tonididdy: Coil is 4 - 5k each, 10 - 12 coils should be enough for a standard plot of land depending on how the wires are stretched. The V shaped angles should be fixed ahead, cost N500 a piece. |

fabulous85:I was born and bred in a flat roofed house with the Swan Zinc you people have rejected today but till now the roof is still there and am not less than 30. So it's possible your friend' s house was roofed with all these "Painted Papers" called Aluminium sheets or Stone coated tiles. 3 Likes |

mufutau55:Imagine o, I took a carpenter to measure my house for roofing sometime ago. I told him I wanted a low roof with gable style and he told me categorically that he would not do it because it's no longer in vogue. He started brainwashing me to do the "send down the rain roof", I told him I want my own different and that if he's not ready to work, then i would get another person. And that's the country we are in- copying and being copied! 2 Likes |

Goodmorning everyone.... I hope you all having a nice day , so I am all new to this construction whole thing and my dad and engineer been the one generally overseeing the project as I have been busy with my work also. So my project is a 2bedroom flat 2unit up and 2unit down and now before they do the German floor the engineer said he will bring his plumber and electrical guy to come start the work as it’s going to be a conduit building. So I need advice as regard how much i can bargain with the electrical and plumber guy to do the whole building because I am sure the person that started should be the one to complete it definitely. So how much should it cost to do the whole electrical and plumbing work of the whole building of 2unit of 2bedroom up and 2unit of 2bedroom down making a total of 4unit, I will sincerely appreciate your advice nairalanders. |

Donoppy:Make payment & negotiate in phases, only plumbing is required in dpc, floor drain alone, at lintel or decking stage electrician can do piping. |

Hello house, is it true that getting quality plaster sand is very hard during raining season? I want to commence plastering but a neighbour friend said l should better wait till dry season so as to get quality sand with quality outlook. Please how true is this? |

Donoppy: You don't need tonegotiate all the installations now. What is required now for them to cast the German floor is SOIL and WASTE pipe. Electrical is not really necessary. When you get to decking level. Both electrical and plumber will work together as well. 1 Like |

topsy23: Okay thank you very much , so how much could that plumbing work cost me for workmanship fee? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Donoppy(m): 10:52am On Jun 20, 2020 |
Chekitaut: Okay thank you ... so you mean I should first negotiate got the German floor first and at the decking I can just negotiate for everything , So how much do you think is reasonable for foundation workmanship for plumbing . |

Anyway, you tried but the calculation is not accurate which might lead to excess spending. Let see this; a plot of land 120ft by 60ft(110 total perimeter) 110÷15m(1 roll), approximately it will give you 8. Which means you will need 8 rolls of the wire. The Y-angle is sold for 350/PCs(the normal angle size) Dominionng: |

Exactly! The problem is not the flat roof, the problem lies between the roof construction and materials used. I so much love flat roof, less is more... Chekitaut: |

joycluv: I guess it's just unique. Even the White House has pillars at the approach. It's only about your taste. You mustn't follow the "crowd". I did mine because i like it and shows uniqueness and strength, not because everyone is doing it. In fact am using the square type instead of the round pillars. It's different strokes for different folks. 1 Like |
