Building a house in Trinidad

[Chimera]

Sherwin William's had a nice 40% sale that ended last week.
Bought a few gallons

I used SW loxon xp on the house and trying ppg sealer and primer at the moment on the perimeter wall.
Can't go wrong with SW but the price is ridiculous.
Will give feedback on the ppg when finished

[screwbash]

i thinking about moving my driveway to the end of the property away from the middle which it now is. the pavement is one high pavement, would the regional corporation come and break the pavement and move my access or do i need to privately hire someone to dig up the pavement and re concrete ? do i need permission or can i just pay the corporation an they will do it ?

[pugboy]

you need corporation permission to do that

[screwbash]

you need corporation permission to do that

so if i get permission from them do i have to do the work privately or would they come and do it for a cost ?

[adnj]

You apply for permission. You hire the contractor that does the work. The RC comes by and tells you whether it is acceptable or not.

[VexXx Dogg]

People usually do it without permission, but if you have bad mind neighbours they might snitch

[Chimera]

Start it like 4pm a evening and work into the night. They can't report it after 4pm as no one will answer. And by the time they get anyone the next day you could claim u eh do nun. Some crew come in the night and do that.

[screwbash]

i want it done with less stress to me. if the corporation cud do it i glad. i studying who to pass some money to tuh get itdone

[Mowally]

@screwbash I hear yuh with that one .Right now I need a self-help grant from Reg Corp, but ppl telling me self-help money get eaten up in elections.

Good day Tuners I need some guidance. I bought land in Belmont (flat freehold land). I'm not verse with the jargon in T&C but I was given a letter titled 'permission to develop lands'. Approval to construct must come from the Regional corporation. Bearing that in mind, I've asked my draughtsman and a number of contractors if I should proceed with at least doing a foundation, whist seeking approvals, I getting mixed reviews.

The land has been approved for building, but I'm not sure if I should proceed or I really need to wait on that approval. Added to that I want to build using cash, so I don't need approved plans right this minute, but due to renting issues, I need a house to house meh family asap. Utilities are underway, and such.

Also what's the lowest cost per/sqft to get your house built? I was told $350 per/ sqft. I've between $250k-$350k & I did drawings for a 68x24 2 storey (doh worry upstairs will come in a timing). 3 bedrooms downstairs with 1.5 bathrooms, open concept, kitchen/ living room, dining room, laundry, storage 'no frills' bear basics house.
Those who in the field send some numbers nah, I'll greatly appreciate. Lemme know if is better I buy 2 containers

Does Trinrico sell retail? I would like to get some of those fence rail clamps. I wonder if Dansteel or Bhagwansinghs will have those??

[Chimera]

Yes they sell retail. Budget 3 to 4 hours out of your day for any purchase there though

Hey guys, don't know if this belongs here but i'm looking to install an AC in my bedroom.

this is the layout of the room.

i'm looking at accessibility for any AC tech to have a look at it when it need servicing so above the bed might not be practical? I was thinking above the door on the left side but i imagine the drain hose in trunking might look ugly. where would you guys advise?

Can the wardrobe be moved? If yes then that’s the location for it

nah dred. it will take up real space if i put it against the opposing wall.

[carluva]

Over the bed is the next obvious location

[matix]

You need to consider the conduit work needed, the drain lines and electrical for it. Also the servicing of it when techs come. What will need to be moved when they come to service. Nerve is the right man to assist with this.

What is the avg cost to do a roof soffit and bashboard sheeting on 62 x 35ft single storey house?
My gypsum guy is telling me around $22,000, but I think that's it is kinda high.

[Redman]

St7.

Factor in....it starts dripping the night before a long weekend...and it takes a while to service.

That labour cost is actually on the very low end...which may mean sh!t work. A roof that size depending on style..hip..gable..shed etc...will be in the region of 35-40k.

More truth has never been spoken

[pugboy]

he say soffits which i think means just eaves
if they using the metal ones it actually real easy to frame up like gypsum and just snap in.
them fellas like to buss price as though it is some high tech work

Well I've lost books and pictures because it leaked quietly... seeping down the wall perfectly...to messup the impossible to replace items....

[blacklight]

Yup just soffit and bashboard panels are being changed.

[seekseek]

There is no way that's a real cost.

10 years ago when I built my fence, which was concrete foundation, full walls in some places, full columns in some places, pockets for iron work and 2" posts for chin link set in short columns and a running length of about 400+ ft, material and labour was about 150k.

Trying to do about 250 feet of fencing, based in Princes Town, flat land, and want to know approximate prices so so I can know when to start.

1. Chain link

2. PVC fencing

3. Concrete wall

Got a quote for 25 grand plus VAT for labour and material for a concrete wall with decorative bricks.

The quote was chain link...after all....

[Musical Doc]

Is it necessary to pile for the posts that going to hold a 15 ft sliding gate? If I do have to pile, how deep should I go?
