back2sender: I agree with this sequence, but be careful of Number 2, do that only if your site is secure. I have had cases of people drawing out the wires from the pipes and stealing them at night. Good wires are costly these days. 1 Like |

What of aluminium wire. Often times when it says 16mm it is the aluminium wire. skimanski: 1 Like 1 Share |

Posi1: You have no total area of where you want to tiled. Nobody can tell you the right number of cement you need. Buy four first and see how far that can take the job to then you decide how many you will buy more to finish the job. |

ThatHistoryGuy: bros just open your own thread and market your stuffs there. they already said this place is not for ad. but you keep disobeying. what is hard to understand with that rule? |

Posi1:Is this 2bedroom flat semi detached or single two bedroom sir? Often times the number of cement bags needed is not always accurate, a tiler may request 10bags & end up using 20. Like someone rightly suggested is buy bag as u go. Get around 6bags for a start, someone should always be on ground to supply them should incase they need more... |

back2sender: 1. Plumbing; Pipe laying only. Fttings to come after plumbing (You will be breaking walls a lot) 2. 1st stage Elelctrical (draw conduit wirings, backpanels, DB's but no final fittings yet) 3. fix Aluminium windows (cover it properly with polythene/Nylon) 4. Plastering (to seal-in windows, plumbing pipes and wires, e.t.c) 5. What about Tilling? My method, my opinion. More grease to your elbow. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by bixton(m): 8:07am On May 18, 2018 |
Daboomb: No 2: draw conduit pipes, DBs No 3: plaster walls ( at this point make sure entry and exit doors are in place/any door at the external of the building No:4: fix window and seal them dressing/rendering Etc |

jadell:I think size is a major factor. What are the sizes? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by jadell: 3:39pm On May 18, 2018 |
snakebeat: The pipe is three-quarter while the square rod is 14mm. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by write2obi(m): 4:36pm On May 18, 2018 |
Rubbiish:Portland cement can be used for walls, white cement are mostly used to blind the grout. 2 bags will be enough for 12.96sqm |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by jadell: 5:07am On May 19, 2018 |
Rubbiish: Thanks. Though it's actually a square pipe, I only think the 1 inch square pipe will be a bit bogus. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by ThatHistoryGuy(m): 8:06am On May 19, 2018 |
Rubbiish: Hi On your question it all depends on the packing of the tiles in question Tiles comes in different packing like 1.8,1.6,1.4 etc But 13m² should not be more thank 7 or 8 packs |
