Good morning everyone.

I need your opinion please. I am building a five bedroom bungalow. I just finished the conduit piping. My cousin who is an architect says I should go ahead and plaster the building before putting windows and doors.

I was thinking it's better to put burglary proof for the windows before plastering.

Please your advice will be needed?

Finally whats the estimate of the bags of cement I need to budget for the pastering of the house?

Your estimates will give an idea it it's a project I need to go ahead with it or pause so I can save more

I am a salary earner
You can do your plastering before burglary. Nothing wrong with that.

Sharp Sand= 36,000 x 3 trips= 108,000

Gum Sand= 35,000 x 1= 35,000

Cement= 3900 x 100 bags = 390,000
Transport and job= 20,000

Water supply= 30,000

Workmanship for Plastering is 400,000
( Dressing of doors and windows is not included)

Total amount is 983,000


This is the quotation I fit for the plastering of a five bedroom bungalow in the south east

What do you think guys?

60 x 60 tiles is 0.36sqm

80/0.36 = 222.22pcs

If I add 10% to cover for breakages/damages/unforseen calculation/skirting that is 22.2 PCs

TOTAL: 244.5 PCs

244.5/number of PCs in a carton = number of cartons needed

I hope this help.

Hello Engineers in the house and DIY advocates too.
Please I'm looking for grand ideas for the exterior of my humble abode to change it from it's current dry look.
The use of exterior wall tiles and those corner wall designs came to mind (like the one in the picture).
Please is it a yay or nay?
How can I go about it?
Who has sample pictures to show these ideas so we can learn.

Good day people! Please is it advisable to use 2 by 4 hardwood in place of 2 by 6 for kingposts and rafters? Can 2 by 4 also replace 3 by 4 for struts? And what about 2 by 2 for purlins instead of 2 by 3? Will the integrity of the roof be significantly weakened by doing this? Thanks in advance.

Addendum: Intended roof is pitched with 5m high kingposts and covered with stone coated sheets.

Its better you go with 2x6 and 3x4 beams instead of 2x4 because of weight.

Also reduce your tie beam spacing to 900mm or 1000m instead of 1200mm.

HDF doors don’t come cheap oh! American panel doors re cheaper. �




Its not just about price.

American panel doors will not last more than 3-5 years.

Remember, Quality remains long after price has been forgotten.

Your camera is not doing justice to your work.

A UK-used Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus costs less than 120,000 but will greatly enhance the quality of your pictures.

If you are an Apple fanboy then getting an equivalent iPhone costs between 70,000 and 150,000.

It will make a world of difference.

The phones maybe dated but the picture quality is not.
