MrDraey:
Good evening my ogas,

Please is this dangote's blocmaster a better choice for chocking and plastering?

Seller is recommending it as against the 3X

Both are of the same strength (42.5N) and will serve the same purpose.

Materials arriving site.

Blessedsunny2:
It depend on the plan of the building, a well-planned house should be fixed tiles first before installation of doors, if not you will been expecting rat visit

You are wrong.

rukyboy:
Isn't someone supposed to tile first before installing doors?

For doors which the leaf can be detached from the frame, the frames can be installed then tiling done before the door leaf is installed. This is mostly done for wooden doors. But for metal doors, one has to install the door fully before tiling.

We will be working on the approach risers and risers to the individual halls soon.

Good day good nairalanders.

We have successfully completed the earth filling and placement of rubbles as hardcore for this structure.
Iron fitting for beams to connect the columns together and placement BRC wire mesh ongoing.
Materials are being delivered to site for casting of the oversite concrete.

We budgeted
200bags of cement.
90 tons of granite.
80 tons of sharp sand.
14 rolls of 4mm BRC wire mesh.
85 lengths of 16mm for beams.
10mm available from the Left over purchased before.

All earth filling material was from the demolished building and some part of the excavated earth.

It has been raining since these few days.
Earth filling ongoing.
We may not be buying laterite as the rubbles and earth on site may be enough.

#Teambuilding

25 tons of granite, a trip of sand, 50 bags of cement arrived at this site today.
We are adopting a just in time approach due to the site being congested with rubbles and remnants of the demolished building. Once we start backfilling we would have enough space to store materials on site.
