I bought 0.45mm steptiles roofing sheets from a major roofer in 2016 and it is now leaking. Has anyone had problems with a leaking steptile roof?

I always try to advice people against Steptiles especially the 0.45mm.

Infact I've never used 0.45mm steptile before for any client.

My motto Is, If you can't afford 0.55mm guage steptile, go for 0.45mm longspan.

Chekitaut:

the Qs Report wasn't useless it just wasn't explanatory enough. 136square meter = 1360 blocks 23bags of cement etc

The guilty are afraid eh. Backbite and then go hide. don't say things like that and not follow through. Iwa alabosi ni yen.

It's definitely not the carpenter cos he is still working for me as we speak and one of the most upright artisans I have dealt with.

Gooday everyone, First I want to say I have been a silent follower of this thread and have learnt a while lot especially from our Omonile lawyer, in fact anybody who reads all his articles will be 80% fully armed with info on any land deals, not to forget the engrs here. Y'all are doing a great job helping rookies like me


......................................................

Question: Lagosians, You would agree with me that buying an affordable Land on Lagos mainland is becoming very tough!
In fact one cannot run away from BUYING SWAMP and worst is the SWAMP LAND doesn't come cheap (cheap is a relative term tho )

For some years now, we have been scouting for Landed properties within amuwo Odofin axis, satellite. And so far 100% of all the land we have been to has been Swamp, some disguised as Dry but its just Sand filled

I have gone through several threads where suggestions have been made how to build on a swamp, suggestions of a soil test, the need of a structural Engr and all that.

We have concluded that since all the land within this Amuwo odofin axis is Swamp/waterlogged, let's find out how much it would cost to get foundation before commiting any fund. The agents around says 3.5m can do a PILE FOUNDATION at these AMUWO ODOFIN axis For a ONE STOREY Building...

Please how feasible is this? can 3m or less erect a pile Foundation for a duplex at this area in Lagos?


Please pardon the long write up, the absence of a Dry affordable land in Lagos has made one to rethink building on swamp. Thanks as you drop your input.

This is what I want to be doing in my retirement in a few years in Western states.

But first I hope Uncle Spyder880 can take me in as an apprentice.

How do apprentices get punished by Oga? Do they beat them with rolled up building plan or worse?

Rolled up building plan got me

Additional rooms and floor plan was changed slightly

Rubbiish:

Why do u want to introduce more columns?
I thought u said d building is a bungalow sir?

Alkanelly:


this your prices is unfortunately higher than the market value.

Let the contender come lets discuss it. any price from this is a ripp off price. Spyder880 over to you.

oscarmedia:

U don't make major changes to a plan after german floor. Your engineer should know this, u can only introduce some non load bearing partition walls. which can rest on d german floor. Because certain walls need to start from d trench.

You will need an honest professional to visit your site before u make an further decision. I dont trust that your engineer.

Chekitaut:

Most of the prices you posted are current.

Good Day
You'll have to be specific about which area in PHC your site is, because it will determine some of the prices of the materials especially sand.
PHC is also my home as well.
You can chat me up 08039387432 for the break down of the first milestone.
