Please, is calculating POP square meter different from calculating screeding square meter I need answers please peeps

Pop sqm, the measurements is based on ceiling while Screeding measurements is based on wall.
But if you intend to screed the ceiling, then the Sqm is the same

the price is different too.

Okay Sir...thank you so much for the advice... Can the cement and sponge stay at most a month in the site without going bad?

Yes! But the cement must be properly kept & avoid with water.

redgem:

Good evening... Please, is Dr mix and elite pop cement good? And please how much is a kg of sponge?

Dr Mix is good! ✓

Elite Pop cement is good.

Per Kg of sponge (fillas) ranges from ₦2,400 - 2,700.
Please be careful when you buy sponge as some Unscrupulous vendors tweak their weighing scale to sell 6kg as 10kg to unsuspecting customers.


Before you Negotiate the price, Request that you want the fillas with the original scale, (if it's possible, go with your own small weighing scale) to confirm that 10kg is actually 10kg.

Good Morning Y'all.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

My Boss, I understand the court part.

I left a 75M property after several adjournment! I hope to pick up the case once I have a better and mad lawyer.

How can a family recollect a land with CofO, lol, people get away with things like this because the Nigeria system is shitty.

My experience in the last 2 years made me hate lawyers, court and the whole Nigeria legal system!

I was expecting my case to be a run in the park since I have the CofO and everything but No!

Lawyer was provably happy with the whole case because he kept making money from ms

Chai, Frustrating legal system! X

May Almighty God you.

Good afternoon everyone. Can I get a contruction Engineer and Architect to tell me what it will cost to get minimum of 9 nos of 3 bedroom flats with parking space for minimum of 12 cars in a plot of land? Plot size is 18.3 by 36.6. Please note, area is marshy and swarmpy and all other building there have piling foundation. Thanks guys

Construction Cost!?!? @Qsfemi

AngelicBeing:


@topic, I had a similar situation, but this was with OPIC ESTATE, after making payments for a land in one of their Estates, they started asking for all manner of funny fees , I told them that l don't have additional money to pay from what l was told to pay initially, I now requested for my refund, and OPIC personel were playing games with me.

I sat down with one of my friend who is a consultant and we drafted a serious letter to the CEO of OPIC, that letter rattled OPIC management , long story short, The CEO instructed the Department to refund all my money to me, the money was refunded back to me , they didn't take nor deduct any charges from my money, l got everything back.


Let me quickly add, This happened around 2017/ 2018. I was not physically on ground in Nigeria, but I was corresponding with my family back in Nigeria and also reminding the CEO that despite his instructions for me to get my refund, OPIC personel have refused, l think the CEO personally took interest in my case and I got all my money back

The CEO definitely doesn't want any problem for his company , might be scared you could put out his company name on air.

tonididdy:


That's sounds good
But personally I prefer a pop casting ( like scettings) around the corners of the roof wall, a sharp screeded plaster and a nice paint.

Kappish!

You're talKing about Cornice design. (Nice interior finish)
You sure belong to the Minimalist group.

Cold141114:


There are some POP guys i have seen using something like tornado nails on the decken in order to use it as hanger do something like binding wires that will be like extra holds to it and the design they say must not be too heavy

Plus any decken POP would be on standard cast and adequately mix too
All in all POP om decken are not to carry heavy designs, something like extra layers

You're very Correct on the bolded ,Sir. ✓

tonididdy:

I'm not a fan of POP on underdecking
There is never enough
I maybe wrong

Hello Sir, your area of concern is genuine. However, I ensure to create extra for decking areas & minimise the designs (One can do great designs, with enough ) , casted boards for decking areas are not to be heavy or too thick, all are done without compromising quality.

Below are some images that showcase our past Pop jobs on decking areas.

Mophor:

Any reason why black cement is not advisable indoor?

Who says it's not advisable indoor?!!!


I have used black cement to screed some interior space. (But, I would prefer pop cement for my interior space mostly)

Mophor:
[/b][b][b][/b]

@ bolded part,why did you say so please your reasons

Good Afternoon Sir, Am Sorry for the late Response.

POP cement is better Suited for interior Screeding.
it can't be used for exterior Screeding, because it's not friendly with water, once it's done. (Rain outside would definitely affect it) , it's reasonable to use normal cement for exterior Screeding, as it better suited in wet conditions than Pop cement.

I hope, I answered your question aptly.
Feel free to ask me anymore questions Sir.

MrOkenwa:
I was scared of my wires. I'm planning to connect to the national grid asap, even though the building itself is not ready to be occupied.
Well, they eventually served me breakfast.
My pumping machine was stolen in the site. It's installed inside the deep well (20 meters deep). They removed the machine and left with the entire connection system. I was planning to leave the site for about 2 months before going back to finish the remaining works but then, I was shown a building in the neighborhood. It was built last year. The entire electric cables of that house was stolen with so much damage done to the interior of the house during the process of stealing the wires.
I don't even know whom to suspect. I just know that it won't end well for whoever did that to me.

Wire Theft Again.. !!!
Sorry about your experience Sir, May Almighty God replenish your pocket.

Solution: I think you should hire a security guard, who can intensely monitor the site.

sethtsadopp:
I got to my site yesterday inside heavy rain. It's a block of terraces with all external work being done by the developer. I noticed several leaking points in the roof at the master bedroom in the 2nd Floor. They told us they used 0.55 aluminum but I highly doubt it. They were probably sold fake or something, cos I noticed the sheets looked light. I don't know what's the solution to a problem like this. My POP people are already molding downstairs ready to start fixing sometime towards the end of the week but with leakage in the roof, it's a major problem. I plan to put about 27 solar s on this same roof later on. Is it advisable to change the whole roof (this has to come out of my pocket) or just try to fix the leaking points (I'm sure this is what the developer will suggest when I bring it up).

A problem that needs serious attention, for now tell your pop guys not to fix yet, POP should not be in with water, once it's hanged, it could weaken it & become another reason for Pop to crash. Another fact about POP: (The dryer it becomes, The Stronger it gets).

Solution: Fix leaking roof at all costs. (You could ask a professional to help you check out the leaking portion, & check every other parts for leakage, it should be thoroughly inspected).

Rany4all:
Yes o, quite scary...I just wonder if plaster/gypsum board ceilings crash as much as our on-site produced POP ceilings do, because if they don't, then some of us, especially those not too keen on elaborate designs, may actually prefer spending that little extra just for the peace of mind.

I understand your Concern Sir, But I'd Recommend POP over Plaster board, As long as you've got a reliable Installer.


We're still here & available.

kopell:
What is the standard oooo? Crashing in my opinion is the hanging on the woods or under the decking that can not handle the weight of the POP that can course the crashing. Or cutting conners with the hanging wires.

Yeah Sir, you got it. We call the Bolded “Gashing” (it's a Pop term tho )

That's basically what determines the strength (Use of fillers (Proper mix too) of the Pop.
