When I say Mexicans, I meant the Mexicans in the American building industry not from Mexico. You also know they dominate the industry because a Nigga is not ready to do such work lol. Also bear in mind they know how to build with both concrete and wood (Framers).I know your state and I know how houses are built there.

Even Dominonng on Nairaland is using sheetrock. All those are not new in Nigeria. I am just pointing out.

What I'm dying to ask is if he can do a comparison for us between these buildings constructed in this manner versus the traditional manner, both price and time.

@engrkenny;tiles adhesive is also known as gum cement here in niger,its used as alternative to normal OPC cement in tiles laying and marble laying,
You can also use it to lay tiles on tiles(lay. Tiles on existing tiles without breaking old tiles)
It's as much high bound than opc(that is why they name it gum cement here)
How to use:prepare your floor or wall very well and allow. It to dry up for some hours(if it new house) then mix your adhesive with water (don't let it to be watery) then spread it on the area with the help of trowel then start setting your tile one after the other

A 25kg of this adhesive can cover about 8meter of tiles but the it very cost here although is very fast to use than normal old system

rotecch77:
@engrkenny;you can add little amount of normal OPC cement (dangote,lafarge etc) to make it dry fast
Thickness of the mixture on the floor 2cm to 3cm thickness is ok, same applicable to wall

I know nothing about building like Mr egun tho who seems to be very resourceful and have answers for everything ... But lets be real for once here. Its like you are advising the young man to go to yankee to study law and not UK when his goal is to later come to naija to practice. Everyone knows UK is beta.

@Brokensword this might not be the kind of suggestion you expect to read from me. But ask yourself these questions?

1.When you come back from your training oversea what do you plan to build with? Block or wood like the Americans?

2. If its wood and sheetrocks like yankee folks you want to train with....Are you planning to ship in all these quality building materials with current exchange rate?

3. If you still plan to build with wood...think about our climate in naija and also dont forget the termites too.


Dont forget to always begin with the end in mind....

If you just want to go to yankee to explore ....just say so and People will be able to advise u beta.

Horlawoomey:


To buttress your point sir, the unit of measurement in the US is quite different from the British System we use in Nigeria, the code of practice too is not similar. These two can reduce time of assimilation to some extent.
