FEGEITOK: A lots of installer usually cut corners . If pop is well done there is nothing to fear.. there are lot of adultrated cement out there .. the cheap one, you won't get a good result with those.. my current project in ado I had to import abs cement from Lagos! Pop can absorbed a little bit of water and within time will dry off

toyeoye:When you build without the requisite drawings, your workmen will have no choice but to do guesswork. So the plumber may not be blamed entirely. 2 Likes |

InvertedHammer: To me it will contain it perfectly ok, let’s assumed -2 plot for the main hotel building -1/2 plot for the service building area and the rest ( generator house, water treatment plant house, external store etc, -1/2 plot for green area and swimming pole - 1 plot for car park ————— In other news watch out for the thread of this our ongoing renovation work (alteration of 5bdr duplex ) 2 Likes

toyeoye: In the unlikely event of fire or electrical spark, polystyrene is a by product of crude oil (petrol) that will exacerbate the situation. This should be enough reason to doubt adopting polystyrene as a ceiling solution. Polystyrene is a choice albeit not a wise choice. 3 Likes |

I believe the bathroom layout would have been sorted in the design phase. The shape of the bathroom will play a role in position of bathroom elements So if you are saying the plumber worked without supervision, did he freestyle the job or follow the design. In either case if you plan on living in the house, make sure you design to your taste. toyeoye: |

diordaves: There are too many people building with ICF today ..on YouTube too many hits. my friend is creating some acoustics roof insulation for company that solely builds icf blocks. are you saying that polystyrene isn't fire rated enough yet approved for housing ? |

dongc: You remember the London apartment building fire? The polyethylene inside the ACM panels was cited as the “primary cause” of the spread of fire up the cladding. All these synthetic materials from crude oil are flammable. It is believed that polystyrene can quickly spread fire and is not suitable for aluminum composite cladding. 3 Likes |

sonnie10: I understand....polystyrene isn't made from crude oil...now they are making fire retardants models..(doesn't mean it wont burn or drip)...again it all depends in what you plan to achieve..they are not necessarily cheaper if you are looking to save cost... |

Bankyshinani: 30m by 40m or 30ft by 40ft. Firstly,do the roof wood work and call the roofer(Imran money121) and others to come for the measurement, by this you will know exact square meter of aluminum you needed., But if it's slate your carpenter will tell you the quantity you needed. Let me allow Oga's at the Top to respond. 1 Like |

dongc: Polystyrene is formed when styrene meets with pentane. So what is Styrene and what is Pentane? See the attached. A house built with ICF will struggle to find insurance in the UK today after the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017. So many apartments in the UK cladded with polystyrene are practically worthless now. The flammable claddings were previously approved by the local authorities. No. Polystyrene in homes in whatever form is not a wise decision. 3 Likes
