Hello the experience and professionals in the house. Kindly advise me on the quotation for wiring attached here. The house is a portable 4 bedroom duplex with a Bq. It occupies about 200sqm. I feel the materials is too much and I sense the man may want to buy them in excess and take the rest home since am the one buying them. It is a full conduit. This phase is to draw buy wire and draw it

elengine: The quote can only be questioned IF the plan of the house is available... 2.5mm and 4mm quantities are okay based on the size of the building and am very sure each room will have AC including sitting room and each toilet will also have water heater... The only quantity that looks suspicious is the 1.5mm red BUT if external light as included it's okay... Also I noticed that there is no green or yellow colour which is the earth cable in 2.5mm and 4mm cable . 2 Likes |

Ok. I will get the plan available. As for the green wire, does it mean that he omitted it or there is other ways to handle that topsy23: |

Jdesigns: Greetings The answer to the question you asking is relative. There is a standard price rate for excavation per cum. Calculate the cum of total foundation excavation from the drawing multiple by the rate. Its going to help you bargain with labour. My observation..... please on that plan where is the kitchen? What's the rationale behind having the windows less that 1m? even in the sitting room? A whole lot of coordination and spatial issues on that drawing. My advice, engage a professional, at least for the client's sake. Thanks all the best |

elengine: The green cable is necessary unless your electrician doesn't want to earth the building... U might decided not to use earth cable for lighting but socket, AC, Water heater and cooker Unit is very compulsory. If not earthed you will be having some electric shock in some equipment like fridge, electric cooker, microwave, kitchen sink etc.... Make sure your house is properly earthed. 2 Likes |

westliverenterp: My brother kindly follow PROFESSIONAL ADVICE or people that have went through such level before. To be candid with you if you are planning to build modern structure with this materials ( sandcrate block, cement, reinforcement, tiles, modern wiring and plumbing, aluminum or asbestos roofing, pop or pvc ceiling etc) your 5million is a lot of money but it can only give you cacas and LITTLE PART of the finishing or without any at all. Let’s forget where the building is going to be build. Most of the material I mentioned earlier are even more costly in village the only thing you can get cheaper in village is SAND even in some village the cost of getting sand is almost the same with Lagos or any urban city in Nigeria. Most of these materials are not manufactured in village so don’t expect it to be cheaper Cost of labour is almost same every where now, So don’t think I’m building in village or town so all materials and labour will surely be very low compared to urban areas. DONT Build substandard structure (cacas only I mean ) that will give you problem in nearest future. But when it’s come to finishing you can use Nigeria cheap or low cost materials Such as Pvc ceiling, Nigeria tiles, nigeria doors, medium quality paint etc. Don’t use low quality materials for your electrical wiring and plumbing piping work ooo. Spend your money wisely, low quality thing at times if not all the time in building gives more problem in nearest future. 2 Likes |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by topsy23: 10:57am On Aug 13, 2019 |
jabolo: Nigeria cable is 100m per coil/roll. if the electrician is telling u 75m that means he's using imported cable. All imported cables are not up to 100m and they are not original and even cheaper than Nigeria cable, They are copper coated cables I.e not pure copper and their 1.5mm is almost the size of 1mm. They have very thick and big insulation but tiny copper conductor..

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by allCopacetic: 11:17pm On Aug 13, 2019 |
allCopacetic: Over a year Ago. I postulated the bolded as a relatively safe and accurate method that can be employed in verifying the authenticity of cables. I had intentions of providing the information in red, which was the missing peice of the puzzle but very sadly never got around to it. Time and chance. I thought I was alone in this line of thought... Fortunately I wasn't. I am pleased to announce that as of today, approximate weight of each size of COLEMAN cable can now be found on the label(as pictured below). This was introduced by the Company a few months ago, and is now in full effect So for any specific size you're buying , if the coil in hand does not weight the same or very close to the factory's stated weight for the specific size ( too high or too low) Then you very likely have some foul play. Read the post in the link below to understand why it'll be difficult for counterfeiters to work around this. https://www.nairaland.com/2550211/general-topic-thread-to-discuss-anything/928#66439673 Alot of distributors aren't even aware of the import, but this is big progress in the fight against cable counterfeiting. And a measure that other manufacturers should employ. Information is power people, Arm yourself 5 Likes

I have a 8x6 glass greenhouse which I plant up with mainly tomatoes. I have suffered from tomato leaf mould for the last two seasons. So guess I need modern ventilation. Here https://texair.eu/ I read about a new technology for the construction of similar facilities and solutions for creating a microclimate in greenhouse facilities. Quite interesting. |
