Thank you for you input, the work has not started yet and I wouldn’t mind waiting out for your modifications which will be of tremendous help to me. Thank you.

Sometimes I know people don't like to spend money for quality services... however, it's not advisable to be penny wise and pound foolish.

I will advise you to get an architect and request for a professional drawing that includes your electrical, structural, and mechanical settings and parameters. Spend the money now and have peace of mind when your project starts. All these help me correct or review this or that is not good. When you have an error in the cause of the project who would you hold responsible? Remember, it's more expensive to amend something that should have been done correctly ab initio later.

My 2 cent!

A friend of mine wanted to roof his house with 18 bundles of zinc but I told him I will do the roofing for him using normal aluminum. My question is what is the size in terms of square metre of 18 bundles of zinc and whyis the cost.
Secondly what is the cost of wood and labour to do the work.
Thanks in advance.

Are you a roofer or a DIY enthusiast? When you offered to do the job instead didn't you have the answers to the questions you are now asking? Why did you offer to do the job if you don't have the answers to the basic questions you are now seeking?

Are you sure you are a roofer or a pretender?

In my honest opinion... There's so many things wrong about the design.. Once scaled, challenges wld pop up...

You need a properly designed plan... IF YOU HAVE NOT STARTED,I can offer to help, a modification of what you have now for free. (bearing my busy schedule in mind).

Won't be this week sha.

Goodluck

If dpc of 6inch is put into consideration i think on it solutions & correction can be done.

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by redgem(f): 7:25am On Jul 17, 2020

Question 1:
- The number of 18Bags of Cement could be wrong and could be accurate, based on the tonnage (5Tons, 10Ton, 15Tons, Full Tonnage or Ashewo Tonnage!) of your Trip of sand. All that cannot gurrantee whether you are cheated or not.
- 38 Blocks per bag of Cement is not bad and even that does not gurrantee you wont still be cheated.
- Focus your effort, if you are worried about being cheated, on ensuring that yoru Bags of Cement dont disappear over the fence or get resold back to a nearby Cement Seller............ and that requires your pr4sence and supervision of the work as it is being done.
Those Workmen can even use empty Bags of Cement to replace an unused one for you, if you are the tyoe that thinks counting th enumber of used bags to tally with the number of bags of Cement you gave them will give you any idea. grin grin

Question 2:
a) No one can tell you how many Blocks will be required to Lintel level because you rPlan doesnot contain dimensions/measurements.
The full dimensions will be needed to estimate the number of Blocks.

b) That your "Engineer" should be sent away (but l am sure he is not an Engineer, just some Artisan/Bricklayer).

Question 3:
The position of your Guest Toilet was okay, how on earth can he move it outside?
Does he want to come at th emiddle of the night to use the toilet when you are sleeping? Guest Toilet is for your guest, people you allow into your house, not strangers passing along the road and need somewhere to shit. grin
Send the Toilet back to where it belongs and tell him to stick to your plan, if you still decide to continue with him otherwise, keep his ass out fo your building project.

Your foundation does not inspire much confidence, l hope the blinding is thick enough and the Cement Mix Ratio is adequate?
Never compromise on the strength of your foundation, it is better to over-build the foundation (that can only cost you money), than to under-build the foundation, that would cost you a lot of money and the whole house, within a short time! undecided

More Power to your elbow.
BTW, l love your plan.

Thank you... I don't know anything about building and mixing, will ask him.. Thanks a lot

No no no! From your question I realize you are not a roofer, you can't give out what you don't have!
The only way you can help your friend is to ask the roofers here to tell you amount and quotation of aluminium to use provided you have the dimension of the roof at hand to avoid rip off, not trying to do what you don't even have idea of.

That's exactly what I want. I'm not a builder. He wants me to give money to his friend who is a carpenter but i need to know how to bargain with the friend.
