sekzy99: I don't think you'll use that much sharp sand BUT... let's not assume, If you haven't done it yet, send the floor plan and at least a picture of the place you want to slab. Goodluck |

ajabani4allah: No1 can calculate how much material you need for your project without having an idea of it's size. You'll need to send the plan and roof plan to get the quantities. On the ring soak away.... How big is your land? - this is because if its a small land, your water source (Borehole) might be polluted. Goodluck |

twinskenny:Hello Sir, How possible is it to depend solely on solar for domestic cooking instead of gas. I know it has to be with electronic stove. Like how many kw? And can a fully charged system cook a big pot of beans from start to finish? |

topsy23: I have engineers around me nd I always listen nd consult them before embarking on anything. How could you say am giving him wrong advice. On my own project, I used 25mm recline from pole, 16mm for load from the cutout to distribution board, then 2.5 nd 1.5 for load sharing to sockets nd switches. Bear in mind no body is an Highland of knowledge. If u r talking of cables high prices these days it's understandable, especially Coleman and Nigerchin but never u say am giving him wrong advice. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by topsy23: 8:48pm On May 11 |
Akerewe: Boss... I studied Electrical and Electronic Engineering and i have been practicing for more than 10yeas now. I design, and also install. I have never design using above 4mmsq cable for split unit. 4mm cable is enough 1hp, 1.5hp, 2hp and 2.5hp and 3hp AC. The only way you can consider 6mm cable is when you are installing 5HP 3-phase AC. What size of cable did you use for your water heater and AC? 3 Likes |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Akerewe(m): 9:13pm On May 11 |
topsy23: Like I said earlier, I am not an engineer, so I agree with you in totality. I used 6mm for water heater and ac. The highest gauge of cables quoted by my electrician is 6mm but like I said I listen to engineers around me nd follow their advice. |

otedola1: I will not advice you to go to open market to source for the cables because there area alot of fake cables in the market now. These guys are taking advantage of the present economy situation to sell the fake products. You can visit my legit distributor.. You can as well contact me... |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Chidimercy: 7:40am On May 12 |
Please house, is it okay to used washed gravel to do my fence cap and what is the best mixture for it. Chippings are now very scarce and expensive and I am afraid since rain would be constantly falling on fence cap if its going to affect the durability. I need professional suggestion. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by topsy23: 7:47am On May 12 |
Akerewe: Now I understand you, if your engineer is a civil engineer he might not know the size of cables.. I can bet it with you that the cable bought for your water heater and AC is 4mm.. They collected money for 6mm and buy 4mm cable. I have seen some electrician recommending 50mm armoured cable for a 2- bedroom bungalow, FOR WHAT??.. Make sure you get expert advice to avoid paying excess money. The recent I got from one of the member here was so crazy.... See below quantity 1.5mm Red 8 Black 8 2.5mm Red 5 Black 5 10mm Red 2 Black 2 Above list are for single 2bedroom flat as quoted by electrician and civil engineer... So if the man did not contacted me he would have bought all the cables and the left over be taken away. Before you select your supply cables, there is calculation to be done for the total load in the building.. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Akerewe(m): 8:34am On May 12 |
topsy23: U r absolutely right, that's their doings. That's y I advice the guy not to follow their quote and he should personally check everything physically if possible he should involve third party engineer to ascertain the quantity. But in my own case I bought my cables direct from a major distributor myself because Coleman cables prices is not a child's play. Can you believe me that my electrician quote excess pipping fittings and after day one work on site he went home with keys as against our agreement that he should drop the key for my inspection. I called him to know y he went away with the keys, he said he forgot to drop it and since he's resuming very early the next day I shouldn't bother. I took spare keys nd was wow at the quantity of materials left bectthe job is already at 75%. So I decided to do video coverage of all the job he has done nd the left over materials nd gave him voice not to go away with my materials. After all the job I still have up to some bundles of pipe, U ways, couplers gum and some adaptable boxes. It's better U crosscheck whatever they quote or even buy 70% of their quote nd monitor the job thoroughly because they make more than their payment from ur materials. 2 Likes |

Between Nigerchin and Coleman which is better?, I'd hate to have to buy new wires or rewire after 3years...I want to be cost effective but not at the expense of quality though.... Topsy I hope it's you I messaged directly on Whatsapp yesterday because I still haven't gotten a response. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by olukaygold(m): 9:14am On May 12 |
Chidimercy:You can with less Sand... Don't forget to add waterproof chemical to your mixture. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by topsy23: 10:12am On May 12 |
MrKingOvie: Sir, Nigerchin and Coleman are good cos they are both Nigeria cables.. The only different between them is their insulation. Nigerchin is the best among all the cables, your[b][/b] can never see double length in their cables and their cable is always 100m complete. Boss, I got your message yeaterday but the reason why I couldn't reply you was that all cable manufacturers are changes price from Monday and they have stopped collecting money since Friday morning.. The only reliable price is nigerchin cable because they normally send 3 weeks notice before they increase price... So sorry for that boss... Dollar is going up and price of copper has gone up as well |
