Please house, what is the current cost for a bag of cement now? I had a working estimate from the beginning of the year but my builder just sent me a revised estimate as a result of cement increment.

I'm being charged N1,600 for Dangote 42.5r delivered to site in Ibadan. Traditionally I've been able to get it for N50 to N100 less when I'm on the ground.

That's the thing about doing build from afar, the cost benefit just doesn't work out

I couldn't agree with hajj more.
Property section is the only section I tell people with pride that serious minded and matured people are free of nigerian politics and it's trouble.
Let's please keep this section a platform for sharing ideas and information.

I don't really want to derail too much here, but statement like '' you guys should just know what you did out of pride and vote Mr right next three years'' is very wrong and should never be used in formal discuss.

In democracy people have the right to vote based on their personal experiences and conviction labeling Yorubas as Nigeria problem because they refused to vote for your prefer candidates that has proved to be a failure is very wrong.... I am a yoruba and I am not your problem

Many thanks.

Hello everyone,

Pls quick question.

Do I need parapet for Aluminium roofing (Longspan, Steptiles or Metcoppo)?

Thanks in advance

lastpage:



@Selade


With those diagrams/pictures, l think Hajj M has nailed it completely.
A Picture, they say, is more than a thousand words.


The only thing you need to do is take "pen and paper" and do some "mathematics" (if you dont mind),
using Pythagoras theorem (C^2 = A^2 + B^2)
where C is the rafter side of any chosen triangle within the roof, A and B are the other two sides

or you can also use that acronym we use in Secondary school days: SOH-CAH-TOA.

where S= Sine of Angle x°, C = Cosine and T = Tangent.

With these two equations, you can calculate all you need concerning wood and Aluminium cover.


My Take:

*Roof can beautify a house in unquantifiable ways!

*Choice of roof-shape is also determined by the Shape of your building

*The higher the King Pole, the costlier your roof will get.... but High Roof wont rust/leak easily as they dont retain water or debris, easily.

NO. You don't need a parapet for aluminium or any other roofing.
