Billions123:They do charge separately for plastering, window dressing and window designs ( art work) . But some people can do all of those. #780k is excessive. If the windows are not dressed yet, 5k each for dressing of the 20 windows, that is 100k. Then, the art work should be like 10k each x 20 = 200k Everything should be about 300k at most. But you will be the one to buy cement and sand. Good luck! 2 Likes |

diordaves: I'm just hearing fiber-cement board for the first time, i guess because POP is the rave of the moment in interior designing now I've "googled" about the fiber-cement board and its a very good choice of material, since its resistance to fire, heat and mold I'm currently building at the moment but i would like to know more about this fiber-cement board before i choose it as my preferred ceiling choice 1. Does it has the same wood arrangement like the POP? or it has own dimension when carrying out the woodwork 2. Does it come in different sizes and thickness? 3. Apart from Nigerite, do we have another manufacturer in Nigeria that can compete in quality and price? 4. Any idea how much this fiber-cement board cost? 5. Does it require special installations or the POP guys can still install it? 1 Like |

topsy23: I've seen lot of expensive houses with no fire alarm systems nor fire extinguishers..... That's a very great risk to take on such heavy investment sha As a marine engineer, I've seen billions of dollars assets consumed by fire because of carelessness and non-working fire fighting/alarm systems... Even in my house, i have a CO2 fire extinguisher and I've taught my wife how to use it... and I service it annually at 15k. I even have a fire blanket in my kitchen too, this was gifted to me by a foreign chef on one of the vessel I worked three years ago (This helps in fighting oil spill fires in the kitchen) My ongoing house project will have fire alarm systems in all the rooms, Gas leakage and smoke alarm detector in the kitchen (All powered by rechargeable batteries) This alarm can be tested weekly or monthly with smoke spray aerosol or improvised smoke from paper (Which is not advisable) 3 Likes |

sekzy99: Discounted price, as received from a sales person from Nigerite, in case one is buying up to 1500 pieces - altogether 6mm - N13,300 8mm - N15,850 10mm - 20,500 No 4mm available at Nigerite. Non-discounted price. 6mm - N13,700 8mm - N16,500 10mm - 21,000 These were as of last week Wednesday. Sinoma’s price is lesser than that of Nigerite.

fashrola: It’s good for wall cladding too, both internal and external. That’s what we are using on our current project. Installation is on a DIY-basis since we have all tools and consumables needed. No need of screeding again. Just look for good paint sprayer like the one we are using - Wagner HEA Airless Sprayer. You can also by Gaco/Magnum too, if you have the cash. There are China-made sprayers too on the market. |

fashrola: VanuatuWycombe: 1. Does it have the same nogging as POP? No. A 6mm fibre cement board (N13,300) will be about 1.24mm x 2.44mm in size. So the size of the board will determine your nogging. So you have to decide from the beginning what ceiling solution that you want when roofing. The carpenter that will do your roofing wood work SHOULD also do your nogging. You will save a lot by so doing than having the carpenter to only do your roofing wood work. When you now want to do ceiling, you will spend extra more doing the nogging first. 2. Fibre cement come in different sizes. 3. Apart from Nigerite, there are other fibre cement boards imported into Nigeria. There is also Eminite as well. 4. Price? I'm currently not on ground in Nigeria, so I don't know the current price but see above [quote author=VanuatuWycombe post=129798458] From @VanuatuWycombe post, a 6mm board should be about 1.24mm x 2.44mm in size. This is about 3m2 (3 square meter). If the price is N13,300, this translate to about N4, 400 per square meter. Mind you, POP installation cost about N8,000 per square meter ALL INCLUSIVE. This tells you that with hard bargain and proper planning, you can deliver fibre cement ceiling for about half the cost (or just above) of POP and far, far better than PVC or Polystyrene. 5. Does it require special installation? Everything in Nigeria is a rocket science requirement but to be honest, your carpenter can do this. Just screw the board to your nogging. It is called ceiling boarding. Joint the gaps (if this is your thing) and paint. Shikena! So instead of PVC or Polystyrene, one can do POP in the living room and then fibre cement in the rooms. This works. Or spend a bit more use fibre cement to do the design you want in the living room and the clean straightforward design in the rooms. UPDATE SInoma Price: 6mm 1220 x 2440mm. That is 3 square meter for N10,500. This translates to N3,500 per square meter. POP is about N8000 per square meter ALL INCLUSIVE. Fibre cement is half the price of POP. Say no to PVC or Polystyrene. 2 Likes |

Do the joints (or edges) need to be secured using wooden batons like the old asbestos ceiling we know? Could you please share a pic of your installation? VanuatuWycombe: |

Benin City was a wonderful experience. The people, the vibes are just welcoming. Keke man will take you around and will ensure you get the right bus for your movement. He will even assist you in negotiating price with drivers. About the food, they just keep it coming with the way it's great value for money. Try and travel around this country and you will meet great and amazing people. Those toxicity you read on political section is miniscule compared to the awesomeness of the Nigeria people 7 Likes

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by VanuatuWycombe: 8:39pm On May 05 |
Beframia: No. Not like batons used in asbestos The joints are secured, using fiberglass adhesive tape and putty (for grouting) after nailing or screwing the boards to the wood. I may not be able to share any of our works, for now, here. I am sorry. Try and watch free videos on this, and more, on YouTube. It’s super simple to do, with correct tools and consumables. 1 Like 1 Share |

diordaves: Installation accessories & installation cost should also be added to the price of the board. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by fashrola(m): 9:46pm On May 05 |
VanuatuWycombe: That's cool... I prefer using it as a ceiling, not really a fan of those POP designs ... I just love a simple classic bare ceiling 1 Like |

topsy23: Yeah Heat detector..... not smoke alarms in Kitchen cos it can be easily triggered by cooking fumes or steam........ |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by fashrola(m): 10:06pm On May 05 |
diordaves: thank you so much........ So that means before woodwork, I have to determine the size i will use before the nogging right? Do Nigerite have any distributor or installer in Akwa Ibom? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by diordaves(m): 10:09pm On May 05 |
Beframia: No. The joints are not secured by wooden batons. However, you can if that style is your thing. STEP ONE Screw your fibre board to the noggins. STEP TWO Joint the boarding with jointing tape (see attached photos) STEP THREE Apply primer to the joints (see photos) STEP FOUR Sand paper joints for a smooth surface. Clean off dust and paint with choice of colour. Rocket scientist not needed. 1 Like

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by diordaves(m): 10:39pm On May 05 |
fashrola: The fibre board are of standard size. To save cost, decide what you want from the beginning - POP or Fibre board. When you are doing your roof wood work, tell the carpenter to nog for POP or Fibre. There must be in Awkward Ibom. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by topsy23: 10:43pm On May 05 |

diordaves: Wont agree to the last paragraph , cement board more expensive . Been using both for all my projects for years . Installation is basically the same for both , Pop boards comes in 1.2m x 3 m , cement boards come in 1.2 x 2.4 meter yet more expensive , likely 30 to 50 % more , don’t do wood , use hanger ,profiles , angles , screws , etc Use cement boards for wall partitioning since they are stronger and sturdier while pop boards for ceiling .pix from an ongoing project
