LastWeek1: 1. I can’t say much about his pricing. Pricing is location dependent. 2. He’s right about using few reds and blacks for demarcation and spotting but that’s fast becoming old school. Note: coloured pigments are expensive. 3. It’s not bad to add granite if he understands how to mix the aggregates correctly. I cannot guarantee that can be achieved with manual mix (hand mix which is what will be used) unless they’re using a mortar mixer (which is 98% unlikely). If you get good StoneDust for the job, you’ll have great stones. 4. The only way to monitor him is to agree on the quantity of production per day. If the total coverage are of the project is 500sqm, agree with him to do 50sqm per day. I can give you exactly the qty of materials that’ll be required for this including the number of hours 2 mason will achieve it and the number of moulds required. 5. I’m not sure I understand what he’s saying here on the molding style. If it’s about the mould sizes, I think he’s wrong it. There are more than 3 sizes of mould. The common types are 6cm and 8cm (thickness). 6cm is good for residential while 8cmand above is good for areas with large traffic (road, public parks etc). If you’re sure he’s talking about doing 4sqm for you, I think I understand why he wanted to add granite, it’s just to make the stones weighty. We don’t do up to 4sqm if you want quality stones. It’s between 3.2sqm - 3.6sqm per bag of cement depending. ____ I hope this helps. 1 Like |

Nero2424: For small projects, you can order from brick maker. In my case, we hired the machine from hydraform guys and produced on site.

diordaves: Good one But how old is this technology and is it still in use? The CSEB in use presently is in the form of interlock setting as you can see as n3xt has shown with pictures. And it does not need insertions of rods in the hollow space as it does not have hollow spaces within. |

Still on bricks, there is this brick making company owned by the government in Enugu. The company is in the Akwuke area, most of the houses built in the 80s and early 90s in housing estates in Trans Ekulu were built with bricks from the company. There is also another old estate in Independence layout called Bricks layout where most of the houses were built with bricks. These bricks I am talking about are more brown, cleaner, even beautiful, and never stays wet after a rainfall, so it doesn't grow any mold on it. I can get pictures of these houses because we have them in many areas. I will also make enquiries about the operation of the old brick company which used to produce the bricks that was used in building all those houses. We have ample materials for the bricks here, the soil is very brown and has a lot of clay. 2 Likes |

LastWeek1: Does this price include laying of the stones on the floor or just only moulding? In my location my guy does it for me at #2000/#2500 depending on the area of coverage inclusive of moulding and laying. |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by michlins(m): 9:18am On Jan 12, 2021 |
ty01:why I recommended the use because it's sturdier knowing that rods are usually wobbly. The difference however isn't much cause I will be using just one length of 16mm on each protector. That should be -#1,500 on each window protector. The cost of transport to Jibowu is 20,000. Thanks |

bixton: Is he producing on your site or at his place? You’re getting a very good deal if he’ll bring his mould to your project at that price. Keep and hold such guy tight o! I charge between 20 - 25k for rental of my mould (1,000 pcs) for 2 weeks and that excludes cost of transportation. Mould Rental is a huge business. It cost several thousands to invest in it. 1 Like |

bixton: Relationship is everything. This is one thing I always make self builders to understand when they wanna chook eyes into DIY. If it’s about saving money, just forget it. If it’s about getting good value for your money and ascertaining quality on every aspect of the build - Go Ahead. I built a carcass of a massive dwelling for someone with 15m and he was like in his whole life he never believed foundation of such building can cost less than N4m I told him it can only be possible if you have a very good relationship with the builder/contractor/tradesperson who’s well equipped. In his case: - I didn’t bill him specially for formwork for raft; columns and beams; and slab ![]() - I produced over 15,000 sandcrete blocks for him at N40 lesser than market price - He’s not paying premium on concrete works. I have a mixer on standby for the project. - I supplied him sand at almost 10k lesser than market price. - I got him cement at official rate - He never had to build site storage as I shipped my container storage to the site for few nairas as rental fee. All these things are what increases the cost of construction. 1 Like 1 Share |
