Good people. Please what can go wrong if I suspend my roofing project after the woods have been put in place. The wood work has been completed but I don't have the funds to buy roofing sheets till July salary is paid. This means exposing the wood work to elements of weather for roughly 60 days. I am not entitled to salary advance and I don't want to borrow for the roofing. Please advise. |

Good day all. Please i need help! I have been a silent reader here. Oga mufutau55 and all the experts in roofing nogging. I intend roofing a block of 2 flats (4 bedrooms at the front and bedrooms at the back flat) and the carpenter gave me an estimate for the roofing wood nogging and the ceiling nogging for a king size of 20ft. (Location Benin city). 3by4 = 35 pièces (unit price, #1900) 2by4 = 270 pièces (unit price, #970) 2by3 = 60 pièces (unit price, #850) 2by2 = 560 pièces ( unit price, #600) 1 bag of nail 3inches (#8000) 1 bag of 4 inches ( #8000) Transportation #30,000 Labour for the wood work including ceiling nogging #190,000 Total amount =#951,400. I am not a rich person, just managing to build a home and i think only wood and ceiling nogging for almost 1 million naira is excessive. What are your thoughts please? God bless you sir as you reply. |

ThatHistoryGuy:The maths is pretty straight forward. Is the cost calculated per carton or per msq ? If cost was calculated per m2 and the total number of supplied tiles match the given area 160m2 , i don't see where the confusion is. Small advice bros, stop flouting the No advert rule. It leaves a bad taste. I don't think you were ripped off @MrJohnson1987 9 Likes 1 Share |

allCopacetic: Thanks man I don't really blame Mr Johnson much probably this is his first time of dealing on tiles He paid per square mitre and got supplied per square mitre . For me I just want the issue to die to avoid denting my reputation here. On the no advert rule,have stopped that since. 3 Likes |

Please, want more expert advice. Want to ask if there is no much problem if for any reason foundation of a house not not be dug in some part due to traces of hard sedimetary rock just beneath the surface of the soil. Though the Architect said the builder should just make sure that the blinding be rich in cement , the builder also say that's how the land in that area is and that's how they have been building..... As a Novice in Building, I thought Foundation should be deep enough, but now they can dig some part at all. Any implications of that? The house in question is just a small two bedroom flat. Thanks. |

To Discuss Anything and Everything that doesn't fit into an individual thread. Let's discuss everything pertaining to Building Constructions, Real estate and some more. Construction not like any other profession is a science and therefore its approach and method should be treated as science. Starting from the conception by the client to handover/delivery, scientific approach much be applied. Building and other infrastructures don't just stand, abstract works must have been in place before erection. This abstract works include proper documentation of the properties and survey. It is after this that conceptual design (bringing the client ideas into reality) can be made. Detailed designs are made after the conceptual design stage. Detailed design involves production of Architectural drawings, Structural drawings, Electrical and Mechanical drawings (in rare occasion) and work programme/schedule. This is the starting point to get erection of building/infrastructure right. In this first stage, professional (someone who has been trained to observe standard and with necessary certification) must be engaged in the design, analysis and production of detailed drawings. This is what is lacking in most projects/jobs. It was Aristotle that said " Give leadership to the philosopher king that is let those who know be at the vanguard". If the design and drawings are right 30% of the building/infrastructure collapse can be averted. There is need to engage people that know. Other stages in building construction will be posted on this platform. Meanwhile, for the design of building, construction and supervision you can contact +2348023382433. |

aonag:lLike howm Kw/H are you contemplating in using, basically in this day and age there should be no doubts to using renewable energy. my pros, a) No Noise b) One time buy (i.e you only buy it once and if it is a quality buy 25yrs warranty ) c) No servicing except probably cleaning the panels D) No pollution E) if your roof is facing the optimal location Space is also saved and if it is offgrid with enough batteries you are good to go and if you are not around the intelligent MPPT controls eeverything for you The cons High Purchase price. The difference lies in the hand buying a Generator of that high capacity is a no no for me alone the noise ,pollution and because it is a moving machine it will require regurlar servicings and the worst of it buying diesel to fuel it. If one now calculate how much you spend on fueling and servicing why not then do d needful and go for Solar |

bixton:Okay we are still thinking & still using our Nigerian metality, my Mercedes should and must be bigger than yours, must he buy one with a complete coverage of everything or only the necessary things. We have solar as big and as small as one wants and to Batteries he just needs to get the right ones (i.e LIFEPO4) , Tesla PowerWall, infact batteries are getting better and longer life span as before. Where i stay you have houses used only as Sommer residence and only powered with Solar if Alhaji permits i might post pictures. It is a pity the Govt, is not Subsidizing this Energy source where i live you tell the Govt you are interested in Solar come and see how much Subsidies and incentives they start to give. |

If I am not mistaken length of wood in Benin is 18ft long as opposed to lagos where it is assumed to be 10 to 12ft long. As regards pricing why not go to the market or send someone to price for you. Quantity wise it appears off to me but then what kind of roofing sheet covering are you looking at. If its normal aluminium then. 3by4 and 2by4 combination is too much and 2by2 is diabolical 2by3 on the other hand is too little. Provided you can monitor its use I would suggest 3by4 and 2by4 about 220 pieces 2by3 about 130 pieces 2by2 about 200 pieces So you want 20ft king post(rich person roofing) and you dey complain as suggested look 16ft king post and adding 30 percent to my original quantities with the exception of 2by2. shelliz: 2 Likes |

Goodday expert in the House, I’m a silent observer of this thread! Please I would like the help of the gurus in the house! With the economic situation in Nigeria right now, how much roughly would make a standard mini flat from foundation to finishing point in Lagos precisely. Thank you all 1 Like 1 Share |
