ibietela2:good questions. Doing pop before plastering is the best, because it will enable the plasterer to gauge and smooth all the edges of the pop design. Plumbing work is done before plastering because all the walls the plumber will break before laying the pipes must be cover with bricks and mortar by the plasterers. Same applies to electrical pipping, it must be done before plastering. Frames for doors must be available on site before plastering because if you don't provide it for the plasterers when they are plastering coming back for them to install the frame after plastering will cost you, time, energy and money. Windows must be on site install, before plastering it save you money and it is the best ethic to get wonderful finishing. After plastering is fixing of plumbing and electrical materials for the project. Next to painting. But before all this can be done you must cover the buidling. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

BrabusNG: The only solar I have are exterior lights. I’m waiting to build my forever house before doing solar. The voltage I have is 80 to 110 volts so I run gen more than I should. To weld, pump water gen has to come on. When I build my duplex I won’t even connect to PHCN. 1 Like |

ibietela2: For the record. 1) this is still rather unusual in the USA, Wood is used 90% of the time. Steel is more for partitioning spaces in a refurb. 2) dominion showed a whole estate in Nigeria that was built with steel studs. |

EgunMogaji2: Tbh, PHCN is cheap if the billing is right. Kiekie1’s servo stabilizer is something you’d really enjoy in this country. It regulates both the current and voltage perfectly well. Even my inverter is happier. I’m looking at getting a 10 - 20kva for my house soon. 1 Like |

hslbroker2: Thanks for the insight. I'm quite late to this forum. I guess it's never too late. My house project is being handled by me. I'm just wondering which should come first between tiles and installation of toilets, showers, sinks and taps? I'm yet to sink the bore hole, though I'm being advised by folks to sink the bore hole and finish up the plumbing installations before tilling. My plumber on the other hand, thinks tiling before sinking bore hole and installation of toilets and the rest of them will not be a problem since the pipes have been well layed. I'm a little bit confused on this one since the Tiler is expected to begin work by Tuesday. Any advise on this will be appreciated please. |

They charge per cubic m and other things like project scope/location/height etc determines the cost.

rotecch77: I won’t be quick to dispel his ideas though. There might be a new way to do things. I know I’ve seen a building that was not plastered the traditional way we do stuffs. They just did the ceiling and the walls were screeded with a special mortar mix. I’ll share video once I can get it. The solution was shared in one of our Affordable Housing conference. |

BrabusNG: I think changing our addiction to concrete will allow us to build more environmentally sustainable homes. I have some Timber decked home designs that I'm currently working on. Something like a composite of concrete beams, timber joists, and decking wood. The problem we currently have with the use of timber as a structural material is strength classification. 4 Likes |
