aonag: It's not a standard procedure, it is common sense. A lot of folks can fix tiles but attention to details like that is what makes a good tiler to stand out. |

Walins: Every location differs and I rarely use dredging sand for moulding. 6tyre loading........max 12 bags 10 tyre loading....20 bags |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 5:20pm On Apr 16, 2018 |
bixton:Is this dredging sand different from the regular sharp sand? Can u put your numbers of tyre per tons. e.g 6tyre = 5tons. 20=so so tons. Thanks. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 5:27pm On Apr 16, 2018 |
Dominionng: which is the best? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by bixton(m): 5:32pm On Apr 16, 2018 |
skelefish: 6tyre falls between 10 -15 tons depending on bucket size and sand loading. Dredging sand in my area in the lay man's terms does not really have "teeth". So depending on your location and cost implication, some of us use "diving sand"(local mining). |

aonag: Chief consider this, tile size I’d dependent on the room size and the illusion that you’re trying to create. Are you trying to make a too big of a room look smaller or make a small room look bigger. |

Any help would be appreciated. I received a list of electrical supplies to purchase, it contains "Nos" on most of the item. Like (Nos 15A socket) or (Nos water heater switch). Is this a brand or requirement? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 8:39pm On Apr 16, 2018 |
EgunMogaji: I don't care really, I really need to cover 700sqm of internal floor and uniformly too with what supposed to be looking like smaller materials. Well, Although i have never thought of what you just said before. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 8:50pm On Apr 16, 2018 |
aonag: If it were me I would 1) spend time looking on Houzz dot com, see what others have done from an international perspective. 2) spend time on Skimanski and RichYoungRuler threads to see what they did from a Nigerian perspective. 3) talk to you tile guy in detail to see what he needs to do a good job. Can he really handle 80x80, can his equipment cut it I apologize if I’m making it too cumbersome but I’m anal like that. You will see and use your floor every time you’re in the house. 1 Like |

nwaorlu: Forget about the Nos. It should be a certain quantity, so they have to count how many you need. Its not a brand name but the type of item you need. Contact Allcopacetic here for his catalog for "what you see, is what you get". Get familiar with the item before your electrician get you banktrupt. Hajji M. 1 Like |

aonag: you have to consider space and design na. Like I said, it's all boils down to preference. If you want it plain and you have space to play with, then that will be fine. And you seriously have to consider this too EgunMogaji: 1 Like |

nwaorlu: Before I conclude he's trying to dupe you, everyone uses Nos (number). But he just has to put a certain number before the "Nos". If he writes "12 nos of 15A switch Goodman brand" then it's fine. You can even count all the switches you need in your house by yourself OR from your drawing OR buy the switches for him with 1 or 2 extras. |

Dominionng: my eye for design is too top notch and i know this. i have come to realize that simplicity is the best form of creativity and design and this is the reason i dont mind using one kind of tiling to cover the whole space. (maybe) except for kitchen and toilet and bathroom because i would like an instance that the same design for floor tiles work with the tile design for the walls too. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 9:22pm On Apr 16, 2018 |
EgunMogaji: thanks for your advice. i like it hot. i am on houzz and i already have told my 3d interior designer everything i want and how i like my interior to be. il rather start there and work it up to reality than designing in my head and hoping it comes out that way in reality. he is just the person i am waiting for then when i am talking to anybody who has to do something for me, we should all be on the same page given that they are also seeing what i am seeing and not an instance where i expect them to see what i am thinking. no offence il pass on those threads. those designs are too overcrowded, and heavy on my eyes.. most nigeria designers need to learn the use of colour combos and be smart in their designs.. 3 Likes |

Location: Abuja, Nigeria. One of several structures built by an Indigenous Company Built from Scratch in Just 7 weeks using shipping containers ( as carcass) and other innovative green products..... It's amazing what can be done with creative thinking and the right resources . The advantages of such pre-engineered green houses are so numerous, It's a wonder this form of architecture is not widely adopted.
