Greetings experts and enthusiasts. Please I need information and advice on staircase. I have been discussing with my tiler. He wants to charge the staircase differently. He first mentioned 40k to my shock. Its a small duplex (4bdr) and the width of the stairs is roughly 1.2meter. 1. Could anyone help me estimate the sqm of the stairs? A range is okay...maybe from your experience. 2. He thinks we should use normal 60 by 60 tiles (or common ones) but cut them to shape and mix the design. What do you think? Go straight for longer tiles? Cost is a bit of an issue. 3. I would prefer the tiles with those 3 friction markings but he says that's expensive that I should go for tiles and add the metal edge trim. Any advice to make a good choice? I will be glad to get feedback soon...the process is to be started this weekend. Thanks 1 Like |

Shady92: Very possible. Have an Architect do a site visit, verify the measurement of the land and stake out the perimeters before you start digging. |

temi4fash: Are you building a bungalow? If NO, do the correction now before it’s too late. It’s not important if your engineer has ascertain the integrity of the existing column or if you’re maintaining the existing design. This is how to unload an existing column and introduce a new one if important. 1 Like

Thenext: To get real fact figure building plan is necessary here. But to safe time and since you only needs Likely cost here we go. Things to consider - Rapid increment in cost of materials presently - your site location (mainland) a lot of street urchin (omo-aye) demanding payment from all angle. -Size of the building. Based on experience you can budget btw 3-3.5m for the foundation Then budget 2-2.3m for the block work to the decking stage. |

ceelog: Actually stir way are charge differently to sir time consuming, A stir way of only 12-15sqm can take a good tiler 2days to finish it up If it’s room or other open floor space he can cover btw 30-40sqm in a day. But your power of negotiation is the key to the said amount from your tiles but something in Region of 25-30k is good. That is if he is give good finishings job. Back to the tiles to be used, I will say use what your budget capture that will also give good looking to your building and stand the test of time. Here are some work our firm handle in the past and present. The 3 roll track ( the wooden colour) is more costly A meter square cost 7500 (Italian/ Spanish) The second pics with stainless edge cover is size 30*30 Spanish N4000 per meter 2 Likes

oseiwe:/ By mere looking at the quotation, I can read the mind of the engineer. 1. Get you to commit and get started. Then you will see how far the materials get you. Na for your face e go happen. OR. 2. He has a direct link with your village people. They want you to abandon the project half way. N.B: Substructure alone will chop a lot of the materials listed. / 5 Likes |
