Hello guys, I have some needs at finishing stages and hope to get leads from anyone here. 1. PVC Skirting boards for tiling. Pls where can I source from locally. Sales only or sales and install, either works. 2. Artificial grass for outdoor space similar to picture below. Supply & install. Thanks

sonnie10:Ok, the cost of materials needed and workmanship could make it cost that much. There's an idea we use over here these days, we only cover two sides at a time, when that's completed, we move the materials to the other side's just to save capital. Have you explored the idea of renting iron scaffold? Maybe it can be less expensive. |

Lunarrz: Hidden beam on floor slabs are just imaginary strength enhancement concept. The use of hidden beam are not beneficial to the behavior of slab. The principle that deflection of solid slab obeys still remains constant. ( Depth) The longer the slab span, the deeper the slab should be, some persons have wrongly adopted the 150mm (6’’ ) thickness. Well it’s not a one fix all thing. It is also worthy of note that slabs are majorly designed for deflection rather than strength, and as such there’s a permissible value for it. His engineer should investigate that and advise him further. To the OP Cracking your slab and recasting will create a line of weakness in the crack zone, so therefore you need to be careful. Possible solution Your Engr might want to consider composite steel beam and then conceal with some creative Pop finishes 4 Likes 1 Share |

Charisdesigns: Smart solution. Use beams with sufficient profile (depth) to provide adequate sectional modulus to resist the slab deflection. Connection of beam to slab can be via bolting (using concrete drilling machine to drill through) at specific intervals (depending on slab length and as per analysis) and passed through top and bottom beam flanges or using plates washers Beams should have adequate connections to the ground (via either existing adjacent beams that have closeby columns or even making them have their own columns, cast or steel) Beam numbers and spacing should also be sufficient. 2 Likes |

You should be able to step up into your apartment incase of run-off or heavy down pour. So the surrounding level should be lower than that of the building. Hatesin: |

Scaffolding is expensive. Either you're hiring steel scaffolding or buying bamboos; both are expensive depending on the area and height of your building. sonnie10: |

QSFemi:personally I think buying bamboo is cheaper on the long run. He will still need it for painting after plastering. Hire now and then hire later for painting will overshoot the cost of the job. At the end, you will still have your bamboo to sell or use it domestically as energy source 2 Likes |

If you're doing up to 5 or more stories project, bamboos become inapplicable. So, it can depend on the type of build. On a normal everyday one or two storeyed projects, bamboos will make a cost effective and efficient choice. michlins: |

Bamboo will make a better choice. Cost of one bamboo in Lagos (Ajah) is an average of #600 per one with an average length of 6metres. michlins: |
