Good mornin family, I need your help for my roofing project. My engineer is one guy that I don’t understand. Can you please help me with this quotation for the roofing of this small project? I have attached the house plan for easy assessment. I will be happy to hear from everyone soon. The house is on 30/120 and the size of the house is 21/70. Thank you all 1 Share

topsy23: Well done Sir! Thanks for sharing your calculation. There are a few things l will please want you to take not of: In your calculation, what you used are what we call 'absolute values" in that they are the maximum limit of power the house can draw if all appliances are IN USE and drawing Maximum Power concurrently but a few things are going to be obvious: 1.) A ll the 4A.c's wont be on at the same time. 2.) Even if they are, they wont all the on and the Cooker, Water heater all still on concurrently. 3.) Even if all those are on, all the 13 Amps Socket wont be in use at the same time 4.) Sockets are rated for the maximum power that theycan carry but we all know that when we dont plug any appliance into a socket, NO POWER is drawn from it, which means its power consumption at that point, from the Load wire, is ZERO! So, most time, only a few Sockets are in use and drawing power from the load wire. Others are idle. 5.) Some appliance like TV's, Laptops, Sound System, will draw less than 35W, yet each on is plugged to individual Socket! 6.) All 35 Bulbs in the house wont be on at the same time, some might be low-energy LED Bulbs that draw only 5W of energy so, they all will draw a fraction of what your figures gave! So, if you look at it, IN REALITY, at any given time, REAL POWER being drawn from the 10mm load wire is less that 45% of the total POSSIBLE Power Consumption of the House, that will pass through the Load wire, at the same time, for a single pahse wiring.. Same reason Engineers use the 16mm as load wire, for single phase. I have never see any house where appliances like Boiling Kettle is plugged to all their 15Amps Socket, and Appliances are in all the 13A sockets all at the same time, with AC and Water Heater balrring and food cooking on the Cooker, e.t.c ....all at the same time. ![]() This is why l and some will agree that a 10mm load wire, (and from experience), is adequate for the load of that the poster suggested. All the same, l thank you for your effort and opinion. Respect. 2 Likes |

This is a quick appreciation shout out to Gbadexy for a Wonderful superstar job done for us recently. Haji recommended him some yrs ago, I kept his details and continue to monitor his work here. He blew us away, like others have said before honest, a Pro and a good example of a wonderful Nigerian you will be proud to deal with. We roll on to the next project Gbadexy, people for your painting jobs call Gbadexy for peace of mind. 4 Likes |

Segunrusell: It's a bit higher, tell the engineer to reconsider his quote a bit from materials to workmanship which is believe is the Carpenter charges only. I normally use previous projects done to evaluate future project management and approaches. By area the building isn't as big as the estimate should take. I know how much I used for this building I did for a Nairalander here My opinion though.

Dennis3D:thank you so much for the response, my uncle actually said the same thing but this engineer is always doing this to us. Inflating everything and telling us it’s not easy to work from upper floor that if it is a bungalow it’s different case entirely. How much is good for the workmanship. I’m thinking of telling him 120 or max 130k 1 Like |

My Good morning people. Trust we had a good day yesterday. Please I am seriously considering my financial status but still wants the best. Parapet vs No parapet What are the pros and cons. This is where I am now at. I am considering casting the beam and roofing or casting parapet before roofing. My pocket will tell. |

rotecch77:thank you sir, well I did created a thread for the project asking who can roof the project. I just received a quotation and we are still negotiating. I’m trying to get the best and pocket friendly offer so we can get the roofing done ASAP 1 Like |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by rotecch77(m): 7:22am On Dec 06, 2019 |
Segunrusell: Oh that is good to hear sir, your power of negotiation is very necessary while negotiating with any body that submitted quotation. More so the cheapest price doesn’t mean good work oo. Ask the person to show you his previous work or to take your brother there to see . (That is if the said person is nearby). |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Segunrusell: 7:37am On Dec 06, 2019 |
rotecch77:I will do as you have said. Thank you for the input and at the same time can you pls help vet the quotation a little? I’ll appreciate sir |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by rotecch77(m): 7:39am On Dec 06, 2019 |
Segunrusell: Ok I will check and revert back soon |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by rotecch77(m): 7:59am On Dec 06, 2019 |
Segunrusell: Go this way. Ask him to buy real 2x2 (50mmx50mm) not the so called (“solo” size in the mkt) it’s not good for roofing work. Although the price is btw 300-320. More so cost of logistic is much if you are buying the wood from itamaga area their in Ikorodu. (Bargain btw 18-22k max) Workmanship around 120-140k max” 1 Like |

Muyi002:Since u are even casting the beam, there is nothing a parapet will add to your building apart from aesthetics. If your pocket is lean, I will advice u leave parapet |
