Thats true . Thanks

The same guy can recommend a carpenter.

I love using the same team for my roofing project. It saves lot of headaches and blame game.

“Na carpenter’s responsibility” “Na roofer suppose do am.” If you understand what I mean as owner-builder.

I’m using a C90 Plate Compactor

- 5.5hp Robin Petrol engine
- Weight 125kg

Good for most residential projects (foundation, landscaping small plots etc).

I don’t have closer pic of the compactor but here’s a short video while using it on a project.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekzcFwqPcLg


Edit:

Just added an online image

The compacting machine is very nice
But the guy that quoted 15k per day for 20days which resulted to 300k for only compaction is a Thief.
When you can compact a whole plot of land of about 650msq in just a day for just 15k

Is he compacting a whole community......20days

The overall sqm is about 6,000sqm. There’s no way we could achieve 650sqm in a day when the same compound is filled with interlocking stones.

It’d be easier compacting 650sqm in a day if we are buying the stones or producing in a different site.

The reason for on-site production is to cut off the cost of transporting the stones to site. We were able to save over 500k using this approach.

That means the whole area is about 11/2 acres of land wow. Or it’s diff location total 6000sqm. In all ?
Then I think a well site organization will be best to achieve more open space since you are producing the interlock stone is batches.
But the good things is that the machine is yours now which can be used for future project.

The total area is 2 Acres.

Built Area - 1,600sqm
Interlock - 5,966sqm
Open Field - 2,000 +

Even with on-site production, I still spend over 120k on labour to move the interlocks alone.

I have never seen a ceiling fan installed on pop before. Considering the nature of ceiling fan(little shaking and vibration), I think it will crack the pip with time.

It has been done severally. Check various threads of Spyder880 for samples. You dont install the ceiling fan directly on the POP, rather on roofing wood or if decking on a specialized hook incorporated into the concrete slab during decking process. Thanks.

Yes that is what I mean about 1 1/2 acres of land for the interlock area.
The money spent also is not bad
But I think in any future work someone can arrange such BIG space to achieve some leaser expenses.

1. A space of about 650sqm (1 plot) can be calf out as production and others activities area so that the remaining open space of about 8 plot will be free for compaction and laying.

Baba, trucks too needs space to move too. We first delivered 8 trucks during production.

I had to ask molders to spread out so that we won’t spend millions moving stones.

Beside this, we also spend a whole day to move the interlocking bricks closer to the next area we are compacting.

I couldn’t use the open field because the landscaper has treated and planted field.

I think we produced over 200,000 stones.

I thought so too. When I insisted on this for my project, the supervising Engineer and the entire gang of artisans said “oga, the POP go fall”. It was me vs the world and I changed my mind to my continuing regret.

Our people are sometimes too stuck in their ways.
