gbadexy: What I can infer from this is that it's better to have the two of them on site at the same time. I'd have preferred to have the cleaning done after painting, but I'm just worried about the cleaners messing up the painting during cleaning. |

n3xt: Very good, rightly said. It’s really simple but most people don’t know. This is it in more elaborate understanding way If happened that you are the contractor that handled the whole building project you will not have much RUBBISH dirty In your site, Why bcs when each workers, Tiler, plumber,electrician etc finished up there job on daily bases they will clean up the site. with this system you will have lesser dirty environment at your site. So when it’s time to paint the building. 1, painter will do 1st paint coat, while doing that the cleaner will be called to start general cleaning of the tiles, window, doors etc. 2 immediately that was done then painter will have free and good environment to do the stress free 2nd coat which is the final. Finally any little drop of paint on tiles/ floors can be easily clean by the painter. Soo simple But your painter must be a good painter not bricklayer turned to painter. This system will save you cost of materials and stress as a contractor or home owner. 7 Likes |

sinorte:Yes sir. They can start cleaning when the painters start external painting and the painters can go back inside to retouch after they leave. There would still be little left overs of the colors around to do that. By the way, I still produce and supply quality and affordable paints. 2 Likes |

gbadexy: Yes more like it. But instead of just touching some parts, I ask him to apply one last coat on select areas. I hate having different shades on the wall. |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by n3xt(m): 9:30am On Jul 24, 2021 |
sinorte: And how much more are we talking about? Very negligible sum if the quality of paint is right. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by rotecch77(m): 9:32am On Jul 24, 2021 |
twinskenny: It will be a little drop of paint Reason why you need to engage good painter as I mentioned in my quote up there. That system is just the best approach but ONLY to who knows how to arrange for such 1 Like |

twinskenny: Na! We are talking professional touch here. I mean those who will avoid completely drips and accidental spills during painting. That’s why we paint twice. The final coat is just touching. The same applies to electrical fittings installation. I always do mine after paint work.

n3xt:It's not noticeable if it's from the same batch they used in painting the place but having them apply second coat after cleaning is also a very good idea. My painters request it during electrical fittings. 1 Like |

rotecch77: You can even avoid drips/spills messing up your floor during final touches. Some use old newspaper and other materials to cover their floor. |

DancingSkeleton: 233 x 6,000 = N1,398,000 Covers for your precast ceiling with screeding of the CEILING. IF you are worried of the quality of the job, a trusted member can volunteer as an escrow, and funds will only be released when is completed and verified. Your precast POP ceiling comes out BETTER when screeding is applied on the ceiling, but the above quote doesn't have screeding materials included. |

sinorte: For me I clean my site routinely between each trade, for example I’m preparing to clean after plastering but before POP. You certainly want a deep cleaning before painting. Good luck on your build. 1 Like |

Dominionng:Can you explain what you’re referring to as screeding in precast POP. If am not mistaking you’re referring to sheetrock as we call it abi. If it is what do you screed on it, the joint of everything you do I believe ishould be part of your job to bring the finishing out to apply paint when finished. Can you post some of your job samples to understand what you mean by screeding on sheetrock. I’m thinking of it myself because of a lot of advantages it’s as, my concern is just the extra woods that may require in above average project. |

sinorte: He he he! My Oga @secgymoor is not here. He’d be able to relate better. We were both in an environment where hundreds of office fit-out constructions do happen annually. Fit-out construction is all about making commercial spaces (office, retail, apartment etc) suitable for occupation. Fit-out is different from renovation and fit-out contractors are better finishers than contractors in the traditional build industry because of the complexity of their projects.. 1 Like |

n3xt: I think I like this approach well cause a contractor that I awarded a job to and has been mobilized since June 17th. Out of 1.4m you've received 1.150 and you've not completed half of the job, you're using just only one laborer and you want to collect the remaining balance without even finishing the work.
