Your work area looks relatively clean, unlike most building sites in Ghana
Oh yes we like to keep a clean site our guys know this from the beginning of our expectations. Thanks for joining us 😃
Love to see the progress Prince and Nikki. , two years have gone by so quickly.
I know right! Time flies. Now comes the hard work the finishing !
Nice house I pray God help me with this one day
It will come when you least expect it
@@princenikki AMEN
Your block work is top notch.
Thanks
WOW😂 Your HOUSE IS LOOKING Great I Soòo 😂 Look forward to when Its Completed😊
Me too !! Thanks Gladys it’s sure taking shape right 😃
Well done guys 😊
Thank you getting there slowly !
Why are we using so much chemical in Ghana nowadays. I worry about the chemicals we put in building and long-term effects on our health. Our parents did not do that. My dad builded 40 years ago and has no problem. We just changed the roof last year. I'm very proud of you guys. The house looks good. 👍
Unfortunately you walk around and see so many issues with damp in homes which is a big issue. With research and technological advancements over the years this has been addressed and such products have been brought into the market to address this.
Damp and mould predominantly affect the airways and lungs. The respiratory effects of damp and mould can cause serious illness.
We’ll dine to your dad. Thanks for watching
Great success guys, will be good to put some primer or base painting to go on your plastering to keep it nice and well protected after your treated plastering or rendering. But i hope these waterproof chemicals don't have any expiration and react with the cement in future.
Yes we’re doing exactly this the whole external will get a white wash. Thanks for watching.
@@princenikki I think I asked too soon. But this your project has really gone quick. I think if you really were to push you could be finished by end of this may and it will be liveable completely.
@@nanabrimpong3485 haha if only !! We will continue small steps and get
Prince and Nikki you guys have done a marvelous job. Everything is on point. Symmetry of the windows stand out. Either of you have construction or project management background? I watch a lot of construction videos. But your attention to detail stands out, and it shows. I'm a new subscriber. Thanks for your videos
Thank you so much for your kind words and recognition 😃 we’re very happy with how it’s turning out 🥳 yes Prince is a QS, we own PND Construction LTD
@@princenikki You are then hired when I get the ball rolling with mine!!
@@big99jay would be our pleasure 😀 start something small in stages best thing to get you on your way. In 2 years you will thank yourself.
Great work
😘😘
Congratulations
Thank you for watching we’re really pleased
Wow❤
Thanks for watching
Are the burglar proof in the windows made with solid metal bars? Looks very nice.
🎉❤.
Thanks sir
Was the Sika waterproof product used just at the base of the house? Are you planning to use the Sika product at any locations inside the house such as the bathrooms, laundry room or kitchen?
Hi the waterproof products are two as discussed in the video. We applied one to the bottom and one to the whole external.
We also used waterproof product for all the internal lower ground floor which we completed at the same time.
We will use Sika on the wet rooms on the upper floor. Thanks for watching.
So which sika products did you add to the rising walls from the foundations and which one did you add to the main walls above?
We used Sika Latex below DPC and Sika super lite additives to mortar generally. Thanks
@@princenikki ok thanks and theres no damp to date,,,how about the bathroom and toilet walls?
DPM and DPC is a major issue in our current Gh.
Yes it is and so sad to see when moving around as people just think covering lower walls with tiles will prevent. Unfortunately people still forget the joining tape which will result in issues. It’s about getting it all right the groundwork’s, filling and levels are essential parts.
When you say water proof plastering did you add a water proof agent to the mortar for everywhere in house?
No. Outside only
@@princenikki ok great thanks
Very neat job done.👍🏾
Could you please share the contact(s) of the plastering team?
Hi thanks yes they done a great job.The plastering was completed by our own company PND Construction +233 257029792.
Got it.
Appreciated.
I hope you guys have a caretaker because these scrap boys the can go there and cut those burglar proof bars to sell as scraps. I think you should have installed that security door just getting to completion because they may cause cosmetic damage to it during construction and you will have to tile or render your floor and his could be too low and the door may have to be removed and re-adjusted. Maybe an ordinary metal burglar proof style gate could have been installed temporary and to keep out squatters. I also noticed you sealed off your main entrance with blocks and didn't see any gate installed yet, am I right about that?
The temporary doors were set taking into consideration the finish floor level. We’re very thoughtful in bringing all the stages into one to prevent issues.
Yes the whole property is secure with locked doors and complete high fencing with rear gate. The entrance gate will be reinstalled at a later date. Thanks for watching
@@princenikki thanks. And I do remember hearing your husband mentioning the floor height being taken into consideration. I asked because these things saves money from any error corrections. Because in Ghana the guys always do things and later correct like chipping to the required height and all. I least expected this to happen but I thought you might have left and these were done, so I asked. But thanks for the response. Also how is the Asebu project going because that project is very interesting with the whole setup. I mean the apartment building
@@nanabrimpong3485 thanks, yes Asebu is looking great the client is in a staged break to reorganise then we will go again. We have started a few new ones this month so stay tuned. Thanks
@@princenikki ok
Hello from Boston, please what's the name of the waterproof for the plastering? how much does the roof cost ? I would like to use the type of the roof for my 18 apartment units for rent in ACCRA
Sika water proofing materials, they are a number of product to suit your needs. I’m sure you recognise Sika as it’s internationally known.
Re roofing drop is a message for a brochure and Info on +233 257029792
If you don't fill sand against the plastering, what happens to the gap created?
There is no gap
what is the space left in between the fence wall for?
Zoned landscaping designs / parking
Please who did the roofing
Our own company staff did it pnd_constructiongh. Should you wish to reach out for assistance on top quality roofing call +233 257029792
What’s the names of the water proofing products again pls
Sikalite & sika latex
plastering is for outside and rendering is for inside.
Rendering work is for external and plastering is for internal
We use the wording interchangeably Internationally external is ‘Rending’ but many in Ghana use the term ‘plastering.
For this video it is the external we’re discussing. Thanks for watching
@@princenikki in the Caribbean, we call all of it plastering.....lol
@@nadinedesouza8496 haha
How much per 25lt sika cost in Ghana. Am planning to purchase from UK.
The 25l as at today’s price is ghc 1800. It’s a superior product and internationally renound for waterproofing.
@@princenikki thanks prince I’ve purchased their wood preservers from UK and sent to Ghana really good product but never knew they have it in Ghana. Thanks for sharing. Am very impressed with ur rendering work well done.
