saydfact:Thanks for your input sir, The staircase was later reduced to 1800mm on the final plan sir, tho initially I intend on leaving the store without a door, but on second thought I think I'll need to place one where you highlighted, during the building process, or what do you think? Below is a picture of the final plan @saydfact 1 Like |

n3xt: If you say its this...how come its only affecting one side of the building? Also one of the windows broke during installation, could that not be enough for airflow? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by gbadexy(m): 10:24am On Aug 21, 2020 |
ceelog:From the picture, there are two possible causes. Water could collect at the hole created by the bamboo used for scaffold and it could also be that the lower part of the windowhood isn't draining water. I noticed the lower parts of the windowhoods are damp. That side of the building is most likely the direction rain and wind face. 1 Like |

ceelog: Can you send a sketch of the building floor plan? The other side might have a balcony, terrace etc which encourages good airflow. Also the orientation of the building matters too. Windows should be placed north and south for optimum cross ventilation. One broken window is not enough. You need to open windows in opposite sides. Try leaving all the windows open and see if this stop the damp. |

ceelog: Casement window are fabricated to lap with the vertical, bottom and top frame, and I can see the it was done that way. Unlike sliding window which are fabricated to move inside the bottom and top railings which always have a gap in between the railing frame and the window leave, this always have hole to drain water away. Now since you have casement window the chance of water to drain into the inner part to the building is slim unless the window is not well fabricated. Likely causes of the problem (dampness) in that part of the building is the HOLES on the wall. Solution: go and patch up all the holes then let’s see the outcome result. 3 Likes |

bablex: Looks really excessive. 1.6m for woodwork of an area less than 400sqm seem like overestimation. But then, I'm not a builder and very inexperienced so you can hold on for some other views |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by boay(m): 4:32pm On Aug 21, 2020 |
kingzsoul: It depends, raft foundation or in some cases pile foundation. It depends on the peculiarity of the location/situation |

Thanks very much sir, glory be to God for his wisdom over us here[quote author=MrOkenwa post=93033952] I promised to give my review after placing order for Aluminium windows from Adedward, for my Low budget bungalow in Abeokuta. So, today has been very eventful at my site as he's presently installing the windows and at the same time installing the Aluminium long span roof. All I can say is that Adedward is a perfect gentleman. His charges are highly competitive and very flexible. I changed my windows’ design midway into the job and he tagged along. I later contracted the Aluminium roofing job to him, as elders will say, one good turn deserves another. More importantly, he didn’t fall sick nor go into COVID-19 self isolation after collecting my hard earned money. He delivered my job as promised, without setting his eyes on me ‘cos I’m not in Nigeria. My review is 5 star. Caveat: I’m just a satisfied customer sharing my experience about him. Due diligence is still very important, as it’s always being advised here.[/qu 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by GoodFaith: 6:13pm On Aug 21, 2020 |
soonest: My Sister 60k is the right price anything over 60k for 360 you are getting legally robbed without a gun Woodwork labor for 360 should be about 80 to 100k Material wood area like Edo with high price for wood 500k t0 600k 2 Likes |

Donoppy: Though I do not intend to share my project pics on Nairaland but I’ll be glad to do so. Sometimes it’s important to compare Apple with Apple. I’ve never done roofing woodwork of any project on Nairaland with over 1 million naira. Wetin we dey build or buy � Most times, it’s greed of the contractors that always drive up project cost. Here’s something done with less 1 million naira. Let’s see any 1.5 million naira roofing woodwork and see if there’s any difference. Wetin the contractor wan buy � 1 Like
