Flaghouse1: Thank you Sir, we’re all in this together. The credit goes to the pros like Skimanski and others that have shown what’s possible. This gives people like me the confidence to dare to think about other things. Even though I had already bought my plan which had a courtyard, I still had doubts that I could build it in Nigeria. Then I saw something similar that he built in Lagos and the die was cast. If you have time please watch this Thailand house build, at least the beginning. I think it’s the way forward in Nigeria. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5EslFkHz0o It perfectly lends itself to staged building. 1) Groundwork - grading the land 2) Foundation - 6” cement blocks, filled and columns 3) Roofing 4) German floor 5) Partition walls 6) Windows / Doors 7) Electrical / plumbing ![]() 1 Like |

PrinceLat:You paying 2,200/tons you do road expense on your own. |

Chekitaut: Thanks for your response, by road expense I presume you mean paying the truck man to and fro, if that's the case, one more thing, where do we come to, to load (location in Lagos) ❓ and let's seal the deal. |

Good evening house, please I am trying to find out if it makes any economic and aesthetic sense to choose PVC (amoula to be precise) over POP considering the prices are almost the same. Regards |

jadell: Go with POP. It’s rumored to be fire resistant at least and looks better. Good luck on your project. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by mufutau55(m): 8:26pm On Feb 12, 2018 |
jadell: NO. Go for the POP. PVC is not to be compared to POP. I used Amoula in my BQ when POP cost was higher/gold... but my Main building now is POP. Many advantages, especially when it comes to fire. Hajji M. 2 Likes 1 Share |

KolaShangOne:There is virtually no place on earth you can get water (my opinion) what varies is depth, some depth are very deep and invariably hardly could individual afford such a borehole. I stand to be corrected |

Please house, can I build a 2 flats of two bedroom on a half plot of land? |

GoodFaith:actually I don't need him. I handle my tenant the best way I can. I don't even argue over rent. Indeed it does involves crazy things which I don't want to be part of. The one I bought in DT I see 9MM penetrated through the window ![]() |

jadell: Please go for POP. It's safer, more durable and look good aesthetically. I considered using Innoson for part of my project, but when I got a quote from them and compared it with the cost of doing POP, I had to beat a retreat. If you don't have all the fund at once, you can realise the project in bits. I have completed now almost 300 square meters 1 Like |

Open question for the experts in the house. Have anybody used or bought sanitary wares from Choice sanitary? https://choicesanitary.com.ng/ |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 3:33am On Feb 13, 2018 |
nwaorlu: My MAC was scared of that URL but I used this http://choicesanitary.com.ng Are they made in Nigeria? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by nwaorlu: 4:31am On Feb 13, 2018 |
EgunMogaji: I have seen their products but it looks like they are selling directly to customers with price listed. Before I purchase, I wanted to know of the quality of their product. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by nwaorlu: 4:32am On Feb 13, 2018 |
I don't know if it is made in Nigeria but it says Choice England |

D1O: I have seen builders (including Skimanski) in his renovations create doors where there were no previous lintels. Though it demains expertise it's very much possible if needed in future. But the question is who changes doors in his personal building except during a massive renovation? |
