n3xt: The price is very good but when the product get to the mkt the price will still be something around 2000 plus or so. In the area of there calculations this can only work in a sane country, Here in Nigeria, practically it can’t work and you will still need normal OPC cement to make your level as I explained earlier. Practically its not cheaper to use compare to normal cement. 1 Like |

rotecch77: My response in blue. I also believe back buttering the tiles with varying amount of mortar is a good way to achieve level in uneven surfaces. Though you need a spirit level and a good eye. 1 Like |

n3xt: Yes I agree with you when doing renovation work it’s relatively cheaper than OPC cement bcs you don’t need to buy cement and sand again, just place the tiles on the existing one ( tiles on tiles) and it’s very good to use in this scenario bcs it has more gum that OPC cement. But in new building you will still need sand/cement for the tiles bed bcs you can’t tiles on the concrete ( German floor) due to space you will have when you installed your doors 1 Like |

n3xt: Oga N3xt, Can I also take this in the use of my calculation to determine the numbers of bags I need? Na calculation I wan use am for based on your computation above. For the floor, will I be requiring any sand and/or Portland cement to add to it if the adhesive is to be used? Thanks. |

SakoBkup: Na wa o. Here in Ilorin granite of 5 tonnes from quarry is sold at 20k, while transport is negotiated to site and the max one may pay is between 6k and 7k. Why is it expensive in other places as stated on this thread. God help us |

Hello dear people of Nairaland! Please I want to make an enquiry about my project I am undergoing in Benin city from those of us who are good in engineering and site work. I have a 3 bedroom and a two room self contain flat which is already on a DPC level and I done the forming after the filling with just one coach. I want to give the project to an engineer to finish the job just go paraphet level I.e he will be the one to do the paraphet. The engineer is charging 2million Naira for just the labor. I will be the one to buy all the materials needed; all the cement, block, rod, wood etc. 2M is just for labor alone. Please is this fair enough ? Is the price too high? Please I need your urgent help. |

Bros, that your engr's charge is too exorbitant. Look around your area, identify any building you feel was/is well built, approach the owner to link you with whoever supervised the project and negotiate with him. Better still, we have reputable professionals on this forum that can handle it at a pocket-friendly rate. Wish you the best. sam1919: |

Yes! Engineering supervision for the work. If you have your boys who work for you, you can bring them to work while you supervise them, put things in place and make sure things are going well, while I pay them their normal fee at the end of the day. While I pay you daily for your service too. bixton: 1 Like |
