godquality: - Here are few wrought iron designs by NextHome. - Local welders can handle this for you. I also have welder who can handle this at your site _____ Burglar bars won’t stop thieves but a good design will serve as deterrent to the burglar and discourage them from attempting to break-in. That’s where functionality comes in. 1 Like

Good observation. The rationale behind that is that block work PIERS are expected to be used at interval along the girth of the fence and not Reinforced columns. There's only provision for the 3 columns, of which the gate will be anchored. n3xt: 2 Likes |

QSFemi: This has to be pointed out because if the client receives a quote from someone like me who’d budget for reinforced columns and coping, he won’t feel I’m cheating him because his QS quote is cheaper. I hope you understand sir. ______ Even my 1.5m high fence do have reinforced column. I believe in doing it right the first time.

Your points are valid to the extent of the specifications and scope you used. Same as mine. However, this estimate was presented in a layman's format for ease of understanding for the client. In a firm bill of quantity, all these concerns about specifications and scope of work will be duly spelt out. I understand your take because most clients are more interested in the total estimated cost than the items that built up to make the total cost. n3xt: 8 Likes |

n3xt: The column is starting from d strip don't forget o . Let assume 12m for reinforcements length They bend about minimum of 300 inside the strip 300*4=1200mm What he have left is 10800 10800/3 = 2700(2.7m) Then he cast mass concrete off 300mm Except he's dropping the rebar straight he can achieve 4 or reduce fence height .. There r recommendations for that though ve stated one abve |

Hello everyone, please I need someone that can remove all this planks used for casting the decking cause it seems the Carpenter that did the woodwork is getting full of himself like it requires a special machine to remove them. Or kindly advise on how to go about it. Thanks

BuildingProject: Oh... there actually a way to go about this next time. You should spell it out in his cope of work (removal of formwork) and keep some balance till this is done. They’ll charge you separately for removal of formwork. Kindly talk to him and offer him something reasonable. If he’s unwilling to do it, I can give you an egun (Cotonou) carpenter who can do it. The only thing I can tell you is he’ll take over your carpenter job if he step on your site. Not with juju o but he’s going to do everything to impress you. Talking from experience. Let me guess, your carpenter is a yoruba man. _____ Someone here recently asked me how to go about carpentary labour. 1 Like 1 Share

n3xt: Yes. Baba Samuel. Am terminating his contract with me already. Kindly get me the contact please. After he collected 260k just to lay the planks and the rest. He wasted so many materials. The architect told him to get 3/4 PLYWOOD. He told me to get half inche and it was condemned. I had to go and get marine boards after. Additional cost. |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by n3xt(m): 1:17pm On Feb 25, 2021 |
BuildingProject: Yes. I learnt he’s in Cotonou. He’ll get in touch me with me shortly. He did 95% of my projects so I can give him reference. Show him anything. He’d bring it to reality with minimal resource. Note: I don’t get my carpenters involved in material procurement but I pay them well.

BuildingProject: Don't remove the plank for now You will need the plank for parapet The wood you will likely need for parapet will be less than 100k When you are doing the second floor pillars carpenter will take wood from your deck When you are doing your parapet carpenter will take wood to use Don't pay for carpenter to remove the wood for now 2 Likes |

GoodFaith:The formwork should be deconstructed. If you want to reuse the woods, negotiate with the carpenter to also remove nails from the woods so that they will be easily used. 1 Like |

Good advice. I had wanted to ask him reason for removal as he can still use the woods for other things like sock away , septic , gutter and parapet I did my parapet and spent only 18k in total for cutting and extra 1/6 wood . GoodFaith: 1 Like |

uncleteeh:This is the best way to go about it in my opinion, even with all the percussion the woods can’t be 100% good condition afterwards Woods are like gold this days I hate buying them. Cost of woods at the end of the day may equal or more then cost of cement after the construction. 2 Likes |

kopell: This is one reason I invest in steel shutters and marine boards. I just can’t cope with the amount of money wasted on planks in a project. If nothing else, the huge savings I got from not having to plaster my slab is worth the extra spend on marine board. I always move straight to screeding after drawing my wires.

kopell: Thanks baba. Those actually fall into my 1847 project. We’ve gone many steps ahead. I added a concrete vibrating table to my equipment list in 2019. This means we have the capacity to produce lots of custom precast elements on our projects. We could be saying goodbye to in-situ lintels, septic tank/manhole slab,coping etc and embracing precast elements built to industry standard. In the third quarter of 2020, we ended the regime of wood formwork for parapets with the introduction of steel forms for parapet. As I always say “We are constantly evolving.” https://drive.google.com/file/d/11A89pCZiINs7aD3XlNoMeH3UpHA6Z7s8/view?usp=drivesdk |

GoodFaith: I'm aware of those points of yours but I need to fix a door inside one of the rooms below to start keeping materials like generator and cements cause water is entering into the storehouse built with pan whereby making all the cements to harden. Without removing those bamboo, it will be difficult to move in materials. And my intention is for the person to remove them smoothly and arrange them to one side until it is needed at the parapet stage again and the pillars. 1 Like |
