Hello house, please can I use 6inches block on a decking with 1 feet shootout even though i used 9inches all through at the ground floor? I used 35 pillars at the ground floor flats, can i reduce them to 20pillars at upper part flats of decking? Is it manually made blocks are better or machine made with a bit of stone dust blocks. Please enlighten me more. Its not water logged, 6units of flats |

Abolarin91:I am aware Dulux and Levis were the best paints brands in quality in Nigeria then...I wasn't sure if they were following up the trends of different paints for different situations like we are use to in Europe. Noted the abysmal electricity situation will make the extractor fan not be put to use regularly, but with better air flow in the kitchen steam and moisture will dissipate easily and satin paint would protect the wall against any penetration. |

Rerin: I am not a building expert tho....I think you can use 6inches for the upper floor to reduce load on the decking and ground floor pillars/column...one foot is not really much.....check out some thread here from: @spyder880, @rotecch77, @Timol, @Dennis3D, @n3xt etc to see and get insight of what are possible in the building construction. But reducing the pillars to 20 could have some effect on the structure.....I would advice to maintain the same numbers of pillars for the upper floor. I hope they notice your questions for a better answer. |

rotecch77: In that case the client choice defined that situation..... Oga Hajj once commented that knowing Nigeria for what it is it's better to tile all walls for rest of mind, but that seem to be a general view about kitchen and bathroom in Nigeria. Yes, noted that majority of Nigerians doesn't have consistent maintenance culture attitude but it not really necessary if you understand how protective satin paint could be. 1 Like |

omanzo02: The default setting in Nigeria is “All Bathroom/Kitchen Wall Tiled” Today there are many antibacterial paints with formulation to produce a cleaner environment. There are also steam resistant paints and the greaseproof paints that can be washed without any colour fading. The possibilities out there really are endless! 1 Like |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by omanzo02: 10:33am On Sep 08, 2020 |
n3xt:Exactly! Mostly in hotels I have noticed all bathrooms wall are tiled but in some only the areas where the shower or bathtub is are tiled....in residential houses where the bathrooms or toilets are partitioned with wooden materials get all tiled mostly.....I believe we could be more creative with tiles and paints than we do now. |

kopell: Let me tell you what you need to know and why you may not get sand at the price shared. When I bought my truck and took it to Ajah, the suppliers association said I cannot use it on my projects except I register as a supplier. I told them I have no business with any association. I bought my truck just like anyone else can buy a Mercedes. I can determine what to do with it on my own project. I told them I’m not selling sand. I just want to use it for my personal project. These guys won’t have it. So I decided to use 2 strong suppliers (one at Abraham Adesanya junction and the other at Alpha Beach). They have access to my truck anytime they have jobs and my driver mention their name anytime they have jobs. So if you see my truck on the road and you ask my driver how much is sand, it’ll be the same rate as every other supplier. The same thing applies to trucks from other states. You’ll definitely need a supplier which ever way. But I dare any supplier to say I’m wrong. Most suppliers don’t play games with me cos my supervisor always tell them “Oga, get hin own truck o.” I have full data of what it takes to move a truck from Ibadan to anywhere in lagos and even within Lagos (the diesel, drivers fee, logistics etc). So as a honorable minister, I have decided to off my mic on this subject. 3 Likes |

omanzo02: There are houses in the USA with full wall tiles in wet areas. Additionally we really can’t compare west areas in USA and Nigeria due to how we build. We use water resistant gypsum boards in wet areas in the USA. This serves the same purpose as tiles in Nigeria. 3 Likes |

JustCryptos: Good thing you noticed. I have refrained from talking about it so people don't brand me a hater. The guy michlins is a MIDDLE MAN and NOT a welder as he claims. He goes around snapping pictures from welders and claiming they're his jobs and, spamming people's threads uneccessarily. How will someone who has so many jobs under his belt have only one thread advertising his jobs and several threads selling phones? I noticed it very long ago but, chose to just mind my business of reading posts. |

EgunMogaji2: I once did an open plan studio concept for a mixed used development and we had plans to carve out a bath from the open space. The architect asked me how do you intend to control damp in the room. There were no tiles, no floor drain etc. I simply told him “We are using Backer Boards.” The real issue is not using tiles but most people don’t even know the alternatives out there. |

I don't know about Levis paint but I am 100% sure Dulus still maintain their quality till date! I used Dulux recently and I am happy with the result, though it expensive but it value for money. Dulux have different paint for different purpose. omanzo02: |

EgunMogaji2: I have personally seen all full wall tiles and partly full wall tiles in the USA and some other part of the world I have been to and I think building construction are very different from what I am use to in Europe where creative combination of walls and tiles are popular in kitchen, bathrooms and toilets but cross boarder sourcing of ideas and interior decoration u find a mix of both these days.....some apart toilets don't need tiles at all. I just felt we can be more creative and do better than the general view that only tile can get us a better decoration or keep moisture away. |
