gbadexy:
While we are at this discussion, I will add an experience I had at store of calcium carbonate filler.
I saw one of the workers filling the calcium carbonate with water in new paint buckets and asked him out of curiosity what it was for and he said that was what the customer told him to do. One matured person called it a term I can't recollect now and he said he uses ordinary water to complete the paints but this is a better idea he would use because those mad people don't like to pay.
I'm aware painters fill empty paint buckets with water together with real paints. Any used paint bucket of any brand could be gotten by them.
If you get the workmanship low, they would still find a way to make it up and often at the expense of quality or just at the client's expense in ways they don't know. This isn't about paint but everything in life in general.
We all know we work hard to get our monies. Even contractors here are someone else's client and it's not easy making money but pricing shouldn't be much lower than what we know ourselves is below standard and be happy we made good bargain. We live and let others live too within reasonable limit.
Lower prices definitely doesn't assure quality. Higher price with low quality simply means it should have been gotten lower and the person was cheated.
Thanks for sharing this information.

Please can you give a reasonable range of workmanship that good painters charge in Ibadan?

No sir but I could give you the number of a painter in ibadan. I understand that some painters mouth is already wide but this painter based in ibadan willingly gave a very reasonable charge than what the painter I sent from Lagos charged and his work was neat that I promised to be working with him even in Lagos.

That the client price is low does not justify delivering a low quality service.
The customer reserves the right to negotiate a service to his affordability and if you,the contractor can't work the price,then it's statemanly to let off the deal.

Stop justifying what's wrong.Everyone who has worked on my projects is met online.A lot has delivered good job but the few(met on Nairaland) failed woefully.I only deal now with those who have visibility outside Nairaland

I was merely stating reality. Nothing like sugar coating or political correctness.
I advise painters and artisans that it's not all jobs one take. Even when the price is high but it looks like the person would be difficult to work with.
The reality is that someone that has been at home idle with debts and responsibilities would not feel the same way. He would take any job and later find how to make profit on the job. That's what sometimes causes some artisans to abscond and abandon jobs.
What ought to be and reality are two different things.

Please does anyone know what is next after POP ceiling, Plastering, window art work, sliding window, and external door has been completed.

What should be next in the building phase to do?

My engineer suggest tiling should start, but want to check if anyone has any further ideas?


Also, a second question - I am looking to run inverter to give me opportunity to be offgrid if i choose to, will the wiring be different from the main house wiring or the electrician can leverage the same? any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.


Have you done doors? Do you intend to screed?
If you intend to screed please screed first before Tiling.

I'd direct your 2nd question to @Twinskenny

Plumbing fittings and tiling should go hand in hand.

The wiring for solar is quite different and a little expensive. For a 10kw, you might send up to 500k to 700k for the wires .

Hello guys, please advise me.

Below picture is the survey plan of a land I have had for a while now, but want to start something on it now. I will be meeting with an architect and engineer next week, but I am now thinking of what I want to achieve so I have come up with this very rough sketch on the plan.

The land currently has a foundation on it which is the red coloured box in the picture. I bought the place with the foundation on it and I don't even have the plan of the foundation, so i will re-work it. My plan is to build a 1 storey building comprising of 2 units of 2 bedroom flats downstairs and 2 units of 2 bedroom flats upstairs. The blue coloured box is the area I envision the building to occupy.

The black coloured box is where the gate into the compound will be and the grey coloured box will be the parking space for about 3 cars. The green coloured box will contain at least 2 shops and the pink coloured box will be a garden where madam will plant crops with the kids - that has always been my dream. Finally, the yellow coloured box is where the soakaway will be.

Please, what do you guys think of this plan? Notice that the planned house and soakaway will cross into the area where the old foundation currently is. Will it be easy or even a good idea to re-construct the foundation to my plan and also turn the remaining part of it into soakaway?

Also, is it a good idea to have the entrance into the compound on the part where the house is, just as I depicted in my plan?

Again, I love the idea of having a sliding gate instead of the traditional 2-door gate. But the sliding gate will likely traverse or get too close to the area the shops could be. Any thoughts on how I can work around this?

Grateful for your responses

Thank you very much. I will consider the plumbing and tiling at the same time.

As for the solar, i am quite ready for it. I am looking to do a 10kwh and 35kw battery with at least 15-25 panels on the roof. I am currently designing a complete off grid system.
