Nigerite fibre cement ceilings
Can fibre cement boards be installed so that they appear like a wall-to-wall continuous plain flat ceiling with no designs, partitions or cornices?

Yes. Just screed over the design to get a smooth finish if this is your thing. You can also screed over joints to have a continuous finish.

Ok, great...but what about its thermal and sound insulating properties? Just as good as POP?

Nigerite boards have a thickness of 3mm. If you are going to screed over, then this will add 2mm to the thickness with a total of 5mm thickness. This is about the average thickness of POP installations. So you will get about the same thermal and sound insulation as your average POP installation.

My Good People and Ogas in the House, l dey Greet una..

I am here once again, to re-introduce my Builder to you, for Patronage.

First, l want to thank those of you who gave him Jobs, when l first introduced him to this House, back in 2019.
I am also thanking him, (BASHY-BUILDS), for not disappointing those who reposed confidence in my recommendation and gave him jobs. Your good commendations of him, after he worked for you, some of which l will quote below, speaks volume.

Due to the economic challenges of our “Time and Country” (Cost of Building materials, Inflation, etc) and the fact that very Honest Workmen with Integrity, find it “challenging” in our environment, because they won’t cut-corners with Client’s Funds and some of us (Clients), may not properly appreciate Tradesmen who cant “Package Lies”!
So, he called me that he is currently out of Job Streams, ... but personally, l am not building right now.

I hate to see an intelligent, honest and trustworthy Builder or Service provider stand idle, while “Packagings” are getting the Jobs.
This is why l have taken it upon myself, to bring him to our attention here.

It is unusual for me to stick my neck out for a Seller or Builder or Service Provider but having used him for a Storey building, a Bungalow, fencing of some very large parcels of land, having seen him honestly manage Project funds transferred to him, by Clients in Diaspora whose Job he undertook and such Clients are saying he is “one out of many”, l think others should also benefit from his Services, while he also benefits from his own Handwork and Integrity.
No Service provider or Workman, should regret being a Good Person.

He is very intelligent, understands even complicated information, very quickly, he does not complain or try to dodge work, his Honesty is “not Nigerian” (forgive me for putting it that way but you all know what l mean), you can give him instructions and leave your site, he will do exactly as agreed, he is also very calm-headed and his charges are reasonable!
A few Diaspora Customers have funneled Hundreds of Millions of Naira to him, to build their Projects and they come home to a completed House, No Arguements, No ifs, No Buts.

His Name is Bashiru Adewoyin.
BASHY-BUILDS.
PHONE: 091 550 121 07
WHATSAPP: =234 91 550 121 07


He is your ordinary Builder, minus all those “packagings”, he just gets your Job done and done perfectly. That, l consider a good thing because he is authentic and gets the job done without any fuss or supervision.

I will post some of his Jobs here and put a link to his Page on Nairaland.
“Repuation is Everything”, for people like me and to recommend someone here, means that person is beyond reproach..
Your Funds, Materials and Projects are SAFEwith him, that is my Bond and Guarranty to you, if you give him a Job.
I did recommend my Painter and as of today, he has painted the House of a lot of Nairalanders

NB: I am doing this for free, out of a good heart, as a form of APPRECIATION to Bashy Builds, that we can still get this kind of Honest Builders/ Sellers/Service Prividers in Nigeria.
Please give him your building Jobs, whether Big or Small Jobs and then come back here to post a review of his personality and performance.

Thank you.

Forget these tales baba, the economy is the reason he is not working right now. In fact, the best thing you can do for him is to either find him another job or, if you can, hire him. As of right now, no one is building—I reiterate—no ongoing project of this nature. These are difficult times for all architects and civil engineers. Emilakan has wrecked the economy, but under Buhari, things were going so well that people were building everywhere. In fact, almost all of the young people in my family moved into their first homes within six months. However, because of inflation, people's main concern these days is their stomachs, and things will only get worse. Kindly instruct him to put away his shovels and headpans and find another task to do.

You’re so much on point! The era of GCs is fast fading now. More smart homeowners are working with subcontractors and tradespeople in order to cut down their Construction costs.

It makes more sense to go for experienced construction managers who charge per visits instead of hiring general contractors when working on small builds like duplexes, bungalows and other small projects.

What’s the role of a GC in fixing an Italian kitchen?

Thank you for your comments, l really appreciate them.
As it is, no matter how difficult it is, there will always be People who want to Build. Some are even starting their first Build, despite the hard times...It is God's doing.
There is a Proverb which translates as: "If we are Pounding yam in a Leaf and Cooking Stew in Skin of Groundnut, those who Stomach will be filled, will be filled"
Having said that, BASHY-BUILDS is capable and ready to do Small Small Jobs as well, Building/Bricklaying is What he knows by Training, What he does all his Life and he is not going to become a good Carpenter, all of a sudden. A Family Man does not refuse legitimate Work.
I hope others will find it fit, to give him a Trial.

Once again, l thank both of you for your inputs.

What ever kind of batteries you put is entirely up to you, you can buy rechargeable AA batteries and install in them, they take AA or AAA batteries just like your TV remote controls.

I think most smoke detectors have the 9V battery. But like you said, it could be ordinary or rechargeable ones.

Nigerite fibre cement is cheaper to install with minimal screeding of the joints to have a continuous finish.

However, if you now wish to over engineer it to have organic finish like installed POP, you might as well do POP as it would cost you more at the end of the day.

Fibre cement is for a clean, simple modern budget ceiling solution.
