We take whole building construction work not only plastering.

In my own opinion, long span is the best for a flat roof design.

PrimeQuay:


I will love to hear the opinions of the house on this.

My opinion on the roof design or style should complement the house design. Meaning a modern contemporary house might have a flat roof

bobkezel:

I think I will try to get the prices of the materials from the market and then compare. If the difference isn't much then I'll do all inclusive...

BlushPink:
Greetings to every contributor and engineers here. #Silent follower
Please what's the current price of the following in/to Ikorodu:
Sharp sand
Granite
Block 6 & 9
Cement.

Thanks.

KolaShangOne:


1. Flat roofs should be done at an angle that will guarantee good run-off.

2. Try to avoid gutters in flat roofs. It's better if your eaves extend outward.

3. Use longspan. Thick guage.

4. Request for normal corrugation instead of metral.

5. Find good installer. That's all.

We take whole building construction work not only plastering.
But any one that comes our way either plastering, carcass, whole finishings we will be glad to take such

hslbroker2:
you are right

I will chat you up on the Plastering job to see if we can work together.

The Simplest Way To Calculate The Numbers Of Blocks U Need For Your Fence


The simplest way to calculate the numbers of blocks you need for your fence project, assuming you are fencing a land measuring 120 feet by 60 ft, a standard plot

This calculation is based on 9 inches block fence .
The measurement we are using is 120 ft (length) and since we have two lengths that is multiply by 2 which is 240 ft. (120 x 2) = 240

The breadth is 60 ft and also since we have 2 breadths that equal 120 ft (60 x 2) = 120
Then (240 + 120) that is 360 feet perimeter line fencing.

The calculation

(we are to convert this 360 feet to inches ) since a foot is 12 inches , now let us multiply 12 inches by 360 ft which is 4320 inches.

Now to get the line numbers of blocks that will go around the fence perimeters of 4320 inches or 360 feet, we would need to divide 4320 by 18 inches, since the length of any block be it 6 inches or 9 inches is 18inches.

Now 4320 inches divide by 18 inches is approximately 240 line of blocks , then we must multiply that by the numbers of coaches of blocks you want for your height, assuming 7 ft which is 9 coaches that means 240 multiply by 9 which is 2160 blocks and that is all you need anything aside from this is fake and fraud, this calculation is derive by me professionally and i have been using it without any mistake, but always remember to add 10 % of blocks to it because of broken blocks, and for this work, you only need 30 bags of cements, one bag of cement to 70 blocks, is standard.

for your pillars between the fence, let assume 6 blocks far from the next pillar, that means 6 divide by 240 which is 40 pillars, 1 bag of cement to 2 pillars standard, that is 17 bags plus 40 bags that is 47 bags is need by me to do this fence, if i'm in position and you should also to add 15 bags for floor blinding of the fence making 62 bags of cement.

Then, we need to minus the gate and the pillars that are also taking space in the fence.

The gate is 12 ft, let us assume the gate columns or pillars is 14 inches each, we have 2 pillars holding the gate, that is 28 inches or 2. 4 feet plus 12 feet that is 14.4 feet or approximately 15 feet.

Remember we already calculate the pillars that 40 pillars is need for the measurement.

Each pillar or column for 9 inches concrete is 9 inches square, 9 x 40 = 360 inches that is (30 feet + 15 feet = 45 feet ) / 18 inches = 30 blocks multiply by the number of coaches, 30 x 9 = 270 block minus 2160 blocks = 1890 blocks in total.

40 lengths of 12mm iron rod, since one pillar is equivalent to 1 length.

3 lengths of 16mm iron rod for the 2 big pillars holding the gate.

90 planks of soft wood for the framing.

30 tons of granite (granite would be use for the fence floor blinding and columns)

5 trucks of sharp sand

Sorry have been busy, but it's cool... Incase of next time uhn.

somehow:
Please house, I intend using doing something like this on parts of the front building

Though it's mostly done on fences but I kinda like the way some of them look

Is it worth it?

I was to use tiles for the orange, paint for the blue and green in the initial design.

dongc:


I agree ...your plastering works are top notch �.....

bobkezel:
Good morning house..
I was charged 5000 naira per sqm for pop installation (materials and workmanship), and 1600 for workmanship if I'm buying materials myself...
Pls house which of the above options is better?

Jeff68:


I like it, I might do the same.

KolaShangOne:


They might waste your materials sha...

Good morning my people , this snake issue is geten out of hands another man post the same issue again, what is solution to stop snake entering inside water system or toilet seat , operation war against snake

Hmm this one is big ooooooo

michlins:
it can be salvaged. You have to replace the pipes at the bottom part with slopping pan. That way it doesn't retain water at all. If you're doing a gate in and around Lagos, kindly ensure that you don't use pipes at the bottom. Where if it's important to use pipes, cover it with angle iron of at least 4mm thick. That way, the effects of rusting will be delayed as much as possible.


See what I did here, instead of welding directly on the pipe, I got another stronger material to take the heat

PrimeQuay:


@michlins thank for your input. I believe the cause for this level of rust just after 2 years of installation is the salt in the air in that area. In fact I observed other using an iron frame and wood to construct their gate in that area.

Can nothing be done to prevent rust?

Do you have any experience using anti rust paint/spray on your gate fabs?

I also noticed these hand railings didn’t rust. Pics:
