allCopacetic: This is ingenuity at its peak,replicating this structure in a 5000 square metres land area would be a sight to behold. My reservations on the workability/acceptability are summarised below, and would appreciate co structured response on how to solve the following shortfalls I envisage on this project. 1.Security, how secure is the structure from outside intrusion- Awon boys! 2.Town planing approval / documentation 3.Safetty from rain and lightning (thunder storm) 4.Ventilation 5.Electrical wiring & safety standards 6.How many bedroom is the structure on the pictures and an estimated price range or spend required for this project Thank you 1 Like |

Flaghouse1: Also look at long term. I have. Still a good opportunity but 1) when not done and protected properly it has the potential to become a nightmare. 3) it’s not that cheaper than conventional build. 2 Likes |

Flaghouse1:1. I Believe it is easier to breach a brick and mortar wall than a shipping container. A few blows from a sledge hammer will give you easy acess to a brick and mortar wall, but you need some serious equipme to easily cut through this. 2. I don't see why town planning will deny you the pleasure of building your house with 3. I'm not sure what you mean by Safety from Rain, but with regards to lightning strikes, If sensitive equipment on telecom towers that are 99% metal with heights in tens of metres can be protected from Lightning strikes..... 4. Ventilation? ? That structure is superbly ventilated. Part of the beauty of metal is the ease of adaptability. you can cut openings as large or little as you like. In whatever shape or form, In any location. You can weld and create all sorts of burglar bars and attachments.look at those stairs for instance 5. Nothing special about this case, it's even more convenient and faster to wire a structure like this. It also poses less fire risks because of the materials used. Fire won't spread easily. But note the use of the right kind of wire..... multicore flexible cables ( which have extra pvc sheating on top of the pvc insulation) as opposed to single core cables which have only pvc insulation. That way you do not run the risk of cable insulation getting bruised or peeling off and exposing the bare conductor to contact with any part of the metal body. |

HolyCraig: I no tell u? The finish is what dictates how expensive a house ends up at. I don't care if you build if from Pepsi bottles if it looks like that then it will be expensive. There's no shortcut. Just look at Spyder880s village house. See how much it cost him and he's a talented shopper that goes to market. Anyone can throw a 2 bedroom shyteshack together for N5m or whatever but a good designed house with fop flight finishing specs? That one na another story. 3 Likes |

kopell: Free. If you have a crane and a trailer. They liter Lagos - Ibadan Expressway. When they fall of the trailers, they just unload into another container because they don't have crane to lift it. Heck, you can maybe even spin it to Ambode that you're beautifying Lagos by removing liter and they'll pay you |

We did discuss on this thread the advantages of cement screeding over the regular pop cement and paint screeding. I was of the opinion cement screeding is better but not used much because of its slower drying and setting, hence why contractors that want to hurriedly leave one site for other jobs don't favor it. like I mentioned then, it's stronger, smoother and the slow setting ensures there is no wastage of materials. In gypsum screeding, after 10 to 15 minutes, the paste becomes too stiff to use and has to be scraped off the bowl. Even mixing in small quantities doesn't totally prevent this but significantly minimizes it. Here is a link to the building of our own hajj muftau where cement screeding was done: https://www.nairaland.com/4453773/painting-pictures-hajji-mufutaus-kobo-kobo I assume this should remove doubt about the feasibility of cement screeding for internal and external screeding. 2 Likes |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by gbadexy(m): 1:33pm On Apr 17, 2018 |
bixton:The pop powder is replaced with portland cement to be used to mix the pop emulsion paint to form a paste. Some topbond or other brand name variety of it is best added to the paint to reduce the risk of cracking. like 1litre of the bond to 1 drum of pop emulsion paint. While acrylic based paint is the best type of paint in all type of paints, experience has shown that addition of some pva based topbond type binders helps to minimize possibility of cracking due to it slowing down the drying rate of the screeding plaster on the wall after application. Cracking is caused when the plaster doesn't have time to shrink uniformly due to drying. The top dries faster than the under. but adding top bond slows it to allow more uniform drying due to its alcohol content which has affinity for water. |
