Port443: Sorry but the nylon is as good as nothing... You need 2 LAYERS OF SCUDOPLAST, then screed over it and lay tiles on it. Even a layer of scudoplast won't do the job. Goodluck 2 Likes 1 Share |

ajabani4allah: What you get is not as important of THICKNESS of what you get. They're all OK. Just make sure you get a thickness that's OK (0.5 or 0.55 preferably). Goodluck |

My country people and elders in the building Na my first time to build.... I kept bringing out money so tey i spent way above my budget just to get to lintel phase however please I need an advise for an estimate cost for the decking for a semi detached duplex (4 bedroom each duplex I.e 8 bedroom semi-detached duplex) The site engr has estimated about #4,226,000 just for the rods (decking) while another engr on the side who is willing to handle has estimated #1,050,000 Brethren to say I am confused is an understatement I decided to run here and perhaps get professional advice. Please note that this is the cost for rod alone Let me break it further how they arrived at the said amount Site Engr; 70 lengths of 16mm rod @17,000 =#1,190,000 300 lengths of 12mm rod @9,400 =#2,820,000 50 lengths of 8mm rod-@3400 =#170,000 Binding wire = #45000 Total = #4,225,000 *Alternate Engr* 2) *ROD 16M² 25PIECES PER 1? N14,500× 25 = N350,000* 3) *ROD 12M² 60 PIECES PER 1? N9,200 × 60 = N552,000* 4) *ROD 8M² 30 PIECESB PER 1? N4,500 × 30 = N135,000* 6) *BANDING WIRE #20,000* Total = N1,057,000 Please make una choke mouth for the matter |

saydfact: Thanks for your input. I appreciate. 1. What advantage does this modification have over the former ? Just curious 2. The width is 1500. Can this accommodate a door and window ? |

Noworries11: Go with your site engineer. Buy half of everything he requested for first and supervise the job. Run from the alternate engineer as fast as you can. 2 Likes |

Iriruaga100: Funny comment but can you give reasons why he should run from the latter. I want to learn, at times you have like 4 different quotes for a particular task and you end up as a confuse man. My rules most times is to buy only 75% materials of what they quote because of past experience. |

therealMcCain: No1. With that door in the kitchen, it's difficult to position a sink and a gas cooker in the kitchen, the door basically makes that kitchen a lobby from the inside to the outside. No2. Yes, I saw it's 1500mm, a door of 750mm by 2100mm and a window of 600mm by 1200mm would perfectly fit in.. (it's an exit door not the main door, so 750mm is more than enough) Goodluck.... 2 Likes |

Noworries11: Its obvious you need help not because of the 4m quote but rather because you believe 1m quote is possible. Like you said, it's a 4 bed duplex (x2). I'll advice you stick with the 4m guy.... 1 tonne of Rebar is almost 900k, so how can 1m rebar do the job. Look through my profile, you'll find a post that solves you problem ie I've done a post on HOW TO CALCULATE NOS. OF REBAR NEEDED. Goodluck. 5 Likes |

Iriruaga100: Buying half wld only make him spend more and that's what he's trying to prevent because it's added transportation. For a note... It's 8 bedroom duplex... I even see him using more than what was quoted for... Solution: He shd get an experienced person to check the quantity needed by sharing the plan or he shd buy everything his supervisor asked for. We can't keep believing that ALL supervisors are cheats.... If we assume that, then it also means me, you and everyone here is a cheat as well. There are good people still out there and I see his supervisor as one. That quotation is as good as accurate. Cc: Noworries11 4 Likes |

therealMcCain: It is a half decent design for a bedsit but I think you've missed a trick or two relating to space utilisation and functionality. With your design, there are lots of dead spaces and non functional spaces. #That 1200 space by the side of the bed is a dead space and a waste for a bedsit. # A Balcony of 2850 for a bedsit is a very expensive luxury which is a waste. # The room has no focal point. Where will you "hang" a TV, where will you put a table and a chair to watch the TV. It is a non-functional room. # A rear balcony for a bedsit is a very expensive luxury which is a waste of space. # The kitchen is non functional. How? Two doors in such a small kitchen kills all useable space. How do you arrange the space for a stove (gas cooker) and a worktop and even wall units and shelves. SOLUTION Look at my suggested design of apartment 2. For me, I think with my suggestion, the space works better for the occupants. There is proper cross ventilation which you want and there is a functional sitting area with no dead spaces. You can compare and contrast and then decide what you think is appropriate for your target audience. But I believe my design is a better design for a bedsit than yours.

therealMcCain:Hey man .. Not all questions / discussion I share my thoughts on this days. But let me tell you DONT disturb your self about this plan. YOUR architect did very wonderful job to bring this luxury combo design out, you need to buy him drink. ( just make sure the kitchen exist door open outside the lobby). I said this based on my theoretical and practical experience as a Builder. Don’t ask me any further questions I will not answer …lolz 1 Like |

Noworries11:Is like your mental health is not value to you by thinking your site Engr is ripping you as some think that all engr as rogue. By the time your new proposed Iron Bender calling himself engr deal with you finished you will know how far. You beta prepared about 6m-7m for both the two duplexes iron rod before the project will become abandon one ( God forbid ) If you don’t believed the figure I said take the money your self and go to the market and watch as the work going on then come back here and feed us back with the final cost. Then I may not say anything … I value my time and health now. I wish you well on your project . 1 Like |

Noworries11:Go and get the materials as listed by the first person yourself. You might even need more. The 16mm is a lot or I would assume he is also doing the staircase or your house has a few cantilevers. Just ignore that second person, except you have money to throwaway. 2 Likes |
