Hello house, greetings to everyone.

I am planning to do both internal and external plastering of a 4-bedroom bungalow. The building has a sitting room with dinning, Masters bedroom with toilet/bathroom, 3 other bedrooms, kitchen, 2 toilets and one bathroom, a sit-out.

I want to have an idea of the financial implication.

Is there a way costing is done when it comes to plastering?

I would appreciate responses from the experts.

Borehole is strictly location specific. What's your location?

Water tower depends on type of product. There's galvanized pipe and 'H-pipe' . What are you looking at?

Galvanized as from 300k for 40ft. It's not unusual to spend well above 400k with cross (X) beams.

the location is Niger state and the land is on a rocky outcrop that would need serious rock breaking, you can imagine the type of rocks that you see in lokoja, the building would be two blocks of semi detached bungalows, please what do you suggest.

Good day brothers and sisters, what could be the reason for the error in hand mould block. I was there with them and the produced 25-30 blks per cement for 9". On getting there today I discovered some are very strong and some can't be held from either sides.

I am weak and tired.

Please help.


If not for the fact that I want strong blocks to avoid crack and others I would have go for buying.

I want to know the reason for this problem

Thanks for the response but what does that translate to in terms of cost/ workmanship?

I want to know how charges are done when it comes to plastering?

Is it charged per room or what?

I just gave you the basic info
do u want to contract it out
Bricklayer charge about 3500/400k daily
service 2000/3000 daily
please check the above prices in your location
so if I was a contractor and tell you to pay 14,000 for one room
now you can look at the total numbers of room you have a add it up
if two bricklayers is about 7/8k and services 2/3k
You are looking at about 9/11k
I will tell the contractor i will pay 10k for a room

Layman opinion: Not watering the blocks, not mixing sand and cement properly and may be not enough cement in the mixture despite your instructing them to make 25 -30 blocks per bag of cement.

I don't have any experience mining water from such terrain but if it were my lot I will do the following:

Seek out neighbours to find out how they source water. I will look for a neighbour with a functional borehole and ask for reference and bounce off ideas off him/her.

If for some reasons no local example to take a cue from, I will look for a reputable company or persons to carry out a credible soil/topography test and mapping. The resulting report will determine if to drill for water or not.

In such topography, drilling for water without prior test may be money down the drain.

Thanks for the suggestions,that's my plan A although none of my neighbors have a borehole or well, what's your views about digging a well and fitting it with a pump?

Is it charged per room or what?

it depend on how u want it, u can either award it out as a contract wish they might charge around 150k -200k
or u hire 2 bricklayer and 1 labour which a bricklayer will plaster 2side (wall) in a room, so the two of them will plaster one room In a day. and bricklayer will take 3500-4000 while labour will take 2000.
so depending on your choice.
but I will advice u to award it out as a contract

Good evening house. So I and my husband started a small building project recently. In fact the foundation just commenced this week and the building contractor who was recommended to us by my brother in law said that people no longer dig foundations to be very deep again, thag what they do is raft foundation. We decided to go with his suggestion as he seems to know what he is doing. However my dad and my father-in-law went to the site and has been bombarding us with calls saying the guy does not know what he is doing and that the house will soon collapse. In fact that the guy needs to dig really deep as the place is slightly water logged. My husband called his friend who is a civil engineer and they friend also confirmed that the raft foundation is what should be done but thag it should be done for 4feet as against the three fee our contractor wanted to do. However the level of calls from my dad and my father in law is worrying. They both have two houses in Lagos each and i know my dad is very knowledgeable about buildings and constructions but he is in his 70s and may not be privy with latest building advancements that why I said let me come and ask the people that can simplify this thing for me. Is digging deep the way to go or is the rafting the way to go? Structure is a one storey building.

For a one storey building, I think 3 feet is adequate. Better still can we see a pix of the area

listen to ur eginneer,

I did the watering myself. I watered it the second day and the third day with plenty water.

I think a bag goes for 25-30 is still within the standard.

I want to belief the problem is from mixing the materials/components together.

Let me ask if there is any sharp sand that could be the reason for substandard blocks

Soil should not be generalized, the particular nature of your land cannot be known remotely. Prescribing a particular type of foundation or depth remotely is a bad practice. Only consider suggestions from people who have visited the site. However, some professionals who are familiar with the area may over kill it in a bid to be safe. For example, raft foundation recommended for water logged area does not mean the soil is bad, hence, the raft foundation could be an over design and lead to wastage of resources.

The 1 foot difference may or may not be important but the raft foundation will help to eliminate cracks in your building and will not stop settlement entirely. The bad type of settlement associated with raft foundation is tipping. If your land is uniformly level and the soil type uniform too, i guess the 3 ft should not cause much concern due to less risk of tipping. This way if the house will settle, it will do so uniformly and not cause structural stresses that will be alarming.

What type of sand is that?

Sharp sand

In matters like this, it is not what your folks say, it is what your civil/structural engineering and architectural drawings say. Do you have an approved building plan? Is the plan civil/structural engineering certified? The drawing includes the design of the foundation, so go back to the drawings and please, please DO NOT go DIY. Use reputable professionals. This is cheaper on the long run. For the structural integrity of your build, do not go DIY, follow in full without cutting corners the civil/structural drawings and you will be happy. The structural drawings are your bible/Quran, follow them judiciously. The safety of your building and even metal health depends on those drawings trust me.
