For me It all depends on the stage of work. When doing concrete works. Elephant yellow label is better. But when plastering dangote works for me. Then as for laying of bricks you can go for what's available 1 Like |

jossy26: Yes. Superset is preferred by most block makers. Another cement I see them buy mostly is Ibeto and BUA. |

I'm trying to find a thread by one of the builders where some of the pillars were formed inside of blocks instead of wood form. Thanks. |

mufutau55:Good day sir, I sincerely need your advice. I am building a 3 bedroom duplex which has already been decked. We used nine inches block exclusively for the ground floor which comprises of a a living room, a guest room, kitchen, dining and store. 1. What size of block is appropriate for the the first floor? Is it nine or six inches? What are the merits and demerits of using either? 2. Can you please give me a rough estimate of how many blocks I will need for the first floor of 3 bedrooms( including one master's bedroom) and a mini living room. Thanks in anxious anticipation as my next move defends on this. Tnx.

How much is a well ring? Thanks. |

Which one is well ring, is it that thing that looks like a concrete culvert they put on the floor surface when a well is dug ? EgunMogaji: |

Did I not tell all of you guys nothing will happen to Lekki Gardens, this is Nigeria. Those execs from LG probably drink at thesame bar with the authorities that are supposed to checkmate them and probably even share same girl friends self. mavverick: Despite the below, would anyone consider lekki gardens, they are offering a 6 bedroom terrace close to Chevron for 29m ![]() ![]() Culled from castles magazine.

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 11:10am On Jan 09, 2017 |
mavverick: Happy New Year. It's the concrete rings that they put inside the well to stop collapse of the walls. Similar to this.

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by mavverick: 11:58am On Jan 09, 2017 |
Ahh makes sense now. The last well i used over 2 decades ago now in Lagos did have the ring, I wonder how they do it. With what you have said about your rocky terrain on a high altitude, have you considered borehole ? Could also sit well with your plans to go off grid, if you get solar pump. EgunMogaji: |

Everfrank: I'm not an expert but for mine we used 9" for all the exterior walls and anywhere there was a pillar/column (I think) and 6" for the inside rooms, regardless of the floor level. |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by mufutau55(m): 6:43pm On Jan 09, 2017 |
Everfrank: Sorry.. I miss this. 1. I will advise you to continue using the 9inches blocks because of the size of structural columns (pillars) and beams that may already put into the building. But you can use the 6inches in some areas for partitions. If you are trying to save on cost, 6inches won't save you much money. 2. Sorry this is not easy to estimate because no building is the same. Calculation of the blocks will need the plan with all the measurements readable on it. If you know how many blocks was used on the ground floor, you could estimate on the top floors.
