Simply put, it is much more expensive when compared with stamped concrete.
Consider you will spend money on following:

Floor preparation
Cement and sand
Cost of quality outdoor tiles
Labour

I disagree with you, al you just stated are equally employed in making outdoor tiling landscape. Even more. You need a colourant, a sealant and a releasing agent.

I need electric accessories.whats your location

Why don’t people consider tiles for outside flooring?


This right here is well done and beautiful

Might be cheaper too

Stamp is good but the heat during hot weather is something else

My only concern is that it will be very slippery when wet. In addition, the material strength cannot be compared to concrete. So, tiles will not withstand the weight heavy trucks . They will definitely crack under such pressure.
Lastly, the cost of tiles with authentic anti slip surface would be very expensive. They are even more expensive than granites.

I speak from personal experience and quotation. You use a more cement for outdoor still buy tiles..colourant, a sealant and a releasing agent money is chicken change to price of tiles

I'm not ing the Guy, but
The Price is less than 900k if You know your Way and also depending on who You're dealing with, cos that same TMT, I still got it at 870K on Tuesday at Adoekiti, while another Popular Distributor in Adoekiti wanted to sell it at the rate of 1.2m.

You could be right but TMT is different from TMT PSL’s TMT is cheaper than that of Hi-tech. That’s of Hi-tech is cheaper than Tiger. Etc
Some rod manufacturers are only writing TMT on their rods but those rods were/are not made , using TMT technology.

Lots of people are buying locals as TMT.

Correct TMT is not lesser than N1.5m

I can do it for you Sir. me on.

In the long run, tiles are preferable but you see those quality outdoor tiles you mention don't come cheap...forget these guys using cheap tiles, you don't want to manage anyhow tiles for this project

You speak my mind. I went to a client house in Ikoyi and saw so many cracks on the outside floor tiles. We went there for power audit because they always have power surge. I don't think tiles can withstand the weight of heavy duty trucks like Interlocks and stamp concrete.

@ 7500 per square metre?I used 125 bags of cement to floor my yard, 2x25tones of sand and nearly 50tones of granite, I did the stamping myself cos I made the tool design myself.

So I am talking from personal Experience as I was doing my building DIY, I just dnt know why I did not explore the tiling option.

same thing I communicated to you when I saw your work on that Eastern project.
I wish I thought about this when I was stamping my floor on one full plot… some thought for future projects.
But I will first compare the cost of tilings with good outdoor tiles before jumping into decisions.

I would rather do what you did than use all those common shine shine tiles. I have seen the real outdoor tiles and I definitely know that nothing they have in Nigeria comes close to it.
This is from a place I went to today .
The real thing to do is using natural stones that are cut into regular tiles shapes.
In Nigeria because there are no property insurance, people just do whatever. No insurance would cover any house with such outdoor floor because it’s a big liability.

Tiles will also absorb heat and release it back into the compound. Stamped concrete and compound tiles are bad for the environment as they encourage heat, localised flooding and erosion.

Grass (field turf), flowers and trees are best compound solution. One could execute a compound garden concept from just 50k with amazing result. Grass, flowers and trees (nature) are incredibly natural heat absorber and expeler.

So my own is why are homeowners not exploring the garden solution..

Maintenance of garden is tasking. Every two weeks or so, you are cutting grasses and trimming shrubs. Even when you have mechanical tools to do these things, weeds in very hard to reach places must be hand pulled. Herbicides are not my thing, the cost of chemotherapy or radiotherapy can even build one duplex.
At the end, you spend most of your weekends when you are supposed to rest mending your yard. Except if you can afford a paid gardener, then no problem.
Another thing is insects, even rodents and reptiles. Guess what flooring type would be more inhabitable for them?

I need a good architect that can draw a very suitable plan of event centre with a gym.

This is precast rib slab construction. I'm planning to start providing this service in Nigeria

It has lots of advantages like, it being cheaper, it's faster and it's as sound as the rigid slab normally adopted in Nigeria.

Also, you can achieve the required strength for the rib beams because they can be properly cured.

One major disadvantage is that its ts need to be properly designed especially for areas prone to seismic activities.

I hope you guys will patronize my smart_slab solution �

Have you started?

Hello people, please I need your honest advice on how to remedy this sockaway project. The person is trying to build a precast sockaway because the soil is sandy. However, while trying to dig the ground so the precast sinks down, it cracked and why trying to figure that out, the side starts to compress.

I will be in the comment section to read your honest advice. Many thanks great minds.

Wahala wahala..

I was just wondering the engineers thought process? As it is now, how do they plan to proceed as their initial plan did not work out?

I am not an engineer myself but maybe that was a wrong approach to begin with?

Is there a limit to using this precast slab?

Like can one use it in multi storey buildings like say 3 to 4 storey?

I have seen this trend in east African buildings but they are usually one storey building.

A friend did that shine shine outdoor tiles and I was not even amused by it, I was shocked to see that. Like man what thinketh thou ? He said ehn ehn so people will know he has arrived, and he has no business with reptiles crawling in his compound.

I understand that's his house and all but his reasons got me shaking my head.. I guess why should we care about human safety, slip and falls etc?

This is a guy that have journeyed Europe and have seen those exterior tiles that lasts for thousands of years... easy to maintain too..

For the reptiles there's many natural solutions to that, introduce plants that they don't like in your compound etc..

I will send you the of their agent. He supplied mine and for some here.

I have sent two NL DMs to you...not sure you saw it...
I am still waiting for the 's info.
Thanks in advance

The septic tank has failed because it was not properly reinforced and the span is too long to cast on the surface and sunk as a unit. Money used here is lost already.

I will recommend you cast a new septic tank within this failed one(the failed one will act as earthwork ), but make sure the walls of the new cast are double reinforced.
Engage an engineer to give you the reinforcement design details to be used.
I'm not an engineer!

Hello folks,

Can I get quotes for transom windows[b] without[/b] burglary based on the attached measurements? Pix 1
Other Specifications;
5mm thick blue reflective glass
stainless rails for protector placed horizontally @ 150mm c/c.
No net frame and no net yet.
Material is thick imported

Windows are not the usual ones...so, dimensions were accurately taken.

I also attached in pix 2 what I meant as partitioned
Pix 3 is a sample "normal" window

Thanks in advance.
