
My masons are saying they do 1 part cement to 16 parts fine sand (plaster sand), that I am wasting money.

What ratios do you use for your plastering(rendering)?

They say there isn't much difference between my formula and theirs

To me if the septic tank and soakaway is well covered no snake can come in through it. Again the manholes/chambers must be protected with cover as well. Snake can only sneak in through an open outlet. Always use vent cowl to cover all vent pipes . Don't leave an open pipe without cap plug..

Should we then stay away from Coleman for the time being or it's just a bad batch?

Hajji M.

Not really sir, just that too much of production errors these days. Maybe it's because of demand

Hmmm God will save us all

Still having issue with the coleman cables, Alot of manufacturing errors. Joint cables of about 3coils and this one is for my personal site

After over a year consistently on this thread, i will be patronising a vendor from this thread... I have always been avoiding that due to the numerous, not too palatable issues in the past but i will buy wood and other accessories worth a million naira from hslbroker2....
He has promise to do POD... I have promise to pay him IMMEDIATELY.... My carpenter and Engr will received the truck, count the wood, ensure it's okay and they will signal me to pay... Hslbroker2 has ASSURED me that what he's bringing will be of utmost quality, not MIX, exact specification and i will be happy with it... I will come here to give feedback... If this goes through, then i will consider this thread for my window/door/plumbing etc... It's my little way of saying, Thank you to the thread and the MEN here, i always receive valuable info.

God will provide for you sir. To build these days takes the Grace of God

Okay but it's his quote...I won't be the one asking for a review..he is starting tomorrow.. it's only piping

The quantities are okay sir

debeey87:
Good afternoon. I am still seeking input on the plumbing quote(material qty) attached for 4kitchens, 5bathrooms with toilet and a visitors toilet.

The plumber splitted the quote into two for internal works and external. We plan water heater for each of the 4 bathroom.

The last quote excluded water heater for the list of plumbing accessories.

Kindly help with reviewing the quantities for the job.

I attached the floor plan to help review the position of each kitchen and toilet.
Cc topsy, abuwasec, next
Thank you

The price is okay

Someone here once talked about the bolded, can't remember what page. But does this cable tray goes well in a residential build? Wouldn't the cables become too visible!!

You can use cable try in residential building so far the client is ready to pay. It won't be visible since everything is going to be in the ceiling void

n3xt:
In few days, I’ll be pulling some cables in one of my ongoing projects and we chose to do cable tray.

My client asked “Why?”

I replied “It makes visual inspections of cables possible and easier. Also it’s much easier and less stressful to maintain cables in trays.”

>> To cable tray or not to cable tray? | What’s your take and pls share your why?

Easier to maintain but using cable tray is more expensive than normal PVC pipes.
Also, you can not use single core cable on cable trays. You have to go for flexible cables i.e double insulation cable which is 2-core, 3-core cables

Cassie74:
Hello Topsy...i need your comments/review on this piping...it's supposed to be for a one story building with a room penthouse, kitchen dining and sitting room downstairs, two rooms first floor and a penthouse , topmost.... the initial amount was for both buildings..workmanship is not 75k( for one only).. they are twin buildings but only piping one...

The unit cost of those materials are high. He need to review the price

megacontrol:
Impressive as usual.

At what stage is this termination done? Immediately after wiring or they leave it come back when installing fittings?

Thanks

Can be done immediately after Cabling is completed or during fittings . It depends . We might have some cabling work during fittings

I planted more flower, trees and even a garden inside the compound. I just love to be seeing a lot of plants inside my compound.

Look good having trees and garden within the compound. My concern is the snake

Muyi002:
Hi Good People,
Eventually went for Iron.

Next is tiling o.
Please any idea on the ideal measurement for cement of tiling. I.e. how many bags of cement to square meter both floor and wall

Hope you have done the electrical and plumbing to avoid breaking the walls and tiles in future. I can not see any external lighting point around the house

Tsuccesssquare:

Good morning to everyone. Happy Sunday to you

EgunMogaji2:
Let me defer to the pros on this. But will add that we did use some 1.0mm.

Yes we can use 1mm but don't overload the 1mm when using 1mm cable because the maximum current that 1mm can carry is 15A and for the 1.5mm is 24A.

justified007:
I am more concerned about the quality of the cables he listed

That's the major concern . Fake cables outside there

justified007:
My electrician submitted this quotation for the wiring of my 3 bedroom flat and I will need my seniors input on the cables he want to use.


Are these cables strong enough to power Acs and electrical items ?

Quantities not that bad only if he's using quality cable . But 1.5mm green could be reduce to 3coils

PAPAFEELERS:
Please does anyone in the house knows or can help out with the needed informations;

1. The prevailing price /cost of a 0.5HP water pressure pump booster for improving water supply into the house
2. Which brand will be good for use
Cc: Rottech, NEXT, Spyder, Hajji, Egunsbaba, Kolashange , Twinskenny,somehow etc.

its a 2 storey floors of 5 bedroom with 4 toilets but some toilets experiences low water flow especally the first floors. the inward water supply PPR pipes used for water supply into the building is 0.5 inches.

I need headsup to enable me make an informed decision
Thanks for the help

If your main supply pipe is size correctly you still have pressure except some sanitary fittings with tiny outlet. Installing pressure pump is not a problem, Did your plumber carry out pressure testing after installing those pipes. You need to confirm that before you install pressure/booster pump to avoid leakages everywhere
