Good day everyone . Please how much can I do plasterboard of 520 squaremeters with design .thanks

Otunba01 Greetings! Can you list the rooms and also share the sizes of each room if possible? You can share the floor plan with me as well using Private Messaging if not comfortable posting it here. We also need to know the building type (Bungalow or Multi-storey building?) I often use plasterboards as a replacement for POP boards so estimation is not done per sqm but per room and design requirements. A standard plasterboard installation uses grids which we don’t use while using plasterboards as alternative to traditional pop board.

Thanks for the information. Although I may not be screening the whole area as shown in the attached picture, just to reduce cost.

What is the best mix proportion for the cement, paint and bond?

brabus

Gordonbarret I’d plan ¾ bag of cement, ¾ bucket of paint and 5 - 10kg of top bond for 2 standard rooms.

This is impressive. Please can anyone help me to cost the gypsum board alternative for a 3 bedroom and 2 bedroom bungalows for a total about 340 square metres inluding labour cost. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

GBAK I think floor plan may be needed to estimate. Unlike pop, plasterboard’s size is fix.

GBAK @brabus @naijapal et al your expertise is needed here.

That guy is a wizard in construction estimation.

I’ll look into this and come up with a ballpark figure.

Good afternoon All, please I still need help with the calculations of the plasterboard required for the uploaded plan above.I beg, Heeeeelp !

brabus

GBAK I forgot. I’m sorry about that. I’ll find time to do that shortly.

brabus

GBAK You’ll need about 25 - 27 boards in the 2 bed apartment.

You’ll require 47 - 50+ boards in the3 bed apartment.

Pls note that final qty is dependent on your design choice.

Labour is charged per metre. it ranges between 700 - 1000+ per metre depending on the expertise of the installer and the design requirement.
