If it's wall tiling, you will need about 30-40
If it's floor tiling 25bags, depending g on how well prepared the surfaces are.

Quite obvious from the attached pictures, DPM and DPC was omitted during construction process, resulting to movement of moisture (dampness). Meanwhile using of bad plaster sand (with salt content), poor workmanship in mortar joints, vegetations e.t.c. can also result to similar defects.

In solution, I advise you employ one or combinations of the below listed techniques.

1. Insert a new DPM or DPC; it's technical in approach and will cost you quite much but it's a lasting solution.

2. a. Hack off existing plaster from wall (within the affected level) and expose through about a course layer below the external ground level.

b. Apply about 3 layers of bituminous paints and cement wash at intervals

c. Plaster the affected wall with water resistant admixtures.

3. As mentioned earlier by gbadexy, carry out concrete flooring around the perimeter of the building.

Thanks

rotecch77:



Haaaa all these items cost is almost equivalent to build another house ooooo
Lol

gbadexy:

Good evening sir,
This is capillary action of ground water on the building. The ground is dry but when it rains, the ground becomes soaked and the water moves upward through the building.
Best solution is to do concrete floor so that drains away from the building.

Rejoice04:


Thank you sir. Am a woman.

Do you mean concrete flooring of the compound sir?

No matter how poor the quality of finishing is, 18-20m will not give you good duplex in any path of Nigeria.
Carcass alone will cost you about 13-15m, while the most moderate finish will also as much

chukzyfcbb:

you guys always scare potential builders with your quote.

so 20m can't build a house with moderate quality finish, at least something adorable. Cost of land is not inclusive o...and yet 20m can't do anything quality even if it's moderate level?

These houses I see at Ajah that goes for 35m, yet the finish is moderately fine tuned not too high class like having Victorian chairs or some Gold plated shiny interiors.

I think you are exaggerating tho!
One reason I don't like coming to this thread to read stories, it can be discouraging.

abdulwastecx:


No one is exaggerating anything.
In this clime, 20m can't build you a five-bedroom duplex, it is as simple as that.

The problem we have in Nigeria is people planning to do what they can't afford, a simple five-bedroom bungalow with moderate finish can even be done with 18m, but extending that to a duplex may be problematic.

20m will not cut it, you will need a minimum of 35m to get anything reasonable, irrespective of the soil type

ugileo:
well am not advertising but just want to advise anyone out there who cares that, labour cost for construction in Ile Ife is cheap. hostel for student is in high demand. experience has shown that one can actually get a land and build 20 rooms for N25m altogether. each room can be rented out for 150k/annum. am a civil engineer based in Ile Ife and have done one for a friend. u too can do same

tevanso:
Since you are doubting us, buy your materials . let me just do the professional part for you. Lets know the scores. By the time u reach finishing, lets see how much your 20m will remain.
