Sorry bros, all suggestions are welcome. Next time tell them to apply oil like cooking oil, red oil etc before start work. This will easily wipe off after work. Tested and trusted

Kindly contact me if you're capable of doing a good job. I mean 99 percent. The burglary proof comes before the glass casement. Thanks.

Perfecttouchade:
it means the Burglary will have to be swing opening too so as to be able to open the Casement windows for ventilations..I can spot the hinges too holding the burglary to be able to swing..what will happen when u keep your burglary open for the Casement windows? If you want to open your casement then the burglary will have to be open too.. The best way u can keep safe is when u use a sliding window , casement can't work on this considering the security aspect of it..#myopinion Sir/ma

please can you or anyone here advice me on the way forward because recently I used 42.5 blockmaster dangote cement to plaster a whole 3 bedroom bungalow due unavailability of 32.5 grade cement within my area

Adedward:
hello boss, it depends the measurements of ur windows,. But this one I sent #35k per one embedded with anti wrust painted burglaries, and nets,

Thanks. What if the burglary proof swings out while the casement window swings inwards? The area is notorious for tampering with and defacing glass windows placed before burglary proofs.

This is an amazing thread.....

Pls can anyone help with a rough estimate for fencing a 6 plots of land close to Abeokuta Ogun state....I'm considering 10 coaches including foundation
It's a flat and dry land. Estimation would include granite for any stone related job needed for the job if any.

Also, which is advisable between single and double gated fencing, considering the size of the land.

P.s I dont have any major plan for the land at the moment. But I want the fencing done asap after lockdown.


Thanks in advance

Perfecttouchade:
the Casement can't open inward sir, there won't be reservation for your net and it will affect mobility inside the house

Chekitaut:
You good to go, if sand is good u will not observed cracking, if cracking is observed you will be advice to screed.

From the one on the pic, the net is sliding. The burglary proof swings outward while the casement swings inwards. There's enough room inside, no worries.

Please can I have a rough estimate of steel to be used for lintel and 4pillars of 3bedroom flat with a mini flat.

Please note that no steel was used for foundation
The bricklayer advised me to do the steel work once and for all in order to save cost.

Please help, I'm a novice

It is better you start building before the funds gets into something else.

Engineers in the house, pls help me on this one, how best is it to negotiate the amount the engineer on site will be paid??

Is it bit by bit as work progress. Example, foundation to DPC; DPC to lintel. Etc

Or is it to negotiate all at once, say from start to finish.

Also can I get an estimate on how much is the fees....!!

Thanks

Perfecttouchade:
yes the net will be Sliding inside the net track and the burglary is not the embedded one, so the burglary will be on its own separately but we also need to consider rainfall which might enter through the open space in the burglary and get stucked in between the net tracks and the Casement...but we can just drill a hole for the water to escape..TBH I've not tried this and I'm just trying to imagine the whole set up and see if the disadvantages won't be of harm than good..our regular Aluminium windows here in Nigeria are always opening outside.
