The essence of the picture updates is to ensure everyone (client, supervisors and contractor) is on the same page.

folmus: Yes I know. Even though I don’t use the steel door that much, I know a double-sided design. That one he posted is a single-sided door. Just knock the door and hear the hollow sound. |

folmus: That’s just me. I won’t want to assume you know the difference or force my ideas/designs on you. I’ll try to make you understand the difference and what you’re getting before anyone of us make commitments. _________ Pics - this is a single-sided door. Looking great. If I don’t show you a padded double-sided door, you’d think this is it. 2 Likes

Good morning to our able and wonderful building experts in the house, I am currently building a 1-storey building. Comprising one unit of 2bedroom flat and one unit of self contain on the ground floor while the top floor is one unit 3 bedroom flat. The ground floor is at the leveling stage and the next stage for me now is decking. I have asked my Engineer to give me an idea of the number of iron rods needed for the decking and staircase, he gave me the following quotation; 1) Y16: 60 lenghts 2) Y12: 350 lenghts 3) Y8: 120 lenghts He said the above rods will also be used for the lintel. I have asked him to give me just for the decking and he is saying it is not possible. Esteemed building experts, kindly give me an idea of the number of rods i will need for the decking and staircase of this building. Attached below is my first floor building plan. Total area of building is 141 SQM 1 Share

EgunMogaji2: I don’t have much of the backside pics now but there’s really not much difference between the front and the backside. The difference is just the design in the lower part. We ensure the back plate is well laid and welded to hide the imperfections along the seam lines.

EgunMogaji2: I had to work with the guy to ensure he give me the type of backside I’d like to see on that gate. Otherwise, he’d have given me a back like the one in the pic below. So I understand why you’re asking me to show you the backside sir. 1 Like

2roll: As you dey give your thanks, just know say decking different from decking which can lead to the number and types of rods needed. Decking is not all about size. Two decking can be of the same size but with huge difference in cost outcome due to design and best practice applications. Note this before you take on your builder. 6 Likes |

n3xt: What do we really say is the problem of flat concrete roofs? This is my 10 year old flat concrete roof. No issues. Forget those black spots. I can get the slab cleaned in 30 minutes. ________ The slab was screeded and there’s no sign of water issues. ________ I decided to clean off the black spots and crest nairaland logo on my dirty untreated flat concrete roof but rain won’t let me complete the cleaning. I test everything and hold on to that which is true. Roofs don’t leak because it is flat. It leaks because it is badly installed. 1 Like

n3xt: All well and good but a little anecdote to share. In the UK, you currently need to consult a specialist insurer to purchase building insurance if the percentage of flat roof to total surface area in your roofing scheme is greater than 30%. They even use Google Maps satellite view to calculate the thing so one cannot even lie in peace again, lol. I'm having to deploy pythagoras theorem and advanced geometry in a current dispute with one insurance company regarding a family member's insurance claim. 2 Likes |
