CHAINED LINTEL:

Not just around (perimeter) of the building but also the inside dividing walls.
EVERYTHING, all the blockworks are CHAINED together so that they can give each other strength and share the weight of the roofs. Also prevent all those slanting cracks you see over walls and windows.
if you can afford it, it is the best method.

So sorry for the error. Was thanking you for the analysis you gave and also kindly asking to know if your build is somehow the same size with mine. Mine measures 42ft X 42ft. It has a total of 17 doors and 14 big Windows and 4 toilet Windows. Thanks

Abdomox:


Mine 40ftx40ft and it is 15 doors....13 big windows....5 small windows

joycluv:
Honestly I can't thank you enough for this. It's much better to get it directly from someone who has had similar experience. Plz did you do German floor? If you did, what was the thickness and how many bags of cement did you use? Still Thankful...

Abdomox:


No I dint. I only filled all the foundation blocks with cements and gravels.

spyder880:


If your target slab thickness is 150mm and mix ratio is 1x2x4, it should take about 25 bags of cement.

joycluv:
Ok. I will still be consulting u for other things as we proceed. God see you through in your project

Good morning house.
Please am an ardent reader and silent follower of this page and I can't but say God bless everyone for the good job.
I need contact of anyone that can do cement board in Lagos.
The cement board is for the white part of the building below. Thanks in advance.

Shame we have to import everything though. Any enterprising engineer or our brothers from the East could simply offer this as retrofitable accesories for all the millions of WCs out there.

I see no big deal, just a replacement cover moulded to accomodate the tap and drain, then simple plumbing attachment in the basin itself.

And, you know what? There is plenty of funding out there for this sort of thing. Just pitch it to a well-connected NGO or international donor organization with such bombast as "a water saving device that addresses the shortage of water in the third world brought about by climate change ..."

ThatHistoryGuy:



With assorted of wc flowing in from a technologically advanced China? Believe me so long as there is no stable source of power supply in this country we are on a long thing .

The cost of producing that wc here may end up higher than the average imported ones.

Lastpage is a fraudster. He works closely with Bosun shoyeye aka Brabus, N3xt of nexthome on the backend...you need more info just ask.

People be warned! [/size]

please experts in the house help out....the kitchen area of a bungalow is decked and carry's the water tank,now that area is kinda peeling out(I don't know what word will best suit it) on the inside...how best do we tackle this problem to prevent a disaster from happening... note:The building is a bungalow...even the kitchen walls are peeling out with minor cracks....thank you..

aonag:


why not transfer the tank to a stand alone steel stand?

KolaShangOne:


True. But just as China makes almost all the products going to the U.S, we can also take this prototype to China, give them our own standard, and they will make thousands for us at a cheap price, and try to secure government waiver so the prices will be reduced.

dear sabi folks,

Chinese or Nigerian made pVC ceiling? and who knows the average cost in the Delta axis?

Dominionng:


Go for Amoula PVC(Nigerian). You can check their site for price.

http://www.amoulaventuresltd.org

China made PVC is of lesser quality but cheap. A bundle is N6,000 in Lagos aside the accessories, and can cover 8sqm. Price in Asaba should be between N6,500 - N7,500
