1. They have their names boldly written on them, with s/n and date of production at the edges, while the China boards are mostly nameless

2. Comes in single sheet, while the China boards are mostly double packed with a paper tape to bind them. See image 1 and 2

3. You can feel the strength by lifting both

4. Site test: Cut a small piece of both(like 1ft by 1ft), dip in water for like an hour, one comes out useless, while the other remain solid, can be dried and reused.

What's my own if you choose to buy substandard plasterboards. Even with your 6k non gypsum packaged board, still not feasible at 4k/sqm for a designed/suspended POP ceiling. Whoever chooses to believe these joke figures does so at his/her own risk. Enough said

Badgers14:


Do you have pictures of your recent projects?

n3xt:


To achieve what exactly? See how plasterboard is being used? Or validate my assertions?

That’s why there’s internet for you to do your findings.
I tested the same on a personal project and found it a cheaper alternative and ever since I’ve been using it on my projects.

You can just use a small bathroom project to do cost comparison.

Nero2424:


Nigerians don't put cost into consideration, they just go with the crowd.... Western world don't worry themselves with POP, Parapet, wall edges, pillars, tiling kitchen from floor to ceiling and so many addons that makes building a house more expensive. They just make it simple and detailed and keeping the surrounding beautiful and clean.

How does the cost compare per sqm with PoP?

My ogas in the house please can anybody help me with the area of this roof plan (attached). its for a 4bedroom flat. the total area of building is 177.323m2. while the length (16651mm) and breath (10650mm) of the building from calculations i learnt here and online tallies with the area of build. adding 20% gives me a total of 212.796m2 but the carpenter that measured my roof is saying it is 280m2 please help a brother out before them use my kobo kobo money do palliative. thank u

Dominionng:


Don't sweat it sir, it's better but not cheaper. Do you think something will be better and cheaper and the entire country will be blind to it? At the moment, I'm running projects using plasterboard with grids, plasterboard without grids, POP precast and full dry construction(building without blocks). I get these materials almost every week and been doing these here almost a decade, biko don't be deceived.

Thanks man.

Though we prefer to use aluminum metal ceiling or composite ceiling tiles for our corporate clients we recommend plaster board for our cost sensitive clients. We consider safety, utility, acoustics and aesthetics.

Pictures 1&2 are plaster board ceiling from way back in 2011, picture 3 is perforated metal ceiling tiles.

While picture 4 is pop cast ceiling from a property we acquired for a client. The holes were from a little leak in the roof some installations. We are stripping off the entire ceiling and replacing it with metal tiles. The property is being renovated to a commercial property.

blackboy:
Greetings. Pls does painting of the PoP necessary after completion? What kind of paint is to be used if yes

mufutau55:
My brothers and sisters. I have been following the cost comparison between the regular POP and the Plasterboard for ceiling works.
Theory is good but practical is a different thing entirely.
Please do your due deligence and do not contract anyone until you have done your verifications. We do not need anyone coming back here with story that touches.
We have many artisan that does the regular POP here reputably but few people with plasterboard work. I personally beleive if the plasterboard ceilings is cheaper, I am sure most of us would have been using it more. Please make sure you are not following packagings. So, do your due deligence about the cost before you engage in it. Just a warning from experience.
I am not recommending between regular POP and Plasterboard ceiling neither am I recommending any artisan or contractor; just do your personal due deligence before you part with your hard earned money.
Please beware of packagings, as we call it here.
If you experiment with Plasterboard, please come back here and tell us the pros and the cons. Thanks.

gbadexy:

Yes. White emulsion paint.

diordaves:


Cornice is included in the price if your preferred design incorporates cornicing. N4000/sqm is all in all to deliver your choice design. Nothing more, nothing less. POP is cheaper by about 35%. I've done the numbers.

What's the height of your kingpost?

EgunMogaji2:


Looking good.

I wasn’t a fan of the gateman house picture in the last render but will be doing it on my next build. I can see the functionality now.

Lots of things are clearer to me after being on the ground and living here. Some of my decisions made about Nigeria while in the USA weren’t the best.

But we move, no time

michlins:
When I came here, someone told me that the people here are all the ogas and right now, I'm seeing it all. Plasterboard and pop don carry discussion for more than five pages. My joy is that I'm learning a whole lot from you people and I'm glad to be here.

Having said that, remember we beautifully secure your home at Testimony Constructions. Call on us for your iron works like doors,gates, handrails, burglaries and so on.

Good morning and have a great week ahead

Dennis3D:


Thanks sir. Well said because people tend to use cheap quotes to lure people into what they know it's not attainable in some cases. Your summary is valid.

Wyloutproperty:


Ceiling tiles be it metal or composite don't come cheap. See one of our interesting job below
