Thank you for your contribution. There is a reason I specify the thickness of bedding to be 25mm in my previous post. Of course, I know that it could be more than that in some other circumstances. Mostly in my standard Bill of Quantities, I do 42mm. I've seen lots of tilers do far less than that, and even doing just 25mm, hence my definite description. In my previous post, I only make cognizance of floor tiles and didn't factor in wall tiles for a reason. rotecch77: |

rotecch77:OK Security prevention and protection is all about individuals, What is the cost you willing to pay to achieve that objective Every security protection and prevention can be compromise Having protection and prevention in place is to make you work for it discourage you to look for easy target From logical to physical security the goal and objective is to discourage intrudes by having preventive difficulties' in place 1 Like |

QSFemi: Ok I get you right now, don’t mind those tilers that used to do 25mm, it’s too light , there will be a crack on it within shortest period of time. Unless if the floor required such thickness( may be the door level issue arises) if such happens then their is a special GUM to use for such area or a special mixed cement ratio in such situation. Lastly the total sqm of standard 3 bedrooms tiles both walls and floors is btw 300-500meters 1 Like |

GoodFaith: You are very correct sir. Actually the client didn’t budget for such at the time we build the building. May be bcs the level of crime in the area is low bcs I can see that 70pec of the building in the town doesn’t have burglar bars. |

rotecch77: Did you say three bedroom total floor "btw 300-500meters " What will be the total floor of two flats? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by rotecch77(m): 2:48pm On Oct 22, 2020 |
GoodFaith: Both wall and floor, I stated it there. More so for 2 flats of 3bdrms prepare bye 600-100sqm Generally all depends on the size of your building and the area to be tiled. 1 Like |

Hello All, Hope we are all safe! Pls, do I need to do parapet dressing before roofing the house? My bricklayer just brought this to my notice after wood work of the roofing is done. |

Hello house. Pls I have a little challenge, the engineer did something like a step here, We will have to climb up and down from the dining to the kitchen and from the dining to the rooms lobby. I told him to make everything flat after I discovered I won't like that idea. We are already done with the dpc. Pls what is the cost effective way to do the filling to make all levels flat, thanks

xzibukz: Here we go again with client - Contractor miscommunication.. This issue have been litigated here several times, I could bet we have encountered similar issues with people we know outside of nairaland. Please I beg everyone, client please do your research, ask questions and tell your Contractors exactly what you want. Contractors please listen to your client, make suggestions if you may but at the end of the day, oga na master!! This is the clients project not yours. As for the cost effective way to remedy this? O boy, I would think the cost effective way will be to leave it alone as it is now and maybe invest in some lighting around the "step" to lighting the place up at night to prevent an accident. I dislike this myself, in my first build engineer did the same thing. I was like, hian.., wetin dey occur? are you ... are you normal?? Thats was not the plan... after the brawl I let it be simply because it was a commercial house and although I dislike it, some people might like it.. someone have been living in that unit for years now and no complaints.. so at the end, the situation did sort itself out.. 3 Likes 1 Share |

xzibukz: From my observation, I can see that your engr did good work here (am talking about the neatness and standard of work done) The over site concrete is perfect. Dpm was introduced. Plumbing work is intact And many more. My Verdict Your engr knows his work, he followed what your architect produced which I believed it’s ok by you at 1st when it's was delivered to you for final approval by your architect before your engr started ed the construction. Solution to the problem Leveled up the block height and recast the top level to be at par with the existing room oversite concrete( German floor). My little observation and advise Not bible. 3 Likes |

Badgers14:Unfortunately, Nigeria houses will have to do with burglary proof for the next 30 years or more, The security situation is too precarious to take the risk without one. Until Nigeria embrace community policing, restructured and equipped police service, prosperous economic climate, massive personal and public job creation, good educational system, better public utilities and most importantly mentality therapy etc, the security situation will never change. The quality of glasses we have in Nigeria are also poor, in the pictures most of the glasses are treated and don't charter with one bang, the street, public transport, private compound are littered with security cameras that makes it easy to trace and identify suspect of burglar incident, fire and theft insurance is also security that ensure victims are compensated for their damages or property lost. Yes, it's liberating and gives sense of freedom to live in a house without burglary, no dark curtain to shield indoor. Sometimes we install burglary proof in soft target in the house, especially backdoors or hidden entrances. 2 Likes |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by rotecch77(m): 8:49am On Oct 23, 2020 |
xzibukz: The height and am seen here is much for tiling level method you mentioned. Block height ————225mm Dpc height —————100mm Propose tiling height -75mm Total height————-400mm How are you going to be sure that the tiler can filled up the calculated height with proper mixed ratio to avoid caving of the floor in the nearest future ?

Omonjoe:Sir, it is very possible to plaster the parapet after roofing but the little challenge they may have is the finishing of the topmost edges of the parapet because the tip of the roof will be sitting on the parapet making it difficult to do a proper finishing at that end. Though the cost seems a little high but in honest truth if you really want to love your Parapet it doesn't come cheap. That is why I tell people precast is way way cheaper. If the parapet is not well plaster and all the grooves and angles are not well treated you will regret ever doing it. 2 Likes |
